Long, Quiet Operation

We finally got to take this out on a dispersed camping trip. We took 6 gallons of gas, but only put 1 gallon in to start off with. At the rate we used it, the 1 gallon lasted the three days and ran quietly. Although we didn't run equipment long, it ran our 15,000 BTU AC unit, charged the battery, and ran the accessories. It ran quiet enough that the people around didn't complain. Loved the remote start. I didn't think I would need it, but it was really handy. Would definitely buy again, just need to see how long it lasts.

Compact, quiet and Efficient

I needed a quieter alternative to my Champion open frame dual fuel for my sanity and that of my fellow campsite denizens. This IGen4500DF fills the bill perfectly. From its compact and QUIET frame to some of its features such as RV Ready outlet, nice multifunction display, remote start, and the dual fuel capability. Did I mention QUIET? Yep, does what I want with aplomb. Would recommend this to anyone searching for an inverter generator in this class. Thank you.

1st generator

Purchased this because of living along the coast in SC. Had several power outages each of the last 3 years due to storms. Figured I would protect myself next time. Generator came within 4 days. Easy set up. Filled with supplied oil. Fueled up and connected the battery. Turned on the battery switch and fuel knob. Used the start button on the unit and it fired right up once it got gas. Shut off and started with the remote. Again it fired right up. This thing is very quiet with no load. I'm sure once there is a load it will be a little louder but can't be much. Very pleased so far. Will be ready for the next power outage.

Automatic choke issues

I purchased this generator a month ago. First time took it camping it started twice and then did not start. It would go through the two start cycles and not start. I contacted customer support and was told to tap the carb because of a possible stuck float. When I removed the cover one of the plastic alignment pins broke or was broke. I soon noticed that there was a screw on the automatic choke that was not just loose but extended out about and inch. I tightened all the screws and and it started up and has worked great ever since. It just sucks that I had to work on a brand new item and in the process the side cover broke. If it were not for the choke issue I would have given this item 5 stars. It currently has been running excellent and the remote is a great option when camping.

Planning for a cold day

I bought this in case of severe weather. It has been sitting for 4 months now, just put the oil and fuel in, connected the battery and it fired right up. Not nearly as loud as I thought it was going to be. Will be starting it up monthly from now on. Maintenance instructions seem to be pretty straightforward.

OverAll an Excellent Generator ... But ....

When I unboxed and setup the Gen it wouldn't start. I researched and found that it was a common problem with this Gen. One of the cables was NOT plugged in. Westinghouse needs to do better QUALITY CONTROL. They have an Excellent Product but the People Assembling it are lacking.

Awesome Generator

I got this generator in January but haven't used yet as it is winter and not camp season. It's now April so I am getting ready for use. I filled with oil, fuel, and connected the battery. Unit fired right up both with push start on the unit and with the remote. I let run for 30 minutes to start the breakin period. The unit was quiet especially for the size. I didn't test with a meter but it's possibly a little quieter than my Generac 2200 watt inverter. Gave 4 star as I haven't used at all to be able to give a five star rating. Also it's nice to have the extendable handle but it feels flimsy like the handle on travel luggage. This unit is heavy so will just have to see how it holds up. Not concerned that handle will affect my like for the generator as the wheels seem big and sturdy.

Reliable, Tough, and best of all quiet

I bought this generator as off grid power for my travel trailer, after seeing how well one performed on my son's 1' sailing catamaran. We both have put these generators through some tough conditions and harsh environments. We also service and maintain our equipment well. But these things are just plain tough. One of the best purchases either of us has made. I would highly recommend the iGen4500 to anyone who needs tough, reliable portable power.

Great features

I got this yesterday filled it with gas and oil hooked up the battery and it started up with in two pulls.Then tried the electric start fired right up. Then tried the key fab and again fired right up. no leaks. I gave it four stars because i have to order the higher elevation kit for the carb.

Great Product

I bought two of these generators to power our RV as well as multiple blow up structures and appliances. The two can split up all the items or run in parallel and handle everything together. The propane option is great. Easy to transport, longer expiration date, doesn't stink up the RV and when switching from gas to propane, the machine actually cleans our the carburetor. Couldn't be happier!!
