Easy to Get Started

Purchased the iGen4500DF by mail order after the latest storm. While the power stayed on I wanted to be prepared in case I'm not so lucky next time. This generator will be used to power the essentials such as the refrigerator, sump pump, and some lights when the next outage hits. The generator came well packaged and it worked right out of the box with no issues. Everything you need to get started, except fuel, is included right in the box. So far I've run it for a few hours on both gas and propane with varying loads and it has handled everything like a champ. The plan is to burn it in for a few more hours, change the oil, then prep it for long term storage so it's ready when needed. It's a little heavy so definitely not "portable" but the wheels and handle make it easy to maneuver and its relatively compact size make it easy to store out of the way in the garage. Much easier to handle than a full sized open frame generator. For its size, this unit cannot be beat!.

Dual Fuel - So Cool...

I bought this to use with my 17' trailer - primarily used for hunting in the winter months. The fact that it uses propane means that I just need one fuel source for both my generator and trailer furnace. The cherry on top is the remote start. Instead of cranking on my old generator for 15 minutes in sub zero temps just to get it to turn (that was me last year), I just push the start button from the comfort of my sleeping bag. So, in conclusion, it's pretty awesome.

iGen5000FDc Generator is Impressive

I purchased an iGEN5000DFc generator in July ’24 and it has exceeded all my expectations. This inverter generator is amazingly quiet, powerful, and very fuel efficient. I especially like the electric start, LED status display, quality, and relatively small machine footprint without sacrificing generous amperage. I currently use the generator during power outages which typically run for several days at a time (happens quite often here in the Gulf Coast) to run two refrigerators, a large freezer, floor fans, TV/computers, and various lights; and there is still amperage to spare to run a large portable AC unit, clothes washer and dryer. Even though it is a dual-fuel, I have only been using LP so far. I highly recommend this generator.

Unboxing and initial setup went smoothly

I just received the iGen 4500w Dual Fuel generator and unboxed it. No damage, in perfect condition. Made in Vietnam. The written instructions are well done and up to expected grammar standards. All maintenance panels are easy to remove. Connecting the battery was a bit of a challenge for my man hands but eventually got that done. Based on the weight of the generator, I'm glad they provide a collapsible airport-luggage style handle, makes moving a breeze. Warranty registration can be done online. I bought this large home generator for peace of mind. I'll do the engine break-in and change the oil. Other than that, This will be a "Break Glass in Case of Emergency" item and I plan on only using propane for fuel. I think this will be an awesome generator.

Nice generator

Generator is quiet and makes electricity like it should. I like the ability to run on propane. Things I would improve. 1. A larger access door to oil side. Door is small making it difficult to access to check oil level. I accidentally added too much oil, instructions warned that there may be some oil. I was slowly removing the oil drain and came to the conclusion that I may not be able to get the drain plug back in quickly because of the tight space so changed my tactic and opted to pull oil back out the fill hole with a fluid extractor. Thinking the extractor may be a cleaner way to change the oil. 2. It would be helpful if there were bolt down tabs to secure the generator to a tray on the back of an RV. Looking forward to using this generator

Great features!

I recently bought the iGen4500DF generator to be prepared for hurricane season in Florida and for camping. I chose this generator after tons of research because I wanted something powerful enough to run 2 refrigerators, fans, and several lights in my house during power outages. I also loved how quiet it is so it’s perfect for any camp site or RV resort. Since it’s an inverter generator it runs at lower rpm’s if you don’t have a lot plugged into it so that means it’ll run quieter under less that full load. Other generators I’ve had were so low I couldn’t take the noise and they weren’t allowed at RV parks. It’s just as quiet as the smaller 2200 generators but has twice the power of needed. I haven’t had it long enough for a long term review but so far I’m really happy with my decision. Very nice machine. I did not have the automatic choke wire issue like I’ve read in other reviews, mine worked perfect out of the box.

Good inverter generator

Bought this for off-grid RV dry camping. Love the connections and fuel capacity, along with the propane capabilities. Remote start is a nice feature when it works; can't seem to figure out how long the battery is supposed to remain charged. Kept our 14.5k btu AC running through two nights with only using ~2 gallons of fuel a night. Looking forward to using it more.

Easy to Use

I'm 80 years old, therefore we needed something that we can operate. I did a lot of study beforehand. The electric start was of the utmost importance, and we needed a generator with an RV hookup. Being avid campers, the dual fuel was a real plus as we already have the propane gas on the camper. Lastly, the name Westinghouse just wraps up the whole package. Thank you for such a fine product.

Great features

Just added the oil, connected the battery, installed the hose and regulator, turned the switch on and pressed the on button on the remote. It started immediately and I could not believe how quiet it runs. I'll test it out in the next 2 weeks on our first camping trip of the season but it made a 5 Star first impression.

Solid and Capable Machine

I am still in the process of break in and keeping the load under 50%, but I am so pleased with this generator. It is reasonable silent, feature packed and reasonably priced. My only complaint is the oil change process...difficult and if you spill oil in there, you will never get it all out.
