Great features although a little heavy

I have only used this generator for a few hours but I am very happy with the performance thus far. I am still breaking the unit in, but have tested it out on power tools, my refrigerator, and a microwave. I have not yet tried the unit with gas, but the engine started immediately with propane. Very happy thus far!

Exactly what I wanted, quiet with dual fuel

I bought this to take to hunt camp and just regular camping. Item arrived, filled with oil and gas and immediately started up, switched to propane and didn't skip a beat. Another great feature was the remote start. When it gets really cold here in Colorado, it will be nice to have that feature.

Best for Us with All the Reviews Reviewed

My boyfriend and I are going to be traveling for quite a while in our camper, and as off campgrounds as possible. This generator is going to save us in all conditions. It’s fairly lightweight for being able to store different fuels at the same time. Love the handle for easy movability. Easy off and on toggle is super cool, and will come in handy when we want to shut it off and on from inside our camper (instead of having to go outside to turn on and off). Happy to give this company a good review— their product is the real deal!

Best Generator I have had!

I was looking for a simple quiet generator that used propane. I settled on the Westinghouse because of the great experience I had with another Westinghouse generator. This one exceeds that. Easy to set up. Hooked up the propane tank, pushed the button and it started. And it is super quiet.

Very surprised by all the features!

I bought this at a great price, was extremely easy to set up, has more features than any other generator on the market and costs less. This thing started right up, no problems, it's very quiet and runs very well. The luggage style pull out handle to move it is a great bonus as well, its extremely sturdy and spring loaded so you can use your foot to pop it out. I enjoy the small details. Thanks!

Shocked, It's So Quiet.

The iGen 4500 DFc-dual fuel generator, compared to 2 other generators I own, is very quiet. The others are a high and loud, almost shrill sound. This one is low and I can easily hear a conversation if I'm only 7 feet away. I especially like the remote start/off. It's just a really nice feature. I will only be using Propane, which creates a lower output, but worth not having the gumming situation which occurs with gas. My wife liked the encased blue look of it, which she says looks nice. I think it helped me convince her of the purchase price. (wink)

The Perfect Generator

I did quite a bit of research and compared many models before deciding on this one. The remote start is just one of the many features that makes this unit worth owning. The dual fuel capability is another one. The fact that the propane connection hose, with regulator, and a battery charger is included is a plus. It even comes with a tool kit. The control panel is loaded with options. The digital display shows the approximate gas tank level and remaining run time along with the voltage and wattage outputs. It also keeps track of lifetime usage hours. All of the user ports and switches are equipped with protective covers. Switching from gasoline to propane is just a simple flip of a switch on the control panel once the propane tank is connected. In addition to the two heavy duty recessed grab bars on the top of the unit, there is a built in extendable handle that collapses completely out of the way when not in use. The 5 1/2 inch wheels are just right for moving across rugged terrain. Getting at the battery and oil dip stick is done by pushing the tab on the top side of the removable access panels. This housing of this compact transportable generator is sleek and smooth. Nothing sticks out beyond the cover and it completely encloses the engine and inverter with sound dampening material making this probably the quietest 4500 watt generator on the market.

Great addition!

This works great for our application. Runs everything in our travel trailer that is needed for a comfortable stay and is a great unit just in case for hurricane season. Love the versatility to run on propane or gas. Super easy setup and startup. Very happy with the purchase.

good features

I am disappointed to learn after purchase that according to the manual, this unit is very sensitive to wet weather conditions. That's when we will need it, when the weather is stormy enough to knock the power out! The oil fill is inconvenient/changing the oil will be a hassle. Both of these issues can be overcome but . . .

Nice compact unit with easy to operate controls.

After researching portable inverter/generator models on a few independent consumer sites, and based on their ratings, we made the decision to purchase the iGen4500DF generator in November of 2024. We wanted something compact to use for temporary backup of essential appliances in the event of a power outage. We also intend to use it to power an RV at un-serviced campsites. The unit started and ran flawlessly from initial start-up, and through the break-in period, cycling from gasoline to propane, and back to gasoline several times over the recommended 5-hour initial break-in run. Electrical appliances were cycled during break-in varying generator output from 25% - 50%. At the end of the break-in cycle an additional appliance was added increasing power output to 90%. In all cases the generator governed the engine rpm smoothly throughout the electrical load variations. The unit is well designed with robust body panels, and the control panel is nicely laid out and easy to understand. The handles to lift the generator are well designed allowing the unit to be lifted while wearing thick gloves. The retractable handle for moving the unit on its wheels is also a nice feature (easier on the back). I was able to stop and start the unit with the remote from 60 ft with no issue. I didn't try any further than 100 ft, but I don't have any reason to believe that it wouldn't work further away that that. The unit is nice and quiet, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable compact inverter/generator with good power output.
