Everything a Camper needs

We live near the coast in North Carolina and I had been wanting an inverter generator for the camper. My friend bought the iGen4500DF and recommended it to me. This is the perfect generator for a camper. The ease of operation and how quiet it runs is great. It not only looks great but runs great as well.

Want to love it.

This thing has so many useful features I'm hoping it will live up to my expectations. It's off to a shaky start, though. On the plus side, the operation is easy and straightforward. Love the electric start! Love that it has an RV electrical outlet as well as standard 120V outlets. Love the dual-fuel capability. I added gas and oil (more on that shortly), left the run switch off and pulled the starter cord a few times to make sure oil was circulated. Turned the switch to on, pushed START and voila, up and running. The operating manual cautions against running it with no load so I verified it was running smoothly then shut it off. Now for the not so good. I have to agree with other reviewers. Adding oil is a bit awkward. Not nearly as awkward as draining and changing it is going to be. More bad - my unit is leaking oil. At first the leak was fairly significant. I think one possibility for it is that there may have been some residual oil in the engine left over from factory testing. I followed the directions in the manual and added the whole container supplied with the unit and, since you can't actually see what's happening while you're adding the oil, it may have overflowed and that's where the dripping is coming from. The dripping has slowed (after about 20 hours) but it's still there. I'm going to give it another day to see if it stops before I contact tech support. Other than that, it seems to be an excellent product and well worth the money.

New but love it so far

Super easy setup. I had it running within minutes of unboxing. I ran it on propane first. Used all three starting methods and it started first time with all three. I was able to start with the remote from over 120 feet away. Very solid, feel like great quality. I was blown away by how quiet this generator is, even when standing next to it. From 20 feet away it's just minor background noise.

GREAT INVERTER/GENERATOR

Bought for our RV. Husband got it hooked up to RV & started it with fab. So easy to start compared to the old one we had, that was pull start. It was very quiet. Then he turned on the Air Conditioner in RV while I stayed outside and could not tell it got any louder. Love this inverter. Easy to move with handle and wheels. Definitely would recommend this inverter.

Features and Efficiency

I received my iGen4500DF last week to provide backup power to business's network equipment and servers. The low THD, less than 3% satisfies my Server's sensitive UPS power requirements. It appears I'll get close to 20 hours on a tank of gas running a 25-30% load, I haven't yet ran enough propane, but it's very efficient, burning about 1 pound in 1 hour and 15 minutes, again at 25-30% load. The gages a great, and I didn't need to use my test meters to measure the load on the inverter. The fuel gage seems accurate too.

so far so good

Looks good so far. Fired right up on both gas and propane. I'm in process of running through break in period. Very easy to move around. The battery was a little tricky to get hooked up; need someone with small hands to get it into its place. Somewhat noisier than I'd hoped; I measure about 68dB at 25ft, but that's on a concrete patio with house on 2 sides, so probably not too bad. I'll normally run at 35 feet or so and expect noise to be not bad at all. The wireless start will be great for night time control.

Igen4500df

Generator runs fine out of the box. Still working through the break in period so I don't know how it will do under full load but the remote start does not work. The manual shows a different control panel and the remote pairing instructions don't work.

1st iGen4500DF Runs Great on Gasoline - Purchased

I bought my 1st iGen4500 in January 2021. The generator runs very quietly and provides enough power for our travel trailer. The only issue that I have is that I can’t get the generator to run on propane even after I ensured that the system was purged of all gasoline and the selector switch was set appropriately. Today was the first time I attempted to run the generator on propane with no success. I went through the troubleshooting procedures several times with no success, but I switched back to gasoline and it runs fine. Today (2/19/2022) I have contacted Westinghouse to find out how this issue can be resolved along with the current recall that I just found out about. Hopefully Westinghouse’s customer service is good and we can get everything taken care of. I would love to provide a update to my review after we get these issues resolved. I have faith that they will make things right. Don’t get me wrong, I believe this is an excellent generator that runs very quietly even with the issues that I am currently experiencing. I liked it so much, I purchased a second one last week along with a parallel cable so I can use the generators together during a power outage. I would recommend this generator to anyone. I have started our second iGen4500DF for the first time today using propane and it runs great.

Great features!

Easy start-up, works great, remote start works great, great features like digital display power and fuel usage, love compact size and operationally quiet. I just purchased so haven't put it to a great test as of yet. But so far, it looks and operates great out of the box.
