Dual fuel driven purchase

I bought this for the occasional boon-docking opportunities we might have while using our fifth-wheel RV. For me, tying into the propane tanks on board seemed to make it an easy choice for the operating the generator. The generator looked great coming out the box. I’m happy to have it on board for non-electric sites. The only downside to this purchase was the overall height was 1” too high to fit under my roll-top cover for the pick-up bed. I’m hoping this unit will give me many years of satisfactory service.

Overall Good - Remote start needs improvement

After using two days; overall I am happy with the purchase, with one exception. I have found that leaving my RV plugged into the generator (RV ready plug) can cause the generator remote start battery to drain too low to use the remote start. This renders the remote start function basically useless. There should be a diode in the charging circuit to prevent this or a relay to disconnect the charging circuit from the generator battery when RV battery drops below a specific value. This seems like an engineering oversight, or perhaps a product defect in an otherwise solid product.

iGen4500DF is a good, if not a great generator

After much review. We purchased this generator for off grid camping. So far really like this little gen. Has been easy to manage and transport. With a little shielding is fairly quiet. The dual fuel feature with a 20/30 LB. LP tank, allows for a pretty clean transport and set up. So far appears perfect fit for our camper/camping needs.

Well fitted to camping

Bought the iGen 4500DF 18 days ago . Was really impressed with the quick shipping, ordered Wednesday night and received Saturday morning same week. The unit was easy to prep for operation started up on first try and ran smoothly very quiet for a generator of this size . The remote start feature has me a little confused since the manual states not to start or shut the generator down with anything plugged to it . Other than that Every thing worked as advertised right out of the box can't wait to take camping.

IGen5000DFc

I just purchased this generator and am pleased with what I have seen so far. Initial set up was very easy and my test run passed with flying colors. Didn’t give it 5 stars since I haven’t used it to it’s full capacity. Will leave another review when I do.

Perfect Design

First generator I've bought and very happy. Low noise, very easy to use, controls on the front and easy to read. Dual fuel so important because I can store propane easier that fuel, but if i'm going to have extended use I can use gas, or what's most available. My wife loves how easy she can connect propane and start the generator. Handle makes it very easy to move. We are very happy with this generator

Looks solid. High altitude kit is a pain

I bought this generator a couple months ago. Upon receiving it, I learned I was supposed to install a high altitude carburetor kit (from instructions buried in the manual) or I would void the warranty. The high altitude kit was nearly impossible to find online. The part numbers didn’t match the numbers in the manual but they did match the part numbers I found in a Westinghouse blog. I finally found it on some site that seemed affiliated with Westinghouse but I’m not even sure. I certainly wasn’t sure I’d receive the parts I ordered. They did show eventually but the instructions on the blog are really only meant for a technician so I had to find a local repairman to come install them. I finally got them installed, two months after my initial purchase. If you live above 2,000 ft, be prepared for a long process to buy and install the kit The generator otherwise seems solid and well built. Starting it is easy and it’s quiet

To early to tell.

Haven't used it yet. I received a recall long before the unit was delivered. Still discerning if I'm reading the serial number correctly? I would of gave it 5 stars if not for the recall, hope I can someday say. Long after the price has been paid and long forgotten, the quality still remains!

Great Customer Service and Good product

My first IGen generator had a recall on the unit and was sent a new generator which did not start on gas. Customer service was very helpful and was able to get me a new one quickly which has been working well. Prior to the recall unit the generator was working well and was used on several camping trips this year. The lighter weight is nice without sacrificing quality. Very easy set-up and I especially like the ability to start the unit with the key fob from the trailer without having to go to the unit when needing to run the microwave for a short period. The unit is quieter than most generators. I picked this unit for the portability and ability to wheel it to a given location and it has not disappointed.

Great so far

I just received this generator two days ago, but my initial impression is good. I added oil, plugged battery in, hooked up propane, and fired it up. It ran smooth and quiet. I plugged in a 1500w electric heater and it handled it no problem. So far I’m happy with my purchase.
