Awesome unit

Used the iGen4500DF for the first time to camp out at The QuikTrip 500 Folds Of Honor. Started her up around 7:00 PM and the next morning at 7:30 AM we still had 3 hours of run time left. We ran three 800w heaters in a 20 man tent, satellite TV and lights. The eco and dual fuel features are a must have. Also for the size of this unit it runs very quite.

Very Quiet

Just bought this and have only run it on propane so far, using it in several applications around the property. It set up quickly and runs great. It is very quiet. You can stand next to it and have a conversation. Very happy with it so far. We just have to find some way to store, and keep with the generator, the attachments and other necessary items that came with it. I am thinking some kind of string backpack that can attach to the handle. It would be awesome if the cover had a pocket for these things.

IGen4500DF

Features I like are the extending handle and large wheels to make it easier to maneuver. Starts easily and panel is easy to read. Instructions are not consistent. One section says to not change fuel source while running and another section gives instructions on how to switch fuel source while running. Still in the break-in period. Decibel meter shows 67 on eco mode. Thought it would be less than 60. Instructions say to empty entire bottle of oil in crankcase, but that overfilled it. Not 100% happy with this generator just yet.

Everything I wanted and more!

I ordered this generator primarily for my RV. I needed quiet and enough power to run a 15K BTU AC unit. I wanted the dual fuel and remote start. This delivered all I wanted and more. Super easy to set up and it started right up. After running it for a little while, I connected my RV and was not disappointed. It ran the AC, water heater, TV and microwave all at once. I heard it ramp up as I was adding load, it it quickly settled at a very pleasant rpm and decibel level. I would not feel bad about running this unit at a campground if electricity was not available. I cant imagine how I could be more pleased with this generator. Maybe if Westinghouse figured out how to automate the gas valve on my propane tank so I could completely start it with the remote.

Solid investment

Building an off-grid cabin in West Texas. This generator will be used as back-up to my solar array. The unit is well built and performs as advertised. Quiet and, so far, 100% reliable. Initial startup was on propane. Switching to gasoline and back again was seamless. The dual fuel capability is a big plus.

Perfect camping generator

We absolutely love our. A little louder then my father in laws honda but mine runs everything I need and more, my wife and I love the remote start. I don't have to put pants on in the middle of the night if I need to crank it up for anything. I love that I run off propane. A little more expensive then gas but it's less wear and tear and it's easy enough to keep a few tanks topped off and not worry about dumping gas trying to fill it up. Plus my wife can transfer propane tanks in her car without it smelling like a gas can for a week.

Like a Workhorse!

Bought this beauty about two weeks before a microburst, from a tornado active system, destroyed two of my trees and the Hydro-Quebec pole, ripping out the wires connected to my house. One thing led to another, and before you knew it three weeks went by (I have no time to describe the series of events that led to that unfortunate delay before electrical power was functioning again). Got the iGen 4500 DFc going, and it didn't fail me once during all that time. Well over 100 hours (broken up over the 20 days) without skipping a beat! Made things a lot easier! Would buy it again 10x over!

Great Generator

I purchased this generator to provide an emergency backup power source for my home. I have got it all set up and have run it for a break in period and tested it, and it works exactly as advertised! I believe the high power output, CO safety shutoff, and dual fuel source option make it a safe and versatile generator. Parts are hard to source, as Westinghouse either does not have them in stock or does not have them listed on their website at all, but otherwise I'm very happy with this generator and have peace of mind knowing it will keep my family and me powered through an emergency!

Very quiet and good power

After reviewing hours of online videos and written reviews I decided to give the igen4500df a try. I was hesitant with so many reviews showing the choke issue but videos show it is an easy fix. Setup was really easy and it started with the second button push. Runs great. Really quiet. Will run both A/C units but that is its max. Anything else and it will trip the overload on my fifth wheel. Remote start is a must have in my opinion as I do not want to go outside in the cold morning air to be able to start my Coffey pot. Overall I would highly recommend this product based on initial impressions.

Great to "Top Off" Solar / Battery Systems

I purchased this inverter generator to supplement two 3600W backup batteries that also take solar power. During this last hurricane, we didn't have enough sunshine to keep the batteries charged. This review is after a 45 minute test. When using propane, this unit charged one at 1680 W input which is close to 50% load for max fuel efficiency. I expect to be able to charge both batteries simultaneously and use the batteries to run items in the house. We would run the generator periodically during the day to recharge them and have them fully charged for overnight use. Startup was easy - except I remember watching setup videos that instruct connecting the battery for first use. I didn't see anything on the first time connection in the manual (I may have missed it.). The remote started the unit in a couple of seconds. It really is quiet for a generator. Our lawnmower is louder than this generator.
