Still so far, so good

I ordered two of these and received them amazingly fast (ordered on the 3rd, received on the 7th). They are very nice looking, compact, well thought out design. As I was removing the oil dipstick, I did consider that it’s a little fumbley for those with normal to large hands. I haven’t actually used them yet, but they insist I do the review now if I want a free cover. So far, so good!

love the quick start

two of us bought this unit after seeing several of our neighbors using it. have had a couple issues getting propane started but gasoline works great.Love the quick start and am setting it up in a secure place. I needed 2200 watts and my little honda wasn't handling the load. now am feeling real good about the whole house using the power. wish it was a little quieter but can live with it.

Easy setup - Works 1st time

Bought this for emergency use during power outages. It was very easy to setup & everything worked perfectly straight out of the box. I plan to run this on propane only & couldn't be happier with purchase after much research. Very quiet operation is great for overnight operation

Easy setup

purchased this as a home backup. I have only had the generator for an hour or so and so far I am impressed. The only negative so far is adding the oil for the initial setup. Do not add the entire bottle of oil! I was under the assumption it was like anything you buy in that they provide an adequate amount of oil...guess that's what I get for assuming

Quite and powerful

Great generator, fired right up, started breaking it in last night. Really surprised by how quiet it runs, this will be the perfect companion on our boondocking trips! Have not tried propane yet but am excited to have the option. Perfect for our RV

Quiet, convenient and powerful

I bought this a week ago and I am already impressed. This generator is very quiet and will very welcome by my fellow campers when using it. It works great on both gas and propane. Tested it on both fuels on my 24' camper trailer and it powered everything in it including the heater/air conditioner with no issues. It is light enough to pick up to load into truck but the retractable handle underneath makes it a breeze to roll/move around and pull it up a set of ramps. No regret at all on this purchase. I can already tell it will come in handy backing up my home generator.

My wife can use it!!

We purchased this unit a few weeks ago and finally ran it today. The provided directions are easy to read and understand. All fluids are easy to fill and Westinghouse has made an easy oil access port and supplied a screw-on funnel for your convenience. Gas fill is on the top and it's nice and wide holding 3-4 gallons of gas. Both sides of the unit can be removed for access to oil fluid fill and the air filter. One other feature we love is the pull out handle which makes moving this unit easy to move around even though it's heavy. Lastly, it comes with a remote start and it fires right up! I asked my wife to come outside and start the generator using the remote start. She was amazed and the ease of operation. Gas, oil, fuel selector, battery on and remote start! So far, we love it.

It has everything I wanted in a generator

I bought this generator due to it being rich with features. It is quiet, it has ample power for my use, dual fuel capability, remote start, three-ways to easily start it, a display panel with stats, lightweight and a three year limited warranty. I have owned one of the contractor generators in the past and they are so noisy you can't have a conversation anywhere within 25 or 30 yards of it. The Westinghouse iGen 4500 inverter generator is so quiet I can stand right next to it and converse without having to raise my voice. It is quieter than a car engine running. I lose power, on average, a couple of times a week for two or more hours and a couple of winters ago I lost it for 4 days straight in freezing weather. It's not fun sitting around the house without even having a radio, much less a television or even charging a phone and only a flashlight for light. Now I can power some electronics and lights. At times I am not available to crank up a generator but with the iGen, my wife can flip the ON switch and remote start the generator without a problem. It even has an automatic choke built into the unit. It starts on the first try every time I have used it. Dual fuel was a big plus for me. Instead of having limited capability and having multiple gas cans sitting around, I can use my 250 gallon propane tank that is located just a few yards from my install location. Propane is also a much cleaner burning fuel and therefore it will not gum-up the carburetor like gasoline. I like being able to monitor my power usage and the led display panel shows power output, voltage and running time. For those that use gasoline, there are additional readouts that shows your fuel level in addition to remaining run time. The warranty being three years is probably as good as it gets. I spent a lot of time trying to find a generator that had all the features that I wanted. I could not ask for a better generator and I am extremely happy with my purchase.

Gen for our new trailer

Very happy with the product. Quiet and easy to operate. Telescoping handle makes it nice to move around. Large capacity tank, digital readout, remote start, multiple power output options to power items, and the wattage rating to handle our AC unit on the trailer were our focus and choice of the iGen4500DF over others.

Simple to operate

I haven't powered much with it yet, but is ridiculously easy to start and operate. I would have given five stars, but the included manual appears to be for a different revision of the generator, because the picture of the control panel does not match the actual control panel. The latest manual available on-line appears to match the actual control panel, but some of the described decals are different from the ones on my generator.
