I did a ton of research before narrowing down my generator list to two. This one stood out as more powerful, quieter and loaded with more features, for a BETTER price! I did have to do some digging to find them in stock but it was well worth the effort to find. I have completed the 5 hours run-in and I am looking forward to many years of service.

I wanted a backup generator that wasn't too big like an open frame model. But I also wanted an inverter model that was more powerful than most inverter models. Finally, it was important for me to get a dual fuel generator. The iGen 4500DF fits the bill perfectly.

The manual was missing from the box so I had to look up the online version which was inconvenient. I will request a paper copy from WH bec the online version may not be available during an outage. The manual also has a reference to a choke lever which appears non-existent for this model so that was very confusing. I need to clarify this that with WH support as well.

Fast set up and starts quickly with just a touch of a button. Ours is set up for propane and plugs into a through the wall set up with multiple plugs on the inside of the house to prevent any exhaust gasses from coming inside. Now we are all set for power outages with this backup system!

I own a Westinghouse iGen2500c (gasoline only) inverter generator that I bought to run my Mom's boiler water pump. It has a pull start only but starts every time. It runs very quietly and supplies well more than the boiler motor requires. This 4500DF is for my house which needs to run a 1/2hp blower motor for my forced-air furnace as well as my refrigerator. It was delivered very late in the evening so I haven't had a chance to run it. I will start it tomorrow but knowing it's a Westinghouse, I expect the quality to be 100% as good as the 2500c.

Just bought this portable generator. It is very easy to understand the operation due to the well organized user manual. Easy to move around with wheels and pull out handle for moving it. Also 3 ways to start it up. Two fuels (gasoline & propane) Can't wait to try it out with my sump pump next time the electricity goes out.

I literally waited over a year-and-a-half for this generator to become available. Demand for the unit caused by the California wildfires made this a rare commodity. Received the unit yesterday, uncrated her today and did the set-up and oil fill. Hit the remote start button once and voila! It started instantly! This is a very quiet generator and will make a nice addition when dry camping. Wish I could have picked one up sooner, but it appears to have been well worth the wait.

I reviewed several options to enhance my home back up system. After considering price, features, and availability I am glad I chose this product. It is super compact and it was shipped quickly and and easy to install. This is a great addition to my home back up system. I appreciate the fact that you can use propane or regular gas. With all the gas prices going up as they are it is nice to have another option.

be sure to inspect the carton and take pictures before and during opening the carton. I noted a small tear / hole in the box and also a handle hole....or what I thought was a handle for moving the box. strange was there was only one. Well, as it turns out there's a scrape on the back of the unit which tore some of the power and registration info sticker and the plastic shroud is disconnected where something had gone through the carton then into the side of the generator. In construction I've seen this type of damage and this was caused by a fork lift, the fork of the lift punctured the carton. maybe someone will reach out and agree to replace this this unit with an undamaged one. we'll see. I'm happy with my purcase just difficult to be proud of damaged goods. Thanks

Incredible craftsmanship. Started immediately out of the box. Very intuitive and easy to use. It is incredibly quiet! The dual fuel feature is quite nice, especially when a hurricane may render gas stations useless... plus propane in a tank can be stored much longer than gas in a can. Highly recommend!
