Runs great

I use generators all day 4-5 days per week to power my mobile grooming trailer and recently made the switch to these and I’m overall impressed so far. My one and only complaint so far is that you have to turn the battery switch off at the end of every day or it drains the battery and you can’t start the generator. This is the only brand I’ve ever had to do this so obviously it’s taking me a little while to get used to remembering that it’s switched off every day, but other than that it has been great so far.

So far so good!

Have only used it on propane and only for break in purposes. Started on the second try using the auto electric start. Runs beautifully. Have not fully tested under load but did plug a few things in to make sure outlets were working. Have not tested the 30Amp output yet but plan to soon with a travel trailer/AC. Remote start also works perfectly. Runs very quiet with small loads, will see how it does under higher load soon. The main users manual said to pour the entire bottle of included oil in before the first start. It was very clear...THE ENTIRE BOTTLE. I would advise against doing that as it is more oil that the generator has capacity for. I would suggest adding slowly and periodically reinstalling the plug to check the level. It wasn't until after filling that I discovered better instructions in the Quick Start guide which say to add slowly until full. I should have reviewed both sets of instructions before proceeding. They really should change the main users manual to agree with the Quick Start guide. It didn't hurt anything, just made a bit of a mess on the garage floor after removing the included funnel.

Well built and great value.

Just picked up our brand new generator for home emergency use and camping. Dual fuel, cant beat that option. Unit appears well built. Manual and instructions are well prepared and put together (from my engineering perspective) Will get the unit a test run this coming weekend. Will share updated review notes and fine tune rating.

Great Value for the Money

The generator was easy to set up, just read and follow the directions. I use lp gas and the start up was great. Runs everything I wanted to power and I just have no complaints. It’s a great product and it seems well built. It was easy to lift into the back of my pickup and the wheels are a bonus. Be sure to check the oil and fill to the fill line, not the whole quart provided.

Glad to have dual fuel capability

After our neighborhood suffered a snow/icestorm last month & lost power for nearly 3 days, we had to move to a hotel to keep our elderly 89 year old grandfather & 4 year old kid warm. We are so glad this is now ready for our next outage. I especially like the propane feature, so we don't have to burn gasoline & hopefully require less maintenance.

Impressive generator!

I can compare this generator to my existing Honda as well as my past Generac and Coleman generators. I am very impressed with all aspects - the build quality, the instructions, the included start-up kit, and the operation. I put in oil and fuel, and it started immediately with very little running noise. The handle design to move it around is also well done. Now planning to buy a second one.

incomple specs

Product shopped without battery. Lots of confusion why and what jas to be done. Manual makes no reference to battery ( model no etc) however the product clearly has a cover and space for that. One wonders if you can start the unit as shipped or missing parts must ne purchased separately.

reply from eComm

Hello, you purchased the iGen5000DFcv or iGen4500DFcv which do not come with batteries. Our upgraded models iGen5000DFc and iGen4500DFc do come with them but are more expensive. If there is anything we can do to help please let us know at 1-855-944-3571 or support@wpowereq.com. Thank you, Westinghouse

Very happy with the dual fuel

I needed a generator that would support our new travel trailer and found the iGen4500DF at a competitive price with positive reviews. The generator was well packed and arrived quickly without any damage or signs of shipping stress. The setup was very straight forward and happened without any issues. I connected it to a propane tank and it started up right away. I ran the generator for a few hours as part of the 5 hour break in period and was very pleased with the performance and low noise levels. I could easily have a conversation with someone while standing next to the generator while it was running. So far my experience has been perfect from purchase through setup.

Economical Generator for Multiple Features Offered

Westinghouse provided excellent documentation (i.e. Operator’s Manual, Suggested Maintenance Schedule, Troubleshooting Guide, Detailed Parts Lists, Electrical Schematic) for their iGen4500DF Inverter Generator. Mine started just fine using the remote key fob and LP Gas as its fuel source.

Fantastic Machine

I was hesitant to purchase a lesser name in generators, but through the testing and performance, its hands down the best generator investment I have made. Dual Fuel, Remote Start, Inverter, Quieter than Hondas, RV ready. I could not ask for a better investment for an energy backup.
