Very quiet! Desktop computers will need UPS

4.5 Stars. This extremely quiet. My car engine is louder than this thing when idling. Running off of propane makes for an extremely clean burn. Even though the generator can use gasoline, I have no intention of using it with anything other than propane. The only issue I found was with the generator in **Economy Mode** when running at under 700 watts: Occasionally the power would drop out for about 1/10th a second every 10-20 minutes or so, which can, but not always, cause desktop computers to reboot that aren't on a UPS unit (laptops won't need this). Even though the inverter should supply clean power, is is still a very good idea have your electronics on a surge suppressor/UPS when on a generator. The youngster in the house failed to follow instructions and put his computer on the UPS for the generator and transfer switch test, which is how this was discovered. Generator was run at ~1100Ft elevation, so there was no need for an elevation kit.

Great Generator

I am thrilled to share my positive experience with the Westinghouse iGen4500DF Dual Fuel Generator. As someone who values reliability, performance, and versatility, this generator has truly exceeded my expectations on all fronts. From the moment I unpacked the iGen4500DF, its build quality and attention to detail were evident. The sturdy construction and thoughtful design elements instilled confidence that this generator was designed to last. But it's the performance that truly sets this generator apart. The dual fuel capability is an absolute game-changer. Being able to switch between gasoline and propane as fuel sources offers incredible flexibility. Whether dealing with a power outage, camping trip, or any situation where electricity is needed, having this choice ensures peace of mind. The transition between fuels is seamless, and the generator runs smoothly on both options.

Review for iGen4500DF

The generator came after a backlog of about 2 months. Setup was easy and it fired right up after putting gas into it. it is every bit as quite as the comparable competitor units for twice the money. push button start and keyfob remote are a nice touch.

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.

Peace of mind

I bought this generator because we were out of power for 4 days in 2020 in freezing weather and I never want to do that again. The instructions and set up for this machine were super easy to understand and very user friendly even for someone who has never used a generator before. The design is amazing and very user friendly as well. I love that it is dual fuel and can use gasoline or propane. It will easily power the start up for my gas furnace and other necessary electronics in my house if we are ever without power for several days again. The price is very reasonable and well worth the peace of mind this machine provides.

Propane is a game changer

We bought this for our 30 foot RV and wanted the wattage to run AC and microwave at the same time in the few instances. Not having to carry around gas and just using the standard RV propane tanks and we bought a normal grill propane tank too for mobility bits so nice not worrying about gas spilling any where.

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.

Features I wanted

After connecting the battery and adding oil, I connected it up to a small propane tank. Using the remote start, it cranked a couple of times and fired up nicely. Adding the oil was messy as it is easy to overflow. Allthough it is a well written and substantial user manual, it wasn't obvious a 5 hour 50% load break-in was needed. Just a lot to read in the user guide.

Nice generator

Generator is quiet and makes electricity like it should. I like the ability to run on propane. Things I would improve. 1. A larger access door to oil side. Door is small making it difficult to access to check oil level. I accidentally added too much oil, instructions warned that there may be some oil. I was slowly removing the oil drain and came to the conclusion that I may not be able to get the drain plug back in quickly because of the tight space so changed my tactic and opted to pull oil back out the fill hole with a fluid extractor. Thinking the extractor may be a cleaner way to change the oil. 2. It would be helpful if there were bolt down tabs to secure the generator to a tray on the back of an RV. Looking forward to using this generator

This generator is amazing!

I bought this generator before going on a boondocking trip and am glad I did. This generator has made my trip so easy and comfortable. It powers everything in my camper and is not loud at all. The dual fuel is an awesome feature. I highly recommend the Westinghouse quality.
