Good generator, just an inch from greatness

Bought this during the big Puget Sound outage of November. It only ran for a day before power came back, but I'm glad to have bought it. I love that it can use propane, so I don't have to deal with gas storage and carburetor cleanup over time, and it's very compact and relatively quiet. It is quite heavy though, but the wheels and carry handle help. However, for 5 starts it would have to be perfect, and this has some missed opportunities. Adding oil in the beginning was an absolute pain, the oil cap is buried at the bottom, and the funnel provided is minuscule. A cheaper 2000watt generator from a diff brand had a much longer and easier funnel. How hard would be to put the oil cap and dipstick somewhere at the top? And I found the remote start/stop pretty pointless - what I really need, is a remote control to turn the eco mode on/off, for when I need to start some big honkin' motor, like a portable AC/heatpump or dehumidifier. These will overload the generator in eco mode. And you do want to have it in eco mode most of the times, it's thristy :) Otherwise highly recommended. I was eyeing this for a long time, wish I had bought it during some previous shorter outages, instead of half way through a 5 days one. If you are like me, and still on the fence whether to buy one or not, you now know what to do...

Awesome

Fast start up was easy to follow. A detailed manual comes with it, along with required bottle of oil and spout. Tools are also furnished when needed. It is quiet and started the second pull using gasoline. The duel fuel option is nice too. I believe it’s a good purchase.

Perfect size and dual fuel too

I just bought this generator and have only started it a couple of times. Once on gas and once on propane. I was amazed at how quiet it is. The build quality is great and I love that they supplied everything I needed to get it going. Kudos to Westinghouse.

Excellent Generator

Bought this generator for our camping trailer. Can not get over how quiet it is, let alone how strong it. With two teenager constantly wanting their phones charged and computers plugged, this machine handled it all, and is currently handling the heat wave going on here in Canada!

Super easy and quiet

Bought this 2 months ago to run my RV’s air conditioning while boondocking in the summer. Love that it’s duel fuel and has a remote to turn it on and off. Changed the oil after 50 hours use- make sure you have a 10mm wrench and elevate it or oil will get everywhere. Overall, great investment. Added a bike alarm to it and bike chain to deter theft.

Unboxing and initial setup went smoothly

I just received the iGen 4500w Dual Fuel generator and unboxed it. No damage, in perfect condition. Made in Vietnam. The written instructions are well done and up to expected grammar standards. All maintenance panels are easy to remove. Connecting the battery was a bit of a challenge for my man hands but eventually got that done. Based on the weight of the generator, I'm glad they provide a collapsible airport-luggage style handle, makes moving a breeze. Warranty registration can be done online. I bought this large home generator for peace of mind. I'll do the engine break-in and change the oil. Other than that, This will be a "Break Glass in Case of Emergency" item and I plan on only using propane for fuel. I think this will be an awesome generator.

IGen4500DF Westinghouse Inverter Generator

After an exhaustive search for a RV inverter generator I settled on the Westinghouse iGen45500DF. It is everything I had hoped for and more. it can easily handle the load for a 30amp RV. Its super easy to set up and use. It is dual fuel which is helpful for camping. It has 3 starting modes, but my wife loves the fact that she doesn't have to use the recoil start and can just use the remote or push-button electric start. It's light enough for one person to pick up with a little work, but super easy for two. when it comes to moving it around, t's easy to maneuver with a telescoping heavy-duty handle. Best of all is the noise level, for a portable generator, it purrs like a big kitten in idle and not ear popping when using a full load. Runs without having to yell at each other to hold a conversation. Plus, your neighbor's ears will be thankful to. Good job Westinghouse, big thumbs up.

iGen4500DF

Love this generator. Opened the box, followed easy “Quick Start Guide”. Connected propane and started quickly, connected to a load and ran for about one hour. Great machine. Can’t wait go hit the road with the camper and new generator to boon dock.

Excellent Features

I just finished the recommended 5 hour break in and love this generator so far. I sold my Honda EU2000i as it would not power my RV's AC unit. This generator is not much louder, has over twice the power, remote start, and dual fuel. Amazing that the are both the same price.

Just what I wanted.

I am getting older and wanted a smaller and quieter source of back up power than my 20 year generator which is now difficult to start and makes enough noise to wake up our entire block. For a replacement I wanted the following items. Enough wattage (this is plenty as a backup), portability/mobility (wheels make this simple/low profile), dual fuel flexibility, ease of starting, and not as loud as my outdated generator. This unit met all the criteria and was the perfect fit for my household. Starting it is a breeze and the low noise factor is great.
