- 5 out of 5 stars review11/24/2021I just purchased so not a lot of time on it. But the generator is solid, well built, easy to use. Instruction book is very easy to follow. Love the little extras like the pull out handle. The remote is the best part. No going out in the cold to turn off. Looking forward to years of use.
Solid product
Randy58Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review12/29/2023Great product. No remote start, but smooth easy starting pull. Nice tool kit especially threaded oil filler tube. Filled with minimal mess. Nice access panels. Very quiet compared to standard gen. 80dB right in front at controls at 50% load. Eco mode awesome. Idle speed at no load and RPM only increases based on load. Handled 2K watt microwave only 50% load using 30amp plug with 30amp to 20amp adapter from Harbor Freight. Nice LED display of power, volts, and run time. Propane easy to use. No mess, fuel additives or storage problems. Can use gas, but I plan to keep using propane.

Brian&MichelleOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review6/21/2024The compactness of this unit is well designed. The handle and wheels make it easy to move around. The Owner's Manual is written in clear fashion that allows for easy set up and start up. This unit starts and runs perfectly with half the sound of comparable generators.
Compact, easy to set up! iGen5000DFc
GuccidogOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 4 out of 5 stars review11/17/2022I purchased this unit in September of 2022 and overall the unit is very reliable and well designed. The one feature I would rate poor is related to changing oil. There is virtually no room to work in the access compartment and spillage of oil is guaranteed. Very poor design and I'm amazed that Westinghouse permitted this. I contacted Westinghouse regarding this problem and the person I talked with said she would “let someone know”.
Very Good Generator
hellmwcOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 4 out of 5 stars review3/8/2022The generator just arrived in perfect condition out of the box. I intend to use it for a weekend trip in a couple of weeks. I have an open frame generator which is really loud and not an inverter generator. This generator will be significantly quieter and provide cleaner power to my trailer. I also like the remote start feature so I can turn it on from inside the trailer if I need a quick boost of power in the morning.
Freedom to camp anywhere!
SoCalAllenOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review9/24/2021This is everything my research told me it would be. The iGen is quiet even under a full load, the remote is so nice, and the dual fuel gives me options. I love it. Westinghouse has thought of it all, and provided everything you need out of the box. The only thing missing are proper break in instructions; probably because it requires multiple oil changes in those first hours of use. But when I did those oil changes, I knew I was doing the right thing to keep this great inverter running great for years to come. The iGen4500DF is truly the top level Inverter Generator on the market, and with the price, it is a modern marvel. Thank you Westinghouse!
Modern Marvel
Matthew24Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review7/8/2021The iGen4500DF is easy to operate. I really enjoy the FOB for instant startup. The LED Data Center keeps me informed about the generator's running time and fuel levels as well as the power level. I like the generators light weight and pull handle allowing me to take the generator almost anywhere with ease. With less than 3% THD I can run my laptop and television too. I favor the duel fuel option, in case I use up my LP fuel, I've always got gasoline available to keep the generator powering up my lights and refrigeration. The generator is hooked up to my transfer switch and it's so easy to power up the house during a power outage, which already happened..
Very easy to operate.
mike's igenOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review1/1/2024I Purchased an igen4500 not duel fuel approx 2 years ago and it has performed flawlessly. When I needed a second high output generator. I started looking for anther igen 4500. This inverter generator has performed better than I had hoped for the remote start allows me to start without going outside make my coffee and shut down. Extremely quiet, does not annoy neighbors, runs forever n a tank of fuel.
great product have a igen4500 not duel fuel
KD 2552Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review3/2/2021Product arrived damage free. Quick start instructions were clear and easy to follow. Set the device up on propane and had it up and running in a short time. I can't believe how quiet this generator is, you can stand beside and talk … at normal levels …. Amazing. Lots of info available via the Digital display concerning, fuel levels, operating info and output info as well. We had actually made this decision on this generator last year but they were out of stock, so we decided to wait.....So Glad we Did. Absolutely a Great purchase. Always true with Westinghouse products.
Just what we needed
Arthur96Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review9/19/2019Opened the box, reviewed the Start-up procedures, started it up and ran straight away! I researched for this product for a while. I love that it is dual fuel. I use mainly LP when traveling in our trailer. I hate to carry gasoline inside the tow vehicle with kids. Can't wait to take it on the road next month!
Well Built!
Doc1219Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review3/2/2024I bought this for a home backup. I just went through the start up and used it for the first time. It's very easy to set up and use. Everything was easy except putting the oil in. Read the instructions and go slow! I feel really good having this generator for power outages.
Great Product
Steve K 19Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review8/5/2021Product arrived intact with all needed accessories to hook up to LP or gas. I am very pleased with the remote start, the dual fuel and the fact that I can switch from gas to LP or vice versa while the engine is running. This is my second Westinghouse generator, I just needed a larger one with these new added features. The older one is still running just fine and it's a 2012 model I am a happy camper.
Great features, it came just as described.
Nurse CamperOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review7/2/2024No damage to the Generator from shipping and it came with all pieces and necessary oil (you must add oil and hook up battery before starting). Instructions included were clear. Took about 4 pulls to start after adding gas. After running for a bit i shut off and used the electric start without issue. The generator is smaller than i expected and quiet for the wattage in my opinion. Not done with breaking in but no issues so far. Had it running a big 20in fan, a high powered work light, an air compressor for tools constantly running and a garage refridgerator constantly running (had door open) in 90deg heat, and the gen was showing 50-75% on the power meter. Will try running it on propane at some point but so far, It's just what I wanted an...
IGen5000DFc - great so far!
Neil123Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review3/16/2021I bought this generator to replace 2 smaller generators that had been stolen. I waited a long time due to being out of stock for months, as soon as it became available I put the trigger and haven't regretted it since. It so nice to wake up in the morning and push a button to start the generator.
Love the remote control
DboitOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review11/4/2019After 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.
Features I wanted
Ward LOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review11/7/2021First time generator owner. The instructions were great and it started right up. I love that it has wheels and remote start. Also very excited for dual fuel, we plan to use this a lot next summer with our Wolf Pup 16TS but can also use it to power some items at our house if we needed to.
Comes with everything you need!
JnyrthOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 4 out of 5 stars review9/11/2022I just got my iGen4500DF and was easy to unpackage and initial starting was very easy, add oil, connect battery, hook up propane and press button on key fobe! Started right up and was slightly louder than I expected but will be in my truck bed under canopy with ventilation. Seems well built as I expected:)
Seems well built
jjwest64Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review9/23/2021Once I decided that I had a need for a generator; I started researching, and I do this in depth. I knew that I wanted an inverter with the highest wattage and lowest THD that I could get. After watching the Westinghouse engine assembly video and QC inspection, coupled with all the features that I wanted, I knew that this generator is what I needed. The dual fuel option is an excellent addition. The portability with the lift handles and towing handle is a great asset. My wife likes the electric start and operational simplicity. Plus the generator is quiet and visually appealing.
Quality Manufactured Unit
DFB1Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review11/8/2021I bought the 4500DF and it's quiet and power full runs 8hours a day. I use gas but use propane for back up so I don't run out of fuel. We liked it so much we bought another for the house. Much more bang for you buck than a Honda and it's just a quiet reliable as one.
Quiet power full
DogHouseOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review8/21/2021We researched for months and came to the conclusion this was the generator we were looking for. We wanted the duel fuel option because it's much easier and safer to transport propane than gas. There was a Westinghouse competitor duel fuel option but the noise decibels were much higher. The extendable handle and wheels are a game changer for transporting around the campsite. Speaking of game changer...REMOTE START!!!! OMG we can start and stop this puppy from inside the RV. WHAT?!?!?! The only area of opportunity is the outer shell is easily scratched. Maybe a harder outer shell could be developed? Superficial but merits mention.
The perfect RV generator
