- 5 out of 5 stars review7/10/2021Easy to get started...ready to go in less time than it took to get the propane tank filled. I haven't used it long-term as of yet; just a test run with an ac unit plugged in and the generator did well. The telescoping handle is wonderful for transport and the electric start is overkill, but nice if you're mounting the unit in a place the pull start maybe had to get to. My mind is at ease from fear of power outages this summer and the next Texas freeze.
Ready for ERCOT outage
thenameisDaltonOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 4 out of 5 stars review2/10/2022Bought last year while hooking up the battery I noticed loose wire. Removed side cover and found choke wire had came loose more than likely during shipping. In Feb of 22Lost power during ice storm, started right up on propane. Kept the blower running on our fireplace to heat the house. We had no frozen pipes. Would have given five stars but had the loose wire.

Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review11/29/2019We bought this a month ago not expecting to need it for a while, but a early storm of surprising intensity took the power out for 3 days. I had already done preparations for a full operational test, but now it was Show Time for real! This unit started immediately and performed flawlessly in all aspects. The neighbors on either side didn't even know it was running it was so quiet. I get a real kick out of the remote keyfob start feature. Very glad to have purchased this!
Very Good Design
cmbtsmthOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 4 out of 5 stars review4/9/2020This is my first generator purchase and have been very pleased with it so far. I researched for several weeks plus consulted with friends who are electricians to help me determine the features I needed. The primary motivation for purchasing a generator was as a backup in the event of a power outage but also something portable to use while camping. I really like the dual fuel feature, easy start options and the quietness. Very good price for the features and power!
Great power at great price!
Vsanchez49Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review8/12/2021After much research we purchased this unit in case of any emergencies in our 50amp 5th Wheel RV. Picked it up late on Monday. Set it and then loaded it in the truck. Left for a camping trip early Wednesday. This is our 6th season camping and wouldn't you know our 1st trip losing power. We remain cool and comfortable. It will go on every trip we take from now on.

Hal2001Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review1/10/2022I love that this generator also runs on propane. It allows me to power everything off my RV - my rig, my camp chef, my fire pit, and now my generator. No carrying around extra fuel tanks. It runs great and is relatively quiet, especially for the size and power it produces.
Love the Dual Fuel Option
MankoOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 4 out of 5 stars review4/4/2024The generator works fine at high elevation. The manual is questionable because of major mistakes. Such manual should be reviewed by a professional and corrected as necessary. We give only 4 stars because the battery was tumbling around in the compartment as a result of a defective battery holding strap.
Great generator at a decent price
HE9FXCOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review7/14/2024This is an amazing generator. It works great, it's has so many options too! The duel fuel is so handy when the whole town is out of power and you can't get gas. I would recommend it to anyone looking to purchase a generator! Would buy again and again!
Awesome generator
Justin LumOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 4 out of 5 stars review6/8/2020Second Westinghouse piece of power equipment that I've purchased. Their customer service has been extremely responsive and the quality of equipment for the price is very good. I feel the unit is a little louder than comparable RV generators, but not by much.
So far, so good
kintrikOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review9/23/2020I bought this for emergencies and RVing. Runs much longer onl ess fuel than my Onan 5000 and almostth e same power. pure sine wave is a bonus an the noise level sounds the same as the Champion inverter generator, and is much quieter than the ONAN. this ise ven quieterth an the onan 2500 installed in my Camper. Looking forward to years of service.
fills my needs
IBPackin247Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review6/1/2021Researched many inverter generators. For this class of generators it has every feature you would need. Runs very quiet. Dual fuel feature is so convenient. Remote start great convenience. Generators are relatively heavy. Wheels and handle make this so easy to move around. You can not go wrong with this generator.
Excellent Product packed with features
PMRJPOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review2/24/2024Shipment was great and the item is definitely heavy but to be expected. However with the large no flat wheels and handle it makes it super easy to move around. We haven't hooked it up to the house yet, but packaging and all included accessories were top notch and direction and very easy to follow.
Large and in Charge!
Husker123Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review3/20/2022Received this as “open box” item. Oil was missing, but other than that everything was in great shape. Added oil (slowly), hooked up the battery, connected the propane, pressed the button, and bingo! Away she goes! Quiet as promised, a little larger (and heavier) than I thought it would be, but looks like it's gonna be a nice add to our trailer camping adventures.
Simple startup. Worked like a charm
Happycamper4005Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 4 out of 5 stars review11/18/2021I just purchased this and tested it out as soon as it arrived. The instructions were helpful since I have never owned a generator before. The features are great: 3 outlets, USB ports, really loved the digital display, and the key fob for remote on/off is handy. Will be using it for our pop-up camper. Only downside we see right now are the tools that came with it. The screwdriver already broke. I would recommend having your own tools with you and not rely on the ones that came with the generator.

rick82Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 3 out of 5 stars review7/25/2020Duel fuel runs great every time, second time on gas in first month runs very rough and will not smooth out. Contacted Westinghouse and they said take to a service center. Yea no one will service dual in 70 mile radius. Thanks for the help. Now what..? JUST RUN ON PROPANE????? .
Generator running rough second time on gas
Not sureOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review3/29/2021Just arrived today, added oil per instructions, connected battery and LP then started within seconds of pressing the start button. The remote worked flawlessly. Thank you Westinghouse. BTW I've ordered a 2nd one. I hope it arrives in the same condition.
Arrived fast, in good condition and on time.
JimmyDP63Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review11/8/2020The Westinghouse iGen4500 is an excellent inverter generator with about twice the power of most inverter models. It is exceptionally quiet, very portable and very user-friendly making this a smart choice for when you need more power but don't want to give up on silence and portability. Monitoring of the iGen4500DF's status and activity is made possible by a digital data center, which provides information on the remaining run time, power output, fuel level, lifetime run hours and voltage and is one of the main features that will help with monitoring operation and maintenance scheduling. The dual fuel feature allows for real life options in an emergency or planned usage for portable power. My usage will be as a homeowner in need of emergen...

Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 4 out of 5 stars review2/5/2021Been running this for close to a day. Seems to have a lot of power for the size. LOVE LOVE LOVE the remote start! Works like a charm. The only complaint I have is the location of the drain plug for the oil changes. There is a large wire in front of it that is a pain.
So far excellent
Jimbo 1967Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 4 out of 5 stars review8/25/2024Glad I bought, nice and quiet. Puts out plenty power for my mobile fishing wagon - AC, water heater, microwave, coffee pot...etc. never needed to worry about what was on - handles with ease. Only thing I don't like is the motor surges/pulses up and down when there isn't much of a load on it. Not a huge deal just annoying that it isn't a steady / smooth running without a load. Have 65 hours on it.
Been working great
RSKIOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review8/23/2021Super easy to set up and started right up without any issues. very easy to move around. Shocked at how quiet the generator is under power. We will be using this for our RV while traveling. we can pull into the rest area and run our air conditioning and refrigerator while resting. Super quiet and works perfect.
Light and very Quiet
