I wanted a backup generator that wasn't too big like an open frame model. But I also wanted an inverter model that was more powerful than most inverter models. Finally, it was important for me to get a dual fuel generator. The iGen 4500DF fits the bill perfectly.

Update from 2 Feb 2022. I purchased this gen on 1 Feb 2023 and I am in the process of breaking in the first 5 hours of run time. I am now at 4 hours and have been varying the load as stated in manual. My first review said that the Digital Data Center was not working properly. It still doesn't have the daily run time but it does keep track of the overall runtime. I am very satisfied with this generator. Even with my a/c and fireplace/heater running the generator is at 50% power.

Relatively compact, not too heavy to lift and easy to move, unbox and set up. Oil and funnel included. Fired it up on propane to test before coming storms. However it took 10 or 15 pulls to start, but that was first time and obviously cold.Noticeably quieter than others I've used, even less powerful ones. Stores neatly under a table. Happy purchaser, but I probably should have shelled out for the electric start.

I nearly purchased a competing inverter generator but chose this unit because it has: a) Much higher power output for the same cost; b) dual fuel -- VERY useful!; and c) Positive reviews including from my brother-in-law. I've only tested it so far (for about 30 minutes on about 2000 watt load) but it worked flawlessly on both fuel types. If it continues to function this way in the future, I will be a VERY pleased owner. (I wish I was as satisfied with the review webpage: its requirements for no ad blocking and no popups caused me lost time to figure out how to disable these security measures. Not cool...)

Bought this as an addition to an open frame Westinghouse generator that I have as well. We wanted something that was a little quieter to use during power outages and this fits the bill! Haven't had a chance to use it in an actual outage yet, but it seems to run fine, and I believe it will do everything that I need it to. Happy so far!

I'm early into my ownership, but so far so good. As I am using this for a back-up power source, the dual fuel capability was important as I wanted a fuel source (propane) that could be stored for extended periods and remain stable. You lose a little output with propane, but it is worth it to me. Additionally, though more expensive, an inverter generator is a must for me to protect various hard-wired equipments with sensitive electronics. Based on my early experience, I'm considering a second inverter to run in parallel. If you want an economical back-up option, this is a good one.

I recently received the generator as a gift to replace a conventional (non-inverter) generator. I set the generator up according to the directions and ran it using the propane feature. I tested all three starting methods (pull cord, electric start and remote) and found it ran great and is very quiet compared to my old one. I look forward to using it in the field.

I bought this generator because I wanted the option to run propane if needed. Delivery was easy and there was no real assembly required beside hooking up the battery and adding oil. Started right up with the button, remote, and pull cable. Runs pretty quiet too. Excited to use it more on camping trips.

Just purchased the Westinghouse igen4500DF and brought it in and set it up. It only took about 20 minutes and it was ready to go. The unit is well built and extremely quiet. I would highly recommend this unit for anyone looking for an inverter generator.

I was in the market for quite a while looking for a quality generator. After a few months' good works, I finally found and bought iGen4500DF, an inverter with less than 3% power distortion, 52 db quietness, dual fuel capability, and much more ... It's just exactly what I need.
