Reliable each time for me

I have had this a couple of years. Other than letting it sit too long instead of firing it up every month, this has worked great. Last night, with friend in need after no power all day, I pulled it out. Battery was low so didn't crank on the first two starts, but one pull on the crank and it fired right up. Ran all night and just refilled an hour ago. Keeping two freezers and a fridge running and my friend is VERY happy. I bought this for my RV and have run it with AC going at times just to exercise it. Never a problem.

Great little generator

Purchased this unit a few days ago during a power outage. After setting it up per the instructions, it started on the first attempt and ran for several hours until power was restored. Very easy to use. Reasonably quiet. One note - set up instructions for adding engine oil are confusing. One instruction says to add the entire bottle of oil; another instruction says to add oil only until the oil reaches the bottom of the filler opening. The latter instructions are correct; I had excess oil running out of the filler opening. Not a problem though since I used paper towels to catch and absorb it.

iGen4500DF

I just got this generator, after looking and researching for months. I wanted something big enough to run AC, Vent Fan, Microwave, lights, and TV in my fifth wheel. I went with the dual fuel in case I run out of gas, I will have propane to run it till I get to a gas station. I love the remote start, a must on my check list. I have broke the generator in already and have tested the AC, vent fan, and microwave, internet router, lights, and TV and it only hit 75% load. I am very happy with the unit.

Great quality and easy setup

Found the unit to look like very good quality. It was very easy to set up and started on the first try with the remote on propane. I purchased this because of the dual fuel capability and the remote start. Just breaking it in right now, but will be using it with my rv.

Great Generator!

I ordered this after trying another brand and Westinghouse came through in a pinch. This generator is dual fuel and I want to only use propane so I tried that setup first. It started on the first try. We had a power outage the next weekend and it worked great.

IGen4500DF Runs all I need

Still just breaking it in but so far on first day all went without a hitch. I am currently running my big garage on a circuits without an issue. This includes my standup freezer. Have not tried to run my welder yet as well. Way better and quieter than my old Biggs and Stratton 4500! Love that remote start too! Gonna use this baby on our travel trailer.this summer.

Another great Westinghouse product!

After trying for months to find a retailer that had this unit available, we finally found it & I am glad we did! Extremely handy unit…. Easy to use and great features! I love the gas or propane options as well ( that was the major reason I wanted this specific unit!) it's quiet and just gives me peace of mind knowing I have it to rely on! Westinghouse is a trusted name and the warranty is one of the best too!

Awesome!

This is our 1st generator and I couldn't be happier with my purchase so far. Super easy to setup (I'm using Propane) and starting the unit couldn't be any easier than pushing a button! Much quieter than I expected which is another plus. Plan on building it a small generator shed and hooking it up to a 6 circuit transfer panel in the garage in case the next ice storm causes us issues. Now I may never loose power again not that I finally have a generator but that's perfectly ok with me.

Has it all

I am very happy with this generator. I selected the igen4500df because: 1 - Quiet Inverter Generator 2 - Higher Wattage for an Inverter Generator 3 - Remote Start 4 - Dual Fuel I waited a couple months for it to come in stock after deciding on this one. Seems Westinghouse had some production delays. I ended up ordering and getting one in mid-August 2019. I bought from Home Depot because I trust them if I get a melon to make it right. I got it set up in 10-15 minutes. I was able to lift out of the box by myself. I put the supplied oil in (note - if you use the full .6L bottle provided you will overfill the oil reservoir). I hooked it up to a 20lb propane tank, pushed the start button and it started right up. I ran it for 20 minutes or so and then shut it down. I tested the remote start/stop from close by and it works great. I ran for about 8-10 hours with low load and then changed the oil (I put in full synthetic). Then, I took it up to the cabin the following weekend to really test it. I ran it about 8 hours / day for 2 days and it worked flawlessly. I ran it on gas and it goes a LONG time on a little gas. The remote start/stop worked well. I turned it off at night and then started it in the morning and it fired right up...even leaving the battery switch on all night. It seems the remote start has a bit longer range than the stop, for some reason. I was 40-50 yards away and needed to walk outside to start it and walk a little close still to stop it. I really like the feature overall. My morning starts were mid 40s (F). I didn't have any issues with cool weather starts. I will be using it this winter and am interested to see if the auto-choke feature does its job. This thing is quiet! I previously had a 6500w champion. That thing has a lot of power but it is loud (not an inverter). The igen4500df ran all day 30 yards from our camp fire and we forgot it was there. I don't care about the fancy gadgets / power meter / usb chargers. We plug into the big 30amp outlet to power the cabin (well pump (110v), lights, toasters, AC, chargers, etc) and forget about it. When the well pump kicks on the lights dim as it spins up and then handles it fine. I'd buy again. I'll try to post again after winter with an update.

Finally...

I bought this just for emergencies. We don't need much, just the essentials so I figured this had enough wattage. I have a 30 year old fridge so I was worried about that but the generator running on propane handled it with no problem. I love the fact that it's dual fuel. I usually have a spare full propane tank on hand to swap out the grill and almost always have extra gas, so this gives me some flexibility. It is heavy but the retractable dolly handle and the lifting bars makes it fairly easy to handle.
