Best Portable Generator ever owned.
on September 18, 2023
Posted by: Dennis 13
from Saint George, Utah
Awesome product: I have previously thought i would only use the propane mode, my preference. However, on a weeklong camping trip I forgot my backup propane tank and ran out of fuel. My brother-in-law had a spare tank of gasoline, I was saved. This generator is the best ever, I could rave on and on seriously. It is quiet, and more so than the Honda 2000 watt my brother-in-law was using. I was concerned about noise in the campground while using late into the evening so I would do a walkabout in the campground. Unbelievable that there was virtually no noise. My oldest son is now the proud owner of one of these generators, he loves his the same as myself.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this a couple of weeks ago. Very happy with this generator. Easy to use and powers up nicely. Exceptionally quiet and remote start is extra nice to have. Would buy again.

I hooked this unit up and ran my rv for 10 hrs with my ac running the entire time. It had no problem pulling the load . have not tried it on propane yet it almost used the 3.4 gallons of fuel in the gas tank.

Great unit for quietness

I purchased this unit because my grand children are in the local FFA and we have a trailer that holds six pegs and we need a lot of fans because it gets hot in Texas. The man next to me had a Honda 3500 and he was impressed with mine, because it was quieter than the Honda.

Response from westinghouse.comBy Zach, eCommerce, September 18, 2023
Hello, thank you for your purchase and your feedback, we are sorry to hear about your experience with our unit! Unfortunately, with carburetor fuel injected engines the carburetor can build a varnish and cause fuel issues like the one you are seeing! Please reach out to us at 1-855-944-3571 or support@wpowereq.com and we can assist you in getting your inverter running on gas! Thank you, Zach - Westinghouse

Solid generator but missing Instructions Manual
on September 17, 2023
Posted by: Oakland510
from Oakland, CA
The manual was missing from the box so I had to look up the online version which was inconvenient. I will request a paper copy from WH bec the online version may not be available during an outage. The manual also has a reference to a choke lever which appears non-existent for this model so that was very confusing. I need to clarify this that with WH support as well.

Shocked, It's So Quiet.
on September 17, 2023
Posted by: RV'ers: Dave and Laura
from Cameron Park, CA
The iGen 4500 DFc-dual fuel generator, compared to 2 other generators I own, is very quiet. The others are a high and loud, almost shrill sound. This one is low and I can easily hear a conversation if I'm only 7 feet away. I especially like the remote start/off. It's just a really nice feature. I will only be using Propane, which creates a lower output, but worth not having the gumming situation which occurs with gas. My wife liked the encased blue look of it, which she says looks nice. I think it helped me convince her of the purchase price. (wink)
