Well Engineered

I have been looking for over 6 months for a Generator with the features that I needed for my recreational use. I found it with this Generator. Once I received it, I was surprised by the extra little things that came with it. For one a tool kit for the Generator. How often do you get that anymore. It also came with a bottle of Oil and a funnel. The unique thing about the funnel is that it screws into the oil fill, so I had no mess when I added the oil. This unit also has a remote start which is hard to find in a duel fuel model. I followed the quick start instructions and within minutes had it running on Gasoline and then on Propane. Ran as expected and was very quite. Great Job Westinghouse. Will be telling my friends what to get.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The df feature with remote start stop was the deciding factor. Machine easy to setup and startup up without issue. Looking forward to taking it out soon.

Solid Generator

I recently purchased the iGen4500DF generator as a backup power source in the event of a power outage. The generator arrived with no damage but the battery was loose. The dual fuel feature was a requirement since I plan on mostly on LP. I wish Westinghouse sold a Natural Gas conversion for this generator.
After adding oil, the generator started on the first try using LP. The Quick Start Guide does not mention the break-in period so you should read the User Manual. Also, after the break-in period, some other manufactures recommend changing the oil. There is no mention of changing the oil after the break-in period on the iGen4500DF.
Under 50% load, the generator was very quiet. If this generator had a natural gas option I would have rated it Excellent. I would recommend this generators to others.

Just got this unit.Set up was straight forward. Runs quiet. Looks to serve us well. Seems a solid built easy to operate unit. The only issue is that the fob is not functional. I'm sure that will be an easy fix.

Just bought this and did the 5 hour break in. I used a heat gun to fluctuate the power as instructed for break in process. I changed the oil after break in. I found some small metal flakes in the used oil. Not sure if this is normal or not. It seemed to operate properly

Fired up right out of the box. Little bigger than I was expecting. Remote will be great on those cold mornings out at elk camp. Eager to see how it performs.

Dual fuel!

Purchased because quieter than open versions and because of the versatility of dual fuel and ability to run in parallel. Easy to move with integrated handle.
