Best Bang for the Buck!

We live in an area where our power lines are located in the back of our yard. As you can imagine, we deal a lot with falling trees in the neighborhood. Our main focus was to have a back up for both our refrigerators in case an extended power outage should happen again. Thankfully, we have not have had to use in a real like situation. However, I have done a few test runs with gasoline to make sure it at least works in case of an emergency. It was able to keep the refrigerators going. It looks like we have plenty of wattage to handle other appliances if we needed to. My wife likes the idea of the invertor feature, as well as using the propane option. I will be sure to check back in once we get to see this generator put to the test.

Well worth money. Does the job and then some. This will be great for camping, tailgating and a home back up.

I bought this month and glad I did as our 14 yr old generator finally died. This one seems to be very quiet which is a plus

Compared to other similar generators this generator was very easy to get unboxed and running thanks to user friendly access panels and instruction stickers.

Very quiet

Very quiet, it ran my rv all night with the ac on! The remote start is very handy. Only thing is you can't see the fuel level unless it's running, but not a big deal.

We bought this because of the lovely power outages we experience in California. This product is amazing. There’s a pull out handle that makes it super easy to move around. Totally recommend!

Dual fuel is great

iGen4500DF purchased June 2021.
It's great being able to run on propane, I prefer carrying an extra propane tank rather than gasoline. As a side bonus, the exhaust smell on propane is much less unpleasant than when running on gasoline. Switching between gas and propane is seamless. As expected based on the power rating, no problems starting/running 13.5k BTU a/c.
I also own a Yamaha EF3000iSEB. The Westinghouse is about 50lbs lighter and is much easier to move with the pull-out handle. Both generators show the same noise spectrum within a couple of dB (simple phone app), but my ears say the Yamaha has a 'smoother' sound while the Westinghouse has more of an engine 'puttering' sound. Although I prefer the Yamaha noise, the propane capability and lighter weight of the Westinghouse is worth it to me.
HOWEVER, I did have the widespread problem where the automatic choke connector was not snapped into the control board. It's just bizzare how they can't get this under control after it's been going on for so long. Annoying but not hard to correct.
