I did a lot of research before deciding to purchase the Westinghouse iGen4500DF. I also considered Honda and Yamaha branded generators, but the iGen4500DF offered the best value.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just unpacked it, connected the battery, filled with oil, hooked up a propane tank and it started right away with the key fob.
Solid, great packaging and works great (so far)
Feel prepared for next PG&E safety blackout or next winter outage.

Very Nice Unit

I'm new to generators, but felt compelled to buy one after Pacific Gas and Electric developed a policy of cutting power to prevent wildfires. This is for emergency use only, or for when the power is cut for an extended time.
I chose this unit because it has the power I need, and it is dual fuel. I don't have have any gasoline tools, and don't want to store gasoline to run a generator infrequently. So, I was very attracted to the propane option on this unit. Also, this is an inverter generator, supposed to be safer for modern electronics... so everything in the house.
I've tested this unit on everything in the house, from refrigerator to running our furnace. It does everything except power our 220 Volt appliances.
One item that does bother me, and again I'm new to this: the 30 Amp plug is a TT-30r, not the more common LS-30, seen on most of the other generators I looked at. I guess this generator is designed more for use on travel trailers than as household backup. Finding a cord with TT-30p on one end, and household-plug on the other seems impossible; I had to by an adapter. I wish that Westinghouse supplied this adapter, or an optional replacement plug for this generator.
I would recommend this to a friend!
