Quiet
on April 12, 2021

Purchased after much research. Decided on the igen4500DF to have the option of propane or gas. It was quieter then expected, and believe me I did a lot of research. Purchased to use with a ATC Toy Hauler. This will be more then enough to power as needed. I initially started the inverter on propane. Ran pretty rough on propane and would not maintain steady RPM. I went through the trouble shooting as instructed in the manual. Said the issue could be cause by gas left in the carb. (I'm guessing from testing at the factory.) Decided to run it on gas, and it ran incredibly smooth with steady RPM. After break in, (running for an hour with no load) and changing the oil, I decided to try the propane. While it was running on gas, I switched to propane and had no issues. Ran smoothly with steady RPM. My recommendation, break it in on gas.
On side note about the break-in, I would certainly change the oil after the first hour. I have never been one to think that there was a need to, but I did see minute metal flecks in the oil after the first hour, as would be normal on any new engine.
Overall, seems like a good product. Looking forward to getting out and using it on the hauler.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this generator a couple weeks ago. I like the design of it and the easiness to operate with the electric start. It runs quiet and the dual fuel option is a bonus. Seems to be user friendly.

Amazing Generator - Quiet, Dual Fuel and Light!!!

After reviewing quite a few Generators (Champion, Predator, Honda, etc...) I singled out this one as my number one pick of them all. This was the quietest, lightest weight and had the Dual Fuel option too for a great price. Also produced the electricity needed for the home and RV to run everything. I'll mainly use this to camp in my RV off grid and power it off my onboard RV propane tanks. Had to wait a little before ordering because it was out of stock with the Covid situation, but totally worth the wait now that I have it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Amazing Generator But flawed
on April 11, 2021

from Fort Lauderdale
Bought a pair of these to run in parallel, the features seemed amazing and it was exactly what I was looking for to power my RV. But one of the pair of generators kept overloading right out of the box while the other operated perfectly. I managed to isolate the issue to the motor of one of the pair and am now in the process of making a warranty cliam. Very disappointed to have to deal with this while my family is trying to enjoy camping. Now we are delayed while Westinghouse deals with this, lord only knows how long that will take.
