Quiet and Full Featured Power
on November 2, 2020
Posted by: Blueliner

I bought the Westinghouse iGen4500DF for camping and portable power when needed. The box bottom had broken open on delivery but the generator was undamaged. The instructions are easy to understand and the controls are easy to use.
The fit and finish is high quality, although I did have two minor issues. The tabs that hold the rubber splash guard around the fuel filler cap were not clicked into place (easy fix as I just pushed them in). Also, the propane hose connector is slightly off center, making it a little difficult to connect the propane hose because the hose fitting binds against the grommet. This is very minor and in no way detracts from the value or usefulness of the generator.
After connecting the battery, filling with oil and connecting the propane; the generator started right up! Idle was rough for a little while but then smoothed out. We've only ran the generator for a couple hours but it looks like a winner! It is quiet and everything works great. I especially like the remote start. The generator had no trouble running a small air compressor, router and miter saw at the same time. I've not ran it on gasoline yet but I don't see why it wouldn't run just as well as it does on propane.
I am very satisfied with the iGen4500DF and would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, full featured generator in its size range.

Great Generator

I have been waiting to purchase this generator for 6 month because everyone was out of stock. I thought about buying other dual fuel generators that were in stock but I’m glad I didn’t. This generator was worth the wait with it’s great power rating and features like remote start. I just took it out of the box hooked up the battery add gas and oil and it started on the first press of the button. Hooked up my propane flipped the switch and it was running on propane. What a great little generator perfect for powering my trailer.

Quiet, Exactly what I was hoping for

Ordered the Westinghouse inverter online because it was not in stores, and I was pleasantly surprised that it was at my door in a few days. Put in the oil provided, some fuel, and charged the battery for a few hours. When I tried to start it it took 3 attempts, but once the fuel got through the lines it purred like a kitten. Now I am just waiting for an electrician to install a transfer switch and I will use it as a back up power supply for my house (limited to necessity- sump and freezers mainly) as well as to power my RV when I am out away from campsites. Over all I feel like this was a good value for me, the remote start was the biggest selling feature for me as I don't want to have to go outside to turn it off late at night if I ever need to use it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect for RV travel trailer.

Our travel trailer included a solar package with inverter, but there are times that the solar can't keep up with demand (and it won't run the A/C). So we purchased the iGen4500DF since we want to run on propane, it's one of the quietest generators available, and it has enough power to run the A/C when needed. Perfect traveling companion!
