Bought this about a month ago. Works great. Quiet for the output. Seems to run slightly rich on propane without a good load. smaller loads with premium gas seems to be a good combo.

I haven't used it much but just tested it. So far it performs within reason, running a heat gun and a hair dryer. I'll give it a better overview when I get it out to the tiny house for a weekend. It should run the air conditioner and all lights.

It has everything I wanted in a generator

I bought this generator due to it being rich with features. It is quiet, it has ample power for my use, dual fuel capability, remote start, three-ways to easily start it, a display panel with stats, lightweight and a three year limited warranty.
I have owned one of the contractor generators in the past and they are so noisy you can't have a conversation anywhere within 25 or 30 yards of it. The Westinghouse iGen 4500 inverter generator is so quiet I can stand right next to it and converse without having to raise my voice. It is quieter than a car engine running.
I lose power, on average, a couple of times a week for two or more hours and a couple of winters ago I lost it for 4 days straight in freezing weather. It's not fun sitting around the house without even having a radio, much less a television or even charging a phone and only a flashlight for light. Now I can power some electronics and lights.
At times I am not available to crank up a generator but with the iGen, my wife can flip the ON switch and remote start the generator without a problem. It even has an automatic choke built into the unit. It starts on the first try every time I have used it.
Dual fuel was a big plus for me. Instead of having limited capability and having multiple gas cans sitting around, I can use my 250 gallon propane tank that is located just a few yards from my install location. Propane is also a much cleaner burning fuel and therefore it will not gum-up the carburetor like gasoline.
I like being able to monitor my power usage and the led display panel shows power output, voltage and running time. For those that use gasoline, there are additional readouts that shows your fuel level in addition to remaining run time.
The warranty being three years is probably as good as it gets.
I spent a lot of time trying to find a generator that had all the features that I wanted. I could not ask for a better generator and I am extremely happy with my purchase.

Just bought it yesterday. Looks freaking awesome, I did a lot of research prior to buying this. I’m about to live in a 5th wheel full time and wanted something light, quite, and duel fuel. Really wish I could have gotten a 50 amp but too heavy and expensive. This will be able to run anything in the 5th wheel at anytime just not everything at once obviously. Really only going to use it for emergencies. Can’t wait to try it out!!!

Well designed machine.

from Klossner, Minnesota
I brought this unit home today. The instructions were well written and easy to understand. I was surprised that the recommended gasoline was 87 octane with 10% ethanol. After hooking up the battery, adding oil and fuel, I pushed the start switch and the unit took right off. Very quiet. When I added the included .6 liter container of oil to the .6 liter capacity crankcase of the unit on my level shop floor and added the plug, I had oil running out on the floor. One of the capacities must be wrong. In order to see the serial number I had to lay with my head on the floor with a flashlight. Why put it on the bottom?
