I really like the dual fuel generators. I have a Honda 200 and have to replace my two 5 gallons every six months. What a pain. I have researched Propane and it can last 10+ years in your garage. No mess.. I am always spilling my gasoline when dumping it in my car to go out and buy fresh every 6 months.

Go with on demand propane or natural gas hot water heater, stove and blue flame propane or natural gas heat. And you don't need 220 volts. Myself I prefer propane that way the government cannot shut off your natural gas in a state of emergency or disaster or whatever they say. You could take a normal generator and get the tri-fuel kit that runs Gasoline, propane or natural gas. That way if you have natural gas to your house and it gets shut off in a state of emergency, natural disaster, snow storm you can still switch over to propane, gasoline or natural gas and keep running. A tri-fuel add on kit to a generator does this.

Wow. This generator is the best of what I've researched so far. So many features in one package. In the end, the generators are as good as the maintenance you give them. I know that the Honda and Yamaha are the flagships and they could be considered the best in performance and durability, but now a days so many other brands do have the know how of this small inverter generators that you can buy almost any other brand and as long as you give them proper maintenance, they will last a long time. Bottom line, that's my opinion. Have a great one everybody!

I agree as well. As an owner of this same unit, it cost about half the price of buying two ~2000 watt Hondas or Yamahas with twinning kit and yet they don’t have as much “continuous power” and do. It have a remote start, let alone the ability to use propane as an optional fuel. I didn’t realize how good & unique of a product I chose almost two years ago now, yet love it so far. Oh, and as mentioned, maintenance is key 👍🏼. So I conduct more frequent oil changes than recommended (such a small cost for preventative measures) what, it will help it last much longer.

I just purchased one due to the new frequent California blackouts ($1000 at Amazon). It is very quiet so it won't bother the neighbors. I have run two refrigerators, a whole entertainment system, 1 fast computer and all networking equipment and it was only at 25% load. It has run for over 40 hours on a 30 Lb propane tank and it still has more gas in it. I wanted one that would be easy enough for my wife to start up in an outage when I'm not home. For now using a 30 amp 50' RV cord to a 2 - 20 amp 120v plug splitter. Next is to setup a generator shed and connect it to the house with a switch panel. I plan on only using propane since it will not go bad over time like gas will.

Nice unit and review. I have a 9575 watt duel fuel Champion. It's never seen a drop of gas. That will be the backup since propane has an indefinite shelf life and will be my main source of fuel.....of course, as you mentioned, propane doesn't have the BTU content of gasoline.....Mine is rates @ 7500 watts with propane. But for $900 it is a great option for backup power.

@@jacksonvang3429 It will be definitely louder than a Honda eu2000i or a Honda eu3000i when they are idle. However, the iGen 4500 DF is definitely quieter than an open frame generator. The efficiency mode switch helps when it is unloaded, but once you get past a quarter to half load, the engine is going to be at 3600 RPM, so the switch doesn't matter at higher loads. If you are used to Champion or open frame construction generators, this is quieter. If you are used to the quiet purring of a Honda eu2200i, expet this to be relatively louder.

I also have 2 40lb propane tanks, safe and stores forever, if the natural gas goes out too. Lastly I have 2 40 liter jerry cans that I can fill if I get a warning that a power outage is possible/imminent, which I can put into a car after the event, if the fuel is not needed.

Auto-throttling depending on load? Ease of draining carburetor for long-term storage? Ease of adding, changing or draining the oil? Engine displacement? Long-term durability comparison with Honda? Accurate, dependable fuel gauge? Toolless access to the engine? VERY IMPORTANT: Availability of replacement parts?

If I don’t use it doesn’t have to run on the down time like most generators do. I’m getting more and more used to using electric devices with battery power. I like not having to buy gas, store gas, treat it, service engines, dealing with the exhaust or noise. I especially don’t like supporting Big Oil. I wouldn’t mind a more powerful battery for bigger jobs in emergency situations like for my water pump from my well. I suppose a dedicated gas generator wouldn’t hurt also to have.

Everything on paper seems that this is almost the perfect generator...but. I just returned one and here is why. First impression was the case was cheap and scratched easily. Next, after the set up and first run on propane, I tried to start it again to no avail, still using propane. I called Westinghouse and the tech said to check the oil level it may be too high and yes it was too high. I corrected the oil level and it started after about three tries. I ran it plugged in to my small trailer running the AC. Did fine. I stopped the generator. Attempting to restart and continue the brake in. Would not start. I was going to ruin the starter. At one point the starter hung up disengaged and then was spinning wildly. Had to shut off the generator to stop the starter from spinning. Tried to contact Westinghouse no joy. So I took the service panel off to expose the automatic choke. After several failed starts, it became obvious the auto choke was holding the choke too long. I was able to start every time by manually moving the choke to off. Too many issues to keep this generator that to me made it very unreliable. Sorry Westinghouse, I really wanted this generator to work.

I recently received (the very hard to get) iGen4500DF. I'm hearing an intermittent "rasping" sound when the generator output is between 1900 and 2300 Watts. The noise does not start until I exceed about 1900 Watts, it goes away again if I go over 2300 Watts. You have to be somewhat close to the generator to hear it, but it is definitely there. I have connected a Voltmeter, a Frequency meter, and an oscilloscope (through a 12VAC step down isolation transformer). When the generator makes this funny noise, the voltage, frequency, and wave-form remain perfect. I'm posting this in case someone else has had the same issue or perhaps would like to try their generator at these load levels and see if it makes any kind of "extra" noise. By the way, the generator continues to produce 120VAC right up to 3300 Watts.

This is an awesome generator. Thanks for the video. Have you had to deal with Westinghouse customer service? The reason why I ask is because I own a couple Champion inverter generators and there customer service is spot on. I am firm believer that a product is only as good as its follow up customer service when needed.

I have 130 hours on mine now. There is only two things I want to add to the review; one is that you can keep the unit running nonstop and switch to gas when the propane runs out while you switch cylinders. You turn the gas off at the cylinder first, it's in the manual actually, then quickly switch the knob to gas. It will stumble a bit, but won't actually interrupt power. The second and most important item is a problem. The RV spec TT30 plug just pushes in like a 15amp outlet. It will vibrate out repeatedly. There is no twist lock, you have to rig something up to keep it in. I moved the propane cylinder right up to it and that's enough to keep it in. I will add that the manual is surprisingly useful even if you think you know what you are doing. Except, forget wasteful 50hr oil change intervals after it's broke in. I won't make a recommendation except check what Honda recommends for their 3000.

I am looking for a generator like this to use the remote start or wire it up for a 2 wire start from my solar system inverter. For propane mode there is no way to remote start it with the inverter efficiency mode on MARK or does the propane set up not allow the efficiency mode?

Can you connect directly to the gas line on a newer RV? New RV's have a quick connect gas lines, so basic do I need the included regulator? Also, wish this had a quick connect for the propane. Looking at this because of the dual fuel option.

On my DuroMax generator before switching to propane you need to shut the fuel off and run the gas out of the carburetor. Otherwise the muffler would turn cherry red. Until the carburetor went dry. Is that required with the Westinghouse?

I've always heard that the Honda generators are the quietest ones, but your video seems to give the same-ish measures. Subjectively, can you hear the difference? Is it actually noticeable? I'm thinking of getting this generator for camping but I don't want to annoy the neighbors.
