Had to fix it.

Followed initial start up procedure and upon adding fuel, it started leaking everywhere. I found the main line from the fuel tank was completely disconnected. This could have been a major fire hazard and we feel this should be taken up with higher ups and we should be credited for us having to FIX something that should have been right from the factory. Westinghouse I expect you will contact me and or respond to my complaint.

Looks great

Bought this to use exclusively with propane. Received item in an unbroken box, with both the oil cover and the battery cover missing. Also the remote start key fob was in the battery compartment. Also the unit was missing the battery tie down strap.

Seems solid

Followed instructions for first start up & seems to work as it should. Operated off gas or propane. I've only briefly ran my air compressor & Dewalt 12" miter saw off it. Main use is to use wirh my RV but haven't been able to try it out yet. Also by giving this review Westinghouse says they will send me a cover for it. We shall see?

great product have a igen4500 not duel fuel

I Purchased an igen4500 not duel fuel approx 2 years ago and it has performed flawlessly. When I needed a second high output generator. I started looking for anther igen 4500. This inverter generator has performed better than I had hoped for the remote start allows me to start without going outside make my coffee and shut down. Extremely quiet, does not annoy neighbors, runs forever n a tank of fuel.

Fantastic Duel Fuel Gennie

I initially went with a different brand for a dual fuel generator but I'm glad it didn't work out. The Westinghouse fires up immediately and purrs quietly. I haven't used this that much yet (bought it for emergency use) but I believe it's going to serve me well when the time comes.

Weak battery - won't remote or push button start

Bought about a month ago. Was really looking forward to electric start, particularly remote start. Very disappointed that after running 10-14 hours the battery won't hold a charge to remote or push button start in the morning. Voltmeter showed 5.9V! Manual start doesn't always work either. Pull, pull, pull, pull, pull and give up. Even after removing side cover to manually set choke. Trusty Honda 2000i to the rescue! However, when I can get it started I am impressed with the power, eco mode, running time, sound level, and display.

Ran great on initial test

I purchased this generator for backup home power in the event of power failure. The iGen 4500DF was easy to set up except for a couple of missteps on my part. I over filled the oil reservoir. This was probably due to some residual oil in the engine from the factory test. I added most of the .63qt bottle. The reservoir is supposed hold .6 qt. it overflowed when I removed the funnel. The excess leaked out of the bottom of the case for a short time. On start up I added about a quart of gasoline to the tank. This apparently was not enough to get it running. It would almost turn over from time to time. It showed low fuel on the digital display. So I added some more fuel and that solved the problem. The start up with propane was perfect. It ran a little rough for a few minutes but then smoothed out. I ran it with several small loads plugged in for about a half and hour. It appeared to function properly. I experimented with switching back and forth from gas to propane and that went well. I am pleased with the generator so far.

Fits the RV needs.

Runs our AC and microwave at the same time. I like the wheels and the suitcase handle which makes it easy to move. Had no startup problems, perhaps they have finally been resolved. Fit and finish is just so-so, but that is all cosmetic, what is more important to me is performance. The owner's manual is a cut above what we receive nowadays. I see the issue with the oil drain, but I recently purchased an oil extractor and so I had no mess. If you have several small engines, that is the way to change oil. I'm satisfied so far.

Great features, flexibility of use, and low noise.

My wife and I wanted a generator to get us through the storms and Biden blackouts. This seems to fit the bill. For the price, this inverter model has less power than other styles at the same price, but it is compact and quiet. Switching from gas to propane Is a breeze.

Ease of use

I bought this product about 2 months ago, and when the largest winter storm in recent Midwest history started to head our way I was confident my family would be warm. With the dual fuel feature I had multiple options to run. Setup out of the box was quick and easy. The electric start is a super convince and the battery charger is great ensuring I have no problems.
