Bought this about 18 months ago after moving to the country. Only ran it a bit for testing after receiving it. But, had to pull it out for real use this past weekend. Everything went as needed. Couldn't immediately find the user guide (in the dark), but had adequate instructions on the gen to remind me. Got is situated; few easy steps to start. It took a couple times at trying to start, but then started running on the third try. That was likely due to some stale gas. But then ran it for several hours to power some needed items for family movie night until the power returned. We were just running extension cords to items to power a couple lights, TV, router (somehow still had internet), and the fridge. We had the unit outside on our deck, just 15 feet away from us, and were able to enjoy the movie just fine. Generator was pretty quiet (as desired) and didn't even create much vibration. Very, very pleased. I think we'll be in good shape when a greater need comes along. Tested it tonight with our propane tank and fired right up like a champ. Sounded even quiter on the propane.

I just unpackaged and did my break in run and the remote doesn't work. I tried everything and read instructions. The oil drain is in a sick place and doesn't allow the oil to drain anywhere but under the motor and inside the entire bottom shroud. I will still recommend this generator though only based on the reviews I've read before purchasing as I have only had it for 2 days. So far I'm not happy with its design. but it seems to run good

I did a lot of research before deciding to purchase this generator. The advantages of it being an inverter type (significantly better fuel economy, less engine wear likely, clean power) made it worth the price premium above straight AC generators. Consumer Reports rated it's little brother iGen2500 generator excellent in power delivery and power quality as well as very good in noise and ease of use. I found it with excellent documentation and easy to set up. Packaging was also excellent. Propane fuel setup was straight forward. Generator started up very quickly to smooth, quiet operation. Switching to Eco Mode, engine came to an idle smoothly, very quiet - enough to get Wife's praise for getting an electric start unit! After warming it up, plugged in a 1200 /1500 watt space heater to check out Eco response with varied load. It passed with flying colors! On board digital readout was quite accurate to heater advertised wattage consumption. Have not run the generator on gasoline thus far and do not plan to unless dire emergency exhausts propane supply. I have no reason to suspect gasoline would pose any problems should I need to switch to it. We are very happy with the IGen4500DF and will not hesitate to recommend it to others.

I haven't owned this generator very long, but it seems to be holding up. It has stuttered under load a bit but it is new and was running in the cold, so the oil may be a little more viscous and affect performance? I'll try to update this review after more use if necessary.

I just got this generator, after looking and researching for months. I wanted something big enough to run AC, Vent Fan, Microwave, lights, and TV in my fifth wheel. I went with the dual fuel in case I run out of gas, I will have propane to run it till I get to a gas station. I love the remote start, a must on my check list. I have broke the generator in already and have tested the AC, vent fan, and microwave, internet router, lights, and TV and it only hit 75% load. I am very happy with the unit.

After extensive research, I purchased the iGen5000DFc. What a great decision it was! It has all the features I was looking for: sufficient starting watts to power up and run our travel trailer AC, duel fuel capability, 3 starting options, CO sensor, Low oil LED. Initial set up was easy. Motor oil and funnel, battery charger and a tool kit were included with the generator. The generator started up effortlessly the first time. I was surprised how quiet it runs. Looking forward to using this generator for camping and during power outages at home.

We just received this generator in preparation for the camping season. I put in the oil, hooked up the battery, and followed the rest of the prep instructions and it fired right up first try. I let it run in my garage for 5-6 hours in -10 degrees and it did not have any issues. It's fairly quiet without a load, we will see once we get it hooked up to the camper. I am confident this will run all my appliances with some to spare and costs a fraction of the red one we were looking at.

Customer Review Phillip D. Johnson 5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely one of the finest piece of equipment purchased in a LONG time Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2022 Style: iGen4500DFcVerified Purchase I like everything about it. I have three larger generators, KOHLER, Briggs, but this takes the cake, also propane fueled. Have tried for days to put in URL for a FREECover, but have given up!

It's adding up to everything promised. I was also surprised by how easily it can be move around with the extension handle, something my wife definitely needs. That said, the manual could use some more detail. E.G. It refers to the choke, but doesn't show where it is. The same for the fuel valve.

We outgrew our 2200w Hon** suitcase inverter and needed to upsize. After doing some research and talking to other RVers we chose the igen4500. A bit sceptical since we didnt have any direct expierence with Westinghouse generators or inverters but the iGen4500 had lots of features for a very reasonable price. Especially appreciated how EVERYTHING was included in the box with the inverter... oil, tools, funnel and even a battery charger! Unit was very easy to prep for use and started up with a simple push of the remote. So far only have 30+ hours on the unit but to date it has performed very well and has easily exceeded my expectations. Definitely recommend the iGen4500 to anyone.
