Worked right out of the box. Started instantly and it has performed as advertised. Read lots of reviews and chose Westinghouse because of size and features. I changed oil after five hours of running it at 25%. The oil was still good but I wanted to use those five hours as a break in to give the motor the best opportunity for success. The generator runs our RV 15k air conditioner with ease at 50 % capacity.

This is my first generator and it is really nice. I connected it to my house through my electrical panel using an interlock to isolate from the grid and it handled all my 120 V loads (although I obviously had to limit simultaneous loading). Very attractive. So with planning, I can live comfortably in my home in an emergency situation as long as I have propane or gasoline. Stays cool after operating for hours. Great control panel. Handles load changes well. Easy to move around. However, while it may be quieter than most generators, especially open frame, the 52 dB noise level touted by Westinghouse is misleading. At 5 feet from the generator the noise level is about 80 dB. You have to get out about 60 feet or so from the generator to get down to 52 dB. So my one disappointment is that it is noisier than I thought it would be. But as I understand, it's still quieter than most. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it.

Writing this as asked to get a cover for the unit. I just started it up using Gas to do a quick check to make sure it was running before a storm hits and knocks out power. The unit shipped with oil and indeed didn't need the full bottle as there was some remaining from factory. The unit seems definitely quiet under no / light load so far in testing and I didn't run it long enough to check the eco mode as starting it normally showed about a 10.5hr run time off a close to full tank of gas. Looking forward to also checking the propane connection when needed.

Everything needed in one small unit, fired up first try on propane ! Very quiet running unit, easy maintenance, quieter and less fumes than my old gas 4500 watt open frame. Electric start is simple, push for 1 second and it starts, same to shut down. Happy customer !

I bought the IGen 4500df primarily for upland bird hunting boondocking in State Forest. It is still in the break in period but has impressed me so far. I am wanting the option of the dual fuel and the 4500 status. Looking forward to years of good service.

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.

The iGen4500DF is easy to operate. I really enjoy the FOB for instant startup. The LED Data Center keeps me informed about the generator's running time and fuel levels as well as the power level. I like the generators light weight and pull handle allowing me to take the generator almost anywhere with ease. With less than 3% THD I can run my laptop and television too. I favor the duel fuel option, in case I use up my LP fuel, I've always got gasoline available to keep the generator powering up my lights and refrigeration. The generator is hooked up to my transfer switch and it's so easy to power up the house during a power outage, which already happened..

I purchased this dual fuel iGen4500 DFc generator a month ago and though I have not needed it for a power outage yet, that is primarily why I purchased it. I had help from a neighbor who is more experienced with generators than I to set it up and get it running. I then ran it myself for the 5 hour break in period that day as we were expecting a storm. I have given it 4 stars because it was a bit challenging to get the battery hooked up, due to the fiddly strap and positioning it properly. Also, it took a few tries to get it to start, and finally started it with the remote at a distance. The instructions said to vary the load during the break in period, and I used a hair dryer to accomplish that. I’m hopeful that I can give a more detailed review after using it for a time. I chose it because it has features that allow me, a senior female, to move it around easily, use different fuels, and use the digital readout to give me up to date info on fuel, load, running time etc.

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.

After several days of researching for a generator, I landed on this beast. I’m sure I don’t need this much power but I prefer to have more then less. Generator was easy to setup and even though its pretty heavy, having the arm to pickup up and wheel around makes it easy to move around.
