I am very happy with this generator. I selected the igen4500df because: 1 - Quiet Inverter Generator 2 - Higher Wattage for an Inverter Generator 3 - Remote Start 4 - Dual Fuel I waited a couple months for it to come in stock after deciding on this one. Seems Westinghouse had some production delays. I ended up ordering and getting one in mid-August 2019. I bought from Home Depot because I trust them if I get a melon to make it right. I got it set up in 10-15 minutes. I was able to lift out of the box by myself. I put the supplied oil in (note - if you use the full .6L bottle provided you will overfill the oil reservoir). I hooked it up to a 20lb propane tank, pushed the start button and it started right up. I ran it for 20 minutes or so and then shut it down. I tested the remote start/stop from close by and it works great. I ran for about 8-10 hours with low load and then changed the oil (I put in full synthetic). Then, I took it up to the cabin the following weekend to really test it. I ran it about 8 hours / day for 2 days and it worked flawlessly. I ran it on gas and it goes a LONG time on a little gas. The remote start/stop worked well. I turned it off at night and then started it in the morning and it fired right up...even leaving the battery switch on all night. It seems the remote start has a bit longer range than the stop, for some reason. I was 40-50 yards away and needed to walk outside to start it and walk a little close still to stop it. I really like the feature overall. My morning starts were mid 40s (F). I didn't have any issues with cool weather starts. I will be using it this winter and am interested to see if the auto-choke feature does its job. This thing is quiet! I previously had a 6500w champion. That thing has a lot of power but it is loud (not an inverter). The igen4500df ran all day 30 yards from our camp fire and we forgot it was there. I don't care about the fancy gadgets / power meter / usb chargers. We plug into the big 30amp outlet to power the cabin (well pump (110v), lights, toasters, AC, chargers, etc) and forget about it. When the well pump kicks on the lights dim as it spins up and then handles it fine. I'd buy again. I'll try to post again after winter with an update.

we just had an extended power outage, and I had a generator.....BUT....it wouldnt work with my new ref and freezer.......turns out the newer appliances dont like the AC from an older style generator. Bought this model at out local farm store, and was not disappointed. Kept my frozen foods, and my wifes medicine cold for 44+ hours. Did I mention I broke the recoil rope on my old generator......no worries with this one, its electric start !!!! worked great,

Seems like a good generator! But ran like bad when I first got it! Found the choke was stuck on because the wire for the electronic choke was unplugged. Don’t know why this is saying I didn’t write a review. Maybe it’s not long enough that is why am just writing this now..

... I had too much “fright” to go back to the “harbor” so I decided to just bite the bullet & go w/something nicer from a reputable name brand. The quick start/setup was extremely well written & easy to follow, generator fired up from “half of crank” & worked flawlessly for my first 4 day desert trip. The smart meter feature is amazing, I really appreciate the dual fuel feature since my home runs on propane, I can hook up & use this generator from my 500gal home tank. 5 stars, all the way, doesn’t get better for the $$

Just bought this and did the 5 hour break in. I used a heat gun to fluctuate the power as instructed for break in process. I changed the oil after break in. I found some small metal flakes in the used oil. Not sure if this is normal or not. It seemed to operate properly

Just took it out of the box and had it running on propane in less than 10 minutes. That was after about 20 minutes of reading the quick-start guide and manual. Definitely familiarize yourself with everything, but this baby is super simple. Pretty quiet too, especially in Eco mode.

I believe this will be a great unit. As I live in altitude (6.5K'), requiring high altitude kits to operate, so haven't started it up yet. Great packaging and instruction manual. Since altitude kits only go to 6K-7K, wondering how it will run at 9K' where I intend to use it most. Wonder if fuel injection is in the works? I hate the thought of disassembly each time I go somewhere else.

I bought this a couple weeks ago, my husband forgot gas for it. We have the dual fuel generator, so we just hooked it right up to the propane tanks on our camper and it worked wonderfully! Very quiet, the remote start is an amazing feature as well! We were able to run AC, coffee pot, and my hair tools all at one time!

The generator works as advertised so far. It is handy to be able to use either gasoline or propane to run this generator. It is very quiet, and appears to be powerful enough to power my new RV, although I haven’t been able to verify that just yet. The remote start is also a very nice feature. The unit did come with a crack in the housing case near the pull handle. This is only a cosmetic issue and doesn’t appear to affect the functionality of the unit. There was no damage to the original packaging, so this unit was shipped from the factory with this issue. Unfortunately, I didn’t discover the issue until it was too late, so now I’m stuck with it. At least the damage is only cosmetic at this point.

I’ve long had a VERY NOISY generator to use as home back up. So noisy that immediately after power is restored if I don’t turn the generator off immediately i get banged with a list of text requests to Please turn it off from neighbors. The unit arrived on time , no damage. Very easy set up and VERY quite comparatively. Starts very easy and I love the built in battery tender.
