Easy to unpack and set-up. No damage noticed nor disconnected wiring as others have noted in their reviews. Ready to go except for adding oil, hooking up the battery, and adding fuel. Quick Start Guide (QSG) said to add oil until full. Manual said to add entire bottle of oil and showed a picture of full that doesn’t match the unit (opening is straight to side rather than angled up). Neither even mentioned the dip stick on the plug. So I slowly filled until the level hit the bottom of the threads on the plug port similar to the picture. The dipstick showed about halfway up the hashed area. So that seemed OK and left a little bit in the bottle. It’s possible the entire bottle could fit before hitting the high mark on the dipstick. I didn’t try it. They should clean this up so all matches and gives clear guidance. The QSG said to make sure the battery was hooked up. It wasn’t and it also was not secured in place. You could miss it but it was sitting on a rubber strap. I reseated the battery with strap over the top and attached the clip. Unlike the guide picture, the battery cables were already attached to the battery and there was just a quick connect in the line to push together. The manual does show that however. No mention was made of needing to charge the battery first so I didn’t. I hooked up a propane tank which was as easy as hooking up to grills, etc. Note that there is an o-ring in one end of the hose you need to attach. It can fall out, hence the plastic bag that came over that end. I currently plan to only use propane in it but nice to have the option and one reason I bought this one. The manual and QSG have other errors in them. There is no on/off “Battery” switch. There is a Run/Stop switch instead. There is no Start/Stop push button either as shown. It says ON/OFF on it with “PUSH BUTTON ELECTRIC START” under it. The two control panel pictures in the manual on p. 10 and 11 do not match each other and neither matches the actual control panel. It is significantly re-arranged compared to those pictures. While I noted various document errors, they were easy to figure out. However, I do expect documents to be correct. I only ran it once so far for an hour for check out and break in. It started right up on the second attempt. Probably need to get fuel in the line and air out on the first try. After that, ran like a charm. I did a couple of shut downs and restarts with the unit’s button and remote. Fired right back up each time. Slightly noisier than I had hoped but I think quieter than many others I have heard. Can easily converse next to it but can hear inside the house. My first generator so nothing to directly compare to other than neighbors’ units I’ve heard from a distance, some of which are very loud. Per the manual I only used it up to roughly half power for the break in period (first 5 hrs.). I hooked up to my chest freezer and varied some lights and small heaters on/off to change the load up and down. Always worked fine. Tried both 20 amp outlets and both USB ports. No issues noticed. Almost :-) looking forward to the next power outage to really use it. 5 stars for features and usage so far and minus 1 star from that for document errors.

Just got this unit and have not used it much, but so far i like it. Not quite as quiet as a Honda but almost. I like the remote start and the cost compared to other brands. I can't wait for camping season to come again so I can put it to use powering my fifth- wheel trailer. This is the main reason I bought it. So far so good.

Just set it up and extremely pleased. Added oil and attached the LP tank and fired right up. Will need to break it in but very happy that after a couple of slow pulls, the generator fired up and ran smoothly. We live in an area with intermittent power outages and we run numerous network peripherals that need to stay up and running.

Even though we aren't ready to put it to the test quite yet, of course I wanted to fire it up and see how it performed. Set up was simple, and after following the instructions to connect the battery and fill with oil, I connected the propane, checked for leaks, the fired it up. First with the push button, next with the remote, then finally with the manual crank. Easy and flawless. We then hooked up our camper's 30A line, tested out the air conditioner, and it was just like we were hooked up to shore power. We shut the door, turned off the AC and could barely hear the unit humming just a few feet away from the camper. Looking forward to many years and adventures with this unit!

The iGen4500DF- Dual Fuel generator is a excellent generator its running a freezer, a refrigerator and some lighting and outlets in our house with no problem. Also we will be using it for our RV. Its very quiet and really like all the features it offers really like the duel fuel and the pull handle which makes moving it really easy. It runs great on propane. I feel is a well made generator and would purchase again.

Just received my Westinghouse iGen4500DFc. I’ve just got it through the break in period and it’s the smartest purchase I’ve made. Super Low Sound, powers my whole trailer and is super efficient on Propane. The digital screen and remote start is such a huge bonus compared to other brands. Big enough to make great power yet small enough to pack around by yourself. Worth every dime.

Needed an inverter with hugher capacity and low noise, since my neighbors are very close. Very happy with this one - started right up first time and easy to add oil and charge battery. Noise level was at conversation level, and powers all the loads I need in a storm or loss of home power. Great purchase and best of breed.

4.5 Stars. This extremely quiet. My car engine is louder than this thing when idling. Running off of propane makes for an extremely clean burn. Even though the generator can use gasoline, I have no intention of using it with anything other than propane. The only issue I found was with the generator in **Economy Mode** when running at under 700 watts: Occasionally the power would drop out for about 1/10th a second every 10-20 minutes or so, which can, but not always, cause desktop computers to reboot that aren't on a UPS unit (laptops won't need this). Even though the inverter should supply clean power, is is still a very good idea have your electronics on a surge suppressor/UPS when on a generator. The youngster in the house failed to follow instructions and put his computer on the UPS for the generator and transfer switch test, which is how this was discovered. Generator was run at ~1100Ft elevation, so there was no need for an elevation kit.

I finally was able to get it out of the box and fire it up. I have not loaded it up much but it works great for what i have done so far. Kind of hard starting on Gasoline in the cold weather, but starts great on Propane. I will start on propane to warm it up, then switch to gasoline. No problem.

The ease and features that this generator has is awesome! I like the multitude of different ways to start it. The display readout is extremely nice so you know how much fuel you have left, the hours on the engine, how much time is left for runtime, and I especially like the load output indication. It runs extremely quiet and the wheel around handle is also nice. You do not need to buy any addons as this generator comes with everything including the hose for the propane, wrenches to connect, and even a funnel to add the oil that is included. Great generator!
