Works Great / Oil In Shipping Box When Opening

Generator works as advertised, however when I open the box there was oil in the bag it was shipped in. There was motor oil on the bottom of the box and motor oil leaking out of the bottom of the unit. I sent information to Westinghouse support and they answered quickly and told me that this is normal.

Easy Open and Go

Upon receipt, opened box. Read instructions. Added oil. Connected battery (large hands WILL get scratches doing this). Connected hose and adapter to propane tank. Turned battery switch on. Pressed remote start button. Cranked for cycle. Generator automatically started second crank cycle and voila! Generator started and runs quiet. Hooked up circular saw and generator handled it well. Overall I am currently satisfied.

Paid for itself in 1 week

I purchased this item a few weeks ago. I live inside a national forest where it winds and rains often blowing branches onto power lines causing power loss for many hours at a time. This occurs about 30 times a year, shortest downtime being an hour and longest being 6 days. Last week I lost power twice for about 12 hours each time and this unit kept my kitchen area and frig running perfectly, saving about $600 worth of frozen/cooled items, twice, hence $1,200 saved by a unit that cost less than that just in 2 weeks! Easy to connect and very quiet to run.

Exactily What I Was Looking For!

I wanted a backup generator that wasn't too big like an open frame model. But I also wanted an inverter model that was more powerful than most inverter models. Finally, it was important for me to get a dual fuel generator. The iGen 4500DF fits the bill perfectly.

Very quiet.

I think this iGen4500DF is awesome. A little heavy for a senior to take in and out of vehicle but once out the handle and wheels make it easy to move around. Started on second try out of the box. I'm running it on propane and so far it's perfect. No problems.

Excellent machine feature wise.

Currently doing a break in process so jury is out. Started right up on propane which I intend to only operate on that. Engine surges slightly with no load but again no hours on it and no load yet. I will update when I have some hours. Otherwise the reviews from other owners help promote my purchase

Perfect for RVing

Just bought this and removed it from the box. No damage whatsoever and complete as described. Put the included oil in added gas connected the battery. Hit the start button and it fired right up and ran like a champ. Can't wait to try this compact quiet generator out at a campsite.

Haven't had to use it yet - bought for hurricanes

The registration card stated the serial number is on the model information label. It's not. I looked all over, including removing the side panel where the carburetor is located. That took about a half hour because the screws were so torqued down I couldn't break them free without finally putting channel locks on a #3 phillips head screwdriver. Is it really necessary to tighten these fasteners so much that they are fused to the frame? I then gave up searching on the machine and instead found the serial number on the cardboard box it came in. I then saw in this on-line registration that the serial number is underneath the muffler on the bottom of the generator. With a mirror I was able to verify that I had the correct serial number. Why would anyone want to hide the serial number on the bottom of the generator?

So far great

Just started my igen4500df up today for the first time. Everything was in the box that was supposed to be and in great condition. Generator started right up after adding oil and fuel. Also had it hooked up to propane and ran great when switching between propane and gas. A little sputtering when switching which is normal. Generator is quiet and runs great so far. Hooked it up to my Nash travel trailer and turned on the microwave and then the A/C and handled the loads great. My honda 2000 would not operate the A/C. I think this is just as quiet as the honda.
