I purchased a year ago but just set the generator up this weekend. Decided to try propane first. I got it ready and plugged it in for several days to let battery charge. Pulled out today and the generator started right up. Runs quiet! Going to try it out on a primitive camp trip. I will say the fit and finish isn’t great on this but overall for the $ seems to be a good generator. Hope it lasts, as it will only get used a couple of times a year for camping and as a back up if lose power.

I have just opened the box and set it up. I was patient and careful, i.e. I followed RTFM and had no problems. I bought the dual fuel model because my purpose is to have it for emergency power backup. Turns out that increased thermal energy in the atmosphere creates violent wind storms that knock out power lines. Who could have predicted that? I don't want to use gasoline if possible since it will spoil in the tank if it's not used. The propane regulator connections were easy. The only issue is the small washer in the LPG line from the unit to the regulator is smaller than the fitting so it falls out. It seems like it could be a snug fit, but they wrapped the end of the hose in a plastic bag to avoid it being lost, which was a heads up. I left the hose connected to the regulator to avoid losing it in the future. Hooked up the battery and pressed the on button, and it started right up. I ran my basement dehumidifier for five hours to break in the motor per the instructions. It was less noisy than the neighbor's lawn mower so no big deal (i.e. no complaints from others in the house). No idea about longevity. Storing for long periods requires pulling the spark plug and putting oil into cylinders to avoid corrosion of the pistons. I plan to run it every month for a little while to power a blower or vacuum the car, which seems easier. I ran the dehumidifier and a blower, which was only 1/2 max power so it should be plenty to keep the refrigerator and the blower for the HVAC running in an emergency.

I have had my iGEN4500DF for a little over a year now. I have used it with both gasoline and propane and have never had a problem with either. I have never used the pull rope to start it as it has always started with the push button or remote fob. It is quite portable, and very quiet. It powers everything I need in the event of a power outage. I am extremely satisfied with the product.

I'm 64, my husband is now 74 and our old generator, though worked like a champ, requires pull start and we are too weak at our advanced age to get it started. I chose this generator because I trusted the Westinghouse brand AND because of the push electric start. It's AMAZING. We only use the generator when the power goes out as we are in snow country and the power can go out for several days at a time in a bad storm. Have it primed and started it with the key fob ... so cool ... and it started right up.

Bought this for price and power as a Honda EU2200 Gen will not power my Travel Trailer AC. With this unit being Dual dual fuel. I can use my Trailers Gas grill hookup to fuel the generator. Or gas or spare Propane tank. Going to mount this on my Travel trailer bumper which is where my Shore power hookup is. Easy start with pull cord and electric start no need to go outside if raining to start.

I had been researching a generator for our new RV and believe we made the right choice on the Westinghouse IGEN4500DF. Once I took it out of the box and read the instructions I finished setting it up. Only downfall I had from instructions was for me to fill entire bottle of oil into the engine. I didn't use it all but still it was leaking out. Cleaned up the excess and closed the drain plug. Hooked up the Propane and put enough gas in to start. Okay, now I ready to start. It took a couple of tries and review of instructions but it started up. Then I switched over to Propane and you can here it convert. Let it run for a little bit and switched back to gas seamlessly. Remote worked like a charm. I can't wait to take it out camping and enjoy my new Westinghouse I GEN4500DF.

I bought this generator as a backup to power a couple of fridge/freezers in the event of a power outage. I also liked the fact that I can run my entire camper (including AC) with this unit. I have not tested on my home yet but have used it several times to power my camper during the summer. I also like the wheels and handle as it allows me to easily roll it around outside to use it for things like power washing and other outdoor projects that typically require a long extension cord.

I purchased this generator for my new 5th wheel RV. Simple to set up easy to use. It immediately started with both the remote and the push button and pull start. Very quiet and works as advertised. When filling the oil which is provided, I would suggest to start with a 1/2 a bottle check the level and then continue to add a little at a time, If you pour the entire bottle in you will overflow the oil reservoir.

Great generator, fired right up, started breaking it in last night. Really surprised by how quiet it runs, this will be the perfect companion on our boondocking trips! Have not tried propane yet but am excited to have the option. Perfect for our RV

Bought it at the start of the month and since then had a few major storms roll through the area leaving us without power for a several hours a couple times now. With this generator everything was covered - from a fridge and freezer, to some electronics that needed power. It was a perfect price for a great product when it was needed most!
