I used it for the first time this past week at a dry campsite in NY State. It worked flawlessly except I left the battery power switch on and it drained the battery. I'm a little annoyed that the recommended solution to fixing that problem is to plug it in to 110v AC power. Kinda hard to do that when you don't have power. I got a good chuckle out of that. It would be nice if there was some kind of audible alarm that lets you know the switch is still on after the generator has been turned off to avoid this exact situation.

This genny had all the features I wanted and then some. I think the igen4500DF had some drawbacks at first: people reported choke problems, gummed up carb, some other starting issues but I think Westinghouse got it sorted out because mine arrived and after following the instructions for setup it started second time on propane and ran great. All features are functional and the thing is soooo quiet.

This review is for the iGen5000DFc. I've only had this generator a few days, but it started up with no issues running on gasoline. I have not tried running it on propane yet. The generator was bigger than I thought from looking at the pictures. The retractable handle worked well for moving it around. After letting it run for about an hour unloaded, I ran my compound miter saw and vacuum cleaner with no issues. overall, i am happy with this purchase so far.

After researching the best rv generators I decided to go with the IGen4500DF. The reviews I read were definitely right on! I hooked up the battery put oil in and hit the button and wow, it fired up immediately and just purred. This thing is even more quiet than I expected! Love it couldn’t be happier!

Purchased this wGEN7500 as a backup for power outages at our home. Easy set up with a transfer switch. Started easily and runs smooth. Just tested with the switch and it easily ran our furnace, well, refrigerator and lights. The only downside is that the unit is loud, which was expected. Since it is for emergencies only, we’ll live with it.

Just received the unit and powered it up for the first time today, so this review just covers my initial reactions. First, this unit is very compact - it is roughly the same size and weight, but double the power as an older 1800/2070W Generator that I was replacing. It is also significantly quieter (probably less than half as loud). The built-in telescoping handle, wheels, power meter display, electric start, and CO sensor are all great bonus features. This is primarily to be used as an emergency residential backup generator, so the main reasons I chose this model were the low THD output (suitable for powering more sensitive electronic devices) and the ability to run off propane (no more worrying about fuel stabilizer and gas going bad). I only did limited testing so far, but after connecting the battery, adding oil, and hooking up the propane tank, the unit started easily with the electric start and quickly reached a stable output voltage. I plugged in a kill-a-watt meter to verify that it measured the same voltage as what was displayed on the generator panel - they matched (124V). I connected an upright freezer as a test load and the generator held steady with no noticeable dip in voltage. I did have a few minor issues: first, although the unit arrived in good condition and was well-packed, the battery was not properly secured inside. There was a strap inside the compartment, but it was loose and not attached to anything and there were not pictures or guides in the manual to show how it should be properly attached. The second issue is that the access cover over the oil fill / dipstick / drain is too small. It is not possible for an adult male to fit a hand inside this area. Worse, the drain bolt is offset so it will be very difficult to even get a wrench on the drain bolt. Poor access to the oil drain is probably the biggest weakness with this generator that I've seen so far and the only thing keeping it from 5 stars. It seems it would be pretty easy to fix (or at least improve) with a slight re-design to the plastic side-wall / cover.

This is the second westinghouse generator I've used. I upgraded from a used 4500 wat generator to a duel fuel 4500 for my RV. This generator is awesome with it's remote start and running off propane. While it produces less watts on propane it is also quieter than using fuel which is perfect for those state parks.

I've ran on board rv gens and other portable gens for years. Found this 4500df and gave it a shot. Price was less than others(with similar features)and noise level seems the same. The remote is a nice touch and will come in handy when powering my trailer.

I like the compact size and the quietness of this device. The only thing I'm dissatisfied with is that I needed a high altitude kit. But I came to know this while reading the manual. Stuff like this should be advertised in the description of the generator and the kit should be available to buy without effort. The carburator accesory's number part available in the store doesn't match the one that is in the product manual. Also while looking in the iGen 4500DF section in the parts store, no kit was available but only for the iGen 5000DF. All of this ruined the moment because now I should wait until the kit arrives to try my new generator and all is a lot of confusion for such an essential accessory.

Just bought this generator after Beryl hit Houston and experienced prolong power outage. This is my first time buying an inverter generator and I am happy with the purchase. It's well-built and run with very low noise. Not strong enough for my AC unit but will hook up to my breaker for other appliance. Wish it has an electronic/push button start.
