Had less than a week so I have no long term usage yet. Very surprised at how quiet it is. Set up was very easy. Came with everything needed to get started. Battery was charged already. Added oil and started right up. So far it rarely goes above 50% power even with the ac on in my Rv. Low fuel consumption as well. Well laid out control panel. And the remote start is a nice extra

I am very well pleased with our purchase decision. There are a number of portable inverter generators, not many at this price point that are so well engineered and laid out though. We are RV users and though I have actually just received it and set it up I am convinced we made the right choice for our money. It is not as light as a Honda but a Honda at this power level would cost twice as much. As for noise I can’t compare it to any as this is the only portable we have, but it does not seem obnoxiously loud by any means, and the camping we do we tend to not be around a lot of people and the generator will be used to charge the batteries we have for our trailer for the most part, intermittent use, not continual. So we are quite happy with our iGen4500DF.

Bought this generator for our Grand Design 17 MKE. I put in in the bed of my truck (make sure exhaust faces outward with tailgate open). Battery lasts all night and I can remote start from inside trailer. Also, was able to recharge a buddies systrm in less than 1 hour. It's heavy at 100 lbs. I use a standard metal cart to transfer from truck be to cart top without lifting. Very happy with peace of mind

I selected this generator because I live in an urban area and noise inconvenience to my neighbors was a big concern. The reason for requiring a generator was back up to the power grid going down, so it had to provide enough power to run a fridge/freezer x2, and other small items such as TV, or Internet which can be turn on and off as required. The generator also had to be something a senior citizen could move on their own. Noise - the noise level is quiet enough that it could run overnight without disturbing us or neighbors. During the day if nearby to the generator the noise isn't loud enough to be a problem. I measured 62db when about 25ft away, and audibly it wasn't louder closer too. To my ears it wouldn't be a problem running it for long periods of time. In the short time we have had the generator it has run everything we hoped it would. It wasn't purchased to run the whole house but for the needs we wanted it for it performs well. If down the line we decide more power is needed we will buy another one to run in parallel. That was a feature we noted before buying and room for expansion is a worthwhile feature. Weight - The attached handle and wheels make it fairly easy to move. It is kept in the garage and can be wheeled out with a little effort. Where we place it to run it is gravel and moving over the gravel requires more effort but it is not a struggle to do so. Took some time researching what to buy before we decided on the iGen4500DF, and are very happy with our choice. We went duel fuel to avoid the hassle of storing gas and it deteriorating.

Decided to get a generator after losing our freezer and refrigerator food during a 5 day power outage. Compared a lot of them and found the Westinghouse iGen 4500DF to be the best bang for my buck. It was out of stock for a few weeks so I guess a lot of other people think so too. As soon as I was notified it was in stock I placed the order and I had it within 4 days. Hooked up the battery, poured in the oil and gas and connected a propane tank then turned the battery on and hit start on the remote and viola! It purrs! Plugged in both fridge and chest freezer and both compressors kicked on no problem. Switched from gas to propane on the fly and it didn't miss a beat. The multi digital display is handy however I was puzzled by the power read outs, as they seemed a little off though it didn't affect the performance of the unit. Also, grounding of the unit is mentioned in the manual but it's ambiguous. Of the few videos I watched by independent users, it's not even an issue. Overall, very pleased with it. Bring on the next storm!

I’ve had it about a week , got it broke in, I researched duel fuel generators for awhile before purchase, My biggest surprise is how quiet it is! Also all the features, remote start, gas gauge, easy to assemble just put oil in, connect battery, put gas in and turn it on it’s that simple!

Happy with the purchase it replaces a Coleman 5000 which was very loud, this one is very quiet. My only issue is the side panel on the carb side does not sit flush if there was a screw instead of a post in that spot it would be perfect but it hits the carb and pushes it out slight. Only cosmetic so it can be lived with.

I purschased this generator before a planned power outage in my town. I was able to put the oil in and have it running in 10 minutes after opening the box. We were able to have heat in January in western NY and kept our refrigerator and freezer running. Also, we will use this generator for our camper since it is big enoigh to supply 30 amps to run the AC in the middle of summer. It will be awesone to be able to tap into the propane on the camper to run the generator at camp grounds that do not supply electricity.

Just bought this last week and it came today. I can't believe how easy it was to setup - connect the battery, put in the oil, connect the LP tank - hit the start button and it fired right up - shut it off - walked into the street and hit the remote button - started right up - deer huntin is going to be just great - SUPER QUIET!! Can't wait!

Bought the generator to power essential appliances during outages and also use for camping / RVing. It has everything I was looking for. It starts easily and is fairly quiet for a generator. I do wish it came with a cheat sheet on the different types of 30amp plugs, but that was an easy internet search.
