The unit arrived ahead of schedule by several days however.... they set it in my driveway conveniently infant of the garage door but.... upside down. When opened and removed from the shipping bag there was oil on all the surfaces. HOPEFULLY this is just cosmetic and I know there is usually some residual oil left in the machine. Heavy but rolls easily. Surprised the 30A receptical was not for a locking plug. Used to seeing them on marine applications. Looking forward to starting it up on propane since the house is plumbed for it and has two very large supply tanks.

We used this for one night, ran it for 15 minutes and then when we went to turn iton again it was dead. The battery arrived dead, so it needed to run longer in order to charge up. However this took a day to figure out, called customer service 800 # put in a ticket. Lady who took info nice, but had no idea how to help. No one ever called/emailed back on our ticket, it came with the wrong manual. So after downloading the correct manual we realized we could plug it in to our car to charge the battery, one hour later, we were able to start it. Rough first time, but I think it will be fine. SUPER quiet! I would like another month to review this, but I want the cover now, so one night and review it is!

I've been looking for a generator so we can expand our camping adventures to include boondocking. Many of the places we want to visit are in remote areas and while having electricity is not absolutely essential, it is a nice perk. After considerable research, I decided on the Westinghouse iGen4500DF for all of its features, especially the dual fuel capabilities. It was delivered in a robust box with more than an amble amount of foam packaging. Setup was super easy with the include oil, funnel and quick connect battery. In less than 30mins from unboxing, I had the generator running for a break in period. It fired right up on the first try and after a few seconds (while the automatic choke did its thing) it got very quiet. Then I switched it to eco-mode and couldn't believe that it got even quieter. I called my wife over to take a listen and she couldn't hear it running until she was about 20ft away. We plugged in our RV and began turning on appliances. It handled everything we threw at it including a 15K btu A/C, electric hot water heater, refrigerator, and coffee maker. We were careful not to overload the generator and turned off some equipment before turning something else on. 3700 watts gives us more than enough power to be comfortable when we are dispersed camping. The telescoping handle makes moving the generator a breeze. At a dry weight of 98lbs, this unit isn't exactly light. However, with the long handle, pulling it around isn't a chore.

I bought this generator because of the 2021 winter storm in Texas, and less than a week after I got it I used it after a hurricane knocked out power for half a day. It had no problems powering all the essentials - my refrigerator, window unit, freezer, lights, and even a toaster oven to cook meals. The push button start is very convenient, especially for my wife. I especially love that it can use propane, so I can stock up and be shelf stable for a long time. All in all, I'm really pleased with this generator and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

Don't get me wrong , I really like this generator with all of it's features its hard to beat but the known issues with the automatic choke!!! Pretty easy fix but you shouldn't have to fix brand new generator right out of the box! fix your Q.C. issues

I like the fact that the generator is fairly quiet compared to most other brands of the same capacity. The dual fuel option is great! My only complaint is that it is fairly heavy, but at least there is a retractable handle to pull out and use when you need to move it.

This is the second Westinghouse generator that I have purchased. The first was an iGen2500 that we used to power our outdoor wedding, many tools on our acreage and our camper. This one is to be paired and used to power our house in case of an outage. It fired up on the first crank and ran like a champ on propane! The setup was just as easy as the first and it runs just as quietly. I didn't even realize it had a collapsible handle for wheeling! What a nice surprise! We love these generators and hope to get years of use from them.

I bought this generator just prior to my most recent hurricane knowing that I would not receive it in time for the upcoming storm. Fool me twice (or three times?) LOL. Lost power for 10 days plus last year. This unit is versatile and includes dual fuel sources. I anticipate needing it again in the future but have not needed it yet. Love that it is compact and has wheels and an extension handle.

I purchased this inverter/ generator as part of a bus conversion into a tiny home to supplement my solar system during inclement weather. It has exceeded my expectations, quiet, reliable, and the remote function is a fantastic feature. It’s also less expensive than similar models, most of which do not have a dual fuel capability.

I purchased an iGen4500df last month and after unboxing, realized the starter had broken apart from engine. Returned item, reordered and received new unit in two days. Used the following weekend and worked without a hiccup. After unboxing, connected battery, filled with the provided oil, gassed it up and it started first push of the starter button. Although initial unit had problems, I would definitely recommend this product due to the features you get in this price range.
