Bought a week ago and filled the oil with the amount given and it overflowed, put 3 gallons of gas in it , pulled it 20 times without turning it on to distribute oil in engine , when I figured out I had to add a ground wire it started right up. In my opinion Super Quiet ....3 gallons has lasted bout 20 hours with 5 hour breakin and the rest running a RV AC unit and it stays bout 50% power usage. 13,500 ac unit runs with lights on and microwave running. So far , So good...easy to set up and move with handle and it's less noise than a window ac unit.

I have been meaning to purchase generator for years and a recent brief power outage I finally did it. I researched my options and chose the Westinghouse 4500DF. I like the dual fuel option as I’m likely to have one or both fuel options on hand in when I need to use the generator. The set up was easy and the unit started right up. I also like that it’s pretty quiet when running.

I purchased this generator because the specifications said it could handle over 30 AMPs running on gasoline or propane. When our family travels towing our Airstream (30 AMPs) we like to keep the generator in the tow vehicle. It's great that it doesn't smell of gasoline. I also wanted to use this generator as a backup solution with a transfer switch on our house. There is a meter on the front of the generator showing the load and the kilowatts being used. I was able to power two refrigerators, a freezer, lights, and some computers all running together. I added enough items to push it over 30 AMPs and it handled it well. It's quiet and I like the weight. The generator weighs about 100 lbs but it is manageable with two people. The two metal bars on the top help when lifting. The extending bottom handle is great for moving it around when it's on the ground. Nice product.

I believe this will be a great unit. As I live in altitude (6.5K'), requiring high altitude kits to operate, so haven't started it up yet. Great packaging and instruction manual. Since altitude kits only go to 6K-7K, wondering how it will run at 9K' where I intend to use it most. Wonder if fuel injection is in the works? I hate the thought of disassembly each time I go somewhere else.

I bought this generator to provide emergency backup power. It's fairly compact and quiet, yet appears to be well built and runs really smoothly. Starts easily via pull cord, electric push button or wireless fob. Setup was easy with the included oil and funnel. Side panel openings provide quick access to the battery and oil fill/drain, although it is a bit tight given it was engineered for a small profile and with sound insulating side panels. I love the dual fuel capability and so far have only run it on propane. While its primary purpose will be backup power, I like that it is portable and quiet and could be used for camping, tailgating, etc.

I have been looking for over 6 months for a Generator with the features that I needed for my recreational use. I found it with this Generator. Once I received it, I was surprised by the extra little things that came with it. For one a tool kit for the Generator. How often do you get that anymore. It also came with a bottle of Oil and a funnel. The unique thing about the funnel is that it screws into the oil fill, so I had no mess when I added the oil. This unit also has a remote start which is hard to find in a duel fuel model. I followed the quick start instructions and within minutes had it running on Gasoline and then on Propane. Ran as expected and was very quite. Great Job Westinghouse. Will be telling my friends what to get.

I was very surprised and please when I started the iGen4500df and it was quiet. Then I thought let’s see how loud it is w/o eco-mode and full throttle. It was ALREADY on full throttle and that quiet. I selected eco-mode and went to idle and was very quiet to a normal conversation. I could even have a phone conversation standing beside it with no issue. Sure, you can tell it’s running but NOTHING like my previous construction grade generation.

Works likes it supposed to so far. After you get fuel through the lines it starts up first crank. The electric start and remote both work no problem. The plug for the built in battery charger is nice because I already forgot to shut off my battery and I killed it but I just plugged it into an outlet to get it charge. I have run it off both gas and propane with no issues. The noise level isn’t to bad for a generator this size. Running it on the grass or dirty vs concrete will reduce the noise a lot. The only cons the this generator so far are that the oil change is kind of a pain on this model. I recommend get an after market oil drain hose to put on. It’s heavy but so are all generators this size. No easy to get to manual fuel shut off valve. The manual say to turn on the manual choke and fuel valve but this model doesn’t not have those because it is all automatic. The muffler sits a little low so you might kill some grass if you don’t cover the grass with something like a piece of wood. Overall a very easy to operate dual fuel generator. I hooked it up to my small camper trailer and was able to run my small AC unit, the 12 volt refrigerator, and the microwave all the the same time with power to spare.

I purchased this Westinghouse iGen5000DFc based on my research. The information I found lead me to choose this unit over many other brands that I researched. When I got it home and unboxed it and I was immediately impressed with the build quality. After reading the documentation I felt confident I made the correct decision. The manual was clear and informative. I examined the unit thoroughly getting familiar with the location of all the significant items and at that point I knew I had made the correct purchase.

We lose power frequently. Having a big generator that makes a lot of racket I wanted something that was smaller and quieter to run overnight. This generator fits our needs perfect to power 2 sump pumps, 2 refrigerators 1 freezer and some lights. Can't beat this generator for the price.
