This generator came with the right amount of oil, almost. That is, it comes with a 0.6 qt container of break-in oil. However, don't pour in the last ounce unless you like cleaning up oil spills. Once you put all the oil in and unscrew the funnel, that last ounce will spill out into the bottom of the generator. #@%$! Using propane as the fuel source, it started in about TWO seconds. Also, it's much quieter than my 3,500 watt open frame generator. I've only gotten 3 of the 5 break-in hours on it so far but it runs my camper AC with no problem. Since I'm still within the 5 hours break-in time I'm still waiting to see how it'll handle more load. I've alternately run both my AC units. And judging from the power monitor, I just may be able to (with everything else off) run the second AC unit. I know it'll supply enough power for more than both my AC units but it's the 1 second 3x starting surge I'm concerned about. Only experimentation will tell. Some times I will want the camper to cool down quickly with both AC units before turning one off. Then with only one AC running I'm sure it will have enough power for the coffee pot or the blow dryer or whatever. By what this unit has demonstrated so far, I think this is the perfect size for the boondocking I intend to do. If I had a way of following up on my remarks after I've had more experience with this unit, I would. In fact, I'm hoping to follow up in a week or so on Amazon. Jerry Retired Electrical Instructor

I finally purchased this inverter after using another brand for the last few years. The last use of those paralleled inverters was a disaster. Frequent issues in 0 degree weather while hunting was frustrating to say the least This was the first use after their "factory" deemed them in tip top condition as I couldn't get them to sync with the parallel cable and had frequent overload issues with nothing hooked to them. I've been waiting for the past year to get my hands on this inverter for our 5th wheel and am very excited to use it. It seemed to be out of stock everywhere I looked over this past year. Finally, I got my hands on it! Three things stick out thus far. First, with all the nice features on this set up I'd love to see an hour meter in order to track maintenance. I'll add one as we put about 250-350 hours on a year between boondocking and my week of hunting. Secondly, I'd like to see some sort of break in procedure in the user manual. I've not seen any and don't see anything specific to this set. Maybe there is none, but I would think there would be a note about that too. Maybe I missed it. I track my maintenance to extend the life of things as long as possible so being able to break this in correctly is important. Third, it is very quiet and I am very happy about that. So far I've added the oil, and run it to confirm there were no shipping issues. And will test it out on the 5th wheel as soon as it's back from service.

i bought this to run my pumps when my house floods. the duel fuel is the ticket and what can be better than remote start. I just followed the set up and starting guidelines pulled the rope, started on 3rd pull. turned it off and pushed the start button , boom started right up. turned it off again and used the remote and again great start. no reason to fool around plugged in my chop saw and cut away its 15 amps... so yea I'm ok so far. feeling like I made the correct choice

I used this generator during this past winter storm in Texas and it worked great. Having the dual fuel option to use propane is a game changer if you don't want the gasoline smell in your garage. I did take off the panels to ensure the internal motor cable for the auto-choke was connected, so no issues for me like other users have experienced with that.

Quick and easy to get up and running - reviewed the manual, followed the quick start guide, added oil, set-up with propane, pushed button and it started right up and ran great. And it is relatively quiet. First impression - I am happy. I looked at a lot of generators before buying this one. Seemed to be a good value, had a lot of positive reviews, was compact and had the power output I potentially need.

We researched for months and came to the conclusion this was the generator we were looking for. We wanted the duel fuel option because it's much easier and safer to transport propane than gas. There was a Westinghouse competitor duel fuel option but the noise decibels were much higher. The extendable handle and wheels are a game changer for transporting around the campsite. Speaking of game changer...REMOTE START!!!! OMG we can start and stop this puppy from inside the RV. WHAT?!?!?! The only area of opportunity is the outer shell is easily scratched. Maybe a harder outer shell could be developed? Superficial but merits mention.

The perfect solution for operating an RV that doesn't have a built in generator. It's very quiet, duel fuel option, and you know it's a Quality unit if it's made by Westinghouse. And it's backed up by unmatched support. I highly recommend this generator.

I've only had this igen4500DF for a short while. But I've been testing it with load and it's been performing perfectly. The remote start works great, the engine runs smooth, and the metering is accurate. Using an oscilloscope the AC Output sine wave looks perfect. The stow away handle makes it easy to move the unit into place. Compared to my old open frame generator this iGen is super quiet.

I bought this generator in hopes that I could run a single generator to run all the equipment on my 5th Wheel RV. I ordered this and it came in perfect condition. I pulled it out and went through the setup by adding fuel, oil, and a few drops of Lukas Heavy Duty Oil on top of the piston head, hooked up the battery, and with one push of the starter button, it started right up! After going through a proper break-in of the generator I hooked it up to my 5th Wheel RV. I ran my AC, Microwave, TV, Refrigerator, lights, and fans, and this generator did not even blink. I am super happy with my purchase. To top it off it is quiet. I have a honda eu 2000i and my Westinghouse iGen4500 is similar in noise. That is impressive. Heading out to some dispersed dry camping and am thrilled to have this go with me.

The unit was easy to set up and everything worked as designed. I ran load tests on the unit and found it to respond well to small air conditioner compressor load changes. I am using it to power certain appliance at my home during power outages in California. There has been no problem in powering up my electronically controlled appliances such as my smart refrigerator, computers, and big screen TV, room air conditioner etc. The unit is relatively quiet and I love the efficiency mode. It is a good size unit for essential backup power. Minor complaint is that is does not have a 240VAC connection and the 30A power outlet is a three wire system (120VAC). This makes it a bit unconventional when connecting to a power transfer switch cabinet. I also wish it came with a longer propane hose for connecting to a tall 125 gallon propane tank. The hose supplied is generally used with a 5 gallon propane tank. Also it is not to be left out in the rain, so I will need to build an open air cover for the unit.
