Great Reliable Power and QUIET

I just bought this generator this month and set up was easy. I set it to run with propane gas and it started very easily/ no issues and I was very happy with how quiet it runs. I use it to power a portable A/C unit and it has been great. I have ethanol free gasoline in case I want to use it. Hurricane season is here so it's great to have peace of mind with this generator.

Westinghouse iGen5000DFc Generator

I just bought this Westinghouse Generator after Hurricane Helene, because I was caught off guard and almost 3 days without electricity, very easy to configure, it is not that heavy, and its functions are easy to understand, I loved starting with the remote control, I also tried starting from the electric button, I highly recommend it, it is an investment that you will not regret.

Looks good so far

Just unpacked my 4500DF. Packaging was great and despite the shipping company's best efforts, it arrived unscathed. Upon initial inspection, I'm glad I purchased this unit. The accessory kit is superb. Save the oil container to refill for your next oil change. I'm hoping this generator serves me for many years but time will tell.

Compact and lightweight, quiet generator

Just received my Westinghouse iGen4500DFc. I’ve just got it through the break in period and it’s the smartest purchase I’ve made. Super Low Sound, powers my whole trailer and is super efficient on Propane. The digital screen and remote start is such a huge bonus compared to other brands. Big enough to make great power yet small enough to pack around by yourself. Worth every dime.

Want to love it.

This thing has so many useful features I'm hoping it will live up to my expectations. It's off to a shaky start, though. On the plus side, the operation is easy and straightforward. Love the electric start! Love that it has an RV electrical outlet as well as standard 120V outlets. Love the dual-fuel capability. I added gas and oil (more on that shortly), left the run switch off and pulled the starter cord a few times to make sure oil was circulated. Turned the switch to on, pushed START and voila, up and running. The operating manual cautions against running it with no load so I verified it was running smoothly then shut it off. Now for the not so good. I have to agree with other reviewers. Adding oil is a bit awkward. Not nearly as awkward as draining and changing it is going to be. More bad - my unit is leaking oil. At first the leak was fairly significant. I think one possibility for it is that there may have been some residual oil in the engine left over from factory testing. I followed the directions in the manual and added the whole container supplied with the unit and, since you can't actually see what's happening while you're adding the oil, it may have overflowed and that's where the dripping is coming from. The dripping has slowed (after about 20 hours) but it's still there. I'm going to give it another day to see if it stops before I contact tech support. Other than that, it seems to be an excellent product and well worth the money.

versatile

purchased this power plant at the end of Oct. I have tested now for the past several months. At the beginning, when using with propane, the engine was running rough and the generator did not produced enough energy. When using gas, the engine runs wonderfully. After starting with gas and switching over to propane, the engine runs just fine. We'll continue testing and keeping an eye on it

So far so good!

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.

Much quieter than I expected

My primary use for this to power the 5th while boondocking. After unpacking, adding oil, fuel, and connecting the battery, it started right up. It was much quieter than I had anticipated. Sitting at idle, my wife and I were able to hold a conversation without raising our voices while standing right next to it. I will primarily be using propane for fuel. I did a test run to see how much I can run on it. I can run either one of my two A/Cs, one which is 15k btu and the other is 13.5 btu, but not both at the same time. With one A/C running, I can power my residential refrigerator, water heater, water pump, and all of the lights. If I add soft starts to my A/Cs, I could probably run everything. With trailer power cord almost fully extended, I cannot hear the generator running. Very pleased with this unit so far.

Nice product

I purchased my first iGen4500DF a little over a month ago. It arrived and I checked it all over before getting started to be sure nothing was cracked or broken. Everything looked great. I hooked the battery up, put the oil in and filled it with gas. I tried to start it and it would not fire. After several attempts I realized it was not getting fuel. I hooked the propane up and it started right away. I let it run for a few minutes and tried running it on gas again. No luck. I went through the instructions a few times looking for a gas shut off but I couldn’t find anything of assistance. I checked online and found people had problems with the choke so I tried that with no success. I checked the bowl and got fuel. I contacted Westinghouse for help. I was told it was a faulty unit and they provided me with an email to start a claim. After a couple days they sent me another email letting me know I could return the generator to the store before the 30 days was up. I ordered a new one and then returned the first one without issue. The second generator arrived and the box was beat up but the everything inside appeared fine. This time it started on gas and propane without issue. This is a nice generator and runs quiet. I like having the option of gas or propane and feel it was worth the extra money. Overall I think this is a good generator and I understand sometimes even new parts are not manufactured properly. I believe the issue with my first generator was the fuel selector switch but I did not want to get to far into a repair or claim since I was able to return it without issue.
