Great generator!

Great package featuring quiet operation, remote start, and the advantages of an inverter generator. Started right off the bat after adding oil and gasoline. With the 2021 hurricane season underway, I’m confident that I have a reliable source of emergency power should the need arise. The only caution I’d offer for new buyers is to take care filling the oil. The provided funnel was a great help, but the horizontal fill tube and possibly a little oil in the crankcase resulted in an overflow when the oil (also provided) was added. Luckily, I’d put a few pieces of paper towel under the end of the fill tube and this captured about a tablespoon of oil that leaked out when the funnel was removed and otherwise would hav ended up in the bottom of the generator’s housing. Again, overall a great package!

Well designed Generator

I bought this online about a month ago. It arrived promptly and was well packaged, so there was no damage. It is fully assembled, except for oil and for charging the battery, so it is easy to prepare for first usage. The controls are clearly labelled and the instructions were easily understood. In terms of features, it is well designed, but there are two that I particularly like. This is an inverter generator, so the power output is less variable and safer for appliances/electronics. It also operators on Gas or Propane, which makes it more versatile in a variety of settings.

Runs well, some trouble starting

The generator runs well and fairly quiet. I live in a fairly dense suburb and it's probably too loud to run overnight on a regular day, but it is more than tolerable in an emergency situation. I did have trouble getting it started on gas when I only put in 1/4 tank. No problems starting it on propane, but switching from propane to gas would kill it and it would not start on gas. I added more fuel as a last resort and that seemed to solve the problem. Not sure why that fixed it but it runs great now.

Surprisingly quiet

I got this for home use. It arrived in good shape, with everything in the box that was supposed to be there. I added oil and (as noted in the instructions) there was some left in it so it didn't quite take the whole bottle. It started on the second try using propane and first try each time after that. I was expecting it to be quieter than my 20 year old open frame generator, but it was much quieter than what I had hoped for. It got as little louder with a 1200 watt vacuum cleaner connected and not in eco mode, but still very reasonable. At that load, you can stand 5 feet away with that load and have a conversation without speaking loudly. I haven't tried a larger load yet, but I doubt it will be annoying like the old generator.

The best all around Inverter

I was looking for a generator or inverter to have around my house and use with my camper. In case of no power camping or if we have a power loss. This thing works great for all of it. It is pretty heavy to pick up to put in my truck but has wheels to roll around anywhere else. Great all around inverter to have for anything.

Works Great. Excellent choice for Emergency outage

Used it with propane for 2 days during the Tropical Depression Beryl that left many of us in Houston without power for 2 days. I ran the fridge, a window AC, and all the house lights, even the the occasional microwave use and no hiccups at all. Easy to use and connect. I would highly recumbent this generator.

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.

Easy setup - Works 1st time

Bought this for emergency use during power outages. It was very easy to setup & everything worked perfectly straight out of the box. I plan to run this on propane only & couldn't be happier with purchase after much research. Very quiet operation is great for overnight operation

Great features

I was looking for maximum power in a dual fuel inverter generator. After a lot of research this is the generator I chose based on features and reviews. I am very pleased with my decision. The igen 4500DF is easy to use and extremely quiet. I recommended this to a friend who has also purchased this generator.

Off to a bad start

I bought 2 of these a month ago and just got them set up for emergency home power. On one the regulator is bad and neither one seems to have the juice to run a shop fan on propane. Something has to be wrong. I have left a message with WH. I will let you know the outcome. Can't recommend them as of this writing. Hopefully that will change soon.
