I got it out of the box, added the oil, hooked up the battery. The first few times I tried it didn't crank. I gave it about a hour and tried it again and if fired right up. We have a fifth wheel camper and it will be perfect dry camping for football weekends. I have also found some good info on youtube for maintenance.

Last month we lost power for 5 days due to a hurricane. We did not own a generator and lost food in both our refrigerator and our full freezer in the garage. Afterwards, I researched generators and with the excellent reviews and the features we desired, the Westinghouse was what we decided upon. We are so thankful to have it sitting in our garage now!

This is the first generator I've ever used. I'll say that my expectations were blown away with the quality and functionality of it. Particularly the remote start and noise levels. I was expecting a "3rd time's the charm" for the remote start, knowing that its uncommon for generators. However, it started up within a matter of seconds without hesitation. As for the sound of it, it is much quieter than expected. Much quieter than a lawn mower, and that's not even with the Eco mode activated. with Eco mode its barely noticeable. Great product.

Just delivered today. Added oil, connected battery, hooked up propane tank and it started up right away. Tested a 950W Microwave oven that drew 25% of rated propane load and all was good. Small, quiet, and transports well with wheels and handles. Oil compartment a bit too small for my taste but no problems to access.

The generator started right up after adding the supplied oil and a little gas. Remote start is the best. Make sure to keep the battery charged to last overnight or it will go dead and remote start won't work. Haven't tried the unit on propane yet (might get 5 stars after I do) but runs quiet on gas and has plenty of power. Purchased and installed the high altitude injector in the carburetor for our camping locations.

Unpacking and setup was easy. I have only had it for one day. Have tested startup on gasoline and propane under minimal load with no issues. Used the electric start which was very nice. Also tested the pull start which was easy but it was after the generator was already warm. Will have to test when engine is cold or better yet make sure the battery stays charged. Very nice, feature rich generator. My only frustration was adding the initial oil. Instruction said add engine oil before starting. Specs said oil capacity is 0.6 liters. The supplied bottle of 10w30 oil was labeled 0.6 liters. Poured entire bottle of oil into engine using the supplied screw-in funnel. Removed supplied funnel and engine was overfilled spilling oil into the generator shroud and leaking oil onto the garage floor. Very frustrating. The supplied screw-in opaque funnel inhibits you from seeing the oil level while pouring the oil into the engine.

Just purchased this generator and very impressed with its setup. Love all the features and the designs. Connected the battery, put oil and gas in it, it fired right up using/testing all 3 start methods (push button, remote and pull cord). Tested the output and all voltages look good. Will update if needed after we go camping.

I’ve long had a VERY NOISY generator to use as home back up. So noisy that immediately after power is restored if I don’t turn the generator off immediately i get banged with a list of text requests to Please turn it off from neighbors. The unit arrived on time , no damage. Very easy set up and VERY quite comparatively. Starts very easy and I love the built in battery tender.

Ran flawlessly for a week straight after Hurricane Ida. The generator was whisper quiet and produced enough power to run multiple refrigerators, a portable A/C, some lights, and charge phones. The unit is light enough that two people could easily move it to higher ground to prevent the generator from being flooded. I highly recommend the iGen4500DF.

runs well so far. have gone above and beyond on servicing. had an issue recently with it not starting and the battery going dead. playing with that currently. spark plug seemed to be the culprit of the no start issue. when a load is applied, it sometimes sounds like it is hitting the rev limiter momentarily, I assume it is supposed to. its display isnt the most accurate in the world, but its features are still a mice addition.
