Great value and features

I bought this model specifically because of the features. I have only had it for about 5 days so I am still breaking it In. The KW capacity is the right size for me and the dual fuel capability is my hedge agains shortage on one or the other fuel type. I an not sure it is properly displaying the fuel level but all else appears to be showing correctly.

Worked great right out of the box

Purchased this for upcoming winter preparation. Initial testing went great on both gasoline and propane fuel. Was able to start via the push-button, pull-handle, and remote all as expected. Quiet (for a generator) operation, couldn't even hear it inside certain rooms of the house. Power output was smooth and as expected.

Great features and quiet!

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.

Perfect Design

First generator I've bought and very happy. Low noise, very easy to use, controls on the front and easy to read. Dual fuel so important because I can store propane easier that fuel, but if i'm going to have extended use I can use gas, or what's most available. My wife loves how easy she can connect propane and start the generator. Handle makes it very easy to move. We are very happy with this generator

Like size and portability

I have a larger generator that is great, but is difficult to transport. I wanted a smaller generator and something quieter (this is why I went with an inverter). This meets both criteria. I also like the ability to use either gas or propane. Good so far.

Phenomenal Generator

When I ordered this generator it was on backorder and I waited several months for it to arrive. It was well worth the wait and has exceed all my expectations. We had a bad ice storm in February and was without power for a week. This generator easily provided power for all my appliances I needed in the house. I was amazed on how long it runs on a tank of gas or propane with a good load on it. I love all the features with my favorite being the dual fuel capability. I've also taken it camping on numerous occasions and all my friends were so impressed with all its features and how quiet it ran. Two of my friends purchased one as soon as they returned home. Westinghouse hit a grand slam with this outstanding generator. So many features for an amazing price.

Seems Good To Go So Far.

Arrived quickly and was packed very well. Easy to set up and got it running within 10 minutes of unboxing. Appreciate that Westinghouse provided all the required tools to set up and run in the package. Ran for about 15 minutes on propane, started up quickly and ran great. So far I'm more than impressed. Looking forward to getting it out this spring and using it with my camper. Gave it 4 of 5 stars only because I don't have any long term use data as of yet but am confident it will work fine.

Not sure yet

I bought one of the regular gasoline Igen4500 last year and it was absolutely awesome. I just sold it to a friend to buy this Dual fuel model. When I first prepped it and started it, it had a little bit of noise. I thought it may be rod knock. I heat cycled it several times. then ran it at 1/4 load a couple of times and then changed the oil. The oil was silver with metal flakes in it. I ran the new oil for about 30 minutes and changed it again, more metal flakes in it. This was not the normal break in for the first unit I bought. We will see I guess.

Easy set up, first impression

Just unboxed and test started iGen4500DF. Easy assembly, hooked up to propane and started easily. Remote start works great from inside the house. Amazed how quiet it is. Cannot give much more of a review because this is a purchase I hope to not have to use any time soon (bought for emergency use only).

Love the Dual Fuel feature!

We haven't used it yet, but I feel so much better knowing that it's here! While the unit weighs around 100 lbs, and I being a smaller, older woman, I can still use the telescopic handle to maneuver and move the unit with relative ease. I also love the dual fuel feature, the remote starter and I have always been happy with Westinghouse products. Good purchase that gives me peace of mind that I can easily power my fridge and freezer to insure my food stores stay safe.
