Jury's out

Just received. Very easy to get started. Funnel for oil is conveniently threaded. No mess. Unfortunately the unit won't stay running. Troubleshooting says check oil, fuel, and if not that call for the low oil sensor faulty. Well, fresh fuel and full of oil. Nobody there on a weekend to help. Along with this, the data center board doesn't seem to work either

Great sized generator and features

I bought this generator for the house because I did not want a large whole house, expensive generator. This unit is sized right for keeping refrigerator/freezer running during power outages during storms, dual fuel is great and the remote start feature is very nice.

Easy to Operate, and quiet!

This is definitely a well-designed and well-built inverter generator. The unit is compact and relatively light weight for the amount of power it generates. The electric starter worked perfectly after the included battery is charged overnight. It is fairly quiet during operation, especially when it is set to the "Eco" mode. All in all, this generator is well worth its price!

Perfect for Emergency Power outages

Just purchased and very happy that we will have a unit when the power goes out again...just went through frigid temperatures over 22 hours, never again with this unit. Runs on Gas or Propane...and I can started from inside the house...looking forward to using it. The unit is very heavy, but has wheels and a handle right out of the box...just another bonus

IT'S QUIET!!

I scoured the internet for all the qualities I wanted in an invertor generator and found them in this Westinghouse. I completed its break-in period in my backyard without a peep from the neighbors. It's quiet enough to be around while you talk on the phone.

Meets my needs

I have had this generator for almost a month and have used it to run power tools and with my camper. It has plenty of power and is pretty quiet. Only problem I've had is forgetting to turn off the battery and I haven't been able to pull start it when the battery is dead.

Works great!

We bought 2 weeks ago hoping to not use but we had high winds this past weekend and power was out for 4 days and the generator was so easy to use. Started without a hitch. Ran flawlessly. We were able to run everything but the well and electric stove. Ran on eco mode overnight without having to add fuel. Highly recommend. Only wish that would have been able to have the well work too. Will also be taking them camping.

Dual Fuel

Bought this a couple days ago for occasional power outages (once or twice a year). Using propane tank (have not put gas in) to avoid having to drain or worry about gas getting old. Runs well so far, but only used 1 hour. Have not had outage to test for longer use.

Dual-Fuel Inverter Generator review

I bought this generator for emergency back-up & to power my Makita electric chainsaw when removing dead & unwanted trees. I used it for a week to cut down dead & unwanted trees from 6-20" in diameter with a corded Makita 16" chainsaw. The generator functioned flawlessly, is very quiet, starts easily, & the remote eliminates a lot of walking back & forth to turn it on/off. The extendable handle is a nice feature but feels flimsy when pulling the generator to different sites in a bumpy acre lot for tree cutting.

Ran great on initial test

I purchased this generator for backup home power in the event of power failure. The iGen 4500DF was easy to set up except for a couple of missteps on my part. I over filled the oil reservoir. This was probably due to some residual oil in the engine from the factory test. I added most of the .63qt bottle. The reservoir is supposed hold .6 qt. it overflowed when I removed the funnel. The excess leaked out of the bottom of the case for a short time. On start up I added about a quart of gasoline to the tank. This apparently was not enough to get it running. It would almost turn over from time to time. It showed low fuel on the digital display. So I added some more fuel and that solved the problem. The start up with propane was perfect. It ran a little rough for a few minutes but then smoothed out. I ran it with several small loads plugged in for about a half and hour. It appeared to function properly. I experimented with switching back and forth from gas to propane and that went well. I am pleased with the generator so far.
