Purchased this generator for home outages due to weather (sub-tropical hurricane territory). I received the generator 06/09, and did an immediate inspection. All looked good. Did another look 06/10 while I read the manual to learn my way around the unit. Very straightforward for maintenance and repair. Put oil in it, and fired it up. Ran perfectly and really quiet! With proper maintenance, this generator should last me for many years.

The iGen4500DF has all of the features that I was looking for. Just received mine yesterday. It was quick to unpack, connect the battery, add the oil, and started for a test run. No problems on the initial run thru. I especially like the dual fuel option.

Just received the generator yesterday and today added oil, connected battery and added a small amount of fuel. I pulled the engine through about ten times with the recoil start with the unit switched OFF to make sure some oil was distributed. Then I switched it on, pushed the start button and it IMMEDIATELY cranked up and very quickly settled into a smooth idle. Apparently no auto choke connection issues as some reviews have noted. I let the unit run no load for about 90 minutes as a "break in" until out of fuel even though not indicated in the manual. I then removed the engine access panel to drain any remaining fuel from the float bowl. The float bowl drain screw is very small and in a very difficult position. You need a long shaft screwdriver with a small flat tip to undo the screw and tighten it and the screw seems made of rather soft metal. It's a real pain to get to and I doubt it will last. That's a problem for me as I usually drain a float bowl after every use if I'm going to leave an engine unused for any length of time. I use Sta-Bil in all gasoline for small engines but it's still possible for fuel to go bad if something sits a long time. I will have to run this unit more often, at least monthly even though I only need it for hurricane season. Also the access panels for the oil fill and the battery are just too small: period. I have small hand for my size but very long fingers and it was still difficult to perform then necessary tasks to set up the generator for first use. Westinghouse: make those opening an in larger in each dimension.

Just bought this and removed it from the box. No damage whatsoever and complete as described. Put the included oil in added gas connected the battery. Hit the start button and it fired right up and ran like a champ. Can’t wait to try this compact quiet generator out at a campsite.

We purchased a new larger fifth wheel RV and found that we needed more power when boondocking. The IGEN5000DF meets our needs perfectly! Love the 30 amp power outlet and remote start! This one is as quiet and maybe even quieter than our 2000 watt that we previously owned, (different brand). Thanks Westinghouse!

Generator was difficult to find in stock but it was well worth the effort. Took it out of the box, filled oil and attached the battery. It started immediately and power was there. This particular unit has ALL the features I wanted including dual fuel, remote start and very quiet. This is a 5 star generator and I would absolutely purchase again.

I just got this today, and follow the instructions as given. I was able to get the generator up and running w/in minutes. Very impressive. It starts on the first click on the remote. I look forward to its reliability and performance. From the 1st experience, I am giving it a high 5.

I have not put a large load on the generator. However, The generator was packaged well, it came with everything needed, other than fuel. I tested all functions of starting with both fuel types. Starts right up and is quiet. I plugged a few item in to make sure it was working properly. 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.

I bought my 1st iGen4500 in January 2021. The generator runs very quietly and provides enough power for our travel trailer. The only issue that I have is that I can’t get the generator to run on propane even after I ensured that the system was purged of all gasoline and the selector switch was set appropriately. Today was the first time I attempted to run the generator on propane with no success. I went through the troubleshooting procedures several times with no success, but I switched back to gasoline and it runs fine. Today (2/19/2022) I have contacted Westinghouse to find out how this issue can be resolved along with the current recall that I just found out about. Hopefully Westinghouse’s customer service is good and we can get everything taken care of. I would love to provide a update to my review after we get these issues resolved. I have faith that they will make things right. Don’t get me wrong, I believe this is an excellent generator that runs very quietly even with the issues that I am currently experiencing. I liked it so much, I purchased a second one last week along with a parallel cable so I can use the generators together during a power outage. I would recommend this generator to anyone. I have started our second iGen4500DF for the first time today using propane and it runs great.
