I bought this generator this week, it seems to be a great value, I read and followed the start up instructions and it fired up easily, I have ran it on gas and propane, I have used the remote and the pull rope to start the generator and all seems to be working perfectly, I have been very impressed so far and would recommend this product

So far it's good haven't really used it but it is quiet . The openings for the battery and oil openings are like razor blades they could have smoothed out the plastic. The oil drain plug is almost impossible to get to. They could have just made the opening a bit bigger or moved it to the left.

I run sensitive equipment and must have an inverter generator. this is one of the more capable units out there. plus i can run it on propane.It has plenty of outlets and can run in parallel with another unit. I use it for my rv and to run essential circuits in the house when we loose power. Very happy with the generator

Why good for a woman? Let me explain. We live in Southern California and every year the Santa Ana winds kick up but last year was really bad and we lost power for several days. Since we did not expect this to happen we were unprepared. Our friends who had power let us lend their generator. I quickly learned that if I did not have a husband I would have been out of luck. I'm not some wimp here, I work out and I think I am decent shape but this thing was unruly, difficult if not impossible for me to move around, and I absolutely could not start it on my own since it was a pull start. Not too mention it made the loudest racket! Don't get me wrong I was grateful to have the power for several days but I thought, never again! So we bought this Westinghouse iGen4500. It took a bit to get started the first time since the automatic choke wasn't adjusting correctly and the instructions told us to fill the reservoir with the entire bottle of oil it came with which was waaay too much as it began spilling out! But once we got those issues sorted (my husband just manually adjusted the choke to get it started and then after that it did it on it's own every time) this thing was so easy to start since it has a push button start (in addition to the pull start) and it even has a remote! It is super quiet and it has a telescoping handle and large wheels so I can easily move it around! Why everything in life isn't made to be this easy beats me.

I bought the igen4500DF 20 days ago and am impressed with the quality and features. I have only run it with gas so far, but I'm confident this unit will meet our needs. The left side panel was cracked upon delivery. I was able to contact support easily on a Sunday. The parts department obviously wasn't open an but a case was opened. I am sure this will be resolved quickly.

Once I got it set up, it started right away, and wow was I surprised how quiet it was. My wife and I were able to talk right next to it without raising our voice to hear each other. My only challenges I had were due to my bigger hands. The opening for the oil was tough to work with due to the smaller opening and my big hands. It would be helpful if that opening was made bigger. Also don't pour the entire bottle of oil in. I did according to the directions and although the entire bottle did go in without overflowing, there was too much added and I had to remove some. Second thing is to tighten the LP connection on the unit before connecting the hose to it. I didn't, and when I went to disconnect it, it spun and would not come off. After a bit I was able to get some needle nose pliers to hold the connector and take the hose off. Then tighten down the connector on the generator with the open ended tool they provide. All in all really impressed with the product and looking forward to using it throughout the summer. Being duel fuel is a great bonus!

After many years of deliberation about buying a generator, I finally buckled down did my homework and have been completely satisfied with my purchase of the igen4500 DF. Very quiet and reliable, didn't expect the added bonus of remote start! Brilliant. I have a friend who bought the same model. Peace of mind knowing I can run the sump pump and keep fridge going if we lose power.

Shipping delayed, ordered generator 9/8/2021 & didn't receive it until 9/18/2021. Opened the box on 9/20/2021 and right out of the box, the regulator did not work. Registering the generator before we even cranked it so that we can get support for the regulator. It is a very impressive looking generator with really nice features. We just hope the generator runs once we get a new regulator.

I bought this generator in hopes that I could run a single generator to run all the equipment on my 5th Wheel RV. I ordered this and it came in perfect condition. I pulled it out and went through the setup by adding fuel, oil, and a few drops of Lukas Heavy Duty Oil on top of the piston head, hooked up the battery, and with one push of the starter button, it started right up! After going through a proper break-in of the generator I hooked it up to my 5th Wheel RV. I ran my AC, Microwave, TV, Refrigerator, lights, and fans, and this generator did not even blink. I am super happy with my purchase. To top it off it is quiet. I have a honda eu 2000i and my Westinghouse iGen4500 is similar in noise. That is impressive. Heading out to some dispersed dry camping and am thrilled to have this go with me.

I was alittle concerned with how noisy this may be as a 5000w generator, but it is quieter than my 2200 Honda quiet!. Easy to move with the wheels and super easy and convenient to start. I bought it for the duel fuel capability and it doesn't disappoint! I dry camp 99.9 percent of the time and this will allow for a great many years of fun
