After much review and investigation, I decided that the Westinghouse brand was the best option for me. Also, the 5KW dual fuel was important. I plan on using it both with our Casita trailer and as a back up power source at our home. After unboxing it, the directions were clear once you get past all the "safety" language. I have two suggestions for the manufacturer: 1. I live in Texas; we use imperial numbers. If you are going to print measurements with the metric system (ie. oil needed is 0.6 L) add the imperial number in ounces as well. Had the oil that came with it not had 0.6L on the bottle, I would have had no idea of how much oil to add without going to the internet for a conversion. 2. Extend the throat for the oil reservoir so that it is closer to the side of the unit. Even with the provided funnel, it was hard not to get oil both inside the housing and on the floor. Easy fix is to extend the oil throat.

I bought this generator in early November and everything so far , from arrival condition to unboxing to set up has been flawless. The set up instructions were easy to follow and the quick start guide allowed me to start the generator both on electric start and pull start on the very first time. Everything looks sharp and it is well constructed. I could not be happier with this unit.

The generator was delivered as advertised. Set up was easy and very straight forward and the unit started right up. The features are great for my needs (camping/power outage) and it is quieter than I expected. Haven't had it long enough to give it a good functional test, but so far I am pleased with the purchase.

We got this because my husband is a first responder, so during storms I am alone with the kids. Last few storms we had no power for 10 days. We wanted something that I could do and not be afraid to handle. This is very easy to operate / roll out - I can do myself. I was AMAZED at how quiet it is. My neighbors couldn't believe how quiet it was either and now plan to purchase one themselves -

I love mine. The power is very clean and will run the expensive electronics and alot of what's sold won't. Also the quietness is special. Sitting on deck with sliding glass door shut we don't hear it in house. Starts easy and runs great after 3 years. DF is a blessing as well. I got one for my daughter and son in law 6 months before mine and they're very happy as well. I purchased an EcoFlow battery backup with solar panels and this generator and feel like I made the perfect decisions, you would too.

I bought this in July for a backup and to use around the place. Has sat on the covered patio since purchase and have run a little while every so often just to test. This month (4 months later) when trying, cannot get it to run on either gasoline or propane. Had an older open fram Westinghouse generator that I loved, so had high hopes for this one as far as noise level and capacity.

Purchased it for it for power outage and hope that I never need to use it. That being said, I am only using propane. Instructions were good and easy to follow. Started right up and ran for about 40 minutes so far. I tested several items and will run later toward fall after I do a little more research for possible main panel hook up.

We've been looking at generators for a while and the Westinghouse has by far had the highest rated reviews. This was easy to set up, it is extremely quiet. The manual is easy to understand. No problems switching from gasoline to propane. Remote start works great. Very happy with this purchase.

I could not get the battery connection fully seated through the small access panel. Had to remove the entire rear cover to get enough leverage. Filled it with gas and tried to start it with the electric starter. It just buzzed. Started with rope on the 2nd pull. Let it run for an hour while running a fan. Shut it down and tried the button. Fired right up! The supplied battery didn’t have enough charge to engage the starter. Hooked up a propane bottle and connected it to the house. Took two start attempts to purge the propane and get it running. Ran it .3 hours with a 1.2kw load. Burned about 2 gallons of propane.

Just purchased the Igen4500DF dual fuel with remote start. Very easy to set up out of the box. 2 recommendations. 1) use entire bottle of oil provided. They don't say in the instructions but its exactly the amount to fill the crankcase. 2) The battery may need overnight charging for the remote and push button start to work. Use trickle charge plug provided. The instructions don't give you that tip either. Otherwise, the unit pull started right up and is very quiet. Exactly what I need for my trailer camper.
