I’m glad I bought this generator. It’s it good value and great quality. I was originally looking at a Honda but this generator has over twice the power, accepts propane, and is still pretty quiet. Seems to be decent quality so far. Runs both my fridges and coffee maker at 25% capacity. Should work great for what I need!

Ready to go pretty much out of package. Only issue is there is an oil door and the instructions say to take off engine cover to get to oil. Directions need to be fixed on the quick start fuse as well as owners manual. Otherwise we are looking forward to a quality inverter for our RV.

I just bought this generator and have only started it a couple of times. Once on gas and once on propane. I was amazed at how quiet it is. The build quality is great and I love that they supplied everything I needed to get it going. Kudos to Westinghouse.

shipped quick was well packaged put oil gas in it connected the battery(very easy) and it started right up and did what it is designed to do it is almost silent the only down is the serial nr is on a paper tag on the back and the numbers rubbed off in shipment

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.

I would have given it 5 stars but for the "leak" at the carb bowl drain. Upon breaking in the motor, I shut off the engine after 3 hours of run time and stowed it away until I could get back to breaking it in some more. When I went to finish the break-in run, there was a strong gas odor. So, I removed the panel and noticed gas was in the drain hose attached to the carb bowl. I opened the valve all the way and then closed it. A small piece of debris slid down the plastic hose. It hasn't "leaked" since.

I had been researching a generator for our new RV and believe we made the right choice on the Westinghouse IGEN4500DF. Once I took it out of the box and read the instructions I finished setting it up. Only downfall I had from instructions was for me to fill entire bottle of oil into the engine. I didn't use it all but still it was leaking out. Cleaned up the excess and closed the drain plug. Hooked up the Propane and put enough gas in to start. Okay, now I ready to start. It took a couple of tries and review of instructions but it started up. Then I switched over to Propane and you can here it convert. Let it run for a little bit and switched back to gas seamlessly. Remote worked like a charm. I can't wait to take it out camping and enjoy my new Westinghouse I GEN4500DF.

I purchased this generator because it used both propane and gas, ran very quietly, and created very clean power for use with electronics. Once I had the generator home, I put in oil, followed the other setup steps, and the unit started right up! We like the fact that our small camper can plug right in. We're glad we made this purchase.

Just bought this and did the 5 hour break in. I used a heat gun to fluctuate the power as instructed for break in process. I changed the oil after break in. I found some small metal flakes in the used oil. Not sure if this is normal or not. It seemed to operate properly

I researched many generators over the past few weeks and talked to a few of my friends. I purchased this Westinghouse iGen5000DFc Dual Fuel Inverter generator to help with the local power outages in Texas. I watched a few videos and set it up yesterday. This is a well built generator and I'm happy with my purchase.
