Product is what I expected and when it was all hooked up it started on the second try. Like the LED read out but can get the hours read out to work. Everything I expected and looking forward to years of use. Nothing requiring immediate attension. except... Recieved product a little beat up but not so much I would reject. Even opened the box to look for the obvious and found none. After installing the battery I notice the front panel screws were not all the way "in" and appears that they had work done after left the factory..Partly stripped Phillips screws. No way to prove but may need some QA at the factory. The issue was they were cross threaded. Took out, chased them and reinstalled OK. Instruction to hook up propane non existent except to install to propane tank. Added the oil about 25% came back out. Must have had some oil in the engine from factory

So far so good. Lots of bang for the buck. Westinghouse igen4500df inverter generator. Dual fuel, remote start, 4500 Watts. A little heavier than what I was anticipating, however not too heavy. Looking forward to using this generator as we take our RV cross country.

Bought the generator a couple weeks ago. It started on the first try once I finished getting it ready. I was surprised that the battery wasn't secured before the generator was boxed up for shipment. Battery access opening could be larger and the rubber strap that is to hold battery in place should be secured with a fastener on the back side. It is very hard with the small opening to hold the strap up while putting the battery in the generator. Some sort of hook to hold the strap up while inserting the battery would be nice also. I don't look forward to replacing the battery when it eventually will be needed. The access panel to fill it with oil and then check the oil level could be bigger also. couple items that might have kept me from purchasing this generator if I had known about them before purchasing. Says it was built in Viet Nam, maybe they have smaller hands. Evidently they didn't want to secure the battery before it took the long journey to the United States. Maybe they thought it was a pain to do also since didn't do it. So far seems like a nice product which could be a lot better if the above modifications were made.

I bought this to replace a Honda EU3000is generator that I loved. Sadly, the Honda would never run our trailer air conditioner. Since everything is included, even a funnel to fill the oil, I took the box with us and I set this generator up over July 4th weekend. I did all the initial prep, it fired right up and after letting it run for a little while to break it in so to speak, I turned it off and connected the trailer to the RV plug. I restarted the generator and fired up the air conditioner and the power meter never went above 50%. It has a little bigger engine that the Honda, but I think it is easily as quiet as the Honda EU3000is generator was. The remote is a nice touch if you don’t want to go outside on a cold morning to start it.

I bought this generator because I am in a zone in California where our power company shuts off our power when it gets windy and dry during a Santa Ana wind event. I work at The Home Depot and most of our generators were sold out in the store by the time our first wind event started. I'm glad I wasn't impulsive and just bought any old generator, even though my power had been cut off twice in a week. I started researching and I noticed the Westinghouse generators had excellent reviews, better than the rest as a whole. What I wanted was something quite, electric and remote start, was able to power the tv, computer, the fridge, the toaster oven, microwave ,the water pump for the well, washer, dryer , a hot plate, and lights. Of course you can't run everything at once but I can run the fridge and the microwave and 3 bright 5000 lumen led lights at once. Just have to be careful what your turning on. It is very quite, not like rest of the generators in the neighborhood. I can barely hear it in the house. Very efficient too! Has a power saving switch where it runs at idle until you put a load on it so it saves fuel. I run it on propane because it's cheaper, cleaner and stores a long time unlike gas. This unit is for you if you like it quite and are not concerned with only running more than 2 major appliances at once, don't want to pull start an engine, save fuel and actually move it by yourself with relative ease with a telescopic handle.

Bought this back in October, 2021 to avoid another potential ice storm in Central Texas like in 2020. I have used the more conventional generators in the past for various events like for bouncy houses and P/A systems. Finding where to put those generators was always difficult as they were so loud. When I fired up the iGen4500 for the first time to do the initial 'burn-in', I thought maybe something was wrong how quiet it was and it wasn't even in eco mode. I read up on the benefits of an inverter generator but hadn't used one yet so I was happily surprised I wouldn't be keeping the neighbors up if we needed to run it later in the evening. I haven't had to use it with large equipment needing more power yet, the first will be in the spring (unless we hit another ice storm first). I chose the dual-fuel model as I prefer propane over regular gasoline. Easier to store and doesn't need any additives like stabilizer. Having it's own start-up battery was the final pro that convinced me. Reading that the battery will charge while the generator is on is an added bonus. I have a gas-powered pressure washer and I'm constantly having to remember to charge it before use or having to deal with the pull string. Inverter generators are known to be lighter in weight. It's still a combustible engine , with a built-in battery, so it still has some girth to it. I recommend two people to lift it up. The extendable handle works great and it's easy to move around. As I mentioned, I haven't had it very long with minimal use but extremely happy with the purchase!

The generator works as advertised so far. It is handy to be able to use either gasoline or propane to run this generator. It is very quiet, and appears to be powerful enough to power my new RV, although I haven’t been able to verify that just yet. The remote start is also a very nice feature. The unit did come with a crack in the housing case near the pull handle. This is only a cosmetic issue and doesn’t appear to affect the functionality of the unit. There was no damage to the original packaging, so this unit was shipped from the factory with this issue. Unfortunately, I didn’t discover the issue until it was too late, so now I’m stuck with it. At least the damage is only cosmetic at this point.

Exactly what I wanted. Quieter and more powerful than my previous generator. Love the the fact that it works on propane or gas right out of the box. Speaking of the box, it was a little beat up during the shipping but proved to protect everything inside the box.

As a 70 yr old woman living alone, my burning question was would the wheels allow me to move it on my own. FedEx delivered a day early & left it at the end of my long dirt driveway (since I didn’t expect it my gate was shut). I was able to unbox & wheel to cement carport where it will be used & I don’t believe moving will be a problem. I’ve had it less than a week but found it easy to set up & start using the remot start with gas.

This generator is very quiet and the information panel is incredibly helpful. The dual fuel option offers versatility and makes it easy to always have fuel on hand. The oil change compartment could be a bit bigger, but this is a minor issue. The push-to-start feature makes it easy to start and it started up the very first time. This is an excellent generator at a great price.
