Easy start-up, works great, remote start works great, great features like digital display power and fuel usage, love compact size and operationally quiet. I just purchased so haven't put it to a great test as of yet. But so far, it looks and operates great out of the box.

I just purchased the iGen4500DF because of the features, duel fuel, and remote start! Can't wait to be in my trailer on a chilly evening and be able to start my generator from inside! This little baby was packed well and came undamaged! Instructions are well laid out down to when you should complete general maintenance. All items were accounted for in the box and can we talk about the extended handle for easy moving!

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!

I purchased this in July of 2022. Started right up - right out of the box. Will admit that the oil fill location is a bit hard to navigate. Made a mess trying to fill. Have used on some light duty activities - works great. Have connected to my camper - will run all appliances and the AC unit and only works the genset at about 40%. Has been a little hard starting in cold weather - but not an issue. Did a good bit of research to find something that was quiet when running next to the camper. You barely hear this. In fact the AC on the camper makes more noise. At 10 feet away - about 65db. Would definitely recommend this unit. Oh and great to have the pull handle to maneuver around

The generator was easy to set up and get running. It worked well for us when they had to shut our power off to upgrade our breaker box. It started right away and didn't have any issues. We ended up having to run it for about 10 hours, and it hummed along nicely. The noise level was nice, and was barely audible through our closed back door about 15 feet into our back yard. We plan to use this mainly for camping, but also for backup power for our fridge in the event of a power outage. It so far has worked nicely for us.

Was looking for an inverter generator for my home and my fifth wheel RV. The Westinghouse iGen4500Dfc is perfect. It is big enough to handle a home power outage and powering my RV, yet compact enough to carry in the bed of my truck when on the road. Plus, it is amazingly quiet and dual fuel. Easy to setup and get running right out of the box. Love the performance monitor built into the front panel. Have not used the remote yet, but it is just another great feature of all the great features for the price of this generator.

4.5 Stars. This extremely quiet. My car engine is louder than this thing when idling. Running off of propane makes for an extremely clean burn. Even though the generator can use gasoline, I have no intention of using it with anything other than propane. The only issue I found was with the generator in **Economy Mode** when running at under 700 watts: Occasionally the power would drop out for about 1/10th a second every 10-20 minutes or so, which can, but not always, cause desktop computers to reboot that aren't on a UPS unit (laptops won't need this). Even though the inverter should supply clean power, is is still a very good idea have your electronics on a surge suppressor/UPS when on a generator. The youngster in the house failed to follow instructions and put his computer on the UPS for the generator and transfer switch test, which is how this was discovered. Generator was run at ~1100Ft elevation, so there was no need for an elevation kit.

I originally purchased the gas version. I has a display problem right out of the gate. I took it back and ordered the Dual Fuel. I had to wait for 6 weeks to get it, but I'm glad I did. This unit came well packaged and just about ready to roll. Connect the battery, add oil and gas (propane or gas) and your done. The only complaint I have is the oil. It comes with a nice fill spout but..... I know every unit is test run and requires oil for that. But, you should make sure to drain all oil. I had a bit of a over flow problem and it made a mess. Did not know I was over filling until I removed the oil fill tube. Not the end of the world but none the less a pain to clean up.

Well packaged. The manual is very detailed. It even shows you how to measure the rocker arm clearance. Detailed wiring schematics. I have not yet had a chance to run the generator but have inspected the item. Will update after I run through the break-in phase.

We purchased this unit to power our RV/Ice Fishing House combo with a 30 amp outlet. I was really excited to find a unit that ran on both gas / propane AND had a remote start for the cold mornings out on the ice! So far, I've put about 5 hours on the unit during the break-in procedure (so note -- there is a break in process -- read the directions!). Unit starts easily with electric starter, chain pull, or via remote and powers my RV/Ice House without issue (AC, microwave, TV, etc at same time). Switching from gas to propane is simple and can be done without shutting the unit down (if you already have propane connected). I didn't notice any change in performance switching across fuels. I've never owned a generator before, but the noise isn't overbearing and is barely audible when inside the RV. I docked 1 star for two annoyances. First, I only put in about a gallon of gas at a time as I wanted to run out the gas during break-in. Even though the unit comes with a digital fel gauge, it seemed to have a hard time registering that small - but sufficient - amount of full and showed me on "E" with no time remaining yet the unit kept running and running and running. Will see if issue persists if I actually fill it full. Second, changing the oil is a bit of a pain. First off, the unit comes empty but does include a bottle of basic SAE 30. I utilized the included oil for break-in and with a plan to switch over to synthetic 5w-30 for better cold temp performance (which is fine/recommended per the manual). The directions state that the entire bottle of the included oil should be used on the initial fill, but I found that I slightly overfilled the well trying to use up the whole bottle. There is a small plastic plug in the bottom of the unit you can use to drain back out some of the oil, but this is really just for spills and overflow and is still hard to access, leaving oil over some of the interior. After running for the 5 hours, I switched the oil -- and this is the real annoyance -- there is no separate oil drain. You have to try to hold the included funnel OVER the oil well and then tip it back out. Even being careful, it's awkward to hold the funnel over the top while balancing a 100 lb generator on it's sides -- despite my best efforts, more oil managed to spill, again leaving more oil in the interior compartment. There are numerous "nooks and crannies" in there, so it's virtually impossible to wipe up all the oil. So through the first 5 hours, performance seems great and exactly what I wanted and dual fuel flexibility is great as I'd rather carry an extra propane tank than have have gas tank slushing around. Only complaint is oil changing process. Would buy again!
