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.

Well prepared for the summer storm season! We bought in the spring so we could be ready in case the power went out for an extended period of time to ensure our chest freezer kept running and we did not lose any frozen food . I was able to set up and test with ease.

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.

I just purchased th 4000 watt gas/ propane inverter gen to use with my camper. I'm impressed with it's construction and the fact that Westinghouse includes everything you need to use it: oil, propane hose with regulator and generator connection cable for hooking up 2 gens. It also came with wheels installed and pull handle. Most other gens you buy you have to pay separately for all these extras. I really well built unit

We bought this for our camper that is sitting on 19 primitive acres that we purchased. We wanted a generator that met our needs for power supply & was easy to operate. We had another gas powered generator that wouldn't start all weekend, so I did my research & this seemed to be the best option. We have only used it one weekend, but it does everything you need it to do. We are quite happy with our purchase!

I received this generator two days ago, and upon taking it out of the box I inspected it and found it to be in very good condition. Following the instructions to the letter, I tried to start it on gasoline and it would not start. I hooked up a propane tank and it fired-up immediately. I kept trying to start it in the gas mode but it would not start. Finally, I ran it for a couple minutes on propane and then switched the fuel knob to gasoline and it continued to run on gasoline. subsequent tests with start and stop have been fine. I let it cool for approximately three hours and started it on gasoline mode. It started right away and seems to be fine. It is the quietest generator of this size that I have ever seen/heard. It is also very easy to use.

Bought this so we can go dry camping or when everything goes to crap. Tried it out and it works great. Can't wait to take it camping next year. It will allow me to take the wife to more remote places that don't have full hook ups, yet she will still be comfy and cozy.

Arrived quickly and was packed very well. Easy to set up and got it running within 10 minutes of unboxing. Appreciate that Westinghouse provided all the required tools to set up and run in the package. Ran for about 15 minutes on propane, started up quickly and ran great. So far I'm more than impressed. Looking forward to getting it out this spring and using it with my camper. Gave it 4 of 5 stars only because I don't have any long term use data as of yet but am confident it will work fine.

I love this thing! This generator really does the job as I expected. The generator is reliable and is able to power appliances that are essential during power outages in California. For those in doubt of product... You will be surprised of how great this thing is!!!

We have been looking for a back up power supply that had good features, is easy to use and is reasonably priced. The iGen4500DF fits the bill. Although I only picked it up just yesterday, I am very pleased with the unit. After filling the crankcase with the provided oil, and connecting the included (and charged) battery it started on the first press of the button. Note: the key fob (another great feature) worked first try too. After letting it warm up for few minutes, I connected it to our refrigerator and a couple of running shop tools in my garage and it handled the load no problem. While I do not look forward to loosing power in the future, I can now breath easier with the iGen4500DF in our garage.
