This is my first generator and I bought it based on positive reviews and brand recognition. I've just finished the suggested “break in” process, and everything has worked as described and expected. I'm very pleased with this unit. Now I can't wait for our first ice storm and power outage.

Purchased for emergency backup power. Filled with oil and connected LP gas — started and ran no problem. Manual doesn't mention it but you only need to engage the choke until engine sputters once. Then half choke to start and off choke when it begins running. One bolt was loose and rattled out (from inside the front handle) but it went back in easily using a 5/16” nut driver.

We love the power we get from the generator and the extra features it comes with. It has remote start, which is amazing for our trailer renters who don't want to go out in the cold to start it up at night. it also has a large fuel tank and will last for hours on a reasonable load. We also love the dual fuel feature because it gives our renters flexibility.

I bought one this month. The oil compartment is tight hard to get to, it was easy to overfill the oil spout, it dripped all over the ground, hard to get the plastic cap back on. The battery compartment is also tight. Other than that this is an excellent quiet generator so far

Arrived quickly. Packed well. All items listed arrived. Everything provided but the gas. First step in "Before Starting" quick start guide was wrong. Picture removing engine service cover and adding oil in this area. They provide an oil access panel on opposite side of machine to add or drain oil. Engine access panel does not need to be removed during quick set up. The wheels and pull handle are a great touch for handling the weight of this machine. Does have two (2) sturdy lift handles for two people to lift generator when necessary. Directions in manual are written pretty well for info on how to operate the machine.

This thing has so many useful features I'm hoping it will live up to my expectations. It's off to a shaky start, though. On the plus side, the operation is easy and straightforward. Love the electric start! Love that it has an RV electrical outlet as well as standard 120V outlets. Love the dual-fuel capability. I added gas and oil (more on that shortly), left the run switch off and pulled the starter cord a few times to make sure oil was circulated. Turned the switch to on, pushed START and voila, up and running. The operating manual cautions against running it with no load so I verified it was running smoothly then shut it off. Now for the not so good. I have to agree with other reviewers. Adding oil is a bit awkward. Not nearly as awkward as draining and changing it is going to be. More bad - my unit is leaking oil. At first the leak was fairly significant. I think one possibility for it is that there may have been some residual oil in the engine left over from factory testing. I followed the directions in the manual and added the whole container supplied with the unit and, since you can't actually see what's happening while you're adding the oil, it may have overflowed and that's where the dripping is coming from. The dripping has slowed (after about 20 hours) but it's still there. I'm going to give it another day to see if it stops before I contact tech support. Other than that, it seems to be an excellent product and well worth the money.

Not wanting to get caught in another winter storm in North Texas we decided to purchase the iGen4500DF… this little unit is awesome! Set-up is simple and takes just minutes… once we added oil into the generator and connected the battery cables she fired right up. We had tested the unit out by connecting various electrical devices and she purred like a kitten… steady clean electricity. I'm not looking forward to another power outage in North Texas but if it comes we're ready thanks to our little iGen4500DF.

This Westinghouse inverter was very easy to set up. It is quiet and starts quickly. Have started it with the pull rope and push button. I like the ability to run of propane. Westinghouse includes the kit to connect to the propane bottles. It also shows the current load on the inverter.

Just got this generator. filled it with oil, charged the battery and it started right up. Hooked it up to my camper from 125 feet away with extension cords and turned everything on except for the roof air. It was running about 25% load. Very quite. Raining bad this week. When it dries out I will bring it out to the camper and hook up the 30 amp plug and run the A/C to. I'm excited to hook up to the house when the power goes out. The old generator was so loud, kept me awake. This will be so much better and quiter. Love the digital readout.

This genertator is exactly as billed. Powerful, reliable and extremely easy to move around thanks to the built-in handle. I am glad I got it. This is my second Westinghouse. My off grid property runs solely on the generator. I have run a heater, microwave, vacuum, and portable AC on it. It works great!
