Perfect!

Wow! I love this generator. It is dependable, quiet and powerful; far & above anything I've owned in a smaller generator prior. The remote start, sound level, system monitoring and portability is exactly what I was hoping for in a generator we could use both at home for back-up power as well as away with our camper. I am a long-time motor head from Detroit in my 60's and really scrutinized this thing upon arrival to see how they approached it and was thoroughly impressed with the build and finish. The dual-fuel capability was important and this unit does not disappoint with change-over from (gas) to (propane) and back again seamlessly. You hit it out of the park Westinghouse!

Great Features

Doing the review to get the cover. Only run the generator a short time. Started easy on gasoline and propane. If you put in the whole bottle of oil as instructed about 4 ounces will run out. The carburetor bowl drain screw is not as shown on the instructions. It is difficult to get to.

Not sure yet

I bought one of the regular gasoline Igen4500 last year and it was absolutely awesome. I just sold it to a friend to buy this Dual fuel model. When I first prepped it and started it, it had a little bit of noise. I thought it may be rod knock. I heat cycled it several times. then ran it at 1/4 load a couple of times and then changed the oil. The oil was silver with metal flakes in it. I ran the new oil for about 30 minutes and changed it again, more metal flakes in it. This was not the normal break in for the first unit I bought. We will see I guess.

Great Inverter Genset

We bought a Westinghouse genset in the Spring of 2023. People loved that generator So Much; they cut the security cable and Stole the Unit out of the garage Sept. 29th of this year. Well we just loved having the genset, so we replaced it this month. TGFI.

Beyond pleased!

I have been waiting for these to come back in stock, and I am so pleased to now have this dual fuel generator. I always have propane tanks on hand, but hate storing gasoline, so this is perfect for our uses. Much quieter than open frame generators, and the remote start is a useful addition. The low THD allows this to power our smart fridge and sensitive electronics, something the open frame generators cannot do. I am very pleased Westinghouse, thank you!

Runs great, could be easier to maintain

Love the way it runs, smooth and quiet compared to my old Generac. Access to oil fill through access panel is difficult due to tight fit and my hands aren't exactly large. Be careful when adding fuel for the first time - the screen filters will back up the flow if you pour too fast. Other than those growing pains I would recommend the unit.

Little power house

I bought this to power my RV and I have berly seen it go above the 25 % . It run good and it's quiet I cant hear in side the RV its not to heavy I was abel to lift it waist high to service it at the 25 houre mark. Over all i am very happy with it. I gave it a 4 because the oil fill hole was very tight for my hand to do the oil drain,

Very solid machine

Bought this unit for my travel trailer and home emergencies. The unit feels very solid and well built. It's noise level is better than I expected. I like all of the features and the meter display is nice, so there's no guessing when to change the oil and other routine services. Very complete package with great manuals. Haven't taken it boon-docking yet and I'm excited to use it Great warranty compared to other makes.

Small, quiet, easy to use

Just bought this so have no long term usage history. I bought it because of how highly rated Westinghouse generators are on some of the more reliable rating sites. It is small, relatively light, and quiet when running. I have have had a terrible time maintaining gas powered open-frame generators since I only use them as back-ups to the house power. I bought this specifically because of the option of using propane, which I intend as the ONLY fuel I will use in it. I also like the option of running two generators in parallel which (with a second generator) offers me the capability of a "whole house" system, since I have a small house. My only carp is the operators manual does not cover everything you need to know and some items are contradictory. That is understandable in that I am sure Westinghouse is constantly improving their products and consumers cannot afford for them to constantly reprint the manuals. Specifically, in stopping, the manual says to "turn the battery switch to the off position" whilst the Quick Start Guide says to "Put the engine run/stop switch in the RUN position and pull choke". (Yes I read all the little pieces of paper that came with the generator). Obviously the Quick Start Guide is talking about an open frame generator since there is no readily accessible choke on my model. One piece of paper says the the parallel cable are included, another says they are not. (They are not) A battery charger is included with NO instructions on when, where, or how to use it, and the manual states that the battery charges whenever the generator is running. I do have concerns with the long-term durability since it is covered in plastic and two of the doors popped off while I was unpacking it, but everything went back together properly. All in all, so far, I am very pleased with the generator. The next power outage will be the true test. Hurricane season is coming.

Happy in a townhouse

I live in a townhouse and didn't want to alienate my neighbors with the noise of a traditional generator at night. This is plenty to run our fridge, a fan, modem and coffee maker/ toaster oven when needed during the increasingly common power outages in HTX.
