My generator was manufactured in July 2020 so was not affected by current recall. No damage noticed upon unpacking, no rust in gas tank. Have started and run on propane only which went flawlessly so can only hope that I don't suffer auto choke issues.

I purchase this item from Amazon.com and upon receiving the generator I found it well packaged and no shipping damage. After following the simple setup which include the necessary motor oil it started on the first try using the remote and propane. I knew the IG4500 DF was suppose to be quite but I was surprised how good it was using propane. I also thought the build quality was very good with easy access to the battery and oil compartments. The data center was also a nice feature and seems to work well. I feel considering the power capability and feature set of this generator that the price I paid was reasonable. I have only had it for a couple of weeks but so far I am very happy with my purchase.

Kept my refrigerator, freezer, and other needed appliances going for three days during power outage at my house. Will also use for camping as it is more quiet than any other I have heard. Powerful enough to keep entire camper going including A/C. Very easy start.

I just received my generator and am very impressed so far. Generator was packed well with Styrofoam surrounding it and was in great condition right out of the box. I bought this generator to power my RV and wanted a quiet running dual fuel generator which this is. It has a remote start and all the features I was looking for. It is a great looking unit and I should get good use out of it.

I needed a generator to use with our RV trailer. I live on the Gulf Coast with frequent Hurricanes. Due to the hurricanes gasoline is sometimes hard to find so I knew I wanted something dual fueled. The Westinghouse 4500DF is dual fueled. I wanted a generator to power my Travel Trailer with the correct 30amp jack to power my camper. The 4500 has the proper jack for campers. Remote start for when I don't want to start or stop the generator early in the morning or in the middle of the night. I wanted a large fuel tank that would allow me to run over night. I wanted something to tell me how much fuel was in the tank, what voltage I was running, how long I had until the fuel was out, and when I needed to change the oil and other maintenance. The 4500DF has all of those features. I needed something that was electric start. What if my battery is down? Can I pull start it? Yes to both. I needed something quiet. I needed something reliable. With the Westinghouse IGen4500DF I picked the generator that was right for me. I looked at other generators and they had some similar features, but not all of the ones the Westinghouse had. I considered many other brands but for the price the Westinghouse offered what I needed. And in addition 4500 starting amps I got more than I was looking for. I have used this generator for almost a year. It starts first time still. At 98lbs, I can load it on our truck. I have run my 4500 for over 15 hours on one tank of fuel, (I fueled it before it ran out of fuel). It came complete with everything you needed to use propane including the propane regulator. After using my generator for almost a year I am glad I picked the Westinghouse IGen 4500DF.

I just received this a couple of days ago and the set up was easy. i connected it to propane turn on the switch pushed the remote start and it came to life. Add a 1000w load and let it run for 20min for a test run. post the remote off and it shutdown. Did a video and sent to my other family members. This will be great for over night fishing. Love it!

There is a wire harness for the choke that you need to open up multiple panels to access and plug in. I am not sure why this is but the reason I found out was through YouTube after I became extremely frustrated. After that it works like a charm. That should be explained when purchased not that somebody has to find out and dig up information on it

We have 2 hours on generator, everything ok. Only issue was with shipper and battery. I think the shipper dropped the package on the battery end, as the battery was loose and the - terminal was bent. The battery terminals were also corroded, but cleaned up easy, and I coated with di-electric grease and re-connected. We are running on propane only. The unit starts with the remote almost instantly. Have not tried the unit with our RV 13500 bu A/C as yet.

I bought this from Amazon and it came quickly. I opened up all access points and checked it over for loose wires or damage in shipping, found nothing wrong and added the oil. I haven't had any outages since it came, but I ran it for two hours, on gas and on propane, and it ran well, powering a portable heater at different loads. I am a little concerned about draining the oil when the time comes. The manual that came with the generator said to tip the generator to one side with the fill plug out and let it drain back out. That seems like it will get all over the inside of the case. The online manual suggests that there is a small bolt to remove just above the rubber plug in the bottom. That may be better. Time will tell.... Anyway, I am ready for our next power outage.

Love the duel fuel so I can run on propane and not have to deal with the mess and care of gas. There was some corrosion on the rim where the gas goes, which ideally I wish wasn’t there. It also smelled like gas so I am assuming that was from testing? Super easy to set up and set started. Fired right up and is ready to go when I need it.
