Dual Fuel is my best option. Size/Noise best.

This generator has clean power and will run all my necessities during a black out. My 5 saltwater reef tanks, TV, Internet, lights and refrigerator are all able to run with this generator. It's size is smaller than I expected and the noise level is much lower than most gas generators. Set up was very easy and the electronic start remote was perfect to start the generator from inside the house. The dual fuel allows me to keep propane on hand then fill gas cans when the power goes out.

Great Value for the Features

Unit arrived quickly and with no physical damage. Started right up on propane, but kept surging on idle. Contacted customer service and they are sending a new carburetor for me to replace, if I feel handy enough. If not, they offered for me to take it to a authorized shop. I will wait and see what is involved. Part is on its way. If it wasn't for the carburetor issue, I would give 5 stars. Really meets my needs.

Vert easy set up

The Gen took a while to get because of back order but well worth the wait. From the time I brought the box into the garage till the time it was running was less than 30 minutes, I mean my sisters girls could have set this thing up. Add oil and connect the battery, wow. I ran it unloaded for 30 min, shut it down to check oil. The next day I ran my travel trailer with 13500 btu a/c, lights and microwave for 4 hrs. It ran everything perfectly and its not that loud at all. While running the camper I hooked up a LP tank and swapped to LP gas under load, didn't miss a beat. After I was done testing I changed the oil (easy) and now its ready for the next trip.

easy operation and very portable

I bought this unit so I could keep my home/office up and running during a long power outage or disaster if needed and for job site use. This unit is very easy to prep for first time use and fired up on the second pull of the manual start. The remote start makes things even easier. it is a great back up system

5000DFcv

Booth this generator and started with the manual. It walked us through the hookup and break in procedures in good detail. The printed maintenance schedule was very user friendly and easy to understand. We hooked the unit up to propane and it fire after a few pulls for the first run. The unit had plenty of power and was nice and quiet for the amount of energy it produced. Overall great generator for the money. Hoping all goes well with service in the near future but so far a great product.

Incredibly Quiet

It took quite awhile to find one, but eventually I was able to get it. Its our first generator and so far I couldn't be happier. We haven't put it to the test, but I did test it with an angle grinder and it worked flawlessly. Very quiet, which is important as I don't want to broadcast when I have it running to everyone. Very pleased.

First Generator

I had been researching a generator for our new RV and believe we made the right choice on the Westinghouse IGEN4500DF. Once I took it out of the box and read the instructions I finished setting it up. Only downfall I had from instructions was for me to fill entire bottle of oil into the engine. I didn't use it all but still it was leaking out. Cleaned up the excess and closed the drain plug. Hooked up the Propane and put enough gas in to start. Okay, now I ready to start. It took a couple of tries and review of instructions but it started up. Then I switched over to Propane and you can here it convert. Let it run for a little bit and switched back to gas seamlessly. Remote worked like a charm. I can't wait to take it out camping and enjoy my new Westinghouse I GEN4500DF.

Awesome starting features

After hurricane Helene decided to finally get a generator. Just took it for a test run and works great. The three methods of starting it are great (manual pull cord, start button on unit and remote start key fob). All the different power connections make it extremely versatile. Dual fuel (propane and gas) means we can can keep a propane tank ready for immediate use and then refuel based on what’s available. We are ready for next power outage.
