Does is all.

After a resent storm that left us without power for 3 days we started looking for a generator. With Covid our kids are home for school and we needed power so they wouldn't miss any. This should fit our needs perfectly. Since we were going to be running computer equipment we went with an inverter (better on sensitive equipment). We are able to run both our refrigerators and several other circuits to give us lights and internet. Love that it comes with a small tool kit, oil and funnel.

Very quiet and good power

After reviewing hours of online videos and written reviews I decided to give the igen4500df a try. I was hesitant with so many reviews showing the choke issue but videos show it is an easy fix. Setup was really easy and it started with the second button push. Runs great. Really quiet. Will run both A/C units but that is its max. Anything else and it will trip the overload on my fifth wheel. Remote start is a must have in my opinion as I do not want to go outside in the cold morning air to be able to start my Coffey pot. Overall I would highly recommend this product based on initial impressions.

Started right away!

I just opened the box with the new 4500DF Westinghouse generator. I had done my homework. This was the generator I hoped to purchase to use primarily with a travel trailer. First put in the oil. Then hooked up the battery. Then added some ethanol free fuel. Turned on the gas selector, and then the “run” switch and it started right up. Runs quiet and I am thankful to be able to use this very nice powerful unit. I would highly recommend it.

So far so good!

Just delivered today. Added oil, connected battery, hooked up propane tank and it started up right away. Tested a 950W Microwave oven that drew 25% of rated propane load and all was good. Small, quiet, and transports well with wheels and handles. Oil compartment a bit too small for my taste but no problems to access.

Well designed machine.

I brought this unit home today. The instructions were well written and easy to understand. I was surprised that the recommended gasoline was 87 octane with 10% ethanol. After hooking up the battery, adding oil and fuel, I pushed the start switch and the unit took right off. Very quiet. When I added the included .6 liter container of oil to the .6 liter capacity crankcase of the unit on my level shop floor and added the plug, I had oil running out on the floor. One of the capacities must be wrong. In order to see the serial number I had to lay with my head on the floor with a flashlight. Why put it on the bottom?

Great generator at a great price

After extensive research, this is one of the largest and most affordable dual fuel inverter generators available. I bought this 3 months ago and have used it twice for several hours using both gasoline and propane. It is quiet, dependable and able to carry the loads as advertised. Very happy with the purchase.

Amazing Generator But flawed

Bought a pair of these to run in parallel, the features seemed amazing and it was exactly what I was looking for to power my RV. But one of the pair of generators kept overloading right out of the box while the other operated perfectly. I managed to isolate the issue to the motor of one of the pair and am now in the process of making a warranty cliam. Very disappointed to have to deal with this while my family is trying to enjoy camping. Now we are delayed while Westinghouse deals with this, lord only knows how long that will take.

As it should be

Nice to get a product worth the money you spent for it. Everything is included needed to get operational. Labels and instructions very good, other than it would be nice to have a sketch of the pull handle button release location and a note that states the O on buttons means off and not on. Quality is excellant. Starts very easily from all modes. Very quiet. Excellant generator.

Good Generator

Bought this unit for its features (specifically: dual fuel and the inverter) and so far I am quite happy with it. Using it to power my house (minus all the 240 V appliances) and it seems to be more than adequate for this purpose Typically using about 700W (it's a small home). We have had one four hour power outage during which it was put to use but I am firing it up every weekend for a short period of time just to ensure it is in good running order. Highly recommended!

Storm Buster

I live in South Carolina. We recently suffered some impact from hurricane Helene. Needless to say it hit us good. We live kinda of off grid. We lost power, so no air conditioning. With temperatures in the high 80s. We also lost water due to the fact the pump runs off of electricity. So we packed what we could and moved to are small tow RV. I my generator out and would you believe it wouldn’t start. I pulled on that cord until I couldn’t pull anymore. We stayed in the RV with just lights and refrigerator. I said to myself never again. I ordered the westing house 5000 dual fuel. I hooked the generator to the RV. And like magic every thing in the rv was operational. The AC Stove and microwave. This little generator packs a punch. I should have done this years ago and with two new hurricanes heading are way, I’m ready
