Great 30 Amp gen

I've used this for several weeks and so far it's powered my 32 ft travel trailer with a 30 amp circuit. It's running my 15k btu AC without any issues. I am able to run the TV, AC, fridge and lights without it missing a beat. The remote is a plus, I able to control the on/off from inside the trailer. This gen is very quiet, runs at mid 40 db from 15 feet from the trailer when testing levels from the inside of the trailer, with the TV on it's hardly noticeable.

Great generator for the trailer!

I did a lot of research to find the best overall generator for camping and finally decided on this one. It will start the A/C on the trailer with no problems. It is also quiet enough to power the heater fan all night in cold weather. To top things off, it can run off propane which can be more convenient than gas at times. The first time I started it, I had it connected to my propane tank and it fired right up using the remote start. It started so easily it was as if it had already been running moments before. Great generator!

Great features!

Easy start-up, works great, remote start works great, great features like digital display power and fuel usage, love compact size and operationally quiet. I just purchased so haven't put it to a great test as of yet. But so far, it looks and operates great out of the box.

Didn't want to leave a review

I didn't want to leave a review because after 2 weeks and 20 hours of use the generator wouldn't start and is in the shop. Those 2 weeks the generator rain flawlessly. Normally if I bought a piece of machinery and this happened I would demanding my money back. The reason I'm not doing that this time is I was very pleased with the generator and it 's performance the 2 weeks it did run. So it's in the shop now being repaired. Once the generator is repaired I believe I will have years of service.

Quiet runs great

Unless I missed something I did not find instructions for setup and break in procedure. It came with oil easy enough just be careful when filling, mine obviously had some oil left in it because it over filled and about 4 oz's leaked out. The remote is clipped onto the recoil cord. Connecting the battery needed channel locks, very tight. Charge the battery through plug in on control panel. Have it running my smoker right now, runs great.

Amazing, Smooth, Quiet, Powerful

After a great deal of research and purchasing (then returning) a bigger, louder competing brand, we are thrilled and extremely impressed with our Westinghouse iGen4500DF Inverter Generator. It is extremely well made, well packaged, clearly well supported, and purrs like a kitten at all power settings. We use it as a backup power source for our entire home, are able to take it with us on the road, and love the user friendly features. Win win win win. Couldn't be happier with our purchase.

Awesome generator

I bought it a week to run my RV. I love it. It has everything I would want in a rv generator. It’s quiet, I can run it on gas or propane. The digital display lets me know the remaining run time, power output, fuel level, voltage and hrs on the motor. It also has a remote to start and stop the generator.

Great Generator for the Cost!

I purschased this generator before a planned power outage in my town. I was able to put the oil in and have it running in 10 minutes after opening the box. We were able to have heat in January in western NY and kept our refrigerator and freezer running. Also, we will use this generator for our camper since it is big enoigh to supply 30 amps to run the AC in the middle of summer. It will be awesone to be able to tap into the propane on the camper to run the generator at camp grounds that do not supply electricity.

Does exactly what it claims

Bought this last year for home back up, camping with our travel trailer, and dirt bike riding trips. It powers our rv 15,000 btu ac easily, it is very fuel efficient just like it claims, and it is so quiet you can easily talk standing beside it. This is a do it all generator and I'm so happy with it. I got the DF version and hooking it up to run on propane is easy. It comes with the tools to hook up to propane. I would buy again if I had to.

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.
