Just what I was looking for

Needed an inverter with hugher capacity and low noise, since my neighbors are very close. Very happy with this one - started right up first time and easy to add oil and charge battery. Noise level was at conversation level, and powers all the loads I need in a storm or loss of home power. Great purchase and best of breed.

Has all the features I need!

Just bought this generator a week ago and so far so good! Disappointed I had to take the time to adjust the manual choke so the unit would start the first time. Starts without further adjustment since. Looking forward to first camping trip with my IGen4500!

So easy and quiet

We were anticipating a pretty significant snow storm here in Northwest Kentucky. Y to he night before it’s arrival I tried to start my 20 year old generator. Always worked well, but locked up this time! I bought this Westinghouse Dual Fuel 4500 unit as the storm began. In 20 minutes I was up and running! No pulling cords to start: the battery did it all! The sound level is so much better than my previous generator. This is a great find.

So far its working well

Did my first oil change at 3 hrs and again at 8 hrs. I was shocked at how much metal was in the first oil change. There were large shavings, and a ton of glitter. Still glitter in the second. I will change it again at 15hrs. Manual does not clearly state break-in time, but says change oil after first 25hrs and do not exceed 50% load during break-in. Also the batteries for the remote came dead and the regulator came with rusted screws and corroded aluminum. After replacing the batteries in the remote, its a great feature to have. I have not put any gasoline in mine yet and plan on using propane exclusively. I live at 4000ft and use this at altitudes slightly higher. A high altitude carb kit is required for altitudes above 5000ft (its just a jet kit). Not sure if this applies to propane operation.

UPDATE to my 7/7/2021 review

Very happy with this generator. I have just used it with various load levels and it operated as expected each time. I had all lights, fans, refrigerator, microwave, tv, and air conditioner on all at the same time and the generator performed flawlessly.

Quite Reliabilty

I’ve long had a VERY NOISY generator to use as home back up. So noisy that immediately after power is restored if I don’t turn the generator off immediately i get banged with a list of text requests to Please turn it off from neighbors. The unit arrived on time , no damage. Very easy set up and VERY quite comparatively. Starts very easy and I love the built in battery tender.

iGen4500DF

I purchased this generator primarily for RVing after camping next to someone that was using the same model to power their camper. My Onan generator was much louder. This unit is quiet and efficient and I love the ability to run on a tank of propane instead of being dependent on gasoline only. I definitely recommend this unit.

Best inverter on the market for the price!

Since I’ve gotten this inverter, it has worked flawless, it’s super easy to maintain and easy access to oil and battery. The inverter last at least 14 hours on propane and the electric remote start is so awesome to use. Highly recommend this product.

Almost perfect.

Set up instructions were clear and concise. Packaging was solid. Dialing in the correct oil level was somewhat tedious because of it previously being test run with oil at the factory. Residual oil in the motor resulted in only partial use of the otherwise exact quantity of included bottled of oil. Connected the battery and propane it fired right up an flawlessly powered through its break-in hours. My only gripes are it not having an OEM quick disconnect set up for the propane and the short propane hose. I very nearly went with a Champion for the quick disconnect feature. Only other suggestion is to move the rolling handle set up so it lifts from the top of the unit which would make deployment of the handle much more efficient.

Westinghouse 4500 iGen4500 DF

Really?!!!! His thing is AMAZING! I watched hours of YouTube reviews on 2000 plus Watt generators and this wasn’t mentioned much. I’ve have a Yamaha previously. Oil, Gas, plug in the battery and hit the REMOTE START swing. And Bam! On. Wow! And super quiet. We’ll done Westinghouse. I’m a fan! I’m using this for my RV. And I am now going to buy a second one. Maybe smaller for portability and have them ready to save together for a whole home backup generator for 1/10th the price of a Generac.
