Bought this for our very first trip requiring generator power. Right out of the box I followed the easy set-up instructions and hooked it up to a propane tank. The generator fired up with the remote to my surprise. The generator is surprisingly quiet. Looking forward to many new trips that have no shore power.

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.

Just reviewed the second, and this is now the 3rd. After putting oil and gas and connecting the battery, this baby didn’t start as expected. Concerned I fooled around and realize I didn’t have it in Gasoline selection. After switching it to gasoline, hit the button and the gen started right up. These units are quiet and efficient. The only issue I have with the very first generator is that I left the charger in full time destroying the battery. That was my fault as the instructions says to only charge once a month if the unit is stored. These generators are for emergency so I only use nonethenol gas when I run them. This will save the engine from gumming up.

After researching portable inverter/generator models on a few independent consumer sites, and based on their ratings, we made the decision to purchase the iGen4500DF generator in November of 2024. We wanted something compact to use for temporary backup of essential appliances in the event of a power outage. We also intend to use it to power an RV at un-serviced campsites. The unit started and ran flawlessly from initial start-up, and through the break-in period, cycling from gasoline to propane, and back to gasoline several times over the recommended 5-hour initial break-in run. Electrical appliances were cycled during break-in varying generator output from 25% - 50%. At the end of the break-in cycle an additional appliance was added increasing power output to 90%. In all cases the generator governed the engine rpm smoothly throughout the electrical load variations. The unit is well designed with robust body panels, and the control panel is nicely laid out and easy to understand. The handles to lift the generator are well designed allowing the unit to be lifted while wearing thick gloves. The retractable handle for moving the unit on its wheels is also a nice feature (easier on the back). I was able to stop and start the unit with the remote from 60 ft with no issue. I didn't try any further than 100 ft, but I don't have any reason to believe that it wouldn't work further away that that. The unit is nice and quiet, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable compact inverter/generator with good power output.

We purchased this to use with our 38 foot fifth wheel toy hauler, as the onboard Onan generator uses a ton of gas when dry camping. We used this when dry camping, and it ran both ACs and lights perfectly. Only overloaded when we accidentally forgot and turned on the electric water heater with both ACs running, which we knew going in would be a no no on a single unit. It didn’t run quite as long as indicated, but we ran it two consecutive nights, one night on 3.4 gallons of gas and one night on a full 20 pound propane tank, both night starting at 8 PM running 1AC, and we Did turn on the hot water heater for showers. The temp outside was in the 70s overnight, so we didn’t need to run both ACs, but I’m sure we could have if needed. With gas, it ran from 8 PM until 9 AM (13 hours). With propane, it ran from 8 PM until 7:45 AM ( 11.75 hours). So although not as long as Westinghouse says, it’s still ran and kept up all night like our onboard does, but used way less fuel, and we didn’t have to refill in the middle of the night like with our smaller standalone generator. It’s not the quietest on the market but it’s close enough and we love that it’s dual fuel!

I purchased the igen4500DF through an independent dealer back on 5-16-22 and just 2 days ago 9-9-22 received it. Followed the instruction manual pre start procedures which didnt take about 15 minutes and hit the start button and fired right up so I shut it off, hooked it to my toy hauler and started the break-in procedure, it is really quiet even with just the maximum break-in load of 1850 watts. Still have 1.5 hrs left of breakin which I will finish today. Looking forward to many years of quiet trouble free service. Very happy so far with the machine even after waiting 4 months for delivery,(no fault of Westinghouse). Nice looking unit and very quiet.

I bought this back in June to replace a similar duel fuel generator for my camper. We used it about 60 hours total so far and it has been sitting in my garage for the past 4 months. It started right up and I didn’t have to charge the battery to my surprise. I really love how it’s quiet when running the AC and how it gets quieter in ECO MODE!

I bought this for an off-grid cabin in order to charge my solar system when it is down in the winter....the first thing I did after a very prompt delivery was to put in the supplied oil and test the unit...it fired right up on propane....(I have not tested it on gasoline yet)....the battery was fully charged and the remote works good....the second thing I did was to change out the oil for a lower viscosity because I will be running this mainly in the winter at 0 degree weather....the only complaint, or I should say improvement I would like to see, is when I shut off the unit with the remote at say 9pm and then wish to restart it at 7am, the battery is dead because the little indicator light for the "battery on" switch kills the battery.....maybe if it was a led or intermitant light it would last all night....oh well, I will just have to go out in the snow and push the button....otherwise, a very quiet unit even compared to my old honda pull start.

Review of Westinghouse 3,700/4,500-Watt Dual-Fuel Inverter Generator (CARB Compliant) Given the number of generator/inverters options in the marketplace, what factors were important in my selecting the Westinghouse 3,700/4,500-Watt Dual-Fuel Inverter Generator? Obviously, capacity had to be in the sweet spot for my intended use. 3700 running watts, 4500 starting watts will handle the critical appliances for the event I have a power failure at my home. And with the apparent increasing risk of power grid failure, this may be a small investment for a measure of security. I wanted and got a control panel that is quite inclusive, not just a place for a wide range of receptacles. I wanted a LED data screen showing the essential factors: fuel level, remaining run time and power output. It may seem minor, but very few generator options have a remote start key fob. That was a deal breaker for a guy who makes full use of the tv remote. It’s just a great convenience to add to the electric start on the generator. I doubt I will use the propane option but if gas stations are closed in an electrical failure it is nice to know I can remove the LP tank from my bbq to power on. Another important consideration is the eco mode which automatically adjusts engine RPM/fuel consumption to what is necessary to provide no more than the load requires. I wanted and got safeguards like a low oil indicator and an overload protector. But as I read through the User’s Manual, more and more features were revealed. The User Manual itself is worthy of accolades. I rarely receive a user’s manual so well written, clear, comprehensive. Additionally, perhaps for the less patient, Westinghouse provides a one page Quick Start Guide. But reading the whole Manual is a worthwhile experience. What other small engine company includes a drain hose on its float bowl to completely remove gasoline? Not only does the generator charge the battery while the engine is running, should you have a more sustained period of non use, Westinghouse provides a small plug-in battery charging cable. Not intended as a trickle charger, rather the company suggests plugging it in over night, sufficient to charge the battery without overcharging it. Westinghouse provides a small bag of essential tools like a spark plug wrench. They include a funnel for adding oil. The gasoline tank includes a filter. It just goes on. As time passes, I think I’m going to be very glad I purchased the Westinghouse Inverter Generator.

I bought this a month ago and extremely pleased with all the features I didn't even know I was getting. Along with this generator running very quietly the details on the actual generator for each feature made it easy to learn how to use it. Highly recommend
