After following the setup instructions, it fired up on the first try. It handled various loads including shop vac (high startup current), heat gun, portable air conditioner. As they all do, it gets noisier with increasing load but still managed a very respectable 73dB 20ft away with a 3 KW load. Volt and Watt meters were accurate. Voltage stability under load was very good. Everything worked as it should. The included oil filler funnel is very nice.

I just unpacked my Westinghouse iGEN4500DF generator purchased because another brand failed to start during an ice storm. I returned it ASAP to the company and purchased the 4500DF. I'm only running it on propane. Very easy to set up. No wheels to attach etc. Just filled the oil, which comes in the box and connected the battery clip. It started on the first try and warmed up nicely and quietly. I trust this generator to be ready to run when I need it.

I am getting older and wanted a smaller and quieter source of back up power than my 20 year generator which is now difficult to start and makes enough noise to wake up our entire block. For a replacement I wanted the following items. Enough wattage (this is plenty as a backup), portability/mobility (wheels make this simple/low profile), dual fuel flexibility, ease of starting, and not as loud as my outdated generator. This unit met all the criteria and was the perfect fit for my household. Starting it is a breeze and the low noise factor is great.

I bought this several months ago, and it was still in the box till yesterday morning. Got it out to run our freezers and fridge, and it worked great! Easy and quick to start it up! The reason I gave 4 stars is that the fuel gauge doesn't work, and I can't find any troubleshooting to fix it. Also, the remote start function doesn't work. Overall, it saved us a lot of money and time replacing food! And it's very quiet!

I am still in the process of break in and keeping the load under 50%, but I am so pleased with this generator. It is reasonable silent, feature packed and reasonably priced. My only complaint is the oil change process...difficult and if you spill oil in there, you will never get it all out.

Bought the 4500DF based on needs and reviews for my RV. Much quieter than my previous gen, so I don't need to put it in a sound retardant box. comparable to the db ratings of the Hondas. So far no complaints, works great. Wife likes the remote start, she doesn't need to leave RV in the AM when I'm not there. opted for the dual fuel version to have a second source of fuel, on the chance we run low on gasoline. The 3year warranty is a nice perk, and fairly priced. If your looking to compare, the Cummins/Onan p4500i is similar.

Picked it up before a hurricane and glad I did, we were out of power for 6 days. It was in good shape out of the box. Start up instructions were clear and easy to read with charts and pictures. I really enjoyed the display that showed load factor and how many watts being used. It powered everything I threw at it(not at the same time) including the fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, fans, TV, microwave and electric kettle. The only one It had issue with was starting up the portable AC unit. The response time for the throttle was too slow to make up for the voltage drop and it rebooted the AC unit before it could get running. I had to take off the side cover and manually rev up the engine before the AC compressor kicked on then it would work fine. Used it with gasoline and propane with no issues. For oil changes I used a couple of cinder blocks to prop it up to make it easier. Made it to 53 hours run time no issues.

After a lot of research I settled on this generator. The initial set up and break in went fairly smooth but found the instructions in manual were a little vague. With the help of YouTube I was able to figure most of it out. The generator is smooth and pretty quite. I think I will be very happy with this generator.

This is my first generator purchase and have been very pleased with it so far. I researched for several weeks plus consulted with friends who are electricians to help me determine the features I needed. The primary motivation for purchasing a generator was as a backup in the event of a power outage but also something portable to use while camping. I really like the dual fuel feature, easy start options and the quietness. Very good price for the features and power!

Super easy setup. I had it running within minutes of unboxing. I ran it on propane first. Used all three starting methods and it started first time with all three. I was able to start with the remote from over 120 feet away. Very solid, feel like great quality. I was blown away by how quiet this generator is, even when standing next to it. From 20 feet away it's just minor background noise.
