Very stable AC cycle / very efficient

We use this to run desktop computers and our refrigerator during our (too frequent) power outages. The AC source has been very clean with nary a complaint from sensitive electronics. We run off of propane and a typical 20 lb canister has gotten upwards of 16-17 hours of service. Very much appreciate the remote on/off control. The only part that I'm not so happy with is that their oil change well is not the cleanest design and results in drips which require care to prevent stains on concrete below.

Generator is great so far but…

This is a great generator for the $ however we had an issue with filling the oil because the dipstick was obstructed by a screw sticking out in front of it making it extremely difficult to remove and replace. Aside from that we have ran it for only about 2.5 hours so far and it has worked as it should. I like that it has an easy push button start. Overall a good generator.

4500df

Just picked up a 4500df and unboxed it. Generator looks great and was easy to unpack and get setup. Great that oil, filler for the oil, propane hose and regulator, battery charger and tools were included with the unit. No damage or rust on the gas tank top as some have said. Charging up the battery and will start the break-in process of the unit later today. I will go back to Westinghouse and give a in-depth review after the initial break-in and hook up to our camper.

Met expectations

I received it today and performed the pre start up. I ran it on propane for a while and had to call my wife outside. It is WAY quieter than our old one. We were talking without raising our voices. I was blown away that it actually came with a remote control that can turn it ON and OFF. But what excites me the most of it all comes from my struggles with my last generator. This generator comes with a hose that is attached to the carburetor, with a small valve, so I can drain the bowl for long storage. Ethanol gas is hard on fuel lines when it's left sitting too long.

Compact package and SUPER quiet

Coming from an older open-frame Champion generator that gave me heartaches every time I had to start it, this Westinghouse is amazing! Push-button start like my car, and so quiet. Love how I can move it around like a piece of luggage too, lol. Only wish it had a fuel shutoff, so I could drain it out easier from the carb.

Super quiet easy to use

I bought this to power a small sound system for outdoor events. Plenty of power and surprisingly quiet. Perfect out of the box. After connecting the battery adding the oil and connecting the propane tank, it started in the first try using the remote start key fob!

Work As Advertised

Bought this about 18 months ago after moving to the country. Only ran it a bit for testing after receiving it. But, had to pull it out for real use this past weekend. Everything went as needed. Couldn't immediately find the user guide (in the dark), but had adequate instructions on the gen to remind me. Got is situated; few easy steps to start. It took a couple times at trying to start, but then started running on the third try. That was likely due to some stale gas. But then ran it for several hours to power some needed items for family movie night until the power returned. We were just running extension cords to items to power a couple lights, TV, router (somehow still had internet), and the fridge. We had the unit outside on our deck, just 15 feet away from us, and were able to enjoy the movie just fine. Generator was pretty quiet (as desired) and didn't even create much vibration. Very, very pleased. I think we'll be in good shape when a greater need comes along. Tested it tonight with our propane tank and fired right up like a champ. Sounded even quiter on the propane.

Perfect camping generator

We absolutely love our. A little louder then my father in laws honda but mine runs everything I need and more, my wife and I love the remote start. I don't have to put pants on in the middle of the night if I need to crank it up for anything. I love that I run off propane. A little more expensive then gas but it's less wear and tear and it's easy enough to keep a few tanks topped off and not worry about dumping gas trying to fill it up. Plus my wife can transfer propane tanks in her car without it smelling like a gas can for a week.

Has all the features I was looking for

This generator has push button start, remote start, and pull start. Dual-fuel Gasoline/LP Gas. Auto Shut-off. Small and light enough that I can maneuver it myself (though I did need a little help lifting it out of the box). And there are a ton of great videos on YouTube that make setup look like a breeze.
