A generator with outstanding features and support!

I've not had the opportunity to use this generator in the field, but really like the fact that it has a duel fuel system (propane and gasoline). In addition, it has a remote starter which is exactly what I want in a generator. I would also like to offer praise to Westinghouse for it's excellent customer service. Westinghouse went out of it's way to correct a problem and more than met my expectation for fantastic customer service. Thank you for providing a simple fix for me (the customer) and being so very positive.

Does the trick

I bought this a month ago, and haven't needed it yet. However, I did fire it up and test all the functions. It took a hot minute to get it started the first time. Getting gas through the carb I assume to a bit of extra cranking. After that, this started up right away, and the remote start worked nicely as well. Plugged a few things in to make sure the inverter worked, and I was satisfied. This generator wasn't as quiet as I had hoped. It seems others I have heard were quieter. Can't prove it without a db meter however.

Love the emote starting capability

Just recently bought this generator, but so far am impressed with the operation. Started right up after putting in the supplied oil. remote starting using the Fob is flawless. Recoil starter is also pretty easy to use as well. Once I have used this for a few camping trips my raating could change, but Westinghouse make pretty good products..

excellent generator

I've only used it one time so far, but performed excellent. I will say the manual is incorrect saying to add the entire bottle of oil, however had i read the quick start guide, it tells you to add the oil until its full. I guess ill blame overflowing the oil on myself for not reading everything first!! FYI, the entire bottle of oil will overfill the generator!!! After cleaning up the oil mess, I connected the propane and it fired up first try with the remote. I let it run for a few minutes, shut it down, and restarted, again first try. I then hooked up my RV and started turning things on. I had a 15000 btu air conditioner, residential refrigerator, two fans, one air purifier, and the inverter for 12 volt lighting all going with no problem. Decided to kick on the microwave just to see what it would do. It did run it, but maxed it out, so i turned it off. I am super impressed with this generator and all the features, and am hoping it has a long service life.

Great Size

We have started this up and we are prepared to use it. It's very quiet and the remote start is amazing. As a Texan, who lived through not having power in 2021 winter, we are happy to know we will be able to heat our home and stay connected to news, when this happens again here in Texas. The wheels make this easy to move for us, as older adults, it's a great size for storage.

Better than advertised!

We just bought this and are so pleased already. It started right up which was a great beginning! It is as quiet as advertised… no louder than one of our old 2000 watt generators and a whole lot quieter than the 5000 watt open frame we had to rent last year. Winter do your worst. We are ready with our new Westinghouse iGen4500DF generator. We are also looking forward to dry camping with it…it is an upgrade over our 2 daisy-chained Champion generators.

IGen5000DFc inverter Generator

This Westinghouse inverter generator is powerful and has many features you’d want in a mid sized inverter generator. Dual fuel is a must and this has a selector switch than can switch from gasoline to propane without shutting down the generator(load must be disconnected first). Theses a carbon monoxide detector that will shut it down if excess co is detected. The weight is approx. 105 pounds which is right on par for this size. It’s much quieter than the larger open frame generators, and supplies clean energy for sensitive electronics. All in all a good choice for inverter generators. One improvement needed in my opinion, would be a quick disconnect for the propane attachment to the generator. Instructions say to hand tighten the fitting then look for leaks using soap water. A little inconvenient but not a deal breaker. You can link another generator through the parallel ports if desired. There are 2 120v AC receptacles and 1 30A 120v receptacle you can use with the proper RV adapter extension cord(can convert to 3 additional 120v extensions for household use)

Propane for the win!

I had a gas generator, but the whole storing and keeping gasoline fresh was just a pain, so I never really had gas ready. But with this, there's none of that--and I already have propane for the bbq, and it doesn't go bad in a month--so it's always going to be ready!
