Love the way it runs, smooth and quiet compared to my old Generac. Access to oil fill through access panel is difficult due to tight fit and my hands aren't exactly large. Be careful when adding fuel for the first time - the screen filters will back up the flow if you pour too fast. Other than those growing pains I would recommend the unit.

Just got my generator. Added some synthetic oil and fuel and it fired right up. Had to use it immediately because we had apower outage due to huge snow storm. Worked great. Also tried out the propane feature and the unit started right up..no issues so far. Gave it a 4* because it is still new and I haven’t had enough time with it. Very happy so far. Also have a 2500 and it has worked well too. Thanks!!

Purchased a little over a week ago and over the last couple of afternoons I ran the generator to accumulate the five hours of break in time appying different loads being careful not to exceed a fifty percent load as suggested by Westinghouse. I am currently using gasoline to fuel the generator. The first time I started it I used the pullcord as I was curious to see how easy it would start using the manual labor method. The temp was 35 degrees F and it started up on the second pull. Very smooth running and pretty quite. I like information so I am in love with the data center. One of the readouts available is the amount of run time left with the current load on the generator. If I plug in another device and increase the load the readout will update to show the new run time left with the increased load. I also like that the carburator came with a drain hose attached and a drain screw to faccillitate draining the carb. A thoughtful feature. The owner's manual is well written with lots of drawings, nice. The battery was door was popped off and the battery out of its tray when I opened the shipping carton. The attachment points where the battery hold down strap attaches to the generator plastic housing is very minimal. It takes very little pressure for the strap to become unattached. As others have mentioned Westinghouse missed the mark when it comes to draining the oil. If they were to enlarge the access door opening just a little on the left side it would go a long way in making the drainplug more easily accessable. All in all an impressive machine loaded with practical features.

So far the inverter runs great even with a large load. I connected fluke meters to monitor the voltage and amperage while running a Ridgid Pipe threader as I threaded a piece of 1 1/2" conduit and the voltage was very consistent while the unit was about half loaded.

Exactly what I needed for Dry Camping in the mountains, this generator will run my 13,500 BTU A/C and my Fast Battery Chargers to keep my batteries topped off during daylight hours and allow for quite nights using the battery inverter's to watch satellite TV. And for those rainy days comes with remote and can run on propane in case of an emergency.

I bought this as a replacement for a Honda EU2200i. I bought the Honda to run a camper and it wasn't quite large enough to run the AC and anything else. The 4500DF was easy to set up. There was too much oil in the provided oil container and so it overflowed a bit. Once inspected and filled with oil, I tested all of the functionality and everything seemed to work well. I ran it for about 5 hours under varying loads and it worked like a champ. The YouTube videos for the automatic choke issue were helpful to see where problems could exist. Fortunately, this 4500 seems to not have the issue. I had no problem with all lights on in the camper, the AC on, and the TV playing a movie from the DVD player. I didn't try the microwave at the same time yet. It ran very quiet. I was able to switch between fuels easily. I'd encourage folks to read the manual so you know what to expect. Remote works great. It would be nice to have larger and more all-terrain type wheels. A better funnel for oil would be nice, but they are super cheap. Curious how the oil changes will go to avoid making a huge mess. The Honda had an oil spout right on the fill tube that helped with oil changes and kept it clean and easy. A longer hose for the propane tank would be nice. From a quality control perspective, adding a tag in bright orange that says something like, "OIL NEEDED - DO NOT TRY TO START WITHOUT ADDING OIL" would be nice. Also a label for the propane valve that says, "This Side UP" would be nice. Understandably, these things are in the manual but it seems that reading is hard. I would definitely recommend this generator and am very happy with the purchase!

I bought this last week. Product showed up a week early! All items come in box including oil and tools! It takes all oil they send with Generator! After I figured that out the generator started on the first push all I did was add oil and connect electric start battery which is plug and play!!!

I purchased my Westinghouse Igen4500DF due to the regular power outages we experienced in our neighborhood. I took a few weeks to reviews a ton of reviews and always found this model to be in the top rated. Its quiet and easy to use. One of my favorite features is the stowaway handle for ease of moving. Thank you Westinghouse for making a great product!

This generator has been sold out for a long time, but it finally came back in stock. Still in the break in phase, but so far happy with everything. The only word of caution is to download the latest manual from the Westinghouse website. The included hardcopy manual instructs to pour in the entire contents of the included oil, but that was too much and it over flowed and made a mess. I should have known better, but these things happen.

I had been researching a generator for our new RV and believe we made the right choice on the Westinghouse IGEN4500DF. Once I took it out of the box and read the instructions I finished setting it up. Only downfall I had from instructions was for me to fill entire bottle of oil into the engine. I didn't use it all but still it was leaking out. Cleaned up the excess and closed the drain plug. Hooked up the Propane and put enough gas in to start. Okay, now I ready to start. It took a couple of tries and review of instructions but it started up. Then I switched over to Propane and you can here it convert. Let it run for a little bit and switched back to gas seamlessly. Remote worked like a charm. I can't wait to take it out camping and enjoy my new Westinghouse I GEN4500DF.
