So far excellent

Been running this for close to a day. Seems to have a lot of power for the size. LOVE LOVE LOVE the remote start! Works like a charm. The only complaint I have is the location of the drain plug for the oil changes. There is a large wire in front of it that is a pain.

QUICK SETUP & FAST START

TOOK ONLY 20 MINUTES TO ADD OIL, CONNECT BATTERY & HOOKUP PROPANE TANK. STARTED IMMEDIATELY. RAN FOR TWO HOURS WITH INTERMITTENT 1650w LOAD. INTEND TO ONLY USE PROPANE; NEVER GASOLINE. WITH 1650w LOAD & ECON MODE ON, SEEMED LOUDER THAN SPEC. TOP OF GAS REGULATOR WAS COMPLETELY CORRODED & ALL SCREWS WERE RUSTED, WHICH I HAVE REPORTED TO WESTINGHOUSE; CASE PENDING

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.

Great size for travel trailer

Love the remote start. Wattage is perfect for our 20ft travel trailer. A bit bigger than I wanted, but we wanted enough wattage to guarantee our AC running. Also wanted dual fuel to keep from having to carry gas. Propane much easier. Plan is to keep it in back of pick-up (with topper) when camping and just run the power cable to it. Will have to figure out the exhaust eventually. Maybe I will post an update after I use it more.

Easy operation!

This is a nice unit. Easy to set up and operate. The dual fuel costs more than single fuel, but it is nice to have. Runs well on propane. The unit makes less noise than most generators. Less noise than gasoline lawnmowers and a bit more noise than a lawn aerator. Our next door neighbor said they could not hear it and we could barely hear it inside our house.

Great little generator

Purchased this unit a few days ago during a power outage. After setting it up per the instructions, it started on the first attempt and ran for several hours until power was restored. Very easy to use. Reasonably quiet. One note - set up instructions for adding engine oil are confusing. One instruction says to add the entire bottle of oil; another instruction says to add oil only until the oil reaches the bottom of the filler opening. The latter instructions are correct; I had excess oil running out of the filler opening. Not a problem though since I used paper towels to catch and absorb it.

Easy setup, quiet, smooth running.

So far, so good! This generator was easy to set up, easy to start (remote, cord, or button), and runs quietly. We already own an iGen2500 that has been great for camping and has met our basic needs for power outages. Given how frequent and lengthy outages are in southeast Michigan, we opted for a larger generator.

Exactly what we needed

Bought this to provide power to our RV when commercial power is not available. The features, electric start, remote start, inverter and dual fuel were all on our list. Combined with compact size, reasonable lightweight for a genset with this capacity and price make it an excellent choice.

Everything a Camper needs

We live near the coast in North Carolina and I had been wanting an inverter generator for the camper. My friend bought the iGen4500DF and recommended it to me. This is the perfect generator for a camper. The ease of operation and how quiet it runs is great. It not only looks great but runs great as well.

Well designed machine.

I brought this unit home today. The instructions were well written and easy to understand. I was surprised that the recommended gasoline was 87 octane with 10% ethanol. After hooking up the battery, adding oil and fuel, I pushed the start switch and the unit took right off. Very quiet. When I added the included .6 liter container of oil to the .6 liter capacity crankcase of the unit on my level shop floor and added the plug, I had oil running out on the floor. One of the capacities must be wrong. In order to see the serial number I had to lay with my head on the floor with a flashlight. Why put it on the bottom?
