nice generator

I bought this inverter generator 3 days ago. It was very well packed in its box, user manual is very good. I set up the unit added oil and tested it, runs and works good. only one problem is I am missing the remote start fob, I will be getting a hold of service center for help

Lots of power & very quiet

We purchased this generator after much research into brands, etc. The Westinghouse received consistently high reviews. I will echo those. The unit delivers the power it is rated for and is extremely quiet. I recommend the IGEN4500DF to anyone looking for a power source within its range of output.

Great features

A friend has this same one. Watched him operate his and the ease of use. Impressed with it so I just purchased mine. Seems very easy to set up and get started using. Will be using for the first time, starting tomorrow, 8-21-22, through 8-25-22. Looking forward to it.

Good Value

I waited to right the review until I have been able to try it out. While I haven’t been camping, I believe lack of use isn’t good, so I do monthly run everything in my RV. Over the last three month I have used the generator to operate and warm up my RV. I bought it for all of it’s features. Here is a list of things that I think would be helpful for those thinking about buying one. - Directions were easy to follow. - It is simple to change from gas to propane. - Instructions say start without a load, but it has a remote start. Still confused about this. - When cold I have had to push the start twice for it to start, but it starts with no problem with the electric start. - I tried to start it with the pull start. Only tried it a couple times and it didn’t start. I think it would work but not a one or two pull cold start. I think this would tie back to how lone it takes the electric start to work. - The box it came in wasn’t sturdy. There wasn’t any damage to the unit but the box was not reusable. I believe these boxes were designed for transport by pallet not single shipment, something they should look at redesigning. - It is about 100lbs something to consider. - If you leave gas in it run it once a month for a least ½ hour. - It was able to run my AC and microware at the same time. - For RV’ers I have discovered that the “hot” water heater uses a lot of power, might consider using it propane mode While it’s the first generator I have owned, it has met all my expectations and would purchase it again.

Good Generator

Generator is quiet and a good value for the money. Fuel consumption and run time left not accurate when idle control is off - You need to leave it off if you're running an AC or large load. Had to return the 1st generator. Being used on the tongue of a Travel Trailer. Good fit vs. weight / size.

Everything I wanted in an Inverter Generator

I'm really happy with everything about this generator. For the power it's not really that heavy...and easy to move around with the built in handles, one for rolling, two for carrying. Attention to detail was taken with added bonuses like the battery charger, tools and everything you need to get it running. Has the right connection for my 30A RV plug. Dust covers are a nice touch too! Love the remote start and status display. I like the fact it was manufactured in Vietnam.

Simply the Best

I bought this generator as a power source for my 40' fifth wheel. We plan on traveling for a few months at least and have used this generator for places we camp with no shore power. It has plenty of power to run what I need including the one rooftop A/C. Easy to start!! whether pushing the button for Electric start or one (maybe 2) pulls on the cord (for when i let the battery die), it has started right up. It's been fantastic for getting things running so the family can get inside after a long day of driving, or just for the comforts of day to day power usage.

Great so far

I just received this generator two days ago, but my initial impression is good. I added oil, plugged battery in, hooked up propane, and fired it up. It ran smooth and quiet. I plugged in a 1500w electric heater and it handled it no problem. So far I’m happy with my purchase.

First start!

Out of the box started first push of start button. Only breaking in period so limited review. Nice features, very quite and love the dual fuel. Digital data display is a big plus. Future model suggestions for Westinghouse to add: oil drain valve and tube, oil changes could be much simpler and not as messy and how about a float drain valve and tube so you don’t need to open the side panel every time you turn it off and store. Just suggestion I will probably add myself. I bought two of the 4500DF inverters.

Great Product

I'm very happy with all the great features that come with the IGEN4500DF. Same features are usually only found on more expensive generators.. I love the extended handle for easy maneuvering and the easy transfer from gas to propane. I would definitely recommend this product to those looking for a great buy!
