decided to purchase the Westinghouse iGen4500DF inverter generator. My first impression upon receipt was the packaging it came in. Though the box was a bit roughed up due to shipping, none of the contents were damaged. The box is made of sturdy cardboard and the styrofoam packing is of good quality - not the usual flimsy stuff that comes from China. The company did it's job to ensure it's product gets to the customer in good shape. After unboxing and reading the user manual, I added oil, connected the battery and added gasoline. I only use premium gasoline without ethanol for all my small engines. Note that a handy oil funnel comes with the unit along with oil and enough small tools to perform the usual maintenance tasks like changing the spark plug or air cleaner. I thought this was a very nice touch. Careful when adding the oil, it can be easily overfilled. Just go slow and check the level often as you fill. I then double-checked the startup procedure, and pressed the start button. It started on the first try. I let it run for a few minutes and shut it down. I then tried the remote start. Again, it started on the first try. I ran the unit on and off for the next hour just playing with it and checking things over. So far, it has started on the first try every time no matter which method I used. I'll take it as a very good sign. The generator is made with good quality plastics and metal. Nothing that I have touched or handled feels cheap or flimsy. The telescoping handle works well and is sturdy. I was able to extend the handle and move the unit with one arm while in the garage - just to see if I could. The unit rolls well and is easy to maneuver; however, I do not expect this to be the case while in the woods, but I think I'll be able to place it where I want it without too much trouble. It is also nice to know that If the generator is connected to a propane tank, you can switch from using gasoline to propane on the fly and vice versa. I like this flexibility! This generator is very similar to the Cummins Onan P4500DF Dual-Fuel Inverter Generator.

Did lots of research and this unit seems to be the best combo of power, features and price. It’s as quiet as advertised. Started on 2nd try with initial test-run on propane. Looks like oil change will be a PITA, but I knew that prior to purchase. Planning to use as home backup for power outages. I’ll update after using a while.

I just received my 4500 dual fuel generator, that I purchased for my Fifth wheel RV. It has the features I was looking for, including dual fuel, 30 amp plug, and enough amperage to run air conditioners and more. I unboxed the unit, filled it with oil, hooked up the battery and started it on LP, using the remote control. It started right away and ran properly. I have not yet tested the output or used the unit, but I looking forward to giving it a try. I gave this 4 stars, only because I have not used it in working conditions.

Technically bought two of these generators for RVing and emergency situations. For whatever reason this one took more effort to start initially. Was really concerned but then it took off and worked fine after that. Still haven’t really put them through their paces but happy so far.

Have had a little over a week used it on one camping trip. Features I appreciate are remote start, wife likes it better, fuel gauge, ability to wheel around and drip tray at gas filler cap. One thing I would like different is oil filler neck and level check extended further out.

We love the remote start. But honestly the design and compact dimensions of the Westinghouse digital inverter generator was our first draw to the product. We have been researching generators for some time, and are happy we chose the dual fuel Westinghouse. Shipping was excellent, packaged well and generator was easy to set up. We did watch some videos online, and suggest to others to do the same. Very happy with purchase.

I finally was able to get it out of the box and fire it up. I have not loaded it up much but it works great for what i have done so far. Kind of hard starting on Gasoline in the cold weather, but starts great on Propane. I will start on propane to warm it up, then switch to gasoline. No problem.

Runs quiet enough that you can have a normal conversation while standing next to the generator running. Used about 80 percent of a 20 lb propane tank in 13 hrs. Fuel gauge is not registering during propane use. Hopefully that will change when I use gasoline.

I just bought this Inverter Generator for possible emergencies. I was looking for at least a 5000 peak watts and a generator that adjusts to different loads (saving gas) and was portable. Have not had a chance to use it yet, but I bought it based on other's recommendations. Will review after I use it.

I selected this because it was big enough to run anything in my house, it had electric start, it would run on gas or propane, it was an inverter, and it was small enough to easily move. After prepping it, it started right up on propane. To test it I ran a circular saw and a reciprocating saw together. I’m a satisfied customer.
