Quite Power

I am a volunteer for the forest service and a co-worker had a generator like this one. It does everything I need when my solar can’t stay up with the demand we need. Setup was simple and it’s very quiet. Love the dual fuel option. Let’s us run on LPG vapor or gasoline. It even runs the A/C unit. I can’t find any negatives on this generator. My co-worker has enjoyed his for over a year without any issues. Thanks Westinghouse

Peace of mind

I bought this generator because we were out of power for 4 days in 2020 in freezing weather and I never want to do that again. The instructions and set up for this machine were super easy to understand and very user friendly even for someone who has never used a generator before. The design is amazing and very user friendly as well. I love that it is dual fuel and can use gasoline or propane. It will easily power the start up for my gas furnace and other necessary electronics in my house if we are ever without power for several days again. The price is very reasonable and well worth the peace of mind this machine provides.

RV Generator

The perfect solution for operating an RV that doesn't have a built in generator. It's very quiet, duel fuel option, and you know it's a Quality unit if it's made by Westinghouse. And it's backed up by unmatched support. I highly recommend this generator.

Great Product

I bought this a couple months ago, it works great. It was exactly what I was looking for. The remote start is a great upgrade from my last inverter/generator. Its great to stay in the trailer on a cold morning and have the generator start with out going outside. The generator is nice a quiet, can easily sleep while it is running.

iGen4500DFc

I purchased this generator to use camping with my RV. I unpacked it, installed the battery and filled it with oil and fuel. It started right up with no issues. I used it to run the air conditioner and a vacuum cleaner while cleaning up the inside of my camper while parked in my driveway. When I switched on the shop vacuum it did cause the overload breaker to trip while running the air conditioner. But I reset it while leaving the vacuum switch on and both the AC and vacuum started right up. So far I have only ran it a few hours with no issues. It is a little louder than I expected, but it is quieter than an open frame generator. Seems like a quality unit.

Sharp edges and off center

So far it's good haven't really used it but it is quiet . The openings for the battery and oil openings are like razor blades they could have smoothed out the plastic. The oil drain plug is almost impossible to get to. They could have just made the opening a bit bigger or moved it to the left.

Poor Performance

I purchased this generator in May 2019 and it has stopped starting either remote or otherwise. The rip cord handle fell off, I never used the handle! The fuel float is broke and when I started it with gasoline, all of the gasoline came pouring out of the bottom of the unit! Several other issues, too many to name.

Nice inverter

Bought for power outage and travel trailer usage. Somewhat rough idle initially, hopefully will settle after break in. No issues with start up and automatic choke though and consistent voltage so far. Excited to use with travel trailer this spring summer

Very quiet, started first time

I purchased it on the Nov 30,2023 and it arrived on Dec 7,2023. Bad weather did not let me start it until Dec 11,2023. I put oil in and connected the battery, it started first time so I ran it for two hours. Ran it with a hair dryer plugged in, and everything worked perfectly. I used a magnetic oil plug and Synthetic oil. The box it came in had a couple small marks on it, but the product was in perfect condition when I removed it from the box.

Well-designed, quiet

Compact, quiet, well-designed. 2 grab bars allow for lifting by two people. Wheels make it easy to move around. Tested using propane, works great. USB "A" ports allow for charging electronic devices directly from the generator. Sine wave output. Starts from battery or using pull rope. Eco mode runs only as hard as needed for the load - it doesn't run full out all the time which means quieter than many others. About 110 lbs with no gasoline.
