Dual Fuel is my best option. Size/Noise best.

This generator has clean power and will run all my necessities during a black out. My 5 saltwater reef tanks, TV, Internet, lights and refrigerator are all able to run with this generator. It's size is smaller than I expected and the noise level is much lower than most gas generators. Set up was very easy and the electronic start remote was perfect to start the generator from inside the house. The dual fuel allows me to keep propane on hand then fill gas cans when the power goes out.

Also had my neighbor plug in for 10hrs with my stuff he had a refrigerator and a fan with a few lights gen ran at 25% every once in a while hit 50% . Never cut out and kepted running. Couldn't be happier

Disappointed

When I open the box I discovered the generator was packaged in the box upside down. There is some damage on the plastic housing and The connections on the battery were bent and the battery was flipped upside down inside The battery compartment and I found the plastic cover for the battery compartment laying in the bottom of the bag with some of the foam sound proofing Tore off the cover I was able to fix the connections on the battery and put the cover back on Now that I had the battery hooked up I put oil in it and hooked it up the propane the unit started right up so I put two different loads on it a space heater And a fan Separately. Digital data center Only read 0000 No power output and no voltage and lifetime run hours The propane connection it’s not centered so the cover doesn’t seal it. Sorry it’s not letting me down load pictures.

Versatile Generator

I am happy with my 4500 dual fuel digital inverter generator. Pleaze note: The battery does not come plugged in, and directions are not in the Quick Start Guide, but it was easy to look in the booklet table of contents. It is great that it comes with oil to start (don't put in the entire container of oil, it took about 3/4) , and it comes with the propane regulator as well as a cord to directly charge the battery if necessary, although it seems to have a trickle charge to charge the battery while running . Hopefully it well run well for years to come!

Just what I needed

Great back up generator. I takes little space to start and its easy to handle with the telescope handle. It's really handy that it comes with the adaptor for the liquid propane tank, the correct oil, oil funner and tools. Im pleased with my purchase.

Very Nice Unit

I'm new to generators, but felt compelled to buy one after Pacific Gas and Electric developed a policy of cutting power to prevent wildfires. This is for emergency use only, or for when the power is cut for an extended time. I chose this unit because it has the power I need, and it is dual fuel. I don't have have any gasoline tools, and don't want to store gasoline to run a generator infrequently. So, I was very attracted to the propane option on this unit. Also, this is an inverter generator, supposed to be safer for modern electronics... so everything in the house. I've tested this unit on everything in the house, from refrigerator to running our furnace. It does everything except power our 220 Volt appliances. One item that does bother me, and again I'm new to this: the 30 Amp plug is a TT-30r, not the more common LS-30, seen on most of the other generators I looked at. I guess this generator is designed more for use on travel trailers than as household backup. Finding a cord with TT-30p on one end, and household-plug on the other seems impossible; I had to by an adapter. I wish that Westinghouse supplied this adapter, or an optional replacement plug for this generator.

I love the control panel, easy to understand.

I bought this online 11 days ago and just received it. I am excited with the DF feature, wheels already installed for easy maneuverability. I ran it today without a load. It started with the remote start the very first time and purrs like a kitten.

Perfect for my needs

Although I have not had a chance to use this product yet, it seems like a perfect fit for my intended use. It is rated for a pretty good amount of watts, It has a better fuel consumption rating, the noise output level, it’s small and relatively lightweight when compared to other inverter/generator in its wattage category

Quiet Generator with great features

I recently purchased the Westinghouse iGen4500DF generator, and I'm thoroughly impressed! This generator is an absolute powerhouse, providing reliable backup power whenever I need it. Its dual-fuel capability gives me flexibility, allowing me to use either gasoline or propane, which is incredibly convenient. One of the standout features for me is its efficiency. Despite its robust performance, it runs surprisingly quietly, making it suitable for use in various settings without causing disruptions. Plus, the remote start feature adds an extra layer of convenience, especially during emergencies when every second counts. The build quality is exceptional, with durable construction that instills confidence in its longevity. The control panel is user-friendly and intuitive, making operation a breeze even for those unfamiliar with generators. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The Westinghouse iGen4500DF generator has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance, versatility, and reliability. It's a fantastic investment for anyone looking for a top-notch backup power solution. Highly recommended!
