This generator is very compact and starts like a dream. The remote comes in handy at night so you can stop generator without going outside. Just remember to turn power switch off in the morning or after using the generator for more than 12 hours. If the switch is left on it will drain the battery over a 12 hour period. The weight of the the generator is approx. 100lbs and may need the help of anoter person to lift. I haul this in the back of my pick up truck but bear in mind that the generator needs to breath otherwise the co2 monitor will shut the engine down. I like this generator and would highly recommend to anyone.

I bought this unit specifically because of the electric start and propane capability. I've had dual fuel generators in the past that are difficult to start on propane. This one fired right up out of the box and now 5 days later will not start on propane. It does run nice and quiet. Too early to tell if its going to work out.

Set up is easy, and break in isn't bad. Draining oil is kind of a hassle being in a tight spot. But its a necessary evil to keep your equipment going strong. Runs what we need for power outages, and handles our camper great. Being a popup we never have the generator loaded up all the way, which really helps with the fuel economy of it.

I just received this generator for my birthday! I plan to use it for my camper! So far am very pleased with the performance and quality! It should power everything I need it to power and more. Its dual fuel so a can run on extra gas I've got for my truck or the propane I use for my camper. They provide everything you need to get this thing up and running for both gas and propane except for the fuel! The remote start fob is already pared so that makes life a little easier! I cant speak on the long term reliability yet, I'm not even though my 5 hour brake in yet but I'm excited to put this thing to some real use! But so far this generator has been super simple to get started, just add the provided oil with the provided funnel and some fuel and shes ready to go (into break-in period). It is defiantly quitter than I expected especially when its on eco mode! The included battery charger for the onboard battery that plugs right into the face of the generator is a very welcome addition as well, that one less thing you have to buy and one less process you have to go though to keep this thing up and running. And its worth noting that I have had zero choke issues! I think this is the latest and greatest model because both my USB ports are 2.1 amp. I think some of the older ones had a 1.something and a 2.1amp USB port instead of both being 2.1, the included oil funnel is a different than most sights have photos of, and the manual is a little different than the one you can download online (Home Depot). So maybe they worked the choke out! Only complaint so far is the oil drain hole on the bottom of the generator is a little small and it's kinda hard to not make a mess. A drain tube that you could lead out of the hole would be a nice addition. But if that continues to be my only complaint I am 100% satisfied!

I just received my generator and am very impressed so far. Generator was packed well with Styrofoam surrounding it and was in great condition right out of the box. I bought this generator to power my RV and wanted a quiet running dual fuel generator which this is. It has a remote start and all the features I was looking for. It is a great looking unit and I should get good use out of it.

I needed a generator to use with our RV trailer. I live on the Gulf Coast with frequent Hurricanes. Due to the hurricanes gasoline is sometimes hard to find so I knew I wanted something dual fueled. The Westinghouse 4500DF is dual fueled. I wanted a generator to power my Travel Trailer with the correct 30amp jack to power my camper. The 4500 has the proper jack for campers. Remote start for when I don't want to start or stop the generator early in the morning or in the middle of the night. I wanted a large fuel tank that would allow me to run over night. I wanted something to tell me how much fuel was in the tank, what voltage I was running, how long I had until the fuel was out, and when I needed to change the oil and other maintenance. The 4500DF has all of those features. I needed something that was electric start. What if my battery is down? Can I pull start it? Yes to both. I needed something quiet. I needed something reliable. With the Westinghouse IGen4500DF I picked the generator that was right for me. I looked at other generators and they had some similar features, but not all of the ones the Westinghouse had. I considered many other brands but for the price the Westinghouse offered what I needed. And in addition 4500 starting amps I got more than I was looking for. I have used this generator for almost a year. It starts first time still. At 98lbs, I can load it on our truck. I have run my 4500 for over 15 hours on one tank of fuel, (I fueled it before it ran out of fuel). It came complete with everything you needed to use propane including the propane regulator. After using my generator for almost a year I am glad I picked the Westinghouse IGen 4500DF.

I bought this from Amazon and it came quickly. I opened up all access points and checked it over for loose wires or damage in shipping, found nothing wrong and added the oil. I haven't had any outages since it came, but I ran it for two hours, on gas and on propane, and it ran well, powering a portable heater at different loads. I am a little concerned about draining the oil when the time comes. The manual that came with the generator said to tip the generator to one side with the fill plug out and let it drain back out. That seems like it will get all over the inside of the case. The online manual suggests that there is a small bolt to remove just above the rubber plug in the bottom. That may be better. Time will tell.... Anyway, I am ready for our next power outage.

Severe storms rolled through the area and lost power for 25 minutes. Neighbors were out for up to two weeks so decided to invest in inverter generator to keep furnace on in winter and fridge and freezer working in summer. Works great, started right up and provided flicker free stable power.

When I was shopping for a new generator, I decided on the iGen4500DF for the dual fuel option, the LED data display, the high wattage output, along with low noise. I was sure it was going to be enough to support the power requirements of our travel trailer and get us through a power outage if needed, but the surprise was how easily it handles it all! Plugged into our trailer, it doesn't struggle at all to run the furnace or A/C. The only thing I could even consider to be a down side, would be the weight...it is a little heavy. Not for one with a bad back (definitely lift with the legs)! All in all though, it has exceeded my expectations and would absolutely recommend this machine to anyone looking for a quality generator that has high output and super low noise! I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

I have not been able to use it on my Travel Trailer yet. But, so far so good. I received my generator fast, and came un damaged. I connected my LP tank to it, really easy set-up. Started up on the second push of the start button. Ran a little rough for the first minute or two, then smoothed out. I would recommend this generator.
