Have had this generator for 60 days, would not start after a few days with the battery switch on, which you must do to start remotely, took to get it serviced, was told the battery isn't charged properly. Called Westinghouse tech and was told battery switch cant be left on. In other words you have to turn off after using, and then go back and turn on before starting!!! How can this be considered remote start!! Very disappointed!

I bought this to use with my 17' trailer - primarily used for hunting in the winter months. The fact that it uses propane means that I just need one fuel source for both my generator and trailer furnace. The cherry on top is the remote start. Instead of cranking on my old generator for 15 minutes in sub zero temps just to get it to turn (that was me last year), I just push the start button from the comfort of my sleeping bag. So, in conclusion, it's pretty awesome.

I have only owned this generator for a few days, but have been researching this unit and competitors for some time. The dual-fuel capability is a real plus for me, as I plan to use this to run a travel trailer, and we always have propane on board. Initial setup was pretty painless, and it starts very easily now that we've got it running the first time. The motor runs very quietly, and the output easily powers the A/C and other accessories in my camper. The plastic trim around the control panel seems to have been damaged in shipping, but it doesn't affect the operation at all, and I'm sure that this product will see plenty of scrapes and impacts as we use it for many years. Overall I'm pleased with this purchase, and would make the same choice again if given the opportunity.

We have been looking for a back up power supply that had good features, is easy to use and is reasonably priced. The iGen4500DF fits the bill. Although I only picked it up just yesterday, I am very pleased with the unit. After filling the crankcase with the provided oil, and connecting the included (and charged) battery it started on the first press of the button. Note: the key fob (another great feature) worked first try too. After letting it warm up for few minutes, I connected it to our refrigerator and a couple of running shop tools in my garage and it handled the load no problem. While I do not look forward to loosing power in the future, I can now breath easier with the iGen4500DF in our garage.

We just bought this and are so pleased already. It started right up which was a great beginning! It is as quiet as advertised… no louder than one of our old 2000 watt generators and a whole lot quieter than the 5000 watt open frame we had to rent last year. Winter do your worst. We are ready with our new Westinghouse iGen4500DF generator. We are also looking forward to dry camping with it…it is an upgrade over our 2 daisy-chained Champion generators.

perfect condition out of box.30 minutes unpack,read instructions,fill oil,connect battery,hookup propane,inspect everything,push start,fired right up! outside running now,breaking in.have oil radiator heater plugged into generator on low,medium,high.very quiet.great features.gunna order high altitude carb kit for mountains.uncertain times,nice rv/backup generator.try to run on LP only for now.keeping lots of emergency fuel to go with generator,LP stored lasts long time.

I only just received it and started it up. A word of warning - don't try and fit the entire bottle of oil, even though it says it should fit. I also had trouble replacing the dipstick/oil plug. It's either poorly machined or the plastic plug is too soft. Also, it's not as quiet as I expected, although it is supposed to be quieter than comparable models. Other than those caveats, I am happy with the features and capabilities of this unit. For me it is everything I need in an emergency generator.

Bought a pair of these to run in parallel, the features seemed amazing and it was exactly what I was looking for to power my RV. But one of the pair of generators kept overloading right out of the box while the other operated perfectly. I managed to isolate the issue to the motor of one of the pair and am now in the process of making a warranty cliam. Very disappointed to have to deal with this while my family is trying to enjoy camping. Now we are delayed while Westinghouse deals with this, lord only knows how long that will take.

Just received this generator dual fuel 4500 so far so good did the breaking. Getting ready to take a trip in two weeks to test it out on the living quarters horse trailer will say this changing the oil is a real painand they need to come up with a better system on an adapter to make it easier

Fuel, Oil and connect the battery. Fired up on 2nd pull. Checked remote start and push button, both started it up immediately. Quick load test from my spare fridge and everything is looking and sounding great. No real run time to speak of just yet that's the only reason for 4 out 5 stars. Recommend keeping the oil container for future service.
