Good cost to get remote start

Just got this 4500df, and after the way it was delivered I felt if it was to come out of the box and be in one piece and run I have got a good generator? Well I was happy to see it in one piece put the battery back in the gen. put oil and gas in and one pull was up and running. Time will tell on how long it will last?

SOOOO QUIET!

Bought specifically for the 52db, remote start and dual fuel. Much quieter than expected! We can stand next to it and have a normal conversation. Remote start and stop is fantastic for use with our 32’ 5th wheel. Runs the 13,500 AC and refrigerator easily on propane. Awesome generator.

Opening the box and instructions

Bought this in June, ready for hurricane season. Opened the box in early August ahead of hurricane Debby. Very well put together. Excellent operational instructions and user manual. Everything was supplied (except fuels, obviously), even the tools to do routine maintenance. Pretty darned quiet, easy to start and operate.

Love this Generator

My generator arrived yesterday. It was well packaged. and shipped without any damage. After adding the oil and fuel I tested out all the features and it performed fantastically! I got this one because of the electric start and remote start features. My wife can now start it up without me having to be there. I also like the fact that it has the built in wheels and handle that extends out to move it about in the garage. It is a bit heavy but weel worth it because of all the features. It has the propane fuel feature as well. I will try that out later but it's good to know I can use an alternate fuel source!! I hope to be using this unit in power outage situations as well. I think it's a great addition to my power needs.

Nice Features, good performance

Bought this about a month ago to replace/upgrade a previous generator that I'd owned for ~5 years. Things I like most: - Dual Fuel (LP/Gasoline) capability. - Switches easily from LP to gasoline (& vice versa) without having to shut down the generator. - Telescoping Handle - Long run time w/o refueling. Especially handy is being able to switch from LP to gasoline to facilitate swapping out LP tanks w/o having to shut down the generator. - Digital display of power output, runtime hours and fuel level. - Automatic choke - Inverter reset button Improvements: - Replacing the 3/8" flare fitting for LP with a quick-connect fitting - Adding a fuel shutoff switch (gasoline) - Using a hinged cover for the 30A and 20A connections...the soft rubber ones feel flimsy. - Relocate/re-engineer the transport handle to facilitate easier extension/pickup...having the handle so low tends to scrape knuckles ;-)

Everything you need, including a remote starter!

We have been through two fires, 2017 and 2019 in northern California where PGE disconnected the electricity. I have been looking for a dual fuel generator with a remote starter but could not find one. I was very close to purchasing a 3500 watt dual fuel generator from a different company but it did not have a remote starter. Then I stumbled on this one, 1000 watts more, dual fuel and with a remote starter! Love it!!

Tons of Power in a Relatively Small Package!

I used it for the first time this past week at a dry campsite in NY State. It worked flawlessly except I left the battery power switch on and it drained the battery. I'm a little annoyed that the recommended solution to fixing that problem is to plug it in to 110v AC power. Kinda hard to do that when you don't have power. I got a good chuckle out of that. It would be nice if there was some kind of audible alarm that lets you know the switch is still on after the generator has been turned off to avoid this exact situation.

Great Size

We have started this up and we are prepared to use it. It's very quiet and the remote start is amazing. As a Texan, who lived through not having power in 2021 winter, we are happy to know we will be able to heat our home and stay connected to news, when this happens again here in Texas. The wheels make this easy to move for us, as older adults, it's a great size for storage.

Better than advertised!

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.

dual fuel quiet and runs long

Happy i bought it, put about 25 hours on it. Runs good, quiet. efficient on gas as well. Loving the purchase. Con no gas stop or shut off in the gas line. Didn't like the oil plug location, but suppose you can just tip it over while using the oil nozzle they include would be worried about metal left in the oil pan with just tipping.
