Perfect Generator for Camping!

Everything arrived promptly in great shape. It was up and running in minutes. The generator is super quiet and supplies full 30 amp continuous power to our camper. The electric and remote start makes it super convenient. Thank you for designing it with the 30 AMP RV plug instead of a standard generator plug - no adapters needed! The pull out handle and the top handles make is easy to maneuver and secure when needed. The digital display showing remaining fuel, run time, and power draw is fantastic.

Awesome Inverter Generator (iGen4500)

Super quiet and powerful enough to use as a source of power for an entire off-grid cabin home. The remote control is fantastic to have. Fuel efficient means it can run an entire day on eco mode on one fill up. At first I bought the Westinghouse generator (not inverter) and it was way too loud and super heavy. This Inverter is night and day different, invest the extra money to get this inverter, you’ll be glad you did. The only thing I don’t like about this iGen4500 is the oil change door is very poorly designed, it’s off center from the drain bolt and too small to fit an average medium sized adult male hand through the door. The bottom drain hole in the case shell could also have been a door instead of a hole with a plug. Terrible design for oil changes, I’m not sure what kind of product design team thought it was okay.

Very quiet, starts easily - great value

I bought this for our camper. It powers everything on it. I did however had to connect the electric choke wire to the module. After that, it started & ran perfectly. It is quiet & powerful, and I feel it is a great value for the price. LOVE THE REMOTE START!!!!

Quiet and compact

I own a Honda EU7500 generator which I love but was looking for something smaller, so I thought to give Westinghouse a try. The price point is amazing for the quality and features. I live in California where every household almost requires a generator for weather or power shut-off events. It runs very quiet, similar to my Honda, maybe a little quieter. My only complaint so far is the accessibility and ease of changing the oil, which happens more often than you may think, every 50 hours. I understand in order to keep it compact all the parts are placed accordingly, but if you have big hands this will be a serious chore. When changing the oil and removing the oil plug I have had issues with only loosing and removing the plug itself. there is an 1 1/2 inch stem between the bottom of the engine block and the oil plug and it continuously is what unscrews instead of just the oil plug. I have not contacted Westinghouse to seek a resolve to this issue so Im unsure of the severity or remedy to this situation. Overall it seems to be a solid generator and I would recommend it for its quality and price.

Ease of use

Very quiet! Seems to be designed with safety in mind, exhaust and hot surfaces are well away from controls. Super layout of the control panel! Doesn't look heavy but it is so use caution when unpacking or moving. Checking for the correct oil level could be easier. Very difficult to see and judge the correct level.

Compact and lighter than most with equal capabilit

I bought this in early March of 2022. I finally got it set up. I was looking for something under 100 lbs that would do the job and this fit the bill. It was rather easy to set up, except it would for access to the oil. It is easier with small hands, but I sure get it. This unit is compact, started right up with the auto start and very quite out of the gate. I am happy with this purchase, since I have back issues and will need this to be mobile if needed. This is an insurance policy for the house and refrigerator and freeze if needed. Hoping to never really needed, but for the purpose I bought it for the weight, wheels, quiteness and auto start are going to make me sleep a bit better.

Home Power Backup Insurance

We bought the iGen4500 DF to provide backup power for our all electric home when we have power outages, which we seem to be having more often. This generator easily provides power for our 2 refrigerators and a freezer giving us the peace of mind that we won't loose our food. It also provides enough spare power to run many of our other needs to sustain living in our house after a storm or other outages. We got the Dual Fuel model as we also have propane tanks just in case there are gasoline shortages.

Great Features, Loads Of Power And Remote Starting

I just purchased this unit after spending considerable time comparing what was available in the inverter generator market and I have to say I'm pleased with my choice! The package comes with everything you need to get going except fuel. Initial set up was a breeze. After I unpacked the generator I think I had it up and running in well under 5 minutes. Once it was running I was amazed by how quiet is was for a generator of this size. Next I proceeded to test it with my camping trailer and it was able to remotely start it over 30' away and then simultaneously power the AC and the microwave without any indication that it was working hard at all.

Great feachers

Bought did a test run. Everything seemed to work great. Only negative is I keep it stored in my garage but now I can’t get the smell of gasoline to stop. No spills or leaks just a strong gas smell won’t go away. I’m on day 5. Every thing is shut off on the generator.
