The electric start with the automatic choke has been excellent. I'm an old man (84 years old) and being able to just press a button to start the generator has been wonderful. It works every time. The long pull out handle makes moving the generator very easy. It is a well made unit.

Customer Review Phillip D. Johnson 5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely one of the finest piece of equipment purchased in a LONG time Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2022 Style: iGen4500DFcVerified Purchase I like everything about it. I have three larger generators, KOHLER, Briggs, but this takes the cake, also propane fueled. Have tried for days to put in URL for a FREECover, but have given up!

Set up was relatively easy except for incomplete info in manual re initial start up steps…in particular p16 “BEFORE STARTING THE GENERATOR”, step 3 “turn the fuel valve to the ON position. Where the heck is the Fuel Valve? Had to find some helpful youtube video to solve the mystery. Also the choke is not clearly located. Love the electric start. Really love the remote start, but the manual pull is a last resort for someone with bad shoulders.

I've reviewed and tested a number of other generators and this Westinghouse IGen 4500DF unit has all the bells and whistles. I am very impressed with the low sound rating, dual fuel and remote start options. No more cat calls when I startup this quiet generator in the campground.

I got it out of the box, added the oil, hooked up the battery. The first few times I tried it didn't crank. I gave it about a hour and tried it again and if fired right up. We have a fifth wheel camper and it will be perfect dry camping for football weekends. I have also found some good info on youtube for maintenance.

Unless I missed something I did not find instructions for setup and break in procedure. It came with oil easy enough just be careful when filling, mine obviously had some oil left in it because it over filled and about 4 oz's leaked out. The remote is clipped onto the recoil cord. Connecting the battery needed channel locks, very tight. Charge the battery through plug in on control panel. Have it running my smoker right now, runs great.

Bought this generator to be ready for the next wave of California intentional brown-outs. Wanted something quiet, so my popularity in the neighborhood wouldn't increase if my house had power vs everyone else! This inverter generator does the trick. For the first start, I used the remote to check the initial build and packaging effectiveness... fired up in 3 seconds, all options work, couldn't be more pleased. Highly recommend if you need the same.

I purchased this generator primarily for RVing after camping next to someone that was using the same model to power their camper. My Onan generator was much louder. This unit is quiet and efficient and I love the ability to run on a tank of propane instead of being dependent on gasoline only. I definitely recommend this unit.

I got this for home use. It arrived in good shape, with everything in the box that was supposed to be there. I added oil and (as noted in the instructions) there was some left in it so it didn't quite take the whole bottle. It started on the second try using propane and first try each time after that. I was expecting it to be quieter than my 20 year old open frame generator, but it was much quieter than what I had hoped for. It got as little louder with a 1200 watt vacuum cleaner connected and not in eco mode, but still very reasonable. At that load, you can stand 5 feet away with that load and have a conversation without speaking loudly. I haven't tried a larger load yet, but I doubt it will be annoying like the old generator.

Had it for only a few days, but using it each day for RV. Starts easily, runs smoothly and quietly. Provides all the electricity I need on propane. Great start for this piece of equipment. Item was well packed with styrofoam, but cardboard box had several cuts in it. Inspected it at the store, no damage to generator seen.
