- 4 out of 5 stars review3/24/2024I had a gas generator, but the whole storing and keeping gasoline fresh was just a pain, so I never really had gas ready. But with this, there's none of that--and I already have propane for the bbq, and it doesn't go bad in a month--so it's always going to be ready!
Propane for the win!
dclaarOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review12/9/2021I just unboxed and the instructions were very clear to set this unit up. We filled the oil, connected the battery and hooked up the propane and with the push of a button, it fired right up. This generator is very quiet without any load and I'm sure will be similarly quiet with a load. We are ready to go camping in the middle of nowhere now!
Brand New
JMS75Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 4 out of 5 stars review9/20/2021I have seen many reviews and compared this model with the Champion 4650. I decided to go with this one. It has not disappointed so far. Only downside was it took 3 weeks to get to my house do to the carrier held it for 2 weeks at the local facility. None of Westinghouse's fault.
Looks Great
Titan49Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review8/26/2019Finally a Duel Fuel portable inverter generator that will run my entire camper 30A. Light enough to lift 1 person (Adult Male in decent shape). Pulled out of the box, connected battery, filled oil and hooked up a propane tank. Push start button and fired right up. Amazingly quieter than my old generator. Great job Westinghouse.
Light Weight for Output. Fired up first try
TimoCOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 4 out of 5 stars review6/18/2021I was pleased to see that the generator came with a remote start. I had to request another FOB because the one that came with the generator would only start it, it would not turn it off. It is not as powerful as I had hoped, but I believe it will work.
Remote start/stop a must
Chuck 61Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review1/11/2022Only received it today and after going through the manual, adding oil and hooking up the battery it started right up (I did pull the manual start rope slowly several times to circulate the oil and lubricate everything before starting). I plugged it into my Fifth wheel and ran the furnace for about an hour, then turned on the Air Conditioners. It started and ran both the front 13K and rear 15K air conditioners. Much quieter than my open frame generator was but you can still hear it. I only ran it about 2 hours but first impressions are that I like it a lot.
Nice Generator
Gedwards1149Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review10/24/2022We bought this for emergency backup power for our home. It is exactly what we needed and had been looking for. One of the most important factors was how quiet the unit is when operating. In addition, we wanted dual fuel capability. Glad we purchased the Westighouse iGen4500DF! Perfect for our home!
Perfect for Our Home!
TamiCOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 4 out of 5 stars review7/15/2021Packaging did it's job but wasn't the best or the worst. Had to connect battery, add oil (they give you almost twice what you need), and connect propane and it started right up. Will see how it lasts over time. I have a larger westinghouse generator that still works fine from 5 years ago.
Works well
Geoff In TNOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review8/31/2021This is a great Generator, the duel opportunity allows you an advantage as to have back up,,,not loud like other generators....I love that my wife has no trouble moving the unit and starting it up.....I am a paraplegic so this is a saving grace. And it also comes with a free cover.
easy start up
Fred JrOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 4 out of 5 stars review9/15/2021I just finished breaking this in using only propane. I hooked it up to or camper and ran the AC at different speeds, water heater on and off, keeping loads under 50%. The only time I had an overload was when I stepped the AC from low cool to high cool too fast... Need to let the generator catch up to the current load before asking too much - which is to be expected. So far so good. Will be taking it to the mountains for first trials in a couple of weeks.
So far so good
AirbarronOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review3/17/2022I bought two of these generators to power our RV as well as multiple blow up structures and appliances. The two can split up all the items or run in parallel and handle everything together. The propane option is great. Easy to transport, longer expiration date, doesn't stink up the RV and when switching from gas to propane, the machine actually cleans our the carburetor. Couldn't be happier!!
Great Product
Blaze22Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review6/12/2021Works great for camper. Only used once for camping can run everything on our camper at the same time. It was on the hitch mount carrier and could not hear it inside with TV on low volume. No more setting generator 50ft away from camper to have a conversation. Don't try to start on eco mode, if it doesn't start the first try, check the eco mode switch.
Great for camping
CaspianOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review10/5/2021Bought a month ago and so far have just run an hour or so to put some of the break-in time on it. Plugged into camper an ran the air conditioner to put about a 50% load on it and varied wattage draw by turning on various other items. Easily handled this and the wattage draw indicated by the generator remained steady. Ran using propane.
quiet power
ja62Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 4 out of 5 stars review7/5/2024Operates as advertised, very heavy and relatively quiet. Will not operate with auxiliary propane line from camp trailer. Nowhere in the manual or web description does it identify how much propane pressure is required. Will only operate directly from a portable tank.
Nice but propane needs high pressure
camper123456789Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review4/6/2021Unpacked it and added the oil and connected the battery, used the included hose for the propane hook up and it started right up!!!! I heard it was quiet, but man up close and personal soooo quiet!! Built a generator box for it, but don;t think i will have to use it!!! Thanks Westinghouse for a really good product.
GREAT GENERATOR
chubs333Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review6/5/2023Received this today..couldnt wait to open it up and get it running. box was in near perfect condition which tells me a lot about the freight handlers ( I worked in trucking for thirty years). p[ut oil in ..hooked up the propane hose ..read the instructions..and all is good! Can't wait to go camping. thanks.
Started second try!
Mike262Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 4 out of 5 stars review5/7/2022I purchased this generator to power the air-conditioner in my trailer and my CPAP machine and it has no problem doing so. It started first time on Propane and then again first time on gas. The only issue we had was (just what some other reviews stated and thank goodness they did so we could easily find the problem) it ran really rough because the ground wire was not connected, so we had to remove the housing connect the wires, to resolve the issue.
Duel Fuel great benefit
Chris1Originally posted onwestinghouse.com - 4 out of 5 stars review5/24/2024So i can't really leave a crazy in depth review right now because i just picked up the generator today and this is all i have for now. After removing from the box I put in the oil that it came with, connected the battery and hooked it up to my propane tank. After following all directions the generator fired right up no problem. After running it for a bit i wheeled it out and tested it out on my camper and it powered everything up. If I'm being completely honest, the build does seem a bit on the cheap side so only time will tell how it does overall but right out of the gate it seems like it's going to work! Oh and the remote that it came with is a very nice feature!
So far so good!
JD in MTOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 5 out of 5 stars review11/26/2021I just got this and am very happy with the way it looks and the workmanship of the item. We will use this for our RV. It is powerful enough to run anything we have with power to spare. Though we have not used it yet I think it will be what I want/need.
Very Nice Generator
John/JenOriginally posted onwestinghouse.com - 3 out of 5 stars review9/20/2021Shipping delayed, ordered generator 9/8/2021 & didn't receive it until 9/18/2021. Opened the box on 9/20/2021 and right out of the box, the regulator did not work. Registering the generator before we even cranked it so that we can get support for the regulator. It is a very impressive looking generator with really nice features. We just hope the generator runs once we get a new regulator.
Problems right out of the box
