Awesome quiet powerful generator

I bought this April 2019 from Home Depot online. Arrived very quickly to the store for pick up. Good packaging and instructions. Couldn't be happier with this purchase. Powers my camper effortlessly with air conditioner. Runs well on gas and propane, nice feature is the remote starter. Received many compliments on how quiet it is and questions while camping.

WESTINGHOUSE IGEN4500DF is a must have.

Nice little and very quiet Inverter Generator, plenty of power with a 4500 peak watts and 3700 running watts with a 30 AMP NEMA TT-30R that easily runs the essentials in my RV without problems. Very convenient to have dual fuels and a remote start, so I can be able to start my Generator without having to go out under the rain, wind, snow, cold, etc and pull the recoil cable or the push to start button and can be paralleled with others Inverter Generators duplicating the power when needed.

Great product for CA power shut downs

Only have a few hours on the unit, but great so far. Very low noise! Love the dual fuel feature, Had to use it as I was running low on gas, but had 4 tanks of propane.. Very easy to move around with the wheels and handle set up. Next project will be to install a transfer switch with 10 circuits so I can get rid of the cords in the house. Over all a great product for Calif. screwed up power issues today. Power off goes for days. And we still have the fires anyway. Wife is very happy as she doesn't have to worry any longer about power for her oxygen machine. This product is a life saver.

Excellent Generator

Only generator in its class, dual fuel and remote start! One some of the complains other have had, my plug was installed correctly and I did not have any issues with choke not working. Shipping was quick. Over all I am very happy, have about 40 hours on the unit so so far with no issues. I use propane only, the generator does lope a little when pulling low watts but I am starting to think it's the propane tank because it does not always happen. Unit is also very quite and the power flow is very stable. I have a gauge in the camper and with old gen it use to bounce around with this one it holds steady. Time will tell for reliability.

Wow!

This was the easiest new equipment start up ever. Opened the box, took it out. Hooked up the battery per the very good instructions, and added the oil. Connected it to the propane tank and pushed the start button on the remote FOB. It started right up on the first try. Wow this was so easy. I did a lot of research and comparing, read hundreds of reviews. This was a great decision. I will be using this for my RV and for power outages at home. I purchased a cargo carrier with a ramp, so I can roll this generator on to it, never having to lift it. The extending handle on this generator makes it VERY easy.

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.

Highly rated generator

Ive been waiting for this generator to be in stock for a long time. When I get it and go over everything before use(check plug gap, oil fill, pull operation, battery voltage, all fasteners, and all wiring. Upon pulling the front control panel I find that the plastic framing is split/cracked at least a foot from top to bottom. Not happy about lack of product inspection. This will ultimately shorten the life of this product due to increased vibration throughout the unit.

Runs awful out of the box

I bought this about a month ago and just began to use it. It's suffers from the same problem most people have out of the box with the choke issue. I'm debating on whether or not to return it and start all over again but I fear that I will end up having this problem as most do. You would think that by now they would have solve this issue since it's a clear manufacturing production defect. Still powers everything great. I don't truly regret it I just wish this thing would run the way that it supposed to without having to need to return it orDo the work myself to correct the problem. I feel I should be giving some sort of discount for having to deal with this

Started right up

I saw many reviews about issues with the choke and starting, so I crossed my fingers when I pushed the start button, but was pleased when the unit started up immediately. I ran it on both gas and propane. Running in ECO mode worked fine, with the unit adjusting according to load. The only problem I had was during setup where the battery hold down strap was lodged back by the oil filler location as you can see in the photos. After I fished it out it was a real chore to get the battery strapped down. The battery location and access are very poor design, no thought to maintenance. I have large hands and it was quite a job to get that strap connected. Anyway, so far so good. The real test will be when we have an outage.

Issues Right Out Of The Box

I'll start with the good. The fit and finish on this thing is pretty nice. The little fold up handle and wheels are super nice too when moving it around. Now for the bad. The eco button or throttle control does not seem to work properly. It fires up and runs, however it always runs at a pretty high throttle. The eco button doesn't drop the throttle down to idle as it should. When I put a load on it revs even higher, and when I take the load off it stays up at the higher throttle. When it is running at the higher throttle it pops and sputters. My dad bought the same generator and we compared them. His eco button causes the idle speed to drop way down. When he puts a load on it, it revs up, and when the load is taken off it revs back down to idle. In addition, his does not pop and sputter when a load is on it. I contacted customer support a few weeks ago and they issued a claim number but I have heard nothing else from them. Otherwise, if it were running properly, I would say this is a pretty nice generator. As I mentioned above, the fit and finish is good, the handle is a nice touch, and it is relatively quiet for 3700 running watts. I will update this review once the problem has been solved.
