My wife and I live in mariposa California the last storm dropped a big oak tree across our driveway. Pulling down the powerline. PG&E could not get here for two days, so we pluged in our generator, which promptly quit on us! I immediately got online and went through numerous reviews and decided on a Westinghouse inverter generator. My wife and I are extremely happy we did because this thing works amazing. Started on the first pole and runs nice and quiet, unlike our old conventional generator it also supplies, the perfect amount of power that we need. We’ve used it three times so far and are extremely happy with it!
Igen4500df worked well for two years. Remote electric start was one of the key reasons for purchase. It’s quite, delivers power well and is decent on run time. Unfortunately the electric start quit working about 18 months into ownership. I always keep it plugged in and checked the battery which has 13.4 volts so that’s not the problem. Just submitted a warranty request so hopefully they can resolve the problem.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought this to power an RV set up. so far so good - no complaints Started right up out of the box and even the remote was already paired. So far so good!
Would not start. Such a common problem that Youtube has a video to open the case (all 4 sides) to access the choke. I had to connect an electrical clip for the automatic choke. after that is started fine.
Nice working machine. Style looks nice. Power seems very well
I would recommend this to a friend!
