Been using it for several months and no issues. Turn it on hit the remote and it starts and is very quiet.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been meaning to purchase generator for years and a recent brief power outage I finally did it.
I researched my options and chose the Westinghouse 4500DF. I like the dual fuel option as I’m likely to have one or both fuel options on hand in when I need to use the generator.
The set up was easy and the unit started right up. I also like that it’s pretty quiet when running.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We bought this model for the dual gas feature and the remote control. If power goes out I know we will have heating or cooling available to us without having to go outside.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Checked ALL of My Boxes!

We had a very specific list of "must haves" for our new generator. We already have one for our home. This one is for our new travel trailer. It it our intention to do more dry camping, so a good genny is the place to start. Back to my list:
- We definitely wanted a dual-fuel generator. We do so much with LPG in the RV, it just made sense that a propane-fired generator would work well with our set up.
- We needed a smaller, more manageable size for a not-so-young-anymore couple. I was hoping for less than 100 lbs. Since we're going to have to haul that thing around, the open-frame type was out of the question. This one comes in at a close 98 lbs. But it has that great luggage-style, pull-out handle! On a flat surface, it only takes ONE of us to move it around!
- For the same reason, we needed more than just the recoil-start option. I am so done with pull-starting everything. With the push-button start, as well as a remote, this certainly fit the bill. (Although, if one must shut off the battery and close the propane valve, I suppose the remote control option is only good for the gas-powered starts?)
- Must provide "clean" power - we've got sensitive electronics in that RV.
- Speaking of that, the 30 amp RV receptacle was definitely on our list. Who wants to be fussing with adaptors and additional cords?
- Our rooftop A/C unit takes the most power of everything in the RV. The generator needed to have at least enough power to fire that baby up when it gets too hot outside. This one has MORE than enough power for that.... even at the initial start-up! The Eco-mode is a nice feature, as well, for keeping the normal power draw to a minimum. This leads me to...
- Last, but certainly not the least important box to check, the generator needed to be as quiet as we could get, while still checking off all of the above boxes. I gotta tell you, we just got this genny yesterday, and we've only started it twice. But, HOLY QUIET, BATMAN!!! My neighbor was blowing his leaves and when we stood in the street, our new generator was literally unheard over his blower. Really. Oh, and it started on the first push (NOT pull!) after installing the battery, adding oil, and hooking up the LP tank.

All of our boxes were checked off with our new iGen4500DF, so I checked off all the stars. I don't anticipate any problems in the future. But if they happen, I'll update. Happy camping!

After my friend bought one for his 5th wheel camper i measured and was shocked that this dual fuel generator fits inside my trailer generator box. Excellent design and runs smooth
