5000 Peak Watt Super Quiet Dual Fuel Portable Inverter Generator, Remote Electric Start, Gas & Propane Powered, RV Ready, CO Sensor, Parallel Capable

Very nice product. Ample for our needs. Packaged well. Came a day early. Wheels & pull out handle are built in which makes it easier for me to move with Arthritis. It is housed in durable plastic case. Easy to prepare & easy to start. Gas tank cap is an easy grip. It really is so much quieter & the remote start is perfect. It still has manual start if you need it. Duel fuel is perfect as well for home & camping needs should we need. Came w remote faab, propane tank tubing & adapter, oil & funnel & necessary tools. I had also purchased one for my son during the '25 storm and it was perfect for his little home. Suggest 2 people to lift this durable generator. It is solid-does not wobble around. I have arthritis & if I can use it- easy for others.

[Discussion:] So far (about 2 hours in) I’m very pleased with the iGen4500DFc. Carton showed some signs of shipping abuse, but generator was well packed and had no damage. I purchased this generator for emergency household power and occasional light recreational use. Seems sturdy/durable enough to do occasional short bursts of field work. Output density (my definition: running output amps per cubic foot of required storage space), running noise level, ease of operation, low total harmonic distortion (THD), fuel efficiency/available run-time, and availability of repair parts topped my list of concerns. The iGen4500DFc nails it. Dual-fuel capability out of the box sweetens the deal. The iGen4500DFc is quiet (as compared to open frame generator models). In the first hour of break-in running, at just under half load, on gasoline, I measured 73dB SPL A-weighted @ 1m. Generally speaking, this noise level falls between the interior of a car driving on the highway and a vacuum cleaner. The well insulated case does a good job of rolling off the high frequencies. The result is a steady thrum with a broad, smooth peak at about 750Hz. [Overall:] If you’re looking for a light-duty/recreational inverter generator that’s quiet, compact, powerful, and solidly built, look no further. The iGen4500DFc is an excellent choice. [Pros:] +Well-built +Quiet +Compact +Good value for money +Starts immediately +Electric push-button and remote start! Great for my shoulder and for my partner when I’m not around. Just in case, the unit still has well-located (if a bit less so for lefties) recoil start +Eco mode (throttles to demand for loads with a low startup draw) for enhanced efficiency +Great included accessories. Comes with a bottle of engine oil for the first fill, a screw-in long-neck funnel, and a small utility tool kit including a screwdriver, 17/19mm open end wrench, and a two-piece stamped spark plug wrench. The spark plug wrench is tricky to use inside the cramped case (I ended up using a 13/16 spark plug socket, wobble adapter, extension, and ratchet) +Dual fuel. Comes with propane regulator and hose! +Efficient and long-running w/large 3.4gal fuel tank. At just under half load (w/ 94°F ambient air temp., 53%RH, and 93 octane (non-REC) gasoline) I saw around a 0.3gal/hr. burn rate +Owner’s manual is excellent and comprehensive (though there are some crossover data/specs inserted from the iGen5000 model to watch out for) +Moving. Easy to move on smooth/level/dry surfaces. Has an excellent hideaway “suitcase” handle. Unit has excellent bar-handles and is compact/light-weight enough for me to lift into truck bed/onto work bench alone when no one else is around to help +Safety. Great safety features (incl. CO auto-shutoff, overload shutoff, low-oil shutoff, resettable fuses) +Display. Nice multi-function information display panel, if a bit confusing at first run (display data cycles through multiple parameters with the press of a small thumb button). Easy to read digital bar-style gauges for at-a-glance gasoline and load percentage readings +Battery charger. Box includes generator battery charger, though it’s not a “battery tender.” More a plug in and top off once a stored month deal. Nice to have it included +Repair/PM parts readily available on Amazon and through Westinghouse [Cons (and I’m nitpicking):] -Case plastics. The plastic is soft. Very soft. Scratches/gouges on contact with everything harder than a fingernail (Mohs hardness 2.0). My thumbnail leaves discolored scratches that don’t “wipe” away, but does not leave a discernible grove in the plastic surface. Great that the plastics likely won’t shatter/crack with anything less than a major impact. Bit of a bummer that even the over-tightened screws from the factory discolor the plastics. If you’re fussy about the appearance of your equipment, the plastics might drive you a bit nuts -Wheels. The wheels are made from a relatively slippery blow molded plastic. They do the job, but feel cheap to me -Moving. Challenging to move on rough surfaces due to low ground clearance under center of chassis -Oil changes. Changing the oil on this unit is not easy/quick. The oil access panel is tiny and seems designed for dipstick access only. For oil changes, the factory drain assembly mostly lines up with a hole in the chassis pan. Fair enough. Getting two wrenches (10mm and 13mm) through the access panel, into place, and spinning is a trick. Prepare to remove the side panel for oil changes or do what I did: order and install an oil drain extension hose (can be fed carefully through the body-pan hole when it’s time to drain). Alternatively, you can cut the top off of a water bottle to use as a drain funnel. Speaking of oil, consider adding a magnetic dipstick to your order to catch/collect the inevitable small-engine ferrous flecks -Electrical outlets. Wish there was a second set of 5-20R 120V outlets. That said, the control panel is very full. No room to add an aftermarket toggle switch (say, neutral bond/float) -Switching to bonded neutral isn't as straight-forward as it could be. Floating neutral is likely the best choice for the majority of users. However, I do not plan to connect to a breaker panel (household or RV). Running stand-alone with extension cords, I want the added safety of a GFCI device. The common advice is to use a bonded neutral plug. Which would be okay, if it didn't require half of the available 5-20R outlets -Propane hose. Awesome that a propane hook-up hose is included. The hose I received is 33 inches (or ~84cm) long, including the fittings, which, when connected, places the propane cylinder too close to running generator for my preference -No 12VDC “accessory” plug onboard -No phone app or WiFi/bluetooth connectivity -Panel LED indicators bright enough to read on the surface of the sun. No option to dim

Ordered the Westinghouse Outdoor Power Equipment 4500 Peak Watt Super Quiet Dual Fuel Portable Inverter Generator, Remote Electric Start, Gas & Propane generator thru Amazon on sale for just over $700. This is basically the same as the Onan 4500.I bought it for our RV. It runs everything for our 30A RV all at the same time. Very quite for 4500w. See other reviews for sound comparison. Basically as quite as any 3000w+ generator. Runtime was the highest fir any I compared with. Significantly higher than many. I have run mine through the break-in period an changed oil. I added the magnetic oil plug and it definitely worked. It picked up the fine oil filings from break in and oil looked clean. Have only got about 10 hours on it but it fires up great each time ; Remote or pull start. Runs everything in our 30A RV simultaneously including single AC and microwave. Appears there is margin above those loads based on my Power Watchdog reading. It just revs a little when AC loads. It is appx 100 lbs so a little challenging to load by yourself. Photos show it mounted on front of the RV on. Stromberg Carlson rack to allow easy connection to propane. See my review of the rack. I am very pleased with it’s performance. I followed it on Amazon for a while and found the sale price for the dual fuel comes about every couple or three months. It was about $700 during the week before Prime day. Info. I noticed I’m reading many reviews that many of the negative reviews were due to the battery not working. As you can find on YouTube. This was frequently caused by one of the plug connectors coming apart during shipment. They may have fixed the connector issue or not but it is an easy fix if mine ever has the issue. This was the only duel fuel inverter generator I found with the remote start feature. Some gas models have remote start but don’t offer it for the dual fuel version. I wanted it to all starting generator from inside RV in cold mornings when I wanted to fire up coffee maker. I use Harbor Freight many time and their Predator inverter generator was considered but didn’t have the extra 1000 starting watts and didn’t have the remote features. I also liked the Champion 4500 but it didn’t have the remotes with duel fuel but was a very good alternative. Hondas are great but didn’t have the features and at 2x+$$ I chose the Westinghouse 4500DF.

easy to operate and surprisingly quiet. excellent product

Bought this shortly after my neighbor got his. We were all so impressed, now several people in my neighborhood own one. Likes: - Extremely quiet - quieter than my other neighbors Honda that only makes about 1/2 the power. - Plenty of output for most home uses. - Well packaged ... comes with everything you need, including tools - Extremely well written owners manual (they weren't kidding about checking the oil when filling it up for the first time either. It starts to get full at about 0.5 qts ... not with entire bottle that comes with it. You can probably imagine how I figured that out) - Is fairly easy to roll around, especially with the built-in handle. - Shipping was extremely fast ... particularly with over 1MM people out of power. Hurricane Helene knocked our local power out on a Friday, and my neighbor ordered one from Amazon that day. His was delivered Tuesday! Dislikes ... I'm reaching a bit here: - For some folks, the unit may be fairly heavy (I believe it is about 60 kg / 120 lbs or so - check the specs on the listing) If you want one that is easy to pick up and move up stairs, you may want to get a lighter / less powerful model ... or get a longer extension cord. I think the weight of this is reasonable for how much power it produces, and is no problem at all for me to roll around on a relatively flat surface - like a paved driveway. I could pick it up if I needed to, like when I got it out of the box, but I'll try to avoid that in the future. Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase. Once I saw this thing in action, I had to have one.

This generator is great. Quiet, uses propane or gas and is powerful.

Just got back from a caming trip while using this generator for the 1st time. 1. Ordered on Sunday & had it by the next day (Monday) 2. Very easy to hook up battery, fill with oil (which came with the unit and supplied the funnel that screws into oil plug for a no spill mess) 3. Generator fired right up with first hit of the remote start. 4. The telescoping handle is awesome for moving the unit around. 5. Love that it runs on gas & propane (even the propane hose & adapter come with unit). 6. Very quiet unit even when running AC unit in camper. 7. My wife loved how she could even start the unit with the remote from inside the camper while the door was even shut & unit was over 50 feet from the camper. Also at night shut unit down from in bed when done watching TV. 8. Great information from all digital gauges on run time & amount of run time before out of fuel. 9. Also like the sensors that shut the unit down for Carbon Monoxide & poor air intake to protect from overheating. ( I had set a wooden box box in front of the generator and within minutes the unit shut down. Could not figure out at first why it kept shutting off. Then moved the box and relized it was in front of the air intake. Untit ran flawless then. This is a GREAT unit!!! I researched MANY units for about 1 year before deciding on this one. You won't be disappointed with this unit. The price is Great for eveything this unit offers.

Perfect right out of the box. Only used it a few hours adding different loads. It seems to power our whole RV just fine. Quiet.

I really liked the purchase, it is very quiet, in the video I connected a small heater of about 1150 watts, you can see the generator screen consumption, it was at about 25% load, my idea is to connect in addition to that load, the refrigerator, the television and some lights, I imagine that with that I reached about 75% load, I would use it for camping and in case there is no electricity in the house due to snow or a big storm. It works with gasoline and gas, for the gas connection it comes with all the necessary hoses for connecting it to the tank, it comes with oil for the engine, very good instructions and user documentation, I am very satisfied and of course I recommend it.

Using this generator for our horse trailer with living quarters. It's easy to carry and to operate and extremely quiet!! It does everything I expected and as depicred. Great purchase!!

Fast delivery. Runs very quiet, is powerful, and performance is as advertised.

QUIET AND DEPENDABLE

Purchased for our cabin. Surprised how quiet it is. Very easy to start on propane. Easy maneuvering with extension handle. 100% satisfied.
