Westinghouse WGen4500DF Dual Fuel Generator, Open-Box Portable Power at Liquidation Pricing
n
This listing is a single unit: a Westinghouse WGen4500DF dual fuel generator, a gas-and-propane portable priced at $699 as an open-box, customer-return, or overstock unit rather than a sealed retail purchase. It is not a mixed pallet, it is one recognizable, brand-name machine you can resell, rent out, or keep for backup power. Comparable Westinghouse 4500-class dual fuel units carry roughly $550 to $1,000 in new retail depending on whether you land the open-frame WGen or the inverter iGen variant, so buying a lightly handled unit at this price leaves genuine spread for a flipper or a home buyer.

Specs & Condition of This Westinghouse WGen4500DF Dual Fuel Generator
n
Westinghouse rates its 4500-class dual fuel portables at roughly 4,500 peak watts and about 3,600 running watts on gasoline, with slightly lower output on propane, enough to run a refrigerator, a sump pump, lights, a window AC, and small power tools during an outage or on a job site. Core features across this family include:
n
- n
- Dual fuel, runs on regular gasoline or a standard 20 lb LP propane tank, so you are not stranded when one fuel runs short.
- Remote electric start plus recoil pull backup on most trims.
- A 224cc-class engine, telescoping handle and never-flat wheels for one-person moves.
- Standard household 120V outlets; many trims add an RV-ready or 30A outlet.
- Extended runtime, well over a dozen hours on a tank at partial load.

Because this is a liquidation unit, exact trim (WGen open-frame vs. iGen inverter, CO-sensor version, remote vs. recoil) and cosmetic state vary by piece. Expect a functional generator that may show shelf wear, an opened or scuffed box, or missing minor literature. Verify the model plate and included accessories on arrival; it is sold as-described, not as a factory-sealed retail box.

The Economics: What Portable Generators Actually Resell For
n
Portable generators hold value better than most returned merchandise because buyers shop them by brand and wattage, not by packaging. On the resale channels our customers use, a working Westinghouse 4500-class dual fuel unit typically clears these ranges:
n
- n
- eBay, open-box and used listings for this class commonly sit in the $450 to $900 band, with clean CO-sensor and remote-start trims at the top.
- Facebook Marketplace & OfferUp, local cash sales usually land $350 to $700, moving fastest right before storm season.
- Local flip / rental, resellers who test, clean, and add a fresh fuel line photo routinely ask $600+ and rent units by the day during outages.

At a $699 cost basis on a single unit, the margin is thinner than a bulk pallet, but the upside is certainty: you know exactly what you are getting, generators sell year-round, and demand spikes hard during hurricane, wildfire, and winter-storm seasons when new stock sells out. For a home buyer, the same math means backup power for hundreds less than a sealed shelf unit. The reseller edge is simple, a clean listing photo, a short "starts and runs" note, and honest disclosure of the open-box condition turn a routine return into a fast, trust-building sale.

Who Should Buy This Unit
n
This suits equipment flippers who test and relist on eBay or Marketplace, tool-and-power resellers building a generator inventory, rental operators and contractors wanting a spare, and homeowners and RVers who want a dual fuel backup without paying full retail. It also fits rural and off-grid buyers and small farms that need dependable standby power at a value price. If you need one dependable machine rather than a surprise assortment, a single-unit listing like this Westinghouse dual fuel portable is the cleaner buy, no manifest to sort, no dead SKUs to write off, just one proven product with a national resale audience.
