Excellent product

I bought this generator because I am in a zone in California where our power company shuts off our power when it gets windy and dry during a Santa Ana wind event. I work at The Home Depot and most of our generators were sold out in the store by the time our first wind event started. I'm glad I wasn't impulsive and just bought any old generator, even though my power had been cut off twice in a week. I started researching and I noticed the Westinghouse generators had excellent reviews, better than the rest as a whole. What I wanted was something quite, electric and remote start, was able to power the tv, computer, the fridge, the toaster oven, microwave ,the water pump for the well, washer, dryer , a hot plate, and lights. Of course you can't run everything at once but I can run the fridge and the microwave and 3 bright 5000 lumen led lights at once. Just have to be careful what your turning on. It is very quite, not like rest of the generators in the neighborhood. I can barely hear it in the house. Very efficient too! Has a power saving switch where it runs at idle until you put a load on it so it saves fuel. I run it on propane because it's cheaper, cleaner and stores a long time unlike gas. This unit is for you if you like it quite and are not concerned with only running more than 2 major appliances at once, don't want to pull start an engine, save fuel and actually move it by yourself with relative ease with a telescopic handle.

Easy to set up and start

It's the Westinghouse oven 5000DF. Easy set up , book repeated a lot but had a quick set up list for set up after reading the manual.Only used once but ran my 30amp camper , using the furnace, microwave, tv, lights and dehumidifier. Ran strong, durable. So far a good value for the money. The oil access is hard to see when trying to fill it because it's so low to the ground, took a while. Strong generator. Very easy to move with the telescoping handle and wheels. Easy to use with propane.

I’m forced to review prior to trying it

I got this a few weeks ago, just read the manual, I’m gonna try it out tomorrow but in the process of getting it set up I decided to register the product. In order to get the freebie I had to agree to do the review but as noted above I haven’t even use the product. These guys should allow one to write the review later on.

Great item at an awesome price

Researched invertor generators and discovered this is one of the highest rated. So many features (remote or electric start, size, and dual fuel) and at a very reasonable price, it even fits under the hard cover on my truck pick-up bed. This will work for camping and emergency home use.

Love this generator!! So Versatile!!

We bought this generator to power our travel trailer. Our favorite feature is it's dual fuel capability. It is so great to be able to operate using propane especially when camping while not having the gas fumes to deal with. The electric start is fantastic and having a wireless remote control is the icing on the cake. It's so nice to be able to start the generator from inside our travel trailer on cool mornings. It was so easy to set up and operate and started on the first attempt. It is also so nice to have the LED display with remaining run time, remaining fuel and lifetime hours data is really helpful. The Gen4500DF is so very quiet for such a large generator! I couldn't get over how you can be standing right beside it while running and have a pleasant conversation with someone. Other great features are the telescoping handle and the never flatting wheels. For such a large generator that really makes it so easy to move it around when needed. I am so glad we purchase this Westinghouse generator. It has really been a great asset for our camping adventures! We are heading to Florida for our next trip and I know we will have no worries with our power needs because of wonderful generator.

IGen 11000TFc

I just purchased this generator, and have only unpacked it. I must say the packaging was top drawer. Once I get it assembled, which shouldn't take long, and break it in, I'll complete an honest review. Love the many features this unit has to offer. Right now, I can only choose 4 stars because I have not run this equipment.

Super quiet and efficient! Runs my 13,500 BTU AC!

This is the second Westinghouse inverter generator that I've purchased. First one is a WH2000iXLT that I use around the farm for running power tools as needed. Was so pleased with the quality that I bought the iGen4500DF to run the AC in my horse trailer. The generator's extremely quiet (and efficient!). Can start it with the remote & run it off of gas and when empty, switch it over and continue running on the propane bottles. Great value! You get a lot for your money with this unit.

Waiting to see on performance

Say one. Did as the manual instructed, filled with the supplied oil, filled with gasoline. Then some had suggested run without load, then mixed load, power off & cool down, and repeat a couple of time. On the 30 amp load ran for a good while then just shutdown. would not restart. Called the support line, and it appeared to have too much oil. Manual very unspecific on where exactly to stop. Would be nice to say "put in 10 ounces, put in 2 cups, not keep putting in oil AND screwing in and out the dip stick 8 times until you think it's good. Anyway. Got it running again and 10 min later died again. By this time to late in day to mess with it anymore. Testing at home and very glad I wasn't on a trip somewhere. Recommending for now. Will wait and see how it turns out to update review.

PERFECT GENERATOR FOR STORM POWER BACKUP.

This generator fits our needs perfectly! Sips fuel, runs on propane which has a 30 year shelf life. Will power our Frig, TV, and 15000 BTU ac on wheels. If you are looking for a storm outage backup, that is stacked with features and doesn’t break the bank, THIS IS IT!!!!

East Setup

Opened the box, read the manual, connected the battery and propane and it started with a simple push of the button. Still waiting for the 'break in' period to end, before I see what it can do. Very impressed how quiet it is. The built in handle is a joy. Looking forward to using it camping.
