Out of the box brand new, the user manual says to empty the entire bottle of oil (provided) into the engine (pg 15, 3). Given the location of the oil spout, it is impossible to monitor the fill level. About 3/4 cup oil over-filled and spilled into the floor of the casing, and subsequently onto the garage floor. There is no easy way to clean up inside the casing. Twelve hours later, and lots of paper towels, oil is still dripping into the garage floor.

So far so good.... we've only had it for 1 day... it's not really easy to change the oil unless you have small hands. But it runs good. We were hoping that we could turn the generator on in the middle of the night with the remote but that is not the case. We still have to plug the trailer cord in to start it up. We will see how it goes. And update will come if things change.

Bought this about two weeks ago. Just got it. Took it out the box today and running it through the break in procedure with the break oil provided. It started right away. Ran it a little while on gas and decided to finish the break in on propane. Easy to hook up and switch fuel supply. Runs smoother on propane than gas. But that makes sense, I expected that. I am an old propane guy. Engines always run better on propane.

I purchased this last month for the summer. Thought I would get it ready and running although I don't need it until April for my trailer. Followed the simple instructions, added oil and connected the battery and the propane hose and regulator. I took three try's to start as the propane needed to make its way to the unit, started and ran just fine. Off to a great start. If you are not mechanically inclined you still would have no problems unboxing and starting the unit. Beautiful, quiet and so easy to use. The remote start is key! Love it!

Liked what I read about this before buying. Even more impressed when I received it. Attractive. Quality construction. Well thought out. Included accessories and documentation is top notch. Pleasantly surprised to discover the sturdy extension handle which was not described n the sales write-up. Thanks Westinghouse!

I was alittle concerned with how noisy this may be as a 5000w generator, but it is quieter than my 2200 Honda quiet!. Easy to move with the wheels and super easy and convenient to start. I bought it for the duel fuel capability and it doesn't disappoint! I dry camp 99.9 percent of the time and this will allow for a great many years of fun

We purchased this generator after much research into brands, etc. The Westinghouse received consistently high reviews. I will echo those. The unit delivers the power it is rated for and is extremely quiet. I recommend the IGEN4500DF to anyone looking for a power source within its range of output.

I purchased this inverter/generator to primarily power the AC on my trailer while dry camping however the inverter allows me to power my other electronics. I've only had it a few days, but I have been running it to get through the break in period as I will be leaving on a trip shortly. I have been through the instruction manual and found it easy to understand. It has remote start and the pairing instructions were simple. It also came with a trickle charger, for the starting battery, while in storage. I wasn't expecting it with the purchase, I called to confirm it's function as I didn't find an explanation in the manual or missed it. Very pleased with the product and service thus far.

The ease and features that this generator has is awesome! I like the multitude of different ways to start it. The display readout is extremely nice so you know how much fuel you have left, the hours on the engine, how much time is left for runtime, and I especially like the load output indication. It runs extremely quiet and the wheel around handle is also nice. You do not need to buy any addons as this generator comes with everything including the hose for the propane, wrenches to connect, and even a funnel to add the oil that is included. Great generator!

Bought as a stand by generator for my house. I especially love the DF option as I will be using it in case of emergency, so I won't have to worry about leaving gas in the tank. Extremely quiet! Started with ease on the first try. Only negative comment I would have is the oil provided is to much. Instructions say to add the whole bottle.. I made the mistake of not checking as I was putting it in and it overflowed.
