Great features- duel fuel and remote start

Just got it. Prompt delivery. Everything included as advertised. Put in oil, hooked up battery, attached to propane tank and started right up with both the push button and electric start. I like the handle and wheels so I can move it more easily. I also like the duel fuel capability and hour meter.

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.

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.

Good so far

Bought this generator after reading many reviews. It has performed great so far but this is based on very limited use. It will be primarily used as emergency power back up for our home. It replaces a very noisy Coleman generator that gave us many years of dependable back up power.

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.

Excellent generator, great design EXCEPT oil drain

I unboxed this generator and got it up and running today. It started up easily on LP gas (I didn't put any gasoline in the tank). The noise is pretty low and the power seems to be clean enough for all of my electronics I the house. I ran it for several hours and went to drain the break-in oil. That was when the honeymoon ended. Everything else about this unit is nicely designed and easy to access but the oil drain is terrible. I swore and cursed as I tried to get my fingers on the rubber plug and a wrench on the nearly impossible to access drain plug. Couldn't you have made the oil access door a bit wider? I'm going to be looking for an oil extractor pump for the next time. Aside from this oil drain issue, it's a great little generator.

Very pleased

Just received this invertor. Easy to unpack. Already assembled. Just plugged in the battery and filled up the oil reservoir. Decided to try propane first as i am not expecting to use much in the short term. Was easy to attach the propane tank. Turned the power button on and hit the start button - turned over a couple times and fired right up. Seems to be exactly what I was looking for in an emergency backup generator to power essentials

It Works Like a Charm

This is my first experience using a generator. The instructions were clear and the appliances we need to run during a power outage all run just fine without straining this power output. Having this generator adds another layer of safety to our household. The only design flaw I found was that one has to unscrew the oil funnel, screw in and unscrew the cap to check the levels - kind of messy. I can't think of a better solution though, and it's a small inconvenience.

Easy-Peasy

I bought this generator/inverter for my rv when we go “no hookups” camping. The “quick start” guide was just a few simple steps that were super easy to follow. It started up immediately on first try. Runs smooth and very quiet. I couldn’t be happier.

Dual Fuel works after minor head scratching

At first I couldn't get it to start on gasoline. Apparently I didn't add enough. I put in a gallon and it fired right up. On propane, it started right away. Tested it so far with a coffee pot and a toaster - doing the 5 hour break in so not pushing it over 50% capacity. Working perfectly.
