Surprisingly Quiet

Well designed with many features that Honda has. Digital gas gauge, hrs electric load etc. is nice. I have a Honda 2000 watt peak generator and this Westinghouse 5000 is just as quiet as my Honda. It is heavy, but as expected. I love the dual fuel. Fired right up on propane!

Great so far

I bought this about a week ago, and set it up and started for the first time today. Great product, at an even better price.

Good generator

I have attached it to a propane tank. It started right up, ran good, and worked as it should. We will need to see how it holds up long-term. The first impression is that I'm pleased with it. This generator has wheels and a collapsible handle which makes it portable. It comes with the oil needed (0.6 liter) and a small tool kit and a battery charger. The power outlets are 120 volt 20 amp and a 120 volt 30 amp

Very quiet. Efficient dual fuel generator. Starts with ease. Handle and wheels make it easy to move around. Electric and USB outlets.

Rock‑Solid Performance on Propane — Reliable and P

I’ve been using my Westinghouse iGen5000DFc for a few weeks now, sometimes for short runs and other times for 1–2 hour sessions, and it has been rock‑solid every time. No overheating, no hiccups, no strange behavior — just smooth, consistent performance. I run it exclusively on propane, and at around 50% load it powers everything I need on my trailer without any trouble. I can run the A/C, the refrigerator, the battery charger, and even a small electric appliance like a toaster, all at once, with zero drop in power and no signs of strain. The generator runs cleanly and steadily on propane, and the remote start has worked every single time, even after sitting unused for several days. That convenience alone makes a big difference. Overall, the iGen5000DFc has been reliable, quiet, and surprisingly strong, and it’s been a great addition to my RV setup. For anyone looking for a dependable dual‑fuel inverter generator — especially for propane use — this one has been excellent so far.

Quality generator

Bought this generator in August of 2026 for boondock camping in my travel trailer and also as an emergency backup for my home in case of extended power outages if needed. So far so good. Quality generator that is comparable to Honda and Onan. Westinghouse's reputation speaks for itself. Curious to see how many years I'll get out of it with proper maintenance.

Repeat customers here!

This is our second Westinghouse Generator. We were so happy with our first one that we decided (when it was time for a second smaller one) to go right back to Westinghouse again. We have tested it but haven't had to use it as of yet. While testing everything went smoothly. My husband commented on the fact that it was very quiet for a generator of this size. And we had it on the rock encased front porch where normally everything echoes and resounds. Silent? By no means, but definitely quieter than we expected.

Runs awful out of the box

I bought this about a month ago and just began to use it. It’s suffers from the same problem most people have out of the box with the choke issue. I’m debating on whether or not to return it and start all over again but I fear that I will end up having this problem as most do. You would think that by now they would have solve this issue since it’s a clear manufacturing production defect. Still powers everything great. I don’t truly regret it I just wish this thing would run the way that it supposed to without having to need to return it orDo the work myself to correct the problem. I feel I should be giving some sort of discount for having to deal with this

Functional. Wish it were lighter.

Performs as needed, ie RV air conditioner, microwave, etc. Don't like that the toggle on/off switch is lighted when in the on position. Leaving the switch in the on position so remote start can be used from the RV drains the battery when generator is not in use. Having to set the toggle in the on position prior to each start negates the value of the remote start function.
