Amazing Generator!

Review* I purchased this generator right before hurricane Helene came through NC and I am so glad I did. Ran flawlessly everyday for almost 3 weeks before the power was restored and gave me some normalcy in a terrible situation. The ability to run off regular gas and propane was a huge plus when gas was hard to get because of the power outages and floods. Great product!

Great little workhouse

I got this product right after Hurricane Helene swept through. Like many in our area of western North Carolina we had no power or phones for over 2 weeks. This is a real workhorse, and the dual fuel feature is especially appreciated. Good job Westinghouse!

iGen5000DFc

Hello Westinghouse; We purchased this inverter-generator Jan.,7th 2025 and just removed it from the box. We purchased it for an ice storm that was supposed to hit on the 10th but missed us. The instructions were spot on and it started right up. It's very quiet compared to the one that we rented after Helene hit and we hope that when it's needed it will be just what we need.THANKS

Easy to assemble, easy to use, and runs quiet

Bought this after the last snowstorm knocked out our power for a week. The generator was easy to assemble and get running. Needed to pull the manual recoil start a few times to prime the system on first run, the electronic starter works great after that. It runs very quietly and could not even hear it running on the other side of the house. It is easy to move around with the handle and wheels. Filling the oil could be a little easier, the fill plug sits way back in the compartment and by the time you put the funnel in, there is no way to tell when it is full except to pour in a little oil at a time, remove the funnel, and shine a flashlight to see the oil level.

Nice portable generator

Runs well, pretty quiet, and I like that I can run from propane tanks and not have to worry about leaving gas in the tank. It was a little hard starting in the beginning, I assume from purging air in the propane lines, but once that was done, rans very well.

nice machine

I got this a few weeks ago. it was a little damaged from shipping scuff marks. not Westinghouse's fault. runs great only going to use propane . it idles pretty rough assume its the propane. make sure and break in properly the directions on break in aren't real good.. I ran it an hour and changed the oil.. lots of glittery metal in oil . changed the oil two more times after that every hour. going to run for twenty hours and change again. I ran two fridges and a freezer plus two heaters and some lights and it didn't miss a beat. Really like the Gen

Tons of features, easy and light.

After the last power outage, I was looking for a good, lightweight, and quiet inverter generator. I had some experience with the single-fuel Yamaha SC2300i, but I wanted something similar that was dual-fuel. Additionally, the 2kW capacity of the Yamaha was a bit too low for my house, so I decided that 3.5kW would be a better fit. Unfortunately, most generators on the market seem to force you to choose only two out of three features: lightweight, quiet, or dual-fuel. Just as I was about to give up on my search, I came across the iGen4000DFcv on a website and decided to give it a try. The generator arrived within a week, and I had a chance to test it on both fuels shortly after. It starts easily, operates quietly, and is simple to move around thanks to its pull handle and two wheels. The iGen4000DFcv has almost everything I missed with the Yamaha: convenient LED lights, protected buttons, and socket covers. When a new load is added, the generator adjusts smoothly without any noticeable light flickering, maintaining a stable power supply. For its price, I'd say this is probably one of the best inverter generators available. Pros: - Dual-fuel inverter - Adequate number of sockets - Lightweight, quiet, and easy to move Cons: - The propane hose doesn't seem very durable, though the generator supports gas, which could help in case the hose breaks. - The oil funnel has an awkward pop design, which can lead to leftover oil dripping out.

The best all around Inverter

I was looking for a generator or inverter to have around my house and use with my camper. In case of no power camping or if we have a power loss. This thing works great for all of it. It is pretty heavy to pick up to put in my truck but has wheels to roll around anywhere else. Great all around inverter to have for anything.

Great features and overall structure

I bought this unit a few weeks ago for my travel trailer. It started up on the second try once gas cycled through. Everything on it looks to be made very well. I love the dual fuel set up in case I run out of gas I can always hook up to propane! The remote start is gonna come in handy so we don't have to worry about going in and out of the trailer to start it!

None like it on the market

A dual fuel inverter generator with a remote! This is the ONLY unit I have found that delivers all of those features in one generator. I am THRILLED this finally came into the market. I preordered it in October and waited almost 3 months for its official debut. Worth the wait. I am a mobile groomer who uses a generator every day and NEED all of these features. Its quiet, convenient and reliable.
