Good all around

Wireless starting range is not very good. Will not work from in the RV. You must leave the run switch on which has a light that will drain the battery. Not to sure how long this can be left on before the unit will not start. Good for running the A/C unit and charging batteries while dry camping.

Exactly what I needed for my home backup power.

Love the duel fuel so I can run on propane and not have to deal with the mess and care of gas. There was some corrosion on the rim where the gas goes, which ideally I wish wasn’t there. It also smelled like gas so I am assuming that was from testing? Super easy to set up and set started. Fired right up and is ready to go when I need it.

Just what I needed.

This was exactly what I was looking for to have to power our travel trailer while boondocking. Was very easy to set up and started on the first push of the start button. No problems with the automatic choke. We don’t use our generators extensively so anticipate this unit lasting us a long time. Also forgot to mention, pretty quiet even when not on eco mode. Very pleased so far.

Has a remote!! And is very quiet

Looks great, has this awesome little remote, which is it necessary? No, but it makes operating it just a little bit nicer:) Lightweight and easy to maneuver with the wheels & handle. Very quiet, which was the key feature I was looking for besides dual fuel because nobody wants to have the loud generator in camp. Will wait and see how it runs long-term before providing feedback on that.

3rd Westinghouse Generator!!

I have had 2 Westinghouse inverter generator for a couple years. They were iGEN2200 that I bought for my travel trailer. I had issues finding a parallel cable for them and decided I wanted a single unit instead. No doubt I wanted anther Westinghouse. These generators are quieter and higher output than Champion and much cheaper than Honda or Yamaha. Love, love, love these generators. I'm even keeping one of my smaller units for kids sporting events and things like that. I just can't imagine giving it up.

Does what it says

Ran for a few hours so far. Was able to maintain the temperature in smaller deep freezer, a 20cu ft fridge/freezer, and a dehumidifier (This was running on natural gas, did even better on propane, haven't used with gasoline). Was bought to keep our vaccines viable in an emergency. Haven't had to use it in that capacity.

No mess, love that it runs on propane !

It took a long time to get the generator because it was on back order. It was worth the wait ! I installed the oil and connected it to a 20# propane cylinder and it started right up. Ran a few different items on it for about an hour, seems to work great

GREAT Inverter and does ity all

VERY pleased with this unit. It is powerful, set up very well with the battery, fuel and oil access. The remote start feature will be great when using the unit with the travel trailer and not having to go outside to start. Seems to be high quality, provides a lot of information on the control panel and being dual fuel makes it even more valuable when gas isn't as readily available, but propane is.

Compact, powerful, quiet, and good-looking

I did my research and am very happy with my new iGen5000DFc. Started up swiftly and efficiently powered my fridge and portable a/c. Could power many other appliances at the same time, but the fridge and a/c are the most important. I recently moved to a hurricane state and feel VERY secure now that I have this particular power generator.

Lots of feature in a small quiet package

I like the generator well enough to order this one being the second one I own. The features are there, thesound level is good, the ease of use and portability. I do have a compaint, my first one won,t start, I have read all the reviews and tried all the quick fixes. I would have to say coustomer sevice, is almost nonexistant. The phone calls get cut off after being on hold for ever, when you finally get someone it is a operator, telling you to get on line, to submit you questions or orders. At this time my online contact has not been addressed. It is too bad that a good product has such bad followup. I hope to get some responce soon, living in a rual area is a problem, being you have to find and take it to one of there approved, repair shops, in order for it to have warranty parts replaced with no labor paid for, for my situation that requires 200 miles of travel to get it back home and lots of down time.
