IGEN4500DFC

Update from 2 Feb 2022. I purchased this gen on 1 Feb 2023 and I am in the process of breaking in the first 5 hours of run time. I am now at 4 hours and have been varying the load as stated in manual. My first review said that the Digital Data Center was not working properly. It still doesn't have the daily run time but it does keep track of the overall runtime. I am very satisfied with this generator. Even with my a/c and fireplace/heater running the generator is at 50% power.

love the quick start

two of us bought this unit after seeing several of our neighbors using it. have had a couple issues getting propane started but gasoline works great.Love the quick start and am setting it up in a secure place. I needed 2200 watts and my little honda wasn't handling the load. now am feeling real good about the whole house using the power. wish it was a little quieter but can live with it.

good insurance

I have not used this yet under a big load but it seems like it will work, it appears to be well protected against the weather but in the manual it says to keep it out of the rain and snow. That's when I will need it most so maybe it was not a good choice, I'll find out.

Love the remote start!!!

Going out this week on our first boondocking and (use). Checked all out and it is purring like a cat. No effort to start and starts fast. Can't believe how quiet this is. Love the gauge that lets us know how much time we have left on fuel. Plug outlet for 30a and will furnish all our needs for power. I let my wife start it....she loves it!!! Great piece of equipment.

Great features although a little heavy

I have only used this generator for a few hours but I am very happy with the performance thus far. I am still breaking the unit in, but have tested it out on power tools, my refrigerator, and a microwave. I have not yet tried the unit with gas, but the engine started immediately with propane. Very happy thus far!

Works great.

We purchased this generator for our camping trips and for using around the house for projects or when the electricity goes out. I took it out of the box, filled it up with oil and ran it on propane and it started up the first time. I love the remote start. The weight of it isn't to bad for me loading it into the back of the pickup, but my wife said if she had to load it, she would need help. It runs quiet and is much quieter than other generators that were running in the campground. Great product and would recommend.

failed starter, never used gen

after 11 months of storage, sitting in the garage, on the charger, run once a month for 10 minutes since first fueling, the starter has failed. never actually used the unit to provide power, but kept in a ready state. very upset customer. also, in an attempt to upload a video per this Westinghouse review page, youtube automatically classified my 37 second video a "short" and this URL type is not valid for upload to this review section. only standard antiquated youtube URL's can be uploaded here. 1 star all around.

Great Duel Fuel Inverter Generator!

After extensive research, I purchased the iGen5000DFc. What a great decision it was! It has all the features I was looking for: sufficient starting watts to power up and run our travel trailer AC, duel fuel capability, 3 starting options, CO sensor, Low oil LED. Initial set up was easy. Motor oil and funnel, battery charger and a tool kit were included with the generator. The generator started up effortlessly the first time. I was surprised how quiet it runs. Looking forward to using this generator for camping and during power outages at home.

Great Generator

I've only run it on propane so far, but it starts right up, runs relatively quiet, and adapts to loads quickly with little hesitation. Very happy with it after having researched generators for many hours. Light enough to take camping with the RV trailer, and can be paralleled to run a 240volt 30amp transfer switch at home. Only feature I wish it had were adjustments for altitude. I don't have the high altitude kit yet, but I imagine putting it in every time we camp at elevation, then taking it out at home, will get old quickly.

Perfect portable generator

Just got this generator and had to put it to use immediately when we had some bad storms through Houston area. Ran for 48 hrs without a hiccup. I believe this is the best bang for the buck inverter generator. My only knock is I thought it would be super quiet. It's about half the noise of a regular generator.
