So easy a cave man could run it!

This is my first inverter/generator. It powers everything in my travel trailer. It is quieter than my small champion generator which should allow us to use when it’s quiet time in parks. The remote works like a charm. We just absolutely love the power and reliability, not to mention duel fuel. I would definitely recommend it!

Very Quiet

Came quicker than expected. Instructions could have been a little more clear about connecting the battery. the oil that came with it over filled the unit... but other than that simple to get going. so far it works grate and starts on the first try every time. I plugged in a grinder and it doesn't even bump up the idle when running, I'm pleased. I had a Champion 3100 before .. This is much quieter, I'm very pleased with my purchase.. my only complaint is there is no 12 volt plug or way to direct charge a battery. If it had it I would give it 5 Stars

Great remote start and get for a camper

We bought this generator because our camper didn't have an on board generator. It was a hassle having to wake up at hunting camp, go outside when its 20 degrees and start the old generator. Now we can remote start it from inside the comforter to keep the heater going. The fact that it has dual fuel is amazing. We go on 10+ camping trips a year. We sometimes forget to fuel up the generator, fill up a gas tank, or sometimes forget to fill up the propane tanks. Having the option to use either fuel in a huge bonus for us.

What buy another

Sweewt, all around start up and operation. No issues moving around and enough watts to support our camper. Only issue was the battery strap was off and I was unable to get the to hook and stay on on both sides. Did not apprear that that was any latch or hook there to connect.

As Expected

Researched dual fuel inverter generators and my choice of the Westinghouse did not disappoint. All items that were supposed to be in the box were there, and starting instructions were simple and explained. Did not expect the telescoping handle (as on luggage) but it was a great help in moving the generator into position. Cranked first time. We hope we will not need to use it this hurricane season but are confident it will do the job.

Super Quiet

Just unpacked my new inverter/generator. They advertise it as being quiet….all expectations have been met. Connected the battery, added oils and fired it up. The remote start feature is great. No more having to leave the camper to turn on or off…which I look forward to when it’s chilly, rainy or dark. Can’t wait to use it on my next trip!

Just purchased this generator/inverter today

Just picked up this unit. I was amazed on the packaging. Very well thought out. Very simple to install the necessary parts. I'm running propane primarily. Once I added the oil and turned the motor over several times, the motor started up and the quietness has shocked me. It being a large unit and all. My purchase of this unit is for my 40' 50 amp travel trailer when I'm off the grid.

Easy to use

Generator was super simple to set up and came well packaged. Starts up first try with no issues. Lots of great features making this very handy to have around the house along with small and simple to take on the go in the RV. No issues running the A/C unit in my RV as it has plenty of power.

Great generator for RVing!

I bought this generator in order to power up my camper on my remote land in Vermont. I wanted something that would be quiet and easy to use, since the main purpose is to enjoy the nature. This generator is great. It is very quiet, with just a little bit of a hum, especially since it will throttle the engine up or down depending on the amount of power being used. The best part about it is that it uses propane or gas. I can keep propane cylinders stored at my campsite and never have to worry about them going bad. I also love the remote control, as I can turn it on and off from within the camper without having to go outside at night and watch out for the bears! There is enough power for my camper even with the AC running. And, the digital display is great, and it shows multiple pieces of information, such as the amount of watts used, the total run time, and the estimated amount of time left if you're using the gas instead of propane. I would definitely recommend this generator!

Good product but needs some improvements

I bought an iGen5000DFc (why is it also referred to as iGen4500Dfc?) about two weeks ago and all I have done with it so far is ran the break-in period for about seven hours and changed the oil after the initial oil fill. The unit appeared to have had a hard drop during shipping. Both the upper and lower styrofoam packing was broken and both access panels were popped open. There was a hole in the shipping box and the battery strap is missing. The User Manual is vague and in some cases misleading regarding the operation of the unit. There is a great deal of warning information but operating and maintenance information took reading and rereading and visits to Youtube to figure out. There is very limited information regarding the Data Center but I eventually figured out most of it on my own. My biggest problem was with the small sizes of the two access panels. After skinning up my hands plugging in the battery and searching for the still missing battery strap I went to the oil access panel and used the screw in funnel that was provided for the initial oil fill which worked out good. After the five hour recommended break-in period I wanted to change the oil which I do on all my new engines. This was a problem. The block drain fitting does not line up with the access panel but after some finesse and more skinned knuckles I drained the oil. Putting the fitting back in was another problem but with a combination of wrenches, sockets and duct tape got the job done. I suggest having your engineering designers take a look at this issue as I expect it to be a problem for many unless they have access to some special wrenches and small dexterous hands. Please send out a battery strap! My contact information is with the Product Registration.
