Excellent Generator!

Recently bought this generator after weeks of research. Very pleased with purchase and would definitely recommend it to others. Lightweight compared to other generators with low noise level. Easy to start and provides plenty of power to run most of our household lighting, appliances,..etc.

Great Features (Dual Fuel, Remote Start, 30 AMP)

I bought this generator for 2 reasons, the 1st was to provide power to my camping trailer while not at a campsite. The 2nd reason was to provide power in the event of a storm / loss of power. I really enjoy the remote start capability, especially when it's cold outside. It runs surprisingly quiet (for a generator) and it provides all the power we need in a pinch. Having the ability to use both fuel and propane pretty much guarantees that I have one or the other laying around the garage when I need it.

OK Generator, but lacking

Generator works well, but is heavier and louder than other manufactures. Significantly louder than than comparable models sold at a lower price. Remote start would work nice, but they state not to start the generator in ECO mode. This means you have to walk over to the generator to switch off eco mode to start. Defeats the purpose of having remote start. Probably would have rated 5 star if not for the gimmick remote start. Huge disappointment. Changing oil is messy due to poor drain design. Having a handle is nice, but the pull out design is not very ergonomic. Another manufacture has a fold out handle near the top of the unit. A much better and more useful design.

Perfect!

Wow! I love this generator. It is dependable, quiet and powerful; far & above anything I've owned in a smaller generator prior. The remote start, sound level, system monitoring and portability is exactly what I was hoping for in a generator we could use both at home for back-up power as well as away with our camper. I am a long-time motor head from Detroit in my 60's and really scrutinized this thing upon arrival to see how they approached it and was thoroughly impressed with the build and finish. The dual-fuel capability was important and this unit does not disappoint with change-over from (gas) to (propane) and back again seamlessly. You hit it out of the park Westinghouse!

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.

Great Features

Doing the review to get the cover. Only run the generator a short time. Started easy on gasoline and propane. If you put in the whole bottle of oil as instructed about 4 ounces will run out. The carburetor bowl drain screw is not as shown on the instructions. It is difficult to get to.

Great features

Very quiet! Love that it’s RV ready and comes with the tools needed for duel hook up and oil changes. The outlet covers, the display showing the amount of power being used, the gasoline drip channel, the remote start and the push button start are all a plus.

Little power house

I bought this to power my RV and I have berly seen it go above the 25 % . It run good and it's quiet I cant hear in side the RV its not to heavy I was abel to lift it waist high to service it at the 25 houre mark. Over all i am very happy with it. I gave it a 4 because the oil fill hole was very tight for my hand to do the oil drain,

Works as intended

We were tired of frequent power outages and bought this inverter. So far it has works as expected and kept us out of the dark, powered the refregerator and small AC unit. Dual fuel is an added bonus. 17 hours of runtime used aout 25 pounds of LP gas.

Great Features

I bought this in November. My daughter has one and loves it. I love that it's dual Fuel and you can charge various accessories. It's heavier than I anticipated but nothing I can't handle. I bought it for emergency outages. I've been researching generators for several years now and loved everything about this iGen.
