This is an excellent product. It was ordered online and delivered on time with no issues. Set up was quite easy thanks to good directions and inclusion of tools such as oil, wrenches, and connectors. The primary reason this generator was purchased was its dual fuel capability and both worked fine. This generator is portable however it would be better if total weight was less. Happy with this product and am confident it will be reliable in an emergency.

I just got this generator for camping where there is no power like a music festival. I had hoped this would be quiet enough that it would allow for minimal noise while trying to sleep with the pop out ends of of hybrid travel trailer out. I’m not sure that will be the case. Don’t get me wrong it’s quiet and when I’m in the camper with the ends folded in, the generator running about ten feet away and the ac blower running in the camper, you don’t really hear it running, however I think with the canvas ends out, we unfortunately, probably will hear it running plain as day. So it’s definitely not a quiet as I would like. Outside of that it is well built. Feels sturdy with not cheap plastic. The pull handle is nice but you can’t tilt the generator back at all without the risk of spilling gas/oil so it’s not meant for long distance moving. I’d have two people one on each handle for movement. The dimensions of the generator at 17” at the base (wheel to wheel), about 19” tall from the ground and about 26 long from the wheel to the front. Use this information when you are looking for something to store the generator in. So far I have put it through the break in period and changed the oil. I bought a two way siphon pump because the oil drain plug makes a mess (saw this in other reviews and videos online). This made getting the oil out very easy. I then found a .6L bottle that I refill from a larger bottle so I know I can just dump the bottle in. This makes each change a little quicker, less wasted oil and helps eliminate opportunities to spill from over fill. I love the digital read out area. No questions about how much fuel is left, how much run time left on the remaining fuel, how much power you are using, time run for maintenance purposes and voltage being produced to prevent damaging anything. I did plug my rv surge protector in which has a diagnostic light and indicating there is no ground?? Perhaps this generator is not bonded?? For now I have the camper plugged directly into the generator as I believe the generator is regulating the power coming out and there a surge protector is not needed. I’d like some further explanation about this from Westinghouse but it seems to maintain solid voltage around 124. Running the generator and my camper RV today in the 94* NC heat. Will monitor voltage during the course of operation. But the gauges and info the five are awesome! I see the failure point on this generator being the pull start so I would encourage anyone looking at them to pony up, don’t be cheap like I was and get the electric start! I think having that battery start option with the pull as an emergency back up will extend the life of your generator and prevent it from having to go to a service person to have the pull cord replaced (I’m not even sure where there are any Westinghouse service folks near me, yikes!). I would like to see a few things on future models. First, a better oil draining system. Second, an easier way to drain the fuel tank and easier access to the fuel shut off switches when you want to drain the fuel line and carburetor during long term storage. After this weekend I most likely won’t use this again until a power outage as we don’t do a ton of off the grid camping except for music festivals, which we are unfortunately reaching the end of that season. Third I would like to see some eye hooks permanently attached to the unit for locking purposes. You can lock through the handles but something on the sides would be nice. Fourth, improved insulation to further damper the sound of the engine. Fifth, I would like to see the exhaust heat redirected up, away from the grass. I have two dead spots in my yard from the the generator running and killing the grass with the exhaust. This is also problematic because I bought the Igen Generator umbrella which says it can be used during operations in the description but based on the heat coming from the exhaust, I’m not so sure I feel comfortable with that, I’ll have to read the directions from the umbrella and go from there…. I will probably be sending the umbrella back and purchasing a small easy up to put up over the generator if it needs to be used during any kind of in-climate weather. I feel very comfortable knowing I have this generator that can easily power my 19 foot hybrid travel trailer. I think there are definitely some improvements that can be made to produce a more superior product but overall I am VERY happy after two years or research and questioning myself about different brands that I finally purchased this Westinghouse dual fuel inverted generator. I hope to use it for years to come and that Westinghouse stands behind their product warranty without too much (or any) headache!

initial setup was a breeze, with all of the necessary parts supplied - even a funnel for the oil fill. Propane start was instantaneous, giving steady power right away. Gas power took about 10 seconds to stabilize and then steady power. Remote start, push button start, even the pull string start worked right away (well, after 4 pulls). Great product and super quiet.

I bought this a week ago to replace a large, non-functioning generator, as a back-up for home power during outages. It is compact and fits in the garage, it was easy to set up and started right away. The propane option was also a great idea for back up fuel.

Just received a couple days ago. Delivery via FedEx Ground was a bit clunky as it was four straight days that the FedEx website stated delivery was coming. Once I got the generator and set it up and put it through a trial run, I am glad to have made this purchase. Though slightly heavier the extra power and quieter operation is worth the upgrade from the Champion 3500w inverter we use to take on camping trips.

I was a little hesitant on buying this given some of the negative reviews about quality control and the choke issue. However I’m very glad I did purchase this. It arrived in perfect condition other than the battery harness was not properly holding the battery in place… battery likely came unstrapped during shipping. Battery was fine and just strapped it back into place. The set up is quick and easy. I upgraded to synthetic oil rather than using the oil it came with. It started up without issue and ran great. It is amazing how quiet this is compared to other generators I’ve used. And the power usage LED indicator and gas tank run time remaining feature is great to have. I particularly like how it has the future of been able to turn the gas off a.k.a. to propane to run the gas out of the carburetor. I did the break-in suggested for the first 5-hours to let the engine and more likely the generator coils get broken in… the manual says: “ For proper break-in, DO NOT exceed 50% of the rated running watts (2650 watts) during the first five hours of operation.” I didn’t think about it at the time, so varied the load up to 2650W… but then realized that it has a max of 3700W, so half of running watts would be 1850W, not 2650W… so the manual seems to have a typo one way or another, but too late now. Later ran it in a 20lb propane tank. Easy setup and runs great. Overall very happy with the generator, given I only have used it for about 6h so far.

Just bought a. Opulent of weeks ago. So far everything is as advertised. put the oil and gas in, hooked up the battery and it fired right up with the remote fob, the push button start and the recoil cable. A little louder than I anticipated (not as quiet as a conversation as claimed) but perfectly acceptable, especially considering it’s size. Looking forward to using it on a two week trip soon.

Bought this due to power outages after borrowing friends predator 3500 generator this generator is much quieter starts easier has battery charger remote start fuel gauge and dual fuel predator has none of this and much better wheels and telescoping handle very easy to move around VERY HAPPY

This igen5000dfcv generator is very quiet and fuel efficient. I opted for the recoil start for less maintenance of not worrying about a battery. It is very easy to pull start. The run time when loaded is about 14 hours on gasoline for me. With the small 3.4 gallon tank this makes it very fuel efficient. The ability to add a second igen5000 in the future for double the output makes this an attractive buy. It is not super light weight but it is still manageable for use on camping trips. I do look forward to purchasing another one in the future if I happen to need more power output.

My wife and I purchased this to power the A/C and everything else in our 30 amp travel trailers in the hot Texas sun. It started easily on the first start and runs super quiet with plenty of power to keep us cool. We cannot recommend this product enough.
