Great emergency and camping generator

Purchased this last month and have tested it with our camp trailer and running a couple of appliances in our house incase of power outage. Works really well on gas as well as propane. The remote start and stop is really neat. No more getting out of a warm bed to start the generator while camping.

IGen 5000DFc

Bought this for a home back up power source. After unboxing it I added oil connected battery and propane. It fired up first try. Ran it for a couple hours testing at different loads. Ran furnace, fridge, fireplace, 2 tv’s and several lights. No issues.that was a little over 25% load capacity.

Arrived fast, in good condition and on time.

Just arrived today, added oil per instructions, connected battery and LP then started within seconds of pressing the start button. The remote worked flawlessly. Thank you Westinghouse. BTW I've ordered a 2nd one. I hope it arrives in the same condition.

Good size, good power

Great purchase and much quieter than an open generator. I’ve enjoyed it so far. It still makes decent noise but it’s an improvement from what I’m used to. I got the dual fuel and it started well. Had to work it a little bit but it was easy after the first operation. Would recommend to anyone looking for a nice backup or camping generator. I plan to use it for my fridge and other small items during power outages.

First Impressions

Quality item in most respects. Having to install a high altitude kit was a surprise and there was a yet to be located loose item rattling around in the bottom of the generator. Will find that hopefully when I change out the jets in the regulator and carburetor.

Lots of power in a small, quiet package!

I did a great deal of research before buying this particular generator. Great features, love the dual fuel capabilities and it runs very quiet. Filled the engine with oil provided, connected the battery, connected the propane, turned the power switch on and Boom, it started right up. Surprisingly quiet for a generator this size, can not hear it running inside the RV, great remote start feature. Turned on all power in the RV and this generator handled it with no issues. The panel is loaded with features as well an easy to understand, plenty of power outlets, RV plugged right in, outlets for USB charging and a supplied battery tender and tool pack. It's on wheels, has a handle that stores out of the way and very easy to move around. Cummins Onan makes a generator that looks identical except it is not dual fuel, this generator costs about the same as the gas only version of theirs, love the dual fuel capability of this Westinghouse iGen4500DF runs clean and quiet. Best generator on the market for the money hands down. And I forgot to mention the 10 hour run time on a tank of gas, I plan to use on propane so I don't have to mess with gasoline and the added danger it presents. You won't be disappointed!

wonderful

Purchase this inverter generator after researching several for our Airstream Classic. It arrived in excellent condition. After prepping as instructed, connected to propane and it started immediately. Very quiet. very well made. I am very happy with the generator and looking forward to many years of use on our camping trips.

A generator with outstanding features and support!

I've not had the opportunity to use this generator in the field, but really like the fact that it has a duel fuel system (propane and gasoline). In addition, it has a remote starter which is exactly what I want in a generator. I would also like to offer praise to Westinghouse for it's excellent customer service. Westinghouse went out of it's way to correct a problem and more than met my expectation for fantastic customer service. Thank you for providing a simple fix for me (the customer) and being so very positive.

DOA

Would not start or run properly out of the box. As others have mentioned, the choke was defective. The small connector controlling the stepper motor was disconnected from the circuit board inside the unit. Required removing front, rear, and left side plastic panels to access circuit board (bottom left front of case) and dislodged connector. 2 hours work. Apparently a common issue. Manufacturer should secure connectors better. Ran fine after the fix but louder than expected.

New today

Got the generator today and ran it for a few hours. There were no issues running but I wished they would have provided only enough oil to fill it. There was just a bit more than needed and it flowed out a bit. Not a big deal just actually the only thing I found. Otherwise it seems a very well made generator with well though out packaging. I used the propane setup and it was perfect.
