Just added the oil, connected the battery, installed the hose and regulator, turned the switch on and pressed the on button on the remote. It started immediately and I could not believe how quiet it runs. I'll test it out in the next 2 weeks on our first camping trip of the season but it made a 5 Star first impression.

I ordered this generator last week. It was delivered upside down. I immediately unboxed and went through the start up process and it started on first try. I have not had an opportunity to run with anything connected but it was quieter than expected and I am Satisfied with my purchase.

I bought this generator for emergency back-up & to power my Makita electric chainsaw when removing dead & unwanted trees. I used it for a week to cut down dead & unwanted trees from 6-20" in diameter with a corded Makita 16" chainsaw. The generator functioned flawlessly, is very quiet, starts easily, & the remote eliminates a lot of walking back & forth to turn it on/off. The extendable handle is a nice feature but feels flimsy when pulling the generator to different sites in a bumpy acre lot for tree cutting.

This is my first time buying an inverter generator dual fuel generator and I’m impressed with how easy it is to operate. This is our first time owning a travel trailer also and I was nervous about having a generator and the difficulty in it but it is a super easy set up. All you do is plug in the battery, pour the oil and gas it up and it works perfectly. Powered my AC in the trailer no problem. And also the remote start is so nice to have.

It runs quiet and powered my camper quite well during the break-in period. I like the fact that it has the propane regulator, hose, oil and a tool kit with it, along with a very complete owners manual. The extendable pull handle works well. I wonder why they have a remote start feature with a fob when you have to disconnect all cords from the inverter before starting it. My biggest concern is the digital display is not functioning - at all. I have been in contact with the service number and the gentleman told me to remove the front cover and see if there are any loose wires on the panel. Since I am comfortable working on these types of things, I did. I found no loose wires or connections and the panel still does not work. I have sent a copy of my receipt and am waiting to find out how far I have to drive to get it to authorized shop. I hope it goes well. I detest buying a new product and having it fail right out of the starting gate, or having to investigate the problem myself. It should be sound when it leaves the factory.

Only dual-fuel generator with remote start. Feature rich; (electric start, included battery charger, allows switching between propane and gasoline while running, has load indicator, hour log, etc. Tested running 2.5HP 10in wet saw, angle grinder, shop vac, and various other appliances at same time. No problems.

This unit ( iGen5000DFc ) is a sweet little powerhouse for pretty much any 120 volt application. We live in a rural setting with frequent, but usually limited duration power outages, and can't justify the cost of a permanently installed backup generator, so having temporary power just by running a few cords is real peace of mind. Our typical setup includes 2 refrigerators, 1 freezer, coffee maker, furnace, sump pump, a couple of floor fans, WiFi and a/v equipment. Plus a few lamps and power strips. So far it works great. Easy set up, and quiet operation. No regrets.

This is a great generator. Runs my 24 foot bumper pull trailer 30 amp 120 volt just fine. Love the digital readout for load conditions. Also love the load indicator to tell you the how hard the generator is working. Ran my generator on propane right out of the box. Added the correct amount of oil using the supplied screw in funnel and used the key fob to start. Started right up. The extendable handle for moving the generator around is a great bonus. The generator also has two very sturdy handles for easy lifting. I highly recommend this generator for anyone who needs 120 volt power.

The generator seems like a fine product. The main issues I have had have been out-of-date (apparently) documentation. The user manual, in the section about transporting the unit, refers to controls which are not on the console. The user manual also states the wrong part numbers for the gas and propane high-altitude kits. We're at 5500 feet, so the high altitude jets are required to be installed for the warranty. I found the correct ones (I assume) on the Westinghouse parts website. (I sent some questions to Westinghouse trying to confirm this but never received a reply to this day, even after pinging them again.) The only documentation for installing a propane high-altitude kit that I could find was for an open-frame generator, but it was fairly straightforward to adapt for this one. The blog (and pdf) that documents how to do install the high-altitude kit for gas is unclear from the photos on how to disconnect the wiring for the carburetor in order to remove it - there is one wire that goes from a box on top of the carburetor, over the top of things and through a metal twist that holds some wiring together, and down the right side into the bottom, with no connection plug in sight or that can be felt, but it is too taut to remove the carburetor as-is. I finally was able to remove the carburetor without disconnecting this wire, by releasing the twist, which gave me some slack to slide the carburetor off the posts and feed it through to the front of the unit to continue the jet replacement process. (I took copious, high-res photos throughout this process to use as my own reference, so Westinghouse, if you want them to update your documentation, contact me.) I'm not a mechanic but I was able to do this in about 6 hours. After completing the jets replacements, I filled it with oil and put in some gas. It is very difficult to see whether the oil is full or not - it has a completely horizontal opening, which drips oil if you get too much in, but is pretty hard (impossible, actually) to tell that it is getting to that point. The supplied funnel actually screws into this horizontal hole for filling. The instructions say to pour the entire provided bottle of oil into the generator, but also says not to overfill. Well, it was overfull, and I went through several paper towels trying to catch all the runoff. It would be better if the opening for adding/checking oil was at a bit of an upward angle, and straight towards the outside, so you could look in (say, down through the funnel?) I then tested it in eco-mode with a hair dryer on two settings, with gas and propane, using the remote control and then the push button, and that worked correctly. Finally I tried to use the pull-cord. It backfired on my first attempt and then I was unable to get it to start. This may be because the engine is too big for me to get it to turn over (I am a 59-year old female, fairly fit but maybe not strong enough.) It still started ok afterwards with the remote. As far as loudness goes, some say it is very quiet. I do not have other generators to compare this to. I walked around to the front of my house while it was running and I definitely could still hear it - it sounded like a distant lawnmower running. I'll have to say, this generator may come in handy some day, but I hope it doesn't!

Purchased this to power a small off grid cabin. Just the right size to be portable and yet have enough power for some niceties. Also allows me to run some power tools and makes my little 110 welder truly portable. I love the propane option and the electric start means my wife can use it if I'm not around. The remote is handy for shutting it off at night without having to go outside. So far I'm very happy.
