Best Generator Ever

I really like this iGen4500DFcv inverter dual fuel generator. Setup was very easy to follow. I used LPG instead of gasoline. Started after the 3rd pull. Ran the unit for 5 hours and changed the oil. The oil condition was as expected. Still somewhat clear but no huge amount of shavings or glitter. Ran for another 20 hours using it off and on keeping food safe. The oil change is messy just dumping the old oil inside the cover so it could go out a drain hole. Better design or drain hose would be nice. Unit was not very loud at 30 to 40 percent load. Liked the ECO mode as it saves fuel and is quieter. The face controls tell you everthing you need to know. Overall would recommend this generator to anybody.

iGen5000DF

I shopped around specifically for a Dual Fuel Inverter generator with a remote electric start to use at my primitive campsite with a 5th wheel trailer. After considering several brands, I chose the Westinghouse iGen5000DF. I received the product in under a week, which I felt was very good considering it was very close to Thanksgiving and the ensuing Christmas shipping time period. I added the enclosed oil and followed the directions to break it in at my house, then loaded it into the back of my SUV and took it to my land and camper for Thanksgiving weekend. The generator is very quiet and performed flawlessly for the 3 day weekend. We have used it for several weekends since and love the remote stop/start that we can use from inside the camper. I did the first oil change at camp per the owners manual and was very pleased with oil color and consistency coming out. Overall, very pleased with the generator and my decision to purchase.

Delivered on expectations

Took the generator to operate high current appliances in 4,000 feet and high external temperatures. Used propane only so far and the generator worked well despite the altitude and harsh conditions. Starting w the recoil was easy, although I found that after a few pulls it's better to close the choke to get it started. Reasonably quiet and the standard propane tank lasted a few hours of operation. This is the most powerful dual fuel generator I found in this weight class (next size up is about double at more than 100lbs) and it's a sweet spot tradeoff. Wish the high altitude kit was available. I'm unable to find it.

Fits in small space for storage

This was purchased for back up home power. It was relatively easy to set up once I got it unpacked. Fed Ex left it at the wrong gate and getting it onto the property was difficult because it is quite heavy, and awkward to move in such a large box, over gravel path instead of driveway. Nice that the unit came with the oil needed to fill the unit. Would have been helpful to know approximately how much oil to put in (almost the whole container) instead of just warning not to overfill and to stop frequently to check with dip stick. Started on first try with propane, so nice that it came with a charged battery. Battery installation was not easy; had to remove battery to do the quick release connection and the rubber strap would not connect to hold it back in place, I had to use wire to attach the strap to its hooks in the back.

Had to fix it.

Followed initial start up procedure and upon adding fuel, it started leaking everywhere. I found the main line from the fuel tank was completely disconnected. This could have been a major fire hazard and we feel this should be taken up with higher ups and we should be credited for us having to FIX something that should have been right from the factory. Westinghouse I expect you will contact me and or respond to my complaint.

Functional and Quiet

We bought this generator for an out of town RV trip that we were taking. We knew we would have no hookups and this helped to power the hotwater in the RV as well as lighting and fans. It was a wonderful addition to our trip. We also have lost power a few times since our trip that this generator has saved all of our food from our fridge and freezer. We used it to power the fridge and freezer and only went through 5 gallons of gas over 3 days.

Works Perfect!

I received this item yesterday. I bought it for my RV. After installing the provided oil and hooking up the battery I hooked up a propane tank and it started right up. I plugged it into my 5th Wheel and was able to run one of my AC units without issue. I really like the remote start option and the dual fuel.

Very powerful, very quiet

I have owned the igen 5000 DFC for about 2 weeks now. I have run it for about 3 to 4 hours under various light loads. It says to run for about 5 hours under 50% load so I do not know how much load it will handle but it seems to be doing well. I plan on only running this generator on propane. It started the very first time I hooked up the propane. I have started it with the remote start, the pool start, and the push button start. All worked flawlessly. This is the second Westinghouse generator that I have owned. Hopefully this one works as well as the last. It is a little large and a little heavy but it will power everything in my fifth wheel without a problem. Including the air conditioner. I would highly recommend this product.

iGen5000DFc

Hello Westinghouse; We purchased this inverter-generator Jan.,7th 2025 and just removed it from the box. We purchased it for an ice storm that was supposed to hit on the 10th but missed us. The instructions were spot on and it started right up. It's very quiet compared to the one that we rented after Helene hit and we hope that when it's needed it will be just what we need.THANKS
