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.

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.

Great generator. Quieter and more powerful.

Exactly what I wanted. Quieter and more powerful than my previous generator. Love the the fact that it works on propane or gas right out of the box. Speaking of the box, it was a little beat up during the shipping but proved to protect everything inside the box.

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.

Quiet 5000 W

Pro: Easy to set up. Started right up on propane. Very quiet in normal mode and even quieter in eco mode. Con: Owner's manual needs significant updates, including very basic info for initial setup. Though easy, as stated as a positive, the manual is actually misleading for the setup. It's as if Westinghouse didn't even proof the manual. The battery was loose and had bounced around in the compartment; fortunately it did not break anything.

WOW.

Very impressive. They thought of everything. From the oil, tools, propane attachment and parallel cables. Easy instructions from setup and starting. Love the compartment to store the on/off fob. Nice that you can change usb devices and is rv ready. Love the telescopic handle. Easy start manually and electric. This is a great unit all the way around.

Quiet, started first try right out of the box

Purchased this generator online based entire on the reviews. This unit replaces a 4500 watt Champion. The Champion would fit in the back of my GMC Serria when the wheel kit was not present. The iGen5000df fits WITH the wheels, which is a big plus for loading and unloading. The iGen5000df will be used for RVing boondocking. Being quieter than the Champion, the wife is happy. Being lighter (approx 15 lbs), having built in wheels and quieter, I'm happy.

Easy to set up and works great

I only have about one hour on it. Set up was relatively easy. Even though they provide an excellent screw in funnel, adding oil was a little messy. (definitely stuff a rag under while adding oil.) My only minor complaint is that it seems a bit louder than other "quiet" inverter type generators that my friends have. Other than that, I am very happy so far.

Easy to set up and start

It's the Westinghouse oven 5000DF. Easy set up , book repeated a lot but had a quick set up list for set up after reading the manual.Only used once but ran my 30amp camper , using the furnace, microwave, tv, lights and dehumidifier. Ran strong, durable. So far a good value for the money. The oil access is hard to see when trying to fill it because it's so low to the ground, took a while. Strong generator. Very easy to move with the telescoping handle and wheels. Easy to use with propane.

So Far so good

I bought this a little while back but am just now getting to unboxing and throwing some fuel in it. I really like that it is duel fuel. I haven't tested the propane yet on it. But it started up very early and seems quiet and reliable. I need to put it through more real world scenarios and connect it to various household appliances. I really appreciated the various tools it came with, including the oil.
