Perfect for RV living

Every feature that you will need. Electric remote start is great! No need to go out in the dew before you have your coffee! Dual fuel keeps you in camp when you are miles from the filling station. All running status is available at a glance with easy front panel display and controls.

Great Features for the Price

Purchased this for our travel trailer when boondocking, and as a home backup inverter generator. It is quite for its size, it's RV ready with a 30-amp TT-30R outlet, gives me the option to run on gas or propane, and the remote start function is great. I really like that it comes prewired with a trickle charger to keep the battery topped off during off usage periods. The included tool set is enough for minor maintenance such as oil and spark plug changes. The three features that sold me most was one, it will run on propane so that I don’t have to hauling around gas cans while boondocking. Two, the rated watts on propane are, 3,330 Running and 4,050 Peak, which is more than plenty to run our Coleman Mach 3 13,500 btu AC (3,500 startup watts, 1,075 running watts), with plenty of power left over for other electrical needs. Third, the remote start feature. Let’s face it, the older you get, the less you want to head out into the cold or rain to start a generator. Others have complained about the 30 amp outlet being installed upside down, and the electric choke control wire not being connected, but I had neither of these issues. Hopefully Westinghouse has listened to their customers and fixed both assembly issues. The only thing I might change is that it ships with a 33-inch propane hose and I feel that a 48-64 inch hose would have been better, as it would provide more options for propane tank placement. All in all, I would recommend this unit

Have only used it a few hours, but happy with it!

I just unpacked it today and set it up. Ran it on propane first and then tried it on gas. The battery wouldn't start it, it was weak and so I gave a couple of pulls on the rope and it started right up. Everything seems to work, plugged into the RV, ran the microwave, tried a power saw, heater. Seemed to respond as expected. It was only missing the bolt to connect the battery, so that slowed things down a bit until I was able locate one that would work. Seems to be well made.

Surprisingly Quiet

Much quieter than our neighbor's generator. Note that there is some oil already in the engine. So even though the included oil container is 0.6 liter and the oil capacity is called out as 0.6 liter, you risk overfilling if you try to empty the entire container in.

Quiet and easy to start

I bought my generator a little over a year ago and I was able to pull it out of storage and hook up propane to it and it fired right up. I really like the dual fuel option so that you don’t have to worry about gasoline going bad if you’re not using it regularly. It’s really quiet and easy to use.

Good features

I wanted a dual fuel generator with electric/remote start and this generator had the features that I was looking for. I have not had a chance to really put it to work but so far it is performing very well. The only possible negative comment I have so far would be the ease of accessibility of changing oil. This is yet to be determined since I have not changed the oil yet.

Nice inverter

Bought for power outage and travel trailer usage. Somewhat rough idle initially, hopefully will settle after break in. No issues with start up and automatic choke though and consistent voltage so far. Excited to use with travel trailer this spring summer

Wonderful Generator

Just purchased this generator and very impressed with its setup. Love all the features and the designs. Connected the battery, put oil and gas in it, it fired right up using/testing all 3 start methods (push button, remote and pull cord). Tested the output and all voltages look good. Will update if needed after we go camping.

iGen5000DF

I bought this generator for its duel fuel capabilities. It came with all you new to run off propane except the propane it’s self. I would not expecting a propane to come with it. So far I have only ran it off propane and I might never run it off gas. With that said it is nice to have another fuel option in an emergency. This product has performed up to my expectations so far. It is new and I can not speak for the reliability of this product yet, maybe I will update this review in a couple of months.

Super Quiet and Powerful

This generator is really quiet and very easy to operate. I ordered the dual fuel model so that I can either run it on regular unleaded gas or propane. I will run our microwave and A/C in our trailer at the same time. It is fairly light at around 100 lbs which makes it easy to load and unload out of the back of the truck. Looking forward to many years of use.
