Quiet, convenient and powerful

I bought this a week ago and I am already impressed. This generator is very quiet and will very welcome by my fellow campers when using it. It works great on both gas and propane. Tested it on both fuels on my 24' camper trailer and it powered everything in it including the heater/air conditioner with no issues. It is light enough to pick up to load into truck but the retractable handle underneath makes it a breeze to roll/move around and pull it up a set of ramps. No regret at all on this purchase. I can already tell it will come in handy backing up my home generator.

Flexibility.

Delivery was quick. Concerns are minor. Battery knocked out of position, quick fix. Instruction booklet not completely accurate regarding the main access panel screws: 4 typical screws and #5 was a bolt head: 10mm socket required. The funnel that screws into the oil reservoir was very welcome. With limited access, this prevented taking the entire outer panel off. Security of the unit to another hardened fixed location could be helpful, consideration for a loop plate for a cable or chain would be nice. Yet to test under a variety of conditions.

SIMPLE AND VERSATIL

If you're looking for a powerful and versatile generator that can sustain mid-sized equipment in critical situations this generator could be a great choice. I live in an area that has energy issues, with the 5000W peak capacity, this generator has enough power to power essential equipment. From refrigerators to basic systems (air conditioners). Plus, it can run continuously for several hours with a moderate load, ideal for home or small office use. One of the notable aspects is its fuel efficiency because can operate for up to 20 hours on a full tank (depending on the load), which allows you to not have to constantly recharge. I did not run it with propane yet but I know I have the flexibility to use it. Is easy to be used and is portable as a big cooler because of the wheels and an ergonomic handle for easy transportation. Additionally, most feature an intuitive control panel, with indicators for fuel, and voltage levels, making monitoring simple.

Another great Westinghouse product!

After trying for months to find a retailer that had this unit available, we finally found it & I am glad we did! Extremely handy unit…. Easy to use and great features! I love the gas or propane options as well ( that was the major reason I wanted this specific unit!) it’s quiet and just gives me peace of mind knowing I have it to rely on! Westinghouse is a trusted name and the warranty is one of the best too!

Great Product

Love this product line. I bought an iGen2200 couple years ago for tent camping and portable power around my property. Bought a Travel Trailer last year so purchased the iGen5000 to power my 30amp camper and it does everything I need it to. One of the quieter units in the campground as well

Out of the box and fired up in a few minutes

Can not believe how quiet and how easy this inverter was to set up. It took me longer to triple check the directions to make sure I wasn’t missing anything. Added oil, checked level, paired the remote. Boom fired up. Can’t wait to use this with our travel trailer this year!

Nice quiet generator for the price.

I bought this to replace a Honda EU3000is generator that I loved. Sadly, the Honda would never run our trailer air conditioner. Since everything is included, even a funnel to fill the oil, I took the box with us and I set this generator up over July 4th weekend. I did all the initial prep, it fired right up and after letting it run for a little while to break it in so to speak, I turned it off and connected the trailer to the RV plug. I restarted the generator and fired up the air conditioner and the power meter never went above 50%. It has a little bigger engine that the Honda, but I think it is easily as quiet as the Honda EU3000is generator was. The remote is a nice touch if you don’t want to go outside on a cold morning to start it.

Love the emote starting capability

Just recently bought this generator, but so far am impressed with the operation. Started right up after putting in the supplied oil. remote starting using the Fob is flawless. Recoil starter is also pretty easy to use as well. Once I have used this for a few camping trips my raating could change, but Westinghouse make pretty good products..

Very nice genset. A little noisier than expected.

Very nice genset. A little noisier than expected. The oil shipped w/genset will overflow if you pour it all into the motor. Leave about an inch in the bottle. For the breakin I used a couple of electric heaters (ouside) that have thermostats to vary the load.
