Great options and power for price, recommend

All systems working as normal, shocked that this brand does not get more attention. This is running Refrigerator and freezer, also have full Wi-Fi covered to office space, microwave and one furnace. Cannot ask for more at this price, power and low decibel rating.

Perfect for remote cabin

I received the generator as an early Christmas present from my husband. It was bought to replace a noisy gas powered generator for our remote cabin. The dual fuel capabilities as well as the quietness were my requirements. On another note, the generator itself is heavy, but the telescoping handle makes it easy to roll around. AS I have just received the generator, I have not put it through any rigorous use.

OK Generator, but lacking

Generator works well, but is heavier and louder than other manufactures. Significantly louder than than comparable models sold at a lower price. Remote start would work nice, but they state not to start the generator in ECO mode. This means you have to walk over to the generator to switch off eco mode to start. Defeats the purpose of having remote start. Probably would have rated 5 star if not for the gimmick remote start. Huge disappointment. Changing oil is messy due to poor drain design. Having a handle is nice, but the pull out design is not very ergonomic. Another manufacture has a fold out handle near the top of the unit. A much better and more useful design.

Meets my travel trailer needs

Had the generator for a week and it works great. Remote start/stop is wonderful for morning coffee making without going outside. Fits under the tonneau cover on my F150. Max height really is 20.5 inches....perfect. Only minor negative is strapping down the unit so it doesn't slide around. Manual says to only use the handles on the top and NOT wrap a strap (or anything) around the body of the unit.

Lots of research lead me to this model

So far so good. Lots of bang for the buck. Westinghouse igen4500df inverter generator. Dual fuel, remote start, 4500 Watts. A little heavier than what I was anticipating, however not too heavy. Looking forward to using this generator as we take our RV cross country.

No notable issues - careful with initial oil fill.

Followed instructions and fired up just fine with electric start on propane fuel - ran for an hour to break in. Only issue was entire container of oil ended up exceeding capacity. Did seem to be a small amount of oil in there from factory so may need just less than the 0.6L capacity when initially filling.

Easy setup.

I bought this for boondocking with my travel trailer. It was a good value, and exceeds my power requirements. Very easy and intuitive setup. I had it running in about an hour on propane. I've only run it on propane so far, and plan to use propane the majority of the time.

Generator

We bought this for our first RV trip and it came just in time. Set up was easy other than filling the oil which was a bit of a pain but not unlike other small engine products that I have. I filled it with gas and connected the propane and it started immediately and switched fuels without skipping a beat. Amazing! it was also as quiet as I had hoped. I plugged the RV in and started turning things on being mindful to not exceed 50% and next thing I knew I had everything on and it never went past 25%. This is a great unit.

iGen5000DFc Inverter Generator

We purchased this unit to replace our older Non-Inverter Generator. Our new central heating unit has a brain (computer) control board and requires clean power whereas the old unit did not. We will also be capable of keeping our refrigeration units, computer, digital telephones, and a home oxygen unit powered as needed. The dual fuel option is a great backup as well. With power outages becoming more often and longer durations this unit is what we need when we need it to support todays technology in power outages and nothing can replace peace of mind.

Our latest addition

This is our second Westinghouse dual fuel generator and, just like the first one, this new one was up and running in no time. Started and ran perfectly for its break-in period and it's now off to the campsite to run the air conditioning and other items in our RV. Very happy.
