As Expected

Researched dual fuel inverter generators and my choice of the Westinghouse did not disappoint. All items that were supposed to be in the box were there, and starting instructions were simple and explained. Did not expect the telescoping handle (as on luggage) but it was a great help in moving the generator into position. Cranked first time. We hope we will not need to use it this hurricane season but are confident it will do the job.

Duel fuel i Gen

I bought this in September 2022. I open ended the box and was so surprised that the generator includes a connection for propane. I was so glad it does. Also the instructions are easy to follow. I’ve not started it yet but so far it seems like everything I need is here.

Very Quiet and Love the Remote

After a couple of months of research, we decided to go with this model to meet our camping needs. The generator is amazing on gas, and very quiet. We also love the remote feature. It was so nice to be able to turn it off when we went to bed without having to go outside. I am very happy with our decision to go with Westinghouse!

What a great generator!

It has not only met but truly exceeded my expectations. This unit has proven itself to be a remarkably reliable power solution during the hurricane season. When the Westinghouse iGen5000DF dual fuel inverter generator arrived, the box itself was a bit dinged up, which was a minor concern at first. However, once unpacked and set up, it was perfectly fine and has consistently performed as expected. I haven't noticed any power surges or irregularities. It just reliably puts out the power it's rated for. The dual-fuel capability is great because it’s hard to get gas when the hurricanes are heading our way. The controls are intuitive enough. I've also been impressed by its noise level; it runs noticeably quieter than some other units I've encountered in the past. All in all, the Westinghouse iGen5000DF has been a dependable piece of equipment. It simply works, providing consistent, relatively quiet power, and the dual-fuel feature is a real bonus for practical use. It ran our fridge, fans, some lights, air fryer and charged our phones at the same time.

Perfect Generator for 5th Wheel Service!

I bought two of these instead of paying for the ONAN 5500 option on my new Grand Designs 5th Wheel. About 1/3 the price, nearly twice the Wattage and double the amperage when joined together with the Westinghouse cord. They fit easily in the bay where the ONAN would have sat, with room to spare! Runs all three AC units, water heater, fridge, etc... without any issues. Dual Fuel a bonus as well! Definitely pay attention to the specs for jetting based on altitude. Comes from factory jetted for under 2000'. I live at 6000' so had to swap out jets in carbs and nozzles on regulartors for propane. Super quiet, ultra portable, such a great value!

Nice quiet little generator just purchased.

The generators is replacing my WIN 11000 in my 36’ Diesel pusher (motorhome). Storm blew through in Dallas. I had to use my wind generator higher my house while it was installed in the motorhome so I bought this Westinghouse and move the WIN for back up power for my home. Have not done the 25 run hour oil change. I hadn’t even installed har in the motorhome yet. We’re working on that now. 8/12/24

Amazing Genset, easy to use with great features

I have two other larger generators, but they are loud and have horrible harmonic distortion. That means the power being produced is "dirty." The Westinghouse iGen4500DF produces great clean power. I started the generator using propane, to start the genetator couldn't be easier. After adding the oil. I connected a propane tank with the included hose and regulator, turned the unit on and then pushed the start button. It was like pushing a push button the start your car! It started up and it was so QUIET. I added a couple of space heaters, it automatically increased RPMs to handle the load. It actually shows what percentage of available watts are be used. So many great features my other units don't have. Now I did read some reviews that talk about the auto choke not operating properly, not so with my unit. Bottom line: highly impressed with the unit and highly recommended.

Great features & runs quiet!

We just purchased this IGEN4500 DF and wanted something that would run our 15K BTU travel trailer AC unit when camping. IGEN4500 is portable, and light enough for my husband and I to unload it from our truck and for one person to roll it to where its needed. This IG has it all, remote start and stop, super quiet even under a power load, powerful and plenty of outlets, also has great fuel capacity. We have only used propane for fuel so I can't comment on gas efficiency at this time. Started on the first start with no issues. I love the electric start and remote! No more pulling a rope to start our old generator or refueling at 3AM. It feels like we hit the Lotto!

Great generator

I'm early into my ownership, but so far so good. As I am using this for a back-up power source, the dual fuel capability was important as I wanted a fuel source (propane) that could be stored for extended periods and remain stable. You lose a little output with propane, but it is worth it to me. Additionally, though more expensive, an inverter generator is a must for me to protect various hard-wired equipments with sensitive electronics. Based on my early experience, I'm considering a second inverter to run in parallel. If you want an economical back-up option, this is a good one.
