Nice unit for an RV but one Issue

I've been waiting for this generator to become available again and I grabbed it soon as I saw one in stock on line. It's a perfect unit for my RV needs with the 30a output plug, remote control, propane fuel option and the ability to power an AC. I've hooked it up to my fifth wheel and the generator works great but I do have to shut off my internal surge protection. The Progressive doesn't seem to like the output but with stable inverter power it should be fine. It's a very quiet unit to so it should be campground friendly. One minor issue my digital display isn't working so I'll have to get a warranty repair for that, not what you'd like from a new unit so I'll have to give it 4 stars.

Fantastic Dual Fuel Generator

I bought this generator a couple of weeks ago, right after Milton, and we could not be happier. The intial setup was easy, took less than 5 minutes. I started with propaine to see how it would go and it fired right up! No problems at all. Tested a load with an AC unit, fridge and fan, and it worked like a champion. Very happy!

Amazing Capabilities!

I purchased this after doing a lot of research and I’m sure I picked the right one. It has plenty of power for my needs, remote start, dual fuel capability and is easily moved with the handle and wheels. It’s also much quieter than I expected. I Highly Recommend!

Love this generator!

I wanted a dual fuel generator, and this one exceeded my expectations. I intend to run it primarily on propane, and after testing it for a few hours (on propane) I'm convinced it's up to the task for supplying the needed power for my travel trailer. It is also much quieter than I expected. 5 stars!

Exceeded my expectation!

When deciding which brand to purchase after comparing a comparable manufacture I decided to purchase the Westinghouse based on value, quality and reviews. I am so glad that I chose the iGen4500DF. It has exceeded my expectation for quality and performance. It came with everything I needed to start using right out of the box. That convenience can't be beat.

Great product

The generator worked very well for our 35-foot fifth wheel trailer. It was much quieter than our old one and very efficient. The only complaint is that the battery for the electric start is not sufficient to last through the night. After we hooked up a larger battery, the electric start/remote worked every morning, which was sure better than going outside in 25-degree weather. We did find it started better with gas than propane when it was cold. All in all, we are very happy with this purchase.

Very quiet and powerful

I did alot of research for a generator for the 5th wheel. I wanted inboard but for 1/4 the price you can't beat this thing. The remote start is amazing and works great for cold mornings. Haven't had to use the AC yet but I know if won't be a problem. The genset is amazingly quite which was a concern. I have a Honda EU2000i and this genset is quieter than the Honda. Perfect for camping!

Fully Loaded Generator

The igen5000fdc is a great product with all the features I wanted. I was shopping for a lower powered generator initially but when I found this quiet generator already set up for lp or gasoline with true inverter power that would be all I needed for my RV I was sold. I had a Honda 2000 that I had converted to propane but it did not have enough power and I did not want to purchase another one to run in parallel for the money it cost to buy this unit. Plus, this unit comes with push button and remote start. Also, instead of adding external run time monitoring it came equipped with a full range of monitoring. It is heavy, but I purchased a ramp to load it into my pickup truck. I now can take it with my travel trailer and camp in National Forest or lower cost sites in the national parks. I will save the money I would have spent on campsites with full services and probably have a better experience being in the park.

Love Remote Start & Running On Propane

I bought the IGEN4500DF for RV boondocking and home backup power. Love the remote start when in the RV and I can connect it to my remote propane port at the rear of my trailer. It's very quiet near idle and fairly quiet even when running at full bore. This is only only generator I could find with propane, auto-choke and remote start. Very happy with the purchase!

Initial Review

After initial inspection of the product found battery terminal broken. After following all instructions, cranked it up first time (by recoil). Wouldn’t start the second time (by recoil) rigged up the broken battery post and was able to get it started with electric start. Let it run on gas power with no load for 5 hours. (Should have battery secured separately in packaging) Haven’t put a load on it yet. Plan on doing so after break in.
