Easy set up

Got this trailer camping. It was easy to setup up, except that the SAE plug on the battery had been crushed when I opened it, so I had to tweak that back into shape (round). Not a big fan of the oil fill/change method; you better hope you don't over fill by 1 milliliter, or you will have spillage inside the case. I put a folded shop towel in there to catch any residue, and I'm glad I did. Otherwise, generator works great, although the display is not rotating like it says it will. Good purchase

Works as advertised

Worked right out of the box. Started instantly and it has performed as advertised. Read lots of reviews and chose Westinghouse because of size and features. I changed oil after five hours of running it at 25%. The oil was still good but I wanted to use those five hours as a break in to give the motor the best opportunity for success. The generator runs our RV 15k air conditioner with ease at 50 % capacity.

Works flawlessly!

This is the first generator I've ever used. I'll say that my expectations were blown away with the quality and functionality of it. Particularly the remote start and noise levels. I was expecting a "3rd time's the charm" for the remote start, knowing that its uncommon for generators. However, it started up within a matter of seconds without hesitation. As for the sound of it, it is much quieter than expected. Much quieter than a lawn mower, and that's not even with the Eco mode activated. with Eco mode its barely noticeable. Great product.

Very quiet

I finally was able to get this generator on 6/17/21. It has been on backorder for a while. So far so good I ran 10 minutes on gasoline and another 10 minutes on propane. I am going to use Rec fuel plus add Marine stable. Doing everything I can do to ensure no water in the gas. And stabilization of the gas so it will last longer. Note the owner's manual says to dump in the whole container of oil which is .63 quarts. Do not do it because it will overfill. My estimates are that it's probably at about.55 quarts. After the break-in oil because I live in Southwest Florida I am going to follow the recommendation of stepping up to an oil way to 15 w40 because we are pretty much always over 80 degrees in Florida. Also I am a believer in the manual States you can use synthetic. The push button start works great and the auto start on the fob works great. It came packaged well with no damage. This will be used strictly for our Villa for power outages and for the risk of hurricanes. For maintenance I plan to run once a month for at least 20 minutes under load

Great Features but Have Not Used Yet

This came in yesterday and though I have not had an opportunity to fire it up yet, it has great features for the price. The oil was a little difficult to put in and the oil drain is not easy access but still manageable. The weight is only 98lbs empty and fairly easy to move with the wheels and handle.

SO FAR GREAT

Bought to run all my Rv needs. So far no issues. I did a lot of research and decided on this due to the dual fuel, Price range and features. This also comes with a tool kit for the Inverter and a nice screw in Oil fill that helps keep the mess down. The included battery charger is nice for the unit to have.

Great dashboard

this unit with dual fuel , eliminates many problems with the fuel supply in many areas. 3 ways to start up unit is a blessing. Good to know this reliable unit will be here IF and when needed, But also hoping I only have to use it ONCE a year for testing reasons.

Quiet, stable, and so far reliable.

May be a 5 star, but haven't had it long enough. The only negative thing I can say about it is the instructions clearly state use ALL of the oil supplied. If you do, the first time you move the generator you will leave a nice trail of oil to mark your movement.

Great Features/Power Source

As far as I have used it, I am happy with its functions. It should get me through an extended power outage should another occur as it did here in Tx in Feb. Not to be political, but failure after failure in the face of each disaster has shown one must make their own plans to deal with these things. But build that wall!

iGen5000DFc

I purchased this Westinghouse iGen5000DFc and it was delivered today. Filled with oil and connected battery. Connected to a propane bottle and it cranked right up with no problem. Runs very quiet. Glad I purchased this. Will be prepared when next storm knocks out our power.
