Waiting to see on performance

Say one. Did as the manual instructed, filled with the supplied oil, filled with gasoline. Then some had suggested run without load, then mixed load, power off & cool down, and repeat a couple of time. On the 30 amp load ran for a good while then just shutdown. would not restart. Called the support line, and it appeared to have too much oil. Manual very unspecific on where exactly to stop. Would be nice to say "put in 10 ounces, put in 2 cups, not keep putting in oil AND screwing in and out the dip stick 8 times until you think it's good. Anyway. Got it running again and 10 min later died again. By this time to late in day to mess with it anymore. Testing at home and very glad I wasn't on a trip somewhere. Recommending for now. Will wait and see how it turns out to update review.

Fabulous capabilities and quality

The fact that it is dual fuel with 3300 running watts with high quality and at a reasonable price point stands out from most competitors in the portable generator market. Love the running wattage of this item, the dual 120volt and single 30amp plug. Perfect for a motor home while traveling/camping in case of overnight with no power available or power outage at camp ground. I highly recommend this over lower quality and capability generators.

Exactly what I needed for my home backup power.

Love the duel fuel so I can run on propane and not have to deal with the mess and care of gas. There was some corrosion on the rim where the gas goes, which ideally I wish wasn't there. It also smelled like gas so I am assuming that was from testing? Super easy to set up and set started. Fired right up and is ready to go when I need it.

Super quiet!

Researched the entire market before buying this generator. The Westinghouse was the quietest and had the best warranty. Great price too. Brought the generator home and it started right up after setup. Can't wait for summer to use this generator at the camp ground. This generator is super quiet!

ELECTRIC START

"I recently purchased the Westinghouse iGen5000DFC generator, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. Its dual fuel capability offers flexibility, allowing me to switch between gasoline and propane easily. The power output is impressive, reliably running my essential appliances during outages without a hitch. The electric start is a game-changer, making it incredibly user-friendly. Overall, the iGen5000DFC is a robust, efficient, and dependable generator that offers great value for the money. Highly recommended for anyone in need of a reliable power backup solution."

Great Price for power and Dual Fuel

Bought this for price and power as a Honda EU2200 Gen will not power my Travel Trailer AC. With this unit being Dual dual fuel. I can use my Trailers Gas grill hookup to fuel the generator. Or gas or spare Propane tank. Going to mount this on my Travel trailer bumper which is where my Shore power hookup is. Easy start with pull cord and electric start no need to go outside if raining to start.

Lifesaver

The generator worked flawlessly when it was needed the most. Due to the region power outages cause by Hurricane Beryl this generator was used nonstop for 4 days. This generator was very fuel efficient so I didn't have to wake up in the middle of the night to add fuel.

Dual fuel driven purchase

I bought this for the occasional boon-docking opportunities we might have while using our fifth-wheel RV. For me, tying into the propane tanks on board seemed to make it an easy choice for the operating the generator. The generator looked great coming out the box. I'm happy to have it on board for non-electric sites. The only downside to this purchase was the overall height was 1” too high to fit under my roll-top cover for the pick-up bed. I'm hoping this unit will give me many years of satisfactory service.

Perfect for our needs

I have a dual fuel generator, which is great however it's too big for a few hours of electricity being at the house after a bad rainstorm or to take with us to a party if we need a generator. When I saw this generator that was also an inverter that was small enough to put in the back of my, small SUV easily I grabbed it. All the quick instructions after a group it started easily. Hopefully we don't really have to use it in Emergency but happy to have it.
