Great Generator

I bought this almost a month ago and I filled it with oil and gas and run it at an idle for break in for the next oil change one hour a day and it started right away no problem and I was in a little fear that it was going to be kinda noisy but to my surprise it's not much louder then my two eu2000i Honda generator's so I'm pleased with it so far.

Great investment.

I own a 9.5k generator but it's quite large, noisy and occupies lot of space. Bought the Westinghouse iGen4000DFc and I couldn't ask for more. Very happy with the unit features and also very quiet, where conversation are possible near the unit. Will reccomend it to any one..

Excellent generator, great design EXCEPT oil drain

I unboxed this generator and got it up and running today. It started up easily on LP gas (I didn't put any gasoline in the tank). The noise is pretty low and the power seems to be clean enough for all of my electronics I the house. I ran it for several hours and went to drain the break-in oil. That was when the honeymoon ended. Everything else about this unit is nicely designed and easy to access but the oil drain is terrible. I swore and cursed as I tried to get my fingers on the rubber plug and a wrench on the nearly impossible to access drain plug. Couldn't you have made the oil access door a bit wider? I'm going to be looking for an oil extractor pump for the next time. Aside from this oil drain issue, it's a great little generator.

Love it!

Just took it out of the box and had it running on propane in less than 10 minutes. That was after about 20 minutes of reading the quick-start guide and manual. Definitely familiarize yourself with everything, but this baby is super simple. Pretty quiet too, especially in Eco mode.

This Duel fuel generator is as described

I bought this in Mid October 24 and used it at a tailgate for one of the Virginia Tech football games. So far it has performed up to its description. I'm impressed with the ease of operation and the quietness. I am using it for camping and as a light back up for the house in case the power goes out.

Quiet,light and dual fuel

I really like how quiet this generator is and light enough to pick up to get in rear of truck and love the fact we can run it on propane and dont have to worry about spilling fuel. Only down side is out of box we noticed rear panel is cracked,hopefully warranty will replace it

Compact and portable.

I love the compact nature of this product; the wheels make it incredibly easy to move around. The dual fuel feature is it especially important; recently during a storm both were in short supply, so being able to switch between the fuel types, made it more certain that we would continue to be able to fuel the generator.

Maintenance is a breeze

While I haven't had a chance to run this generator for camping, the generator started right out of the box. I am happy with the noise level. Since it was December when I bought it, and I don't plan to use it until this summer, I needed to winterize the generator. This generator makes it easy to drain the gas, remove the spark plug, and it looks like it will be easy to drain the oil.

Great features & easy to use Dual Fuel generator.

We purchased the Westinghouse iGen5000DF Dual Fuel generator shortly after being out of power for over a week as a result of Hurricane Milton. This is a very easy to use Dual Fuel Generator that took only a few minutes to fill with oil, connect to propane and get started. Both switch on the unit and fob started the unit with ease. We tested a few appliances and the generator powered them with ease.

Love it.

We purchased this generator about a week before Hurricane Helene. It was a lifesaver. The wheels and handle made it easy to transport from garage to porch. It was so much quieter than our previous generator. As a matter of fact, the noise of my neighbor's generator two doors down was louder in my house than my own sitting on our porch. We had no problem operating two refrigerators, fans and multiply charges. Would definitely recommend this generator.
