Want to love it.

This thing has so many useful features I'm hoping it will live up to my expectations. It's off to a shaky start, though. On the plus side, the operation is easy and straightforward. Love the electric start! Love that it has an RV electrical outlet as well as standard 120V outlets. Love the dual-fuel capability. I added gas and oil (more on that shortly), left the run switch off and pulled the starter cord a few times to make sure oil was circulated. Turned the switch to on, pushed START and voila, up and running. The operating manual cautions against running it with no load so I verified it was running smoothly then shut it off. Now for the not so good. I have to agree with other reviewers. Adding oil is a bit awkward. Not nearly as awkward as draining and changing it is going to be. More bad - my unit is leaking oil. At first the leak was fairly significant. I think one possibility for it is that there may have been some residual oil in the engine left over from factory testing. I followed the directions in the manual and added the whole container supplied with the unit and, since you can't actually see what's happening while you're adding the oil, it may have overflowed and that's where the dripping is coming from. The dripping has slowed (after about 20 hours) but it's still there. I'm going to give it another day to see if it stops before I contact tech support. Other than that, it seems to be an excellent product and well worth the money.

Great Features

I bought this in November. My daughter has one and loves it. I love that it's dual Fuel and you can charge various accessories. It's heavier than I anticipated but nothing I can't handle. I bought it for emergency outages. I've been researching generators for several years now and loved everything about this iGen.

GREAT FEATURES AND PRICED REASONABLY

I JUST PURCHASED THIS UNIT BECAUSE YOU CAN RUN IT ON LP GAS OR GASOLINE. AFTER INITIAL START UP IN BOTH MODES IT PERFORMED WELL. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE, AND WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANY ONE LOOKING FOR A DUEL FUEL INVERTER GENERATOR, PLUS I FORGOT TO MENTION IT IS VERY QUIET WHEN RUNNING!

Westinghouse iGen5000DFc Inverter Generator

I bought this for our RV trailer. It started up perfect. It worked with no issues when we connected it to the RV trailer. It runs the Air conditioner, refrigerator with no issues. We have not overloaded it and are adding extra load slowly. Great generator and it is working great!!!!

Great Generator

I bought a couple of months ago and finally set it up. I have the iGen4500DF. This is everything that I wanted in an inverter generator and more. Quieter than I expected and love the remote start. Everything works exactly as expected right out of the box.

TESTING AND ALL ETURES ARE GREAT

THIS UNIT IS WORKING GREAT. TESTING AND MAKING SURE I AM NOT EXCEEDING THE 50% POWER BREAK IN LIMIT. SO FAR THIS IS WORKING AS EXPECTED AND IS THE PERFECT SIZE FOR MY NEEDS. I RECEIVED THE PRODUCT AND THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE UNIT. I HOOKED IT TO PROPANE AND IT STARTED IN FOUR PULLS, WHICH WAS IMPRESSIVE. SO FAR ALL FUNCTIONS WORK.

Great Features

I picked this up today and immediately set it up to verify it works properly. Started right up. Ran on propane and gasoline without any problems. Only complaint is the AC wall adapter battery charger is not the correct one. It has angled plugs and the same quick disconnect as the cable inside the battery compartment.

A very good upgrade to previous generator

I received the generator yesterday in advance of yet another hurricane headed for Florida. I got it for the dual fuel option. Unboxing was pretty straightforward, and one thing I will mention is that the wheels really help with mobility. My first generator, which is just as heavy, was nearly impossible to move. But this one made movement super easy. The directions in the manual were thorough. I do think they need some work with organization of it and have matching graphics to the items they discuss in the manual. I will update this post as I proceed through setup and running the generator in the coming days, so stay tuned!

So far, so great!

I purchased this generator after having a competitor's (red, HF model). Well, I actually had 2 of theirs after the first wouldn't power my AC on my trailer I traded it in on a new one. The second one didn't either and either said "overload" or CO censor issues. So far so good/great with this one and I'm excited to get to use it with our competition BBQ trailer this weekend.
