Great Generator

I'm giving this review to get the free generator cover. With that said, after putting oil in the generator this thing started right up with the pull start, electric start, and remote start off of propane fuel. Fuel. I did a test run on my 30-ft sport Trek camper with no problems. So far so good

Great Features

I had researched and shopped for a dual fuel generator mostly to use when we camp off the grid. The Westinghouse iGEN5000DFc had good reviews, plus i have two friends who own a Westinghouse and they gave them excellent ratings. I liked this one for its ease in starting, the duel fuel, and convenience in moving around and its very quiet. Good price and a very good purchase.

Generator is great so far but…

This is a great generator for the $ however we had an issue with filling the oil because the dipstick was obstructed by a screw sticking out in front of it making it extremely difficult to remove and replace. Aside from that we have ran it for only about 2.5 hours so far and it has worked as it should. I like that it has an easy push button start. Overall a good generator.

Great Features

So happy we have a generator to use as an emergency backup for some appliances or to keep the house from bursting pipes. The product is cool that it allows gas and propane and has a telescoping handle to help haul around. The wheel kit makes it very convenient.

Very Quiet! Lots of Power!! Not a disappointment!!

I searched researched generators for a while, cause my other was too noisy. I couldn't use if I wanted to have a conversation in camp. I found this one and checked all the reviews, made a decision to find that where ever I looked, it was out of stock. I for one for sale, and I jumped on it. Box was a little damaged in shipping, however the generator comes very well packaged to take a beating in shipping. Everything was included in the box; remote key fob, propane regulator, oil, and 12 mini charger to keep on-board battery charged. It took about 20 minutes to get out of box, add oil, fuel, and connect the battery. Read through the instructions. Yanked 3 times and it fired right up. It has a 30amp RV connection on it, which I connected my RV, cranked on the A/C and used the microwave. PLENTY OF POWER... Played around with it a bit more... efficiency mode … quieted the unit down even more. Great Display. Remote start works well to turn the generator ON or OFF. Would highly recommend the IGen4500.

Initial purchase review

Delivery by FedEx was a little nerve-racking. The box was "rolled" from the street to the outside of my fence. My dog heard the last drop of the roll which was upside down. It was delivered a day and a half early with no notice, a good thing we didn't take off for the weekend. Unpacked generator connected battery, added 3/4 of supplied oil (that was the full level) Started the gen on propane with the remote, ran for a couple of hours, changed the oil to full synthetic. The noise level is nice, in all settings. Seamless and easy. We used a pick-up truck receiver hoist to lift gen to the top of my roll-away toolbox to change the oil. For the next oil change, I will install an elbow and rubber tube down to the hole in the bottom panel. The current design of the drain creates a mess on the bottom panel. Other than the oil drain design it is a 5-star generator we will use for powering the RV.

Great for RVing

I bought this a little over a month ago and the flexibility of gasoline or propane is great. The generator was easy to set up and both fuel types work equally well. This sits well in the truck bed (locked in) and produces plenty of power. Highly recommended.

IGen5000DFc inverter Generator

This Westinghouse inverter generator is powerful and has many features you’d want in a mid sized inverter generator. Dual fuel is a must and this has a selector switch than can switch from gasoline to propane without shutting down the generator(load must be disconnected first). Theses a carbon monoxide detector that will shut it down if excess co is detected. The weight is approx. 105 pounds which is right on par for this size. It’s much quieter than the larger open frame generators, and supplies clean energy for sensitive electronics. All in all a good choice for inverter generators. One improvement needed in my opinion, would be a quick disconnect for the propane attachment to the generator. Instructions say to hand tighten the fitting then look for leaks using soap water. A little inconvenient but not a deal breaker. You can link another generator through the parallel ports if desired. There are 2 120v AC receptacles and 1 30A 120v receptacle you can use with the proper RV adapter extension cord(can convert to 3 additional 120v extensions for household use)

IGen4500DF

Features I like are the extending handle and large wheels to make it easier to maneuver. Starts easily and panel is easy to read. Instructions are not consistent. One section says to not change fuel source while running and another section gives instructions on how to switch fuel source while running. Still in the break-in period. Decibel meter shows 67 on eco mode. Thought it would be less than 60. Instructions say to empty entire bottle of oil in crankcase, but that overfilled it. Not 100% happy with this generator just yet.

Too New For a Review, But

Generally I think 5 star reviews are worthless, go to the 1 stars to get the dirt. That said we got this for the quiet factor, and it is relatively speaking. It is far quieter than my larger open frame. When we lose power and want the ac I went to the room where we would run a window shaker, the ac drowned out the generator could not hear it run. Set up was easy, ran it on propane. Pushed the start button, it ran for a second or so, nothing. Pushed start again, fired right up. Learned that the generator needed to be off the eco mode for the ac (8000 BTU) to work. Would love to update after a full test but if we'd have to wait for another hurricane, no thanks.
