Good buy for price

We actually bought this back in Oct of 2021 and we really love it. Only one negative, is that the automatic choke does not work. We always have to remove the side cover and choke it manually. After that is works like a dream. We are checking into the issue.

this thing is great

I already own a westinghouse 2200 inverter generator and am very pleased with its performance. this one is excellent ,after assembling it it started right up and ran perfectly. I have put 10 hours on it and have changed the oil 2 times.I love it and would not hesitate to recommend it to anybody.

Older woman compatible!

As an older woman living alone, I need reliable power but also need it to be something I can work on my own. I have no experience with small engines, but have set it up and done a trial run to power my home. Yes, I needed some help to learn how, but now I feel confident that I can work it during the next power outage. I'm grateful for the electric start! BTW I store it in my garage and only use propane. An electrician installed an outside plug connected to my home electrical box. I can drag everything outside and plug it in when needed.

So far so good

Was pleased that the generator arrived in great condition. The instructions for preparation for use were very good and there were no missing parts. Have not had an opportunity to use it (fortunately the last hurricane had little impact on coastal Alabama). I really like the dual fuel capability and the quietness of the machine.

Great features.

I bought the IGEN 5000DFC yesterday. I found this unit to provide lots of great features. The multi display is outstanding and provides full status of the unit while operating. The dual fuel option is really a great feature as well. A couple items that I found could be improved: 1) The manual is vague on the operation. Fails to say how to turn the unit on specifically & how to turn it off. I figured it out & its simple.by pushing the round start button to turn on & also to turn it off. 2) Read the manual fully before operating. Fortunately I did this. The unit ships without any fluids in place. Must service the engine oil before you start it. 3) Engine oil service port is small & difficult to get into if you have larger hands. Otherwise, This is a great unit. Quiet and delivers as expected.

Excellent Generator!

We just bought this generator at the beginning of December knowing the we get many power outages in the winter months. We just had to give it a trial run and it worked beautifully! We had zero issues with startup. The unit is quiet, much quite than we anticipated, which we love! The remote start is a really neat bonus feature as well. We're confident this is the perfect generator for our families needs. Highly recommend!

easy start, very reliable so far!

I absolutely love this generator, super easy to use and haven't had an issue yet! the only design flaw I've found was the oil drain- Westinghouse please make it easier to get to, add a valve and a hose so its less mess. the hole in the bottom of the plastic case doesn't even line up with the drain plug

Great Inverter !

I've only had this a short while. Only takes about five minutes to set up. I'm using propane only at this time because it is cleaner and easier to store. It started up after the third crank after using the fob. Ran real smooth and is real quiet in the eco mode. My main use is for power outages due to utility shutting down power on windy days and as well as Mother Nature. Powers refrigerator, tv's and computer with no problem ! Great inverter !!

Great Generator

I purchased this generator to provide an emergency backup power source for my home. I have got it all set up and have run it for a break in period and tested it, and it works exactly as advertised! I believe the high power output, CO safety shutoff, and dual fuel source option make it a safe and versatile generator. Parts are hard to source, as Westinghouse either does not have them in stock or does not have them listed on their website at all, but otherwise I'm very happy with this generator and have peace of mind knowing it will keep my family and me powered through an emergency!

Love the Dual Fuel and Remote Start

I've only owned this generator for 2 months, so far so good. I really like the dual fuel feature. Makes it a great addition to the travel trailer, not having to carry gas cans. The remote start is also a very nice feature. Looking forward to see how it holds up down the road.
