In searching for a dual fuel generator I came across this Westinghouse, I GEN 5000 DFC and after reading the reviews I realize it with it was a perfect for someone my age. Electric start, small, dual fuel propane, especially is great for someone like me.

Westinghouse was so anxious to get a review that they automatically triggered this review at the end of the Warranty Registration process. I have not put oil or gas in it yet. I’m currently reading the owner’s manual. I do like the large carrying handles the transport wheels and the extendable handle. At approximately 100 lbs we can carry it easily where the wheels won’t roll.

I purchase this a few weeks ago for RV. Only issue I had was starting it, it want to flood and gas was pouring out from underneath, I think the electric choke was stuck or it was not firing, took the side cover off and press the spark plug wire down and then it started right up.

I am using this generator as backup power for the home. No hurricanes this year but I have had two days without power due to construction to test it out. I have been able to run a 13K BTU portable air conditioner, refrigerator, computer, and wifi/ networking equipment. The unit started with the battery very easily. My wife had difficulty with the pull start but was able to get the generator started with that method as well. The guages are very easy to read. I would like for it to have some measure of total running time to easier schedule maintenance.

We haven't had a chance to actually put it to use for an extended period. However, we have cranked it and used it to run our living quarters horse trailer for a bit. It works perfectly and is really quiet! Who needs to pay waaaay more for a H***a when you can have a Westinghouse for a whole lot less. It serves the same purpose! Love it! And we have already recommended to someone else we know wanting to purchase one!

I bought it to use when dry camping and keep hours off my Built in generator. It runs a 15k Ac unit no problem. It wont run the micro and AC at the same time but any other combo of devices is fine. Pretty quiet when using low power, about the same as my Honda 2000. But when you pull a larger load it is a little louder, but not obnoxious. Honestly even then its tough to hear while in the coach. The remote start is AWESOME! Works very well. Tim

I have Big Camper that’s 50amp. When downsizing my camping trips I recently bought a tent. Needed a quiet generator for our National Forest, but also this model is quiet (52db) enough, but you can parallel another compatible generator and still run my large 50 amp camper. The iGen5000C Is quite enough to run with my small tenting needs but also my Big camper. When I’m out away from camping or tenting, the remote control comes in handy for my wife to run when I’m not there. Also, the computer display comes in handy when it’s about getting dark and whatever load that you put on at that particular time, it will tell you the range running time for that amount of gas and load you have! The display also shows our meter for servicing, and the left side has a bar graph of level of gas. She was in the house a few minutes ago. Wife and I are Happier Campers :)

I bought a iGen4500 for my camper. Very convenient remote control!! Just turn off 110 volt main breaker, push the start button, wait a few minutes & turn the main breaker back on. That simple. Same for turning off. Turn off breaker & let the inverter cool off for a few minutes, then push the off button on the remote. All from inside the camper. Plenty of power to run everything. May not be enough for a 2 AC unit camper but very capable for my needs.

I purchaced this unit a month ago and I am so glad I did. Thankfully our weather has not knocked out our power yet but at least I have piece of mind that we are prepaired for when the time comes. Compared to my older open unit this unit is very quite and can handle our esentials when needed.

I purchased this for a 27' toy hauler to power while we're boondocking. I've barely just started the generator, but it appears to be running smoothly and powering things just fine. I've owned open frame generators in the past, but this is my first inverter generator, and I will say, this thing is ridiculously quiet. I like the digital gauge and the easy to read panel. The only downside so far is that the oil fill is fairly tucked away inside of the unit and it can be tough for people with larger hands to screw and unscrew the dipstick. A fairly minor complaint.
