This iGen was purchased to pair with my first iGen to power a 5th wheel trailer while boondocking. With two iGens and the parallel wiring setup to supply 50amp power, we are golden. Easy to work with, easy to operate, easy on gas and easy on the ears. I believe this will suit our needs for many years to come.

I read several reviews over many different makes of generators and this one time and time again had some of the best especially for the cost of this generator. I was not let down. Now it’s just a matter of time before I buy the second one to be able to run everything in my tv at once.

just received my inverter. everything complete and no damage. added oil and gas and test ran. took just a minute to get fuel to carb and fired right up. ran for a little bit and then plugged in some power tools. ran everything very well. even ran my job site compressor. my honda 3000 will not run this compressor. will take camping next weekend for the real test but am very pleased with the unit so far

It runs a tiny bit rough, but I think after checking the spark plug next time out and with an ample 1/2 hour or so warming up it might smooth out. The manual was just OK, but I found a few things missing: Nowhere was it mentioned that the remote was clipped to the pull cord. I found that just by spending time with it up close for a bit. The included charger was also a bit of a mystery, but after examining the front panel for a while, I figured out it was to charge the starting battery when it's been sitting for a while - neat feature. Overall I'm happy this all worked out. No issues and it runs quiet and is even easy to move around.

running fine -- no problems -- starts every time -- running on propane so far -- keeps everything clean --could be a little easier to get to some of the parts -- but i guess thats what keeps the sound down -- like it better than the Honda -- waiting to see how long it last

Worked fine right out of the box. My biggest complaint would be to relocate the carrying handles further to the sides of the generator if possible. Being a bit aged the gen isn't the lightest for two to carry. Handles closer to the edges would make it easier. Also there isn't alot of black top/concrete where we use the generator making the small wheels basically drags in softer terrain. Bigger wheels would help drastically.

We need a generator for occasional power outages in South Texas. So we looked at a number of units and finally decided to buy this unit. The price was almost too good to be true. It came by freight just two days later, we looked up the start-up procedure and had it running in 5 Minutes. We couldn't try it in the house because we needed a converter cable, but we hooked up the house two days later. The genset purred like a kitten and powered everything (not 240 v devices) at around 2500w with ocassional spikes up to 3600w. This generator can easily be moved around by one person, it has sturdy plastic panels and is really quiet. Love it.

I purchased a little over a month ago. It started easy the first couple of times it ran about an hour each time in between oil changes for break in. I went to actually use it on a camping trip and it would not start. So I opened the cover and like many others I found the electronic choke wire off. I Locked it into place and put covers back on and it has ran great every time since . And it is quiet.

My wife and I recently purchased our first travel trailer (Wolf Pup Black Label) and we intend to camp sometimes in areas where there are no electrical hook-ups. I did a lot of research into RV generators prior to purchasing the Westinghouse iGEN5000. With 5000 watts of start-up power and 3900 watts continuous, this generator has ample power output to meet our needs - even with an output derating for higher elevations. It was easy to set up and is easy to operate. It is also relatively quiet. We are fully satisfied and would recommend this unit to others who have fairly light power requirements.

I purchased this because my Honda died.. I have been a Honda guy for years.. but the amazing features on this generator converted me !.. The remote start ! The wheels and handle.. my Honda was so difficult to move... the run time LED meter... the tender charge port for the battery.. great idea.
