Works great now, but I had two problems. No. 1---the 30 amp connector is installed upside down, so, using a right angle male connector the cable faces up. Not a major issue. No. 2---the unit started and ran perfectly the first time I tried it. The next day we had a power outage, but when I started the unit it ran very rough, had no output, and smoked a bit. I assumed the automatic choke was stuck engaged. I removed the side cover and found what I thought was the problem. A metal tube around the spark plug wire had distorted a smaller tube next to it because of interference. I corrected this and also tapped on the carburetor since I could not locate anything that looked like an automatic choke. Don't know which action worked but the unit ran correctly after that and I have now run it about six times with no issues. Hope that is the end of the problem.

Connected the battery, added oil & gas... it fired right up at the push of a button. Runs great and super quite. Unit generates enough juice to run EVERYTHING in my 18' camper at once including the 13500 BTU AC with plenty of power to spare. Eco mode ensures that I don't burn fuel unnecessarily by throttling down when extra power isn't needed. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Just picked up this 5000c generator to power the ac on a toy hauler. Doing initial run in and limiting the load for the first 5 hours as specified in the manual. Will know tomorrow how successful it is in running the ac. Fairly quiet and no issues yet.

We received our generator, and went through the setup process. I was surprised at how easy it was to start the generator using the manual pull start, the electronic start and the remote start. No regrets on this purchase. Super quiet. I was standing right next to the generator having a conversation with a friend who is hard of hearing with no problem.

I bought this to replace a 5250 watt gen that work great just to loud .. It started right up and is very quiet. I own a pair of honda 2000i and this generator is almost as quiet .. will see how reliable it is as time goes on .. so far so good .. A+

I bought this generator the end of October so we could spend more time in the desert with my kids and grand kids. Powered everything in the RV including the A/C with no problems. Very quiet also convenient and maneuverable with the extension arm. Worked very well for our needs.

The Westinghouse name brand, 3 year parts warranty, and great reviews led me to purchase this product. I have loaded it up with many different appliances and it purrs like a kitten. It's reasonably quiet between 65 - 83 DB, you can hold a conversation next to it without any problems. Much quieter than my non-inverter generator. Weighing a little over 100 pounds I am surprised at how easy it is to move with the built in retractable handle and it doesn't feel that heavy if you have to lift it using built in lift handles. A lot of thought went into its design and it is very easy to access serviceable parts. I like the supplied oil funnel as it screws in the oil filler tube which ensures oil will not spill when filling, unlike those other funnels that have a tendency to pop out at the wrong time. However the best part of this generator, is the informative lcd panel. It toggles between 5 screens. The screen I use the most is the one that shows the power load the generator is pulling. In addition to the 5 LCD informative screens, it has an ever present percent of fuel remaining gauge and a percent of load indicator in 25% increments. Very easy to read. One feature that could be improved is to have the ability to change the remaining fuel display from Liters to Gallons remaining, however this is not a deal killer. If you do not use the built in battery to start the generator, the pull handle starts it up in one or two pulls and the remote start key fob works great! This generator, like others, also has an auto shut off if the load exceeds the generator capacity or the oil level is too low. It also has a charger so you can top off the built in battery monthly if the generator is not being used. Well thought out, three ways to start it, easy to transport, perfect compact size. I highly recommend this product!

Bought unit in october 2020. Initial setup was straight forward and generator performed as described. I have maintained it as required, started to keep battery charged etc... Went out today, and it appears as though battery is dead, and I had to choke it to get it to start manually. Started on second pull. Charging battery overnight to see what happens. One would think the battery would last longer than 6 months.

I purchased an iGen5000c the first of August. The set up was easy, but I recommend to only pour in about 2/3 of the supplied bottle of oil and check the level before adding more. When I pressed the start button, it fired up in just a couple of seconds. It is way quieter than my Honda lawnmower. I have it in my back yard just around a corner of the house about 20 feet away from the backdoor. I went into the house, and with the door open, I couldn't hear it over the TV. It easily powered my refrigerator, lights and TVs with plenty left over to still be able to run a microwave, toaster oven or even a small window AC unit.

Just got this great inverter generator last week. Unpacked, and recharged battery (with included charger) just to be sure. Don't forget to open battery compartment and snap together battery wire connectors before you recharge battery. Added oil (included) and gas. Started right away. Very quiet.
