Impressive and Easy

I did a great deal of research before buying this. Dual fuel, ease of operation , portability and push button start were the options that made my decision. Mind you, I’ve only run it for a few hours but it worked beautifully and was much less quiet than my old gas generator. Although it was supposed to include the converter and the hose for my propane tank, the hose was missing on mine. (Solved as of today with a call). I used my neighbor’s hose and once I got past the ridiculous amount of warnings in the instruction booklet, I was easily able to power it up and I’m no mechanical genius although it’s dual power, after having run on propane and knowing I won’t have to empty your gas tank when not in use, I’ll never choose the gas option unless forced I plugged in my refrigerator, a fan, two lamps and my coffee maker. It easily handled the load. The handle pulls out and makes it possible to pull it like a suitcase. I’m a small woman and was still able to handle it

Fuel efficient, compact but remote start useless

The generator works and is efficient but the remote start use useless. If the unit isn't running, after about 7 hours the starting battery drains and remote start won't work. If you shut down the circuit by hand on the generator, the battery holds charge but you have to then go to the generator and turn the switch back on manually before the remote start works. Since we purchased this genny for the remote start feature it is big thumbs down on this issue. We even replaced the battery thinking it was defective but had the same issue with the new battery. I also think that the sound level at idle is much higher than 52dbs. Our comparable size Honda is much quieter. Good - Fuel efficient and compact Bad - Remote is non functional if unit has not run for more that 7 hours

Great piece of equipment

We wanted a year to have this generator come back in stock.We love it, well worth the wait.Great price ,quick delivery with no damage. We are using it to go boondocking with our travel trailer. Great to know we have back up power when the hurricanes come to Florida.

Does what it says

Ran for a few hours so far. Was able to maintain the temperature in smaller deep freezer, a 20cu ft fridge/freezer, and a dehumidifier (This was running on natural gas, did even better on propane, haven't used with gasoline). Was bought to keep our vaccines viable in an emergency. Haven't had to use it in that capacity.

Dual Fuel is a perk

We had been using a smaller Honda gasoline generator and decided we wanted an inverter generator with propane. We dry camp a bit and carry gasoline for our ATV, but we plan to travel with only the camper and being able to just bring propane (which will be used for the camper also) is a big bonus. So far, we just picked it up and ran it a little to make sure everything worked OK. Our residence is at 5200 ft. elevation, we camp around 8,000 to 10,000 ft. It appears we'll need 2 or 3 jet orifices for altitude adjustment, so that will not be as convenient as other generators we've owned (Onan 5500 had just a slide adjustment for altitude). While securing the small starter battery, we thought the strap had broken. On looking closer, the metal clip is split and allowed part of the rubber strap to slide off. Easy fix and hopefully it stays in place.

Lives up to all I read about it.

Received promptly and in good condition. Read instructions and prepped for starting with propane. Cranked immediately with remote fob and ran on both ‘eco’ and full power for long period. Well designed user interface panel and placement of oil/air filter/battery access area. Also well designed collapsible handle for pulling on four or two wheels - nice design idea. Ohhh! And quiet.

It was just what I was looking for.

I was a little worried when package arrived the box was ripped open on the side, bottom had no tape & top tape had come lose, only thing keeping it together was one nylon band the other must have broken off. Luckily generator was fine & looked great. I checked it out, read manual & got it ready for operation, didn't gas or start it I got it for power-outages & didn't want to put gas in just to run it & have to drain tank & carb again to store it. I'm counting on Westinghouse quality name & quality control for it to be ready when I need it but I might use it before then.

iGen5000Dfc

I loved this unit so much that I went out and bought a second one, and it has worked flawlessly. I am very happy. This is the dual-fuel model, so I tried it on propane, and the transition from propane to gas worked great also. It is a highly recommended unit.

Westinghouse iGen5000DFc Dual Fuel Inverter

I researched many generators over the past few weeks and talked to a few of my friends. I purchased this Westinghouse iGen5000DFc Dual Fuel Inverter generator to help with the local power outages in Texas. I watched a few videos and set it up yesterday. This is a well built generator and I'm happy with my purchase.

Love it!

Just took it out of the box and had it running on propane in less than 10 minutes. That was after about 20 minutes of reading the quick-start guide and manual. Definitely familiarize yourself with everything, but this baby is super simple. Pretty quiet too, especially in Eco mode.
