I bought this a while back for emergencies. Didn't open it up right away so that was my fault so battery died so I had to jump it so it would start. The problem is I had difficulty starting it with the pull string which sort of defeats the purpose. But once I got it started it worked like a charm

Generator was very easy to setup. Add supplied oil with supplied funnel, Connect battery cables, add fuel or connect propane. That's it! I connected propane, again with supplied hose, and it fired right up first try! We are expecting bad weather so I let it run for 5 hour break in period only running a battery charger and heat lamp in chicken coop. That way I can change and add synthetic oil before storm not during. It ran smoothly and quietly without any issues. Looking forward to using it during power outages and while camping in our travel trailer. Can't give 5 stars after just one use

We bought this generator online during the 2026 catastrophic ice storm in North Mississippi and neighboring states. We were so lucky, although the retail company Norwall is based out west, one of their warehouses is here in our hometown so I picked it up myself. After 7 days, our electricity thankfully came back on but there are still thousands without it. This Westinghouse Inverter Generator saved the food that we had in two freezers and also provided power for a few lights we could move around with extension cords. In the near future will add a connection box to our breaker box that will allow us to connect the 30a RV plug to it and give us many more options if we ever have another terrible event like this. We ran it on propane and it never failed to crank very quickly with the pull cord. The battery that was included had lost its charge when I unboxed the unit but that's ok, I didn't mind manually starting it. We were desperate. I would give this generator 20 stars if it were possible!

I could not get the battery connection fully seated through the small access panel. Had to remove the entire rear cover to get enough leverage. Filled it with gas and tried to start it with the electric starter. It just buzzed. Started with rope on the 2nd pull. Let it run for an hour while running a fan. Shut it down and tried the button. Fired right up! The supplied battery didn't have enough charge to engage the starter. Hooked up a propane bottle and connected it to the house. Took two start attempts to purge the propane and get it running. Ran it .3 hours with a 1.2kw load. Burned about 2 gallons of propane.

I bought this generator in early November and everything so far , from arrival condition to unboxing to set up has been flawless. The set up instructions were easy to follow and the quick start guide allowed me to start the generator both on electric start and pull start on the very first time. Everything looks sharp and it is well constructed. I could not be happier with this unit.

I bought this Westinghouse 5000W generator specifically for our travel trailer, and it has been an absolute game-changer for our camping trips. What I love most: • RV Ready: having the 30amp outlet (TT-30R) built right in means I can plug my RV directly into the unit without fussing with dog-bone adapters. • Remote Start: This is a luxury I didn't know I needed until now. Being able to start the generator from inside the camper early in the morning to make coffee—without going out into the cold—is amazing. • Power: It easily handles my 13,500 BTU air conditioner and the microwave simultaneously without bogging down. I mostly run it on propane because it burns cleaner and I don't have to worry about the carburetor getting gummed up during storage. If you own an RV, this is the one to get.

We got this because my husband is a first responder, so during storms I am alone with the kids. Last few storms we had no power for 10 days. We wanted something that I could do and not be afraid to handle. This is very easy to operate / roll out - I can do myself. I was AMAZED at how quiet it is. My neighbors couldn't believe how quiet it was either and now plan to purchase one themselves -

I just recently purchased the Westinghouse iGen5000DFc generator for my mother-in-law. I was looking for something that had enough peak and running watts for her needs, but also was easy to start, use, and maintain for her. I feel the iGen5000DF was the perfect fit for the price. She really appreciated the easy on/off button start and remote start features. I like the fact that she doesn't have to worry about storing gasoline in her home and having future carburetor issues with old gas in the generator. I would have given this 5 stars, but I need to see how it performs over time. Also, the quick start instructions were a bit misleading regarding what service panels to open to add oil.

I bought the generator over a month ago but just got it setup yesterday and it fired right up on the first pull and my grandson had to do it for me because I am not able to pull the cord and that's why I bought the electric start. It was a must buy because of the weather this year and I couldn't pull the cord on my older manual starter. Thank you for such a quality product that Westinghouse has always been known for over many years. I am 76 and my parents bought a large electric fan when I was two and it lasted for about 55 years. I actually sold metal working machinery to Westinghouse in Raleigh and Fayetteville, NC probably in the neighborhood of the last 25 years maybe more. Always had high respect for Westinghouse products and also respect for the people that I was dealing with in manufacturing plants in North Carolina.

I'm really excited to use the iGen5000DF inverter generator at an upcoming event. After doing my research, I chose this model because it offers dual-fuel capability and promises clean, stable power. I plan to run both my 1360 W popcorn machine and 1080 W cotton candy machine, and this generator should provide the reliable power I need for both. So far, I'm impressed with how easy it seems to transport, thanks to the long handle and overall design. It feels manageable to carry around, which is a big plus when you're setting up and breaking down multiple pieces of equipment. Overall, I'm optimistic that the iGen5000DF will deliver the clean, consistent power required for my machines and make my event setup smoother.
