I just got this unit, therefore I have only used it for a very short time, but I am extremely impressed with it so far. The electric start feature is great. I will be using it mostly with a travel trailer, so the option of running on either propane or gasoline in also a terrific feature. However, the best thing is that it's much quieter than I expected. I think this will be a great generator for the trailer with the capacity to run the air conditioner, coffee pots, hairdryers and anything else we need.

I bought the IGEN 5000DFC yesterday. I found this unit to provide lots of great features. The multi display is outstanding and provides full status of the unit while operating. The dual fuel option is really a great feature as well. A couple items that I found could be improved: 1) The manual is vague on the operation. Fails to say how to turn the unit on specifically & how to turn it off. I figured it out & its simple.by pushing the round start button to turn on & also to turn it off. 2) Read the manual fully before operating. Fortunately I did this. The unit ships without any fluids in place. Must service the engine oil before you start it. 3) Engine oil service port is small & difficult to get into if you have larger hands. Otherwise, This is a great unit. Quiet and delivers as expected.

I waited to right the review until I have been able to try it out. While I haven't been camping, I believe lack of use isn't good, so I do monthly run everything in my RV. Over the last three month I have used the generator to operate and warm up my RV. I bought it for all of it's features. Here is a list of things that I think would be helpful for those thinking about buying one. - Directions were easy to follow. - It is simple to change from gas to propane. - Instructions say start without a load, but it has a remote start. Still confused about this. - When cold I have had to push the start twice for it to start, but it starts with no problem with the electric start. - I tried to start it with the pull start. Only tried it a couple times and it didn't start. I think it would work but not a one or two pull cold start. I think this would tie back to how lone it takes the electric start to work. - The box it came in wasn't sturdy. There wasn't any damage to the unit but the box was not reusable. I believe these boxes were designed for transport by pallet not single shipment, something they should look at redesigning. - It is about 100lbs something to consider. - If you leave gas in it run it once a month for a least ½ hour. - It was able to run my AC and microware at the same time. - For RV'ers I have discovered that the “hot” water heater uses a lot of power, might consider using it propane mode While it's the first generator I have owned, it has met all my expectations and would purchase it again.

To keep this short, I use this to power my travel travel AC and microwave being the biggest items. With the amazing remote start, from anywhere around your campsite, you start, run on propane, and use both micro and AC at the same time, which still gave 25% more power available. Love it runs on propane, and also has the remote start. Started first run, and has been flawless. Three trips to the wild so far.

It started with ease out off the box after connecting battery, adding fuel and oil. Have used with gas and propane with no issues. Very quiet even under load. Wife and daughter both find it easy to use which makes me happy and confident it will be used and help during a power outage or emergency.

I purchased this generator for use on with my fifth wheel trailer. The features are helpful for what I need to do. Securing it was a bit tricky, but I found a way to anchor it to the platform with u-bolts and secure with lock and cable. It handles the need loads better than I expected!

I've been wanting a dual fuel generator for a while and finally decided to purchase this Westinghouse iGen4500DF. It's much quieter than the classic generator's you might be used to and the ability to use either gasoline or propane is great, there's a selector on the control panel to choose fuel type. I intend to use primarily propane to extend the life of the carburetor when the generator sits for extended periods. The control panel will show hours run, voltage, fuel level, power output, etc and has push button start. This is a nice generator and I can't wait to really get into using it.

Love the bells and whistles this generator comes with. You can't beat it for the price. Comes set up for propane with no extras needed. Ordered via Samsclub. Box was beat up but the generator was in decent shape. No scratches. A few spots in the blue plastic that seemed light in color like it had been hit or stressed, that or they just had inconsistent coloring. Quiet, although the frame has a bit of rattle to it. Hoping I can find something loose. Noticeably a little louder in that than other models, although exhaust seems quiet from afar. Had lots of trouble starting on its first time. Ended up killing battery I tried so much, and it wouldn't start with the pull cord either. Charged battery up (while it let it rest) and it took right off 2 hrs later after it had rested. Seems to start great now.

I bought this generator about a month ago and finally got to put it to the test this weekend. I live in FL where we need to be prepared every year for tropical storm and hurricane caused power outages. I've had a Predator 3500 for several years and love it, but it's only 120V. I wanted something that was still relatively quiet but had the power to run my big loads like central AC and stove. To run the AC I first installed a MicroAir EasyStart and it works great! This generator has no problem starting it up along with everything else in the house. Electric start is so easy. You just push the button and it fires right up. If it doesn't start the first time, just wait a second and it automatically tries starting t again. I've only had it for a very short time so I still have lots of testing and break in to do but so far it has been great. The noise level is a little louder than my Predator 3500 but no where near what an open frame equivalent would be. Those can be quite obnoxious in a residential neighborhood like mine. My only complaint is that I wanted to test out the recoil start and the rope knot slipped out of the handle on the 2nd pull. So it's in there somewhere and I have no idea how to disassemble the unit to get it back out. Not cool at all because that's the only way to start it if the battery is dead. Now I need to find out where to get it repaired under warranty. Since they are out of stock everywhere it's not as simple as just returning it for another one.

We bought this generator a month ago for specific reasons. 1) several electric outages occur in our area, 2) we needed to run our life saving medical equipment without interruption, 3) must have an inverter for the computer and other sensitive electronics. It's the perfect generator, dual fuel propane and fuel, electric, pull, and remote start. Has wheels and a handle for easy movement. It is uncommonly quiet!! Amazing. We're very happy with this purchase. Would highly recommend this generator for everyone.
