Love the way it runs, smooth and quiet compared to my old Generac. Access to oil fill through access panel is difficult due to tight fit and my hands aren't exactly large. Be careful when adding fuel for the first time - the screen filters will back up the flow if you pour too fast. Other than those growing pains I would recommend the unit.

I have to jump through hoops to have the generator provide electricity the way I wanted it to function. Unhappy to learn the remote start feature drains the battery when the feature is left on for 12 hours or so. Unhappy to learn I can't leave anything plugged in while doing a remote start. Unhappy to learn I can't leave the eco feature on while starting the generator, Unhappy to learn I can't charge the battery with an external battery charger while it's connected to the generator. Perhaps it's my charger to blame. No info in the operating manual regarding the battery, Somewhat difficult to remove the battery because of space limitations if you have large hands. I complain because I bought the generator to provide heat to my RV when I'm in the remote northern sections of Maine when it's 20 degrees to 20 below zero. To my disappointment, I can't stay in my bed nice and warm to start the generator with the FOB. I will say the generator is quiet and I can't say much more about it because I have run it for less than 10 minutes. It does appear to be well built though.

The Good: (1) Generator shipped in reasonable time. (2) Easy to set up as all tools are included, even the engine oil. (3) Works as expected ( when stating with button ) and Noise level very reasonable. The Bad: I wanted to try starting manually too. The recoil handle broke off and detached from the wire. The wire simply retracted into the generator and cannot be found.

Bought this generator to replace a 7 year old open frame non inverter generator. This generator is MUCH quieter even under load. Remote start works great. This generator is heavy which is the only negative but it does seem well built. Hopefully I will get 7 reliable years from this one like I got from my old one.

I'm really impressed with the Westinghouse iGen 5000DFC. From the start, it's been reliable and easy to use. What stands out the most is how quiet it runs compared to other generators I've used. Whether I'm running it during a camping trip or for home backup, the noise is minimal, which is great for not disturbing neighbors or wildlife. It also feels very well-built—sturdy and durable. It handles loads well and runs smoothly without any issues. So far, I haven't had any problems with it, and it gives me confidence that it will last for years to come. I appreciate the dual fuel capability, which adds flexibility depending on what fuel I have available. All in all, it's a great generator, and I'd highly recommend it for anyone looking for something reliable, quiet, and easy to use!

To be honest I'm leaving this review to get the free cover. I got it right before the hurricane hit Houston and it arrived after my power came back so I'm saving it for the next time. It's a heavy so be ready for that but it started up just fine right out of the box, came with everything I would need (except the gas obviously) and I have had no problems with it so far. Turned it over a couple of times to make sure the fuel doesn't go bad and to keep checking on it. Nice feature is the remote start up and that it's an inverter so it won't kill my electronics. It's noisy but not bad. Your neighbors will know you have a generator if they are walking around outside but it shouldn't be that bad when they are inside. Four stars because I haven't used it yet fully but so far what I have done with it doesn't disappoint.

I own a 9.5k generator but it's quite large, noisy and occupies lot of space. Bought the Westinghouse iGen4000DFc and I couldn't ask for more. Very happy with the unit features and also very quiet, where conversation are possible near the unit. Will reccomend it to any one..

I just unpackaged and did my break in run and the remote doesn't work. I tried everything and read instructions. The oil drain is in a sick place and doesn't allow the oil to drain anywhere but under the motor and inside the entire bottom shroud. I will still recommend this generator though only based on the reviews I've read before purchasing as I have only had it for 2 days. So far I'm not happy with its design. but it seems to run good

I did a lot of research on inverter generators and the Westinghouse iGen11000DFc was one of the top generators on the market for the size I needed it's quieter than your conventional generator great features easy to put together had it up and running within 30 minutes having the dual fuel system is awesome. I definitely would recommend this generator or even the bigger versions.

Bought this generator based off of reviews on igen4500. My requirements when searching for a generator were dual fuel and inverter type. Havent used this generator much yet but so far so good. Performs as expected and at very acceptable noise levels.
