Light and good

I bought this product in 2024 and have not used it until a couple of months ago when we had a power outage. The generator was a little difficult to start up. I found that I had to manipulate the choke and pull several times to finally get it started. After starting it did the job.

Great features for the price!

Really love the large oil dipstick (easy to find when no power in the dark) and the oil funnel included that screws in for less mess! Also love the easy access panels to get to all the insides. The display is the reason I bought this! So easy to read. My super handyman dad bought one of these years ago and I loved it so I had to buy one myself. The small improvements to my newer model are so impactful and thoughtful.

Great Small in Size but Huge in Output Generator

We needed a single easy to carry generator that could start our A/C on our RV. This guy can do it. At 2500 watts and 18.3 amps, you can get that A/C started in combination with an Easy Start on your A/C. It starts easy, maintenance is a breeze, even has two USB ports. We love the display which gives us all the information we need to ensure we are operating smoothly.

Another great Product

I have a larger Westinghouse generator (IGen4500c) that has been awesome. I needed a smaller one for camping and immediately bought another Westinghouse (iGen2550c). The generators are easy to set up and operate. They are very quiet so I don't need to worry about the noise when camping. Great products!

Great tailgating generator

Bought this unit for tailgating and couldn't be more pleased(Go Vols)! Took 12 pulls to start initially, starts on the first pull ever since. Pleased with how quite it is. My friends who own a Yamaha and a Honda have been very impressed with this unit.

Excellent piece of equipment!

Power went out a few weeks ago with no fix time established by com-ed Found this unit the following morning and by noon I was up and running; plugging in an unbelievable amount of stuff! I love the screen showing KW in use / gave me a great window into capacity of the unit / power came back on days faster than expected but so glad to own this beautiful little machine/ sitting on a shelf in the basement ready for the next outage!

New 5000 igen

recently upgraded my existing generator that was 10 years old with a new WGen5000 based on a recommendation of a friend. Now that I the new generator in my home and I can see the high quality of its construction and the ease of use factor I can say that I am very pleased that I made the purchase. The User Manual is well written and very understandable. It was easy to set up the unit and do a test run for about a 1/2 hour. I am confident that when the true time comes of need that i will be well equipped to start my new generator and maintain my home safely. Thanks Westinghouse!

Nice little unit

I am happy with this purchase. I wanted a small, quiet and easy to use generate to run a few things at the cottage if my power went out. I also wanted one that was an inverter and dual fuel because I prefer to run off a propane tank, as propane tanks can also be used for the BBQ so the fuel doesn't go stale! This one does all of these well. It took me a little while to get it started for the first time but I was able to do so with propane. The trick for mine was to prime the propane with 4 presses, pull the recoil a couple times with the choke out, and then close the choke three-quarters, and pull the recoil a few more times. I've run it a few times now to break it in, totalling about 4 hours.

Easy prep for initial startup

the preparation for first start up is ridiculously simple.. directions say add oil until full. but the bottle provided was perfect amount.. 3rd pull it fired right up and ran like a charm.. used it a few hours after initial startup to run a small sump pump.. ran flawlessly

Easily starts RV A/C equipped with Micro Air EasyStart 364

I purchased this generator to run the A/C on desert camping trips. I installed a Micro Air EasyStart 364 onto an older Coleman Mach 3 unit. The A/C starts easily on the ECO setting, and runs the A/C at around 1/2 load on the generator. For testing, once the A/C was running, I was able to start the microwave and it worked without complaint. I did not test the voltage reading for accuracy, but it corresponded with the meter inside the trailer, and even under load, the voltage stayed about 120-122 volts. Although this unit does make a bit more noise under load, it is definitely nowhere near a 3600rpm generator. Inside, with the A/C on, the generator was barely perceptible. With the A/C off, the engine idled down and is rather quiet when not under load. I am very pleased with this generator.
