Westinghouse 5000 Peak Watt Super Quiet Dual Fuel Portable Inverter Generator, Remote Electric Start, Gas & Propane Powered, RV Ready, CO Sensor, Parallel Capable

This generator is awesome. It’s got a remote start key, push start, and a pull start. It runs off propane or gas which is convenient. It’s one of the quietest gas gens I have heard. It started on the push button the first time I started it. It has two handles to carry it from the top. So it’s easy to take off my truck bed. It’s fairly light. I’m 62 and I can lift it up and down from my truck bed. It also comes with wheels and has a pull out handle to roll it around. The value for what you get is excellent. Westinghouse makes it super easy on the operator.I would definitely recommend this generator to anyone who is in the market for something portable & easy to use!

The generator works like a charm right out of the box. You only need to connect the battery (not difficult but very tight quarters) and fill in the oil included in the shipment (so far the only drawback I could find: very impractical, almost impossible to avoid overfilling and spilling oil. Clearly not well designed). Otherwise the iGen5000DFc is quite impressive, especially for the price point of under $800): Started up the very first attempt, very quiet for a generator (obviously you can hear it but the noise is quite moderate), plenty of power, and easy to manoeuver with the collapsible handle. So far a solid investment.

Box arrived damaged and unsealed. No damage to product. Set up was quick with oil, battery, and propane accessories included. Once everything in place, the inverter started right up with the push button start. I let it run with a variable load for the engine to set in. Ran flawlessly and quiet! Shutdown was just as easy and it was easy to maneuver/pull with the two silver handles on top and the the reinforced "cooler-like" retractable pull handle. Seems to be a great value.

We haven't tried to run it for long since we haven't been out camping yet so we only started it to see if it runs and how loud it is. Pretty quiet for the size and power of it. Love the remote control option which will come in handy when out in the cold. It is quite heavy but has a sturdy handle you can extend out for pulling it in place. Tires are somewhat bigger so it should be able to push over rougher terrain. Only 4 stars due to the little amount of time we have it and haven't had a chance to try it on location as of yet.

Many features included make it easy to use in many different applications. Directions were very good and had no issues when trying to start it for the first time. One of the main features I was look for was an inverter that could use multiple fuels. The main intended use is for emergencies like after the loss of power after hurricanes. Another feature I like is that the unit is very quiet while running. I'm very happy with my purchase and recommend it if you are looking for an inverter.

I hate incomplete instructions but the instructions provided are very good, not perfect, but near perfect. It even has a sheet that has all the parts and the type of oil to use, etc. for easy reference. I attached the cables of the battery, filled with oil (with a great funnel that screws in to the spout), added a bit of gas and I was off and running. I did have to pair the remote with the generator but the directions were super clear and I had no issue. Just press a button and it starts, turn it off just as easy. I really like the display that provides a bunch of vital info (fuel level, output, etc.). There is an eco mode that will provide only as much power that is needed to what is hooked up in an effort to save gas.I love that it is so much more quiet than other generators. I can still hear it running outside but it is a mid-level hum. Moving it is super easy too. I pull out the handle on the bottom to extend and then roll it on two wheels. I love being able to use both propane and gas. I have two spare propane tanks on hand in case of outage, if my gas can is not full and switching can be done on the fly. Finally, I love the fuel efficiency. I can run it for a very long time on one full tank. They really have thought of everything in this generator.

Great quality item. started up on first try. The remote start is a game changer. It really is as quiet as advertised. I love the versatility of gas and propane fuel.Highly recommend.

This review is for initial impressions only since I just received the generator. The generator was packaged very well and included good documentation with a quick start guide. The generator has a nice fit and finish. After adding oil and connecting the battery the unit started immediately and ran smoothy and very quietly. I applied various loads in both eco and normal mode and the generator responded nicely maintaining a steady voltage while remaining reasonably quiet. This generator has some weight to it, so I'll probably get some ramps to aide with loading it into and out of the pickup truck.
