Great features

Would Recommend

I bought the iGen5000c a week ago. Manual was easy to follow. After following the instructions it started right away. This was an upgrade for me from a Honda with fuel gauge. The same price as what we paid for our Honda we get much better features. Fuel gauge, which is important. Along with bigger fuel tank, electric start, and remote. Love the pullhandle

Would Recommend

I received this product in November 2024 and it fired right up out of the box after putting oil and gas in. Very quiet and when switched to Eco mode it is quieter! Very nice and can't wait to power the RV!

Not 30 amp RV Ready

Would Not Recommend

This generator stopped working after 6 uses. Westinghouse will not warranty they said they googled it and I overloaded the inverter module on the generator with my 30 amp RV 15000 BTU which is on a 15 amp breaker. I did a video and shared it with them, and on start up amps only went to 27.6 for less than a second then dropped to 10.8 amps while using a 3500 watt Briggs & Stratton generator That I normally use with my RV. I also provided them with correct info from the A/C manufacture. This is wh...

Right generator after the storm

Would Recommend

Bought the generator after Helene hit NC. Easy to set up and operate, much quieter than I expected, and provided adequate power for what I needed. Not to heavy and small enough to reasonably store until the next storm either in Fl or NC.

Fuel Capacity

Would Recommend

I bought this a little over a month ago, for the price of the unit given the fuel capacity and output there wasn't a better one out there in the inverter/ generator market! This thing runs great, does what I need it to, and comes with everything to get you going right out of the box!

Easy set up, storage is more challenging

I am not very proficient with engines this is my first generator, so maintenance and storage is a bit challenging for me. But it started right up, It’s quiet and pretty powerful.
