Bought today, followed instructions and powered RV within 15 minutes. Now we see how long it lasts.

Worst generator ever! Bought one and it ran one day and broke down. Took to the repair center and they had the generator for 2 months and finally stated they could not repair it. Westinghouse had me ship that one back and sent another. Again, the first time we went to run it it ran for about a half hour and broke down. Unfortunately we were on a camping trip with our 2 dogs so we had to pay for a campground so we could run the air. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS GENERATOR!!!!! LOWES SHOULD BE ASHAMED...

Met and exceeded expectations.

Would Recommend

Bought this to take with us camping as well as an alternate backup for our house in case of a power outage. The machine is so much quieter than our prior generators, even ones that were CA approved. The machine seems sturdy and well made, and powered up with no problem. We did a test run with our camper running multiple units (A/C, microwave, lights, etc) and besides a slight “kick in” of power, it mellowed right out and purred the rest of the time. Extremely happy with our decision to go with t...

This generator worked great with a trailer with 15,000 BTU ac unit, 12VDC system, lights and receptacles. I read one review mentioning difficulty with the 15,0000 BTU AC, so I bought a soft starter kit gor the ac unit. No issues running the AC with the soft starter. This generator is decent with noise.

New Backup Generator Unpacked and Ready!

Would Recommend

My initial experience with the iGen5000DFc has been very positive. Unpacking was easy, adding oil was straightforward, the battery came charged, and the unit started right away. I am new to generators, but the instructions and manual were clear, and my pilot load test went smoothly. It gives me confidence that I am better prepared for an emergency. If you want to include the easy purchase experience, this is a safer version: My initial experience with the iGen5000DFc has been very positive. Se...

This seems to be an excellent portable generator so far. I love the retractable handle for moving it around, and the flexibility of duel fuel. The only minor flaws that I noticed was that the oil fill/dipstick is in a tight spot and somewhat difficult to access, as is the battery quick connect. Other than that, I can see this unit saving me plenty of headaches during the next inevitable power outage.
