Ratings & Reviews for Westinghouse iGen5000DFcv Recoil Start 5000 Starting / 3901 Running Watt Gasoline, Liquid propane Dual Fuel Inverter Generator

Quiet & convenient

Just opened this up to prepare for an Ice storm & there was no assembly required, just add oil & hook up to propane tank. Took a few minutes to get it cranked up the first time, but it's quieter than expected.

Perfect!

All the best features and so easy to use. Perfect for camping!

Great buy, above what I expected

Can't say enogh about this generators, it's all that I wanted and the comfort of knowing that I have extra power above expectation, great buy.

Relatively Quiet

Fired up easily on propane. Docked a star for the oil filling process. The included funnel retains oil as the generator's case forces the funnel to be held somewhat flat.

Did not last as long as i hoped

Please this product 7/6/25. It was used daily as a power source for a small trailer. It started to backfire. Cleaned the filters, cleaned the spark plug, and the carburator. The generator restarted without backfiring. It worked for another week then would shut off if the load was added even though it wasn't anywhere near the full capacity. Now the generator with not start.

Great looking and compacted

This was a gift and to be honest I have not tried it out as of this writing. It looks and feels solid and weighs just about 104lbs with out fuel. I like the fact that it is duel power. It included a gas regulator and a 3ft. hook up hose. This unit came with a remote start fob. It can also be started with a push button on the unit or a pull cord. It also came with a small funnel, a plug in charger for the battery on the generator (the battery may not be charged) a bottle of oil. Check the oil lev...

Works as we thought it would

Just purchased and set it up today. Runs well and is not very loud.

Generator worth its money

It is a little heavier than I like but for the amount of power it is a minor detail.

Extremely Quite!

So happy with this machine! We use it every time we go to the desert in our RV! Having the option for gas and propane is amazing!

Easy to operate

I like the simple functions of this model - started on the second pull when I initially started it - I upgraded to this one from a WH2000IXLT to run my RV and so far, it's functioning as expected.

Great!

I bought this when I moved to an area surrounded by trees that always find a way to fall on power lines. I've already had to use it when the power went out for over 8 hours and it was pretty easy to use. Money well spent!

Great

Love this generator who works great the dual fuel is nice.

Just Great

Amazingly quiet. Love the dual fuel option. It's a champ.

Great Looking Generator

The generator looks absolutely amazing. Once I followed the initial instructions to fill it with the supplied oil and bought some gas for it, it started right up. Super quiet. I could not be happier with my purchase!

Real nice for the most part!

I bought this 2 months ago, and has held up really well with the exception of the pull string being fragile. Besides that, everything else is nice!

Confusing User Manual Instructions

Beware of User Manual instructions: I received my first generator and could not get it to operate properly. It would run on gasoline, but while running on gasoline any attempt to hook up propane hose would result in immediate shut down, and unit would not restart until propane hose was disconnected. Per instructions (Page 18) in User Manual, "generator can be switched while the engine is running." I filed a complaint with Westinghouse and they were very helpful: suggested faulty oil sensor sw...

Great product

Bought for our travel trailer. Plenty of power and very low noise

Great features very compact

What this a few weeks ago to support power outages that have become more frequent. And I'm so glad I did more than enough power to take care of refrigerators. And some ceiling fans

So far, so good

Today is the first time using my new generator, getting it prepped for our next trip. First the bad: 1. My generator came with a broken battery hold-down strap…brand new out of the box. Not a major issue, but also not perfect, which is why the 4-star rating. 2. There is a misalignment of the propane inlet with the front panel. 100% serviceable, but not perfect. Again, just not perfect. Good: Everything else seems great. Unpacking was fine, seems well built and put together. The includ...

Unpacked and Tested

Purchased iGen5000DFcv to run RV when boondocking. Have only had a chance to unpack and test unit. Generator is well put together. Unit setup easily. Tested with unit plugged into RV. Tested by turning loads on and off all the RV's loads on both gas and propane. Generator worked well and handled all the loads without hesitation. Look forward to using unit as we travel with our RV.
