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.
I purchased this generator after camping with a friend during a deer hunting trip. The convenience of the remote start is great. This generator is very quiet as well. I am taking this model on my deer hunting trip in Capitan, NM.
This inverter is just what I needed, ax I'm just starting my journey to going to minimum grid to hopefully off grid. This is my backup to my backup. It provides me the power I need on cloudy days to power my solar power stations. I only wish it had an additional outlet.
I’m 5 running hours in and really liking this generator. The digital sensor panel is great and the inverter really delivers on reduced overall weight and noise. My only complaint is the lack of clear instructions in the manual on using a very level surface to avoid tripping the low oil sensor. I was in an area close to level the first time i used it and almost gave up after a support call and hour of troubleshooting. They eventually sent an email suggesting a level surface.
I spent a lot of time researching what Brand of generator to get and I landed on Westinghouse and wanted to get at least a 5000 watt model. I tested out my new iGen5000c and it is absolutely amazing and is super quiet. I couldn’t have asked for a better product!
