Instructions were easy to follow. Started the first time. fits my needs of power for my camping trailer (AC+microwave+ small TV radio) and is really quiet compare to a generator.

The iGen5000c Portable Generator works great!

The Westinghouse iGen5000c Portable Generator works great!
I have used several other generators, all of which had to be started by pulling on the recoil handle.
This generator has an electric starter. One press of the button and it starts right up. What a dream! This senior greatly appreciates this convenience. And it can be done on the device, or with the remote. It can also be done with the recoil handle, should that ever be necessary.
The marketing materials indicate this is targeted at RV users. I don’t use an RV; I got this to use at home during extended power outages resulting from weather events, which are becoming more frequent.
It came with everything needed to get it up and running (including the oil), except for the fuel (of course). There were even all the tools one might need for maintenance.
The Westinghouse runs everything I need, including both refrigerators, with ease. One other that I have used had a lot trouble with the older refrigerator; essentially, it couldn’t handle it.
This one has a lot of headroom for starting up attached devices, and ample running power for everything I want to attach to it.
The manual is well written and illustrated, so everything one needs to know is quite clear.
The one small thing that I found missing from the documentation was the weight of the device. It would be nice to know the weight without fuel.
The manual also doesn’t say whether or not to screw in the dipstick when measuring the oil. I tried it both ways, and assumed that it would be OK if the level were in the acceptable range without screwing it in. (I am planning to contact support to see it this is true.)
I would recommend this to a friend!

Powerful quiet generator
on July 27, 2024
Posted by: Happycamper32
Bought this to operate my camper while boondocking. This will also allow us to utilize our camper in the event we lose power. Light weight and easy to use.
I do wish it had a fuel shut off valve to allow fuel to not sit in the carburetor after turning off.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice Generator!

I got this a month ago and got it all ready to go ,and turned the gas on and it started leaking gas onto my bench. On inspection, who ever put the clamp on the fuel line to the on off switch , tore the hose at the connection. I cut that section off and had enough hose left to reconnect and problem solved. Used it on our camper last weekend and it worked flawlessly, and quietly. Love it!!!
