Great first use after quirky set-up

Just a few days after receiving the iGen5000c, our power went out. Jumping ahead, the unit started right up, worked flawlessly, and was blessedly quiet (our old generator sounded like a truck using compression brakes). However, the preparation was not free of annoyances. Dutifully adhering to the Quick Start Guide > Before Starting instructions, I attempted to "Remove the engine service cover to access the oil dipstick." After spending quite a while trying to get the cover off (and failing), I discovered the small oil dipstick access panel on the other side of the generator. How did Westinghouse make such an obvious mistake in the documentation? Anyway, I used the provided funnel to fill the oil through the dipstick hole. I observed the "Do not overfill" caution, which I now interpret to mean "keep pouring in the oil until you start to wonder if it's too much. Then unscrew the funnel. If oil doesn't gush out of the dipstick hole, reinsert the funnel and pour some more in. Otherwise, stop filling and wipe up the mess." The Quick Start Guide omitted any mention of attaching the battery cable; that useful advice was found on a little yellow tag. I struggled to attach the battery cable, because the clip was way too tight. I doubt I'll be able to detach the wires without pliers (or wire clippers). When we lost our power in a windstorm, I filled the gas and started the generator. It fired right up, and worked perfectly. Hopefully it will continue to do so...
I would recommend this to a friend!

This looks like a good machine, but I haven't started it yet. Seems silly to request a review while registering the product.

Great All around iGen5000C Generator

I have Big Camper that’s 50amp. When downsizing my camping trips I recently bought a tent. Needed a quiet generator for our National Forest, but also this model is quiet (52db) enough, but you can parallel another compatible generator and still run my large 50 amp camper. The iGen5000C Is quite enough to run with my small tenting needs but also my Big camper. When I’m out away from camping or tenting, the remote control comes in handy for my wife to run when I’m not there. Also, the computer display comes in handy when it’s about getting dark and whatever load that you put on at that particular time, it will tell you the range running time for that amount of gas and load you have! The display also shows our meter for servicing, and the left side has a bar graph of level of gas. She was in the house a few minutes ago. Wife and I are Happier Campers :)

Great Features! Quiet, Easy to Use

I bought this for my small business, it has great feature - my favorite part is the LCD screen for the amount of gas is in the generator. Previous generator had a toggle level under some plexi glass, but when that glass was dirty, it was hard to tell if it was filled or not. This is a much better way of telling.

quiet travel trailer etc. power

great value inverter generator! The iGen5000 will power my entire 30amp travel trailer. the 3+ gallon fuel tank will run easily through the night if needed. the remote is a wonderful option. To be able to turn the generator on and off from the remote adds a level of comfort and convenience. you can watch tv before falling asleep at night and just hit the button on the remote is much easier than getting up and going outside to turn it off. need power for 2 min to microwave lunch no need to go outside twice just hit the on button, microwave, and hit the off button!
