Bought this unit right before the ice storms; intended for powering things in the house as well as for camping/tailgating. I lucked out and ordered right before the rush, so delivery was very fast and on time as advertised; I read several reviews where packaging can get mangled due to the weight, but this came with pristine packaging and was perfect. Unit was very easy to set up, all accessories were in the box as advertised. TIP: upon first start up, unit will take several attempts before the gas cycles through and all the residual oils in the engine burn off. I had to crank it up at least 6-7 times before it stayed lit and finally "took"; don't panic if it starts up for a few seconds, puffs out white smoke, then conks out for several cycles - keep starting it, it'll eventually stay lit then purr like a kitten. I love all the features and flexibility of this unit, more than checks off all my boxes. Luckily we didn't have an outage, but I tested it with a couple of space heaters (25 amps), a refrigerator (8.5 amps), and probably another 6 amps total of phones/laptops/internet modem and it didn't cough once, so A+ so far; the usage meter on it was also spot on indicating accurate amperage draw. Seemed to sip gas, and all 3 starting methods worked flawlessly (remote, push start, pull cord). NOT AS QUIET AS MANY SAY - it's not loud, but not quiet either; you would piss off many campers if you had this thing running all night. I'm going to add a silencer to it to quiet it down some more. Great unit so far, haven't put it thru the paces yet, but that's a TBD - will update this review if anything material changes as I put some hours on it. Price was great for what you get, and Westinghouse seems to have high reliability ratings, so fingers crossed this was a good purchase. Highly recommend. Update 2/6/26: Meant to mention in the first review - remote start is a nice-to-have, but kinda useless as you still have to be at the unit to turn the main power switch on/off before and after remote start/off. If you don't turn the switch off after shutting it down, you'll drain the on-board battery and it won't start (like a car). I am not sure if the pull cord will start it with a drained battery or not. Review: *Detailed Review* We wanted a generator to primarily support our cruiser boat (30A plug) while out on the ‘hook’ overnight aka not connected to shore power. We were MORE than impressed by the power and efficiency this unit has. We purchased the 4000, dual fuel, remote start and all I can say is WOW! USE: The remote start / stop is a game changer for our use. We keep it on our swim platform, 20 or so feet from our cabin interior. It simultaneously powers our boats aircon or heat, stovetop, TV, refrigerator, coffee pot, microwave, and all other boat features (lights, water pumps, etc) simultaneously SEE VIDEO. We can start it and stop it from the comfort of our bed without having to get up when it’s cooled down / heated up inside. In the video you can hear it in the background outside the cabin, but you can tell it is not too loud as we aren’t trying to talk loud over it running. UTILITY: The machine weighs in the 60# range if I remember correctly, which makes it very portable for my husband. For those of us less strong, it has a nice pullout handle feature, which enables it to be pulled or pushed around with ease. So far we have only used the gasoline fuel but wanted both gas + propane for any reason one or the other may be unavailable. I also wanted to mention the auto off CO detection feature we inadvertently found out about- while the unit was mounted and secured to our swim platform, we needed to move the boat slowly 10’ or so. As such, when we turned the boat off after the move, we realized that the unit was off. We surmised the exhaust from the boat, directly under the unit, was enough to engage the generators CO sensor and turn it off. And that was an incredible feature we did not know it possessed. This feature is obviously for if the generator itself produces then is stagnant of CO, a safety shut off feature. EFFICIENCY: While out on the hook, we can run it at normal (non efficiency mode) for 8 hours on and off a day, 3-4 days of the week and maybe only go through 2.5-3gallons of fuel. My most appreciative use was during hurricane Milton over this fall. While we had intended it for boat use, it came in handy when we went down to check on our other home. During the power outage, we had the house refrigerator, the lanai refrigerator, TV, many cell phones etc, all plugged in , for 14 solid hours and maybe burned through 5 gallons of gasoline on the efficient mode. As you can see, we are more than pleased with this Westinghouse unit and would recommend it. ## Features - 4000 Peak Watt Dual Fuel Inverter Generator with CO Sensor ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Westinghouse | | Model Number | iGen4000DFc | | Product Dimensions | 54.1 x 32 x 49.02 cm; 28.49 kg | | Color | ブルー | | Power Source | 燃料 | | Voltage | 120 Volts | | Wattage | 4000 W | | Laser Class | COセンサー | | Included Components | 発電機 | | Are Batteries Included | Yes | | Item Weight | 28.5 Kilograms | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Westinghouse - **Fuel Type:** Liquefied Petroleum Gas - **Power Source:** Fuel Powered - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Camping, Residential - **Wattage:** 4000 W ## Images ![iGen4000DFc Dual Fuel Portable Inverter Generator - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xXy+FvsOL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by B***N on January 27, 2026* This review is for the iGen4000DFc model with remote start.

(4000DFc) Package arrived early and in perfect condition. Very easy to figure out what needed to be done in order to get it going. I bought this particular generator for my travel trailer. The ability to run on propane was the deciding factor. No having to mess with having to carry gas cans and dealing with volatile fumes. Unboxed this unit added the oil that came with it, popped open the panel to gain access to the battery which is already installed. Just removed the protective covers from the wires and plugged them together. attached the supplied hose to the generator and propane bottle turned on the power switch located on the front panel pushed the start button and this little machine started right up. After running for a short time the green light lit up showing it was ready to have a load applied to it. I then shut it down and unhooked it from the LP tank and very easily carried it across the property to where the travel trailer is. Hooked it to the LP tank on trailer turn ed the power switch on and went inside the trailer with the key fob. Pressed the button on the fob and it started right up again remotely. could hardly hear it running. I the n went out and made sure the green ready light was on and plugged in the 30 amp service cord. Went inside and turned the A/C unit on and in no time at all the A/C was blowing cold without so much as a studder from the generator. I the n turned on the refrigerator and T.V. This little generator does everything I needed it to do. I didn't try the microwave with the A/C running but it would surprise me if it could not handle it. Did not want to put to much of a load on it before it was ran for awhile. Did not try it on gasoline. Very light weight and quiet for what it produces. Could not ask for more at this price. stows nicely beside the bed while in transit, no gas fumes. It does have a nice handle that slides out from the underside for moving it around on the wheels that come already installed on it. No assembly required. Unbox it add oil connect battery supply fuel (Gas or Propane) hit the start button. Good to go! Thanks Westinghouse perfect fit in every way for this application. The remote start feature is the icing on the cake! The price of this inverter/generator is very reasonable. After only running it for a short time I am unable know the fuel consumption but it does have a ECO mode that allows the generator to produce power to the receptacles at an idle. this allows you to charge your electronics with the USB ports located on the front panel and operate low amp devices without the generator coming off of idle. So I'm pretty sure this thing will run all the things I need it to at an idle except the A/C and microwave. ## Frequently Bought Together - Westinghouse 4000 Peak Watt Super Quiet Dual Fuel Portable Inverter Generator, Remote Electric Start, Gas & Propane Powered, RV Ready, CO Sensor, Parallel Capable - Larlansz Magnetic Oil Dipstick for SMALL Inverter Generators Compatible with Wen 55201 Yamaha Predator 2000 Westinghouse champion Ai power Generac pulsar - Rophor 30 Amp to 110 Adapter Generator Power Cord, 3 Prong 30 Amp to 15 Amp Generator Adapter, Nema TT-30P Male to 3X 5-20R Female with Lighted End, 1.5 FT --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/725474408-igen4000dfc-dual-fuel-portable-inverter-generator](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/725474408-igen4000dfc-dual-fuel-portable-inverter-generator) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
