I just purchased this unit and so impressed with the features and quality. It started up with no issues right out of the box. So far I've run it with propane and natural gas and it's very easy to switch over to each fuel type. This inverter / generator model is extremely quite compared to my other gas generator and I love the handle that extends out which makes it easy for rolling and storage.

I bought this inverter generator to replace an older generator that did not have inverter technology. I also like the tri-fuel flexibility. So far I have been using the generator only on propane. The first time I turned on the generator I used the key fob and the generator started right away. I am impressed with how quiet the generator is when running. My home is in a residential neighborhood and the houses are close together so a wanted quiet running generator. The folding handle and wheels makes it easy to move around and the compact size makes it easy to store in my garage. I had spent many hours researching various inverter generators and a this one checked all the boxes for me.

After much reading I decided to purchase iGen8200TFc. I'm using this for home emergencies and my travel trailer This was easy to setup, no assembly, I followed the startup and break in period in the manual. The generator started right up, I ran it 30 minutes before I plugged anything in and its quiet, I've tested the 50amp, 30amp and I tested plugging my battery backup system for my computers and it didn't have any issues with the iGen, our other generator would trip the battery backups iGen doesn't wife happy that's all that counts.

I bought this generator after deliberating long and hard. It was a tough purchase because it is a lot of money for something just used in the event of a hurricane. That said, so far I am pretty impressed, but there are a couple of items that should be brought up. The generator is built quite nice. It is definitely VERY heavy, but I feel like there was some thought and effort on the product. I like the covers on each side and how they latch. I really like how the oil drain was connected to a hose, as well as the carb gas drain (the gas drain was particularly nice). I really like all of the information provided on the panel, including the fuel level which is really nice. Some of the things that were disappointing considering the positives: 1. There is an oil filter on this unit. It is in the exact same place as the DFc model however there is some sort of big cylinder directly in the way in front of it. I am not sure what this is, but the DFc doesn't seem to have it from the videos I have seen, so I assume it has to do with the Natural Gas part of the unit. It is a little bit of a pain to remove as it requires a 10mm wrench and has limited movement. On such a well thought out generator, this seems to be a rushed item and makes the access to the filter a bit inconvenient. 2. This generator wasn't cheap but came with quite a bit of stuff. The one thing that it didn't come with that I was disappointed about was a cover. This was a HUGE miss. I plan on storing this in my garage and I am going to have to buy my own cover now. 3. It would be nice if the dipstick was magnetic to help keep the engine oil as clean as possible 4. The eco mode barely changes the idle speed at all (it may not even change it at all). I don't know what this switch does at this point as I expected a serious reduction in RPMs to help save gas (I was testing this with no load at all). It seems to be a very good generator. I just finished my 5 hour break-in period and changed the oil. Despite the disappointments above, I am hoping that overall it will prove itself to be a great unit.

I bought this just a week before a random power outage and so glad I did. Connecting to a propane tank was safe and easy, and the push button start was fantastic. My whole house transfer switch was already done, so we had this backup power running in less than 10 minutes. The plastic housing is great as it protects the inner workings from other nearby things in my storage shed.

4-stars I have owned for 1 month. Need more time to evaluate Manual instructions are clear and concise Side panels removable for maintenance access Front panel controls and marking clearly identified Navigating website to find spare parts needs improvement. Gas filter was out of stock when I checked.

While we have not had to use this yet, it started right up on the trial run. It runs pretty quietly and is compact and relatively easy to move. Did not give 5 stars as this was the 2nd one we ordered that came with bent axels and broken plastic on the wheels. Needs better packing!

Just bought it and it starts fine on gas but not propane. Propane comes out of the hose if disconnected from generator. Tried 2 different propane tanks, same result. Starts briefly with a different regulator but stops after a second. After posting this review I will be submitting a service request to see if they can help. It's a nice generator so I would recommend it (even more so after it's fixed!)

The initial setup was straightforward. I added the oil and fuel and connected the internal battery. The generator fired up immediately and I ran it for about 10 minutes. It is much quieter than I imagined it would be. I let it cool down and rolled it into my garage. I noticed a slight odor of gasoline but I figured that I may had spilled some when filling it and got it on the soles of my shoes. This morning, I go into the garage and the gasoline smell is overpowering. I don't see any puddles or drips from the generator. The fuel is fresh. If I can get this resolved, I'll edit this review or write a new one.

I bought this generator 3 months ago and am generally pleased with it. Part of the sales pitch at the time was that I would receive a free cover. That has never happened in spite of repeated requests, all of which remain ignored and unanswered by Westinghouse ! I cannot recommend doing business with this company !
