General review

Recently purchased and generator appears ti be a great value. Started up with no problems and ran well. Only issue is the placement of the engine oil drain plug. Not sure how to drain the oil since there is a cover under the engine that will be completely flooded with oil. Manual shows a tube extending out from the drain but does not provide any instruction on how it is used and is not included with the generator.

Quiet and powerful

I'm using this for a mobile food trailer and so far it has worked very well. It's surprisingly quiet, too, which is ideal for using at events and festivals. So far so good! I'll update this review if anything goes awry, but hopefully nothing will (for a long time).

Great Inverter Generator

I live in Florida and wanted to be more prepared for potential weather threats (hurricanes). Upgraded from smaller non-inverter generator and installed a 50 amp power inlet box with an interlock on the main breaker so I no longer have to run extension cords for everything. Definitely a game changer! Great features on this generator and competitive price.

Easy to use with great features!

I purchased this inverter generator earlier this month in preparation for power outages during hurricane season. I spent several weeks researching different models before deciding on the Westinghouse iGen11000DFc. I feel that at this price point, there isn't a better inverter generator on the market with this level of power and features. So far I have been very pleased with how easy the setup was. In spite of it's size, this generator was pretty easy to move around once the wheels and pull handle are installed.

So far so good

I'm on hour 10 of break-in, so I've only run it up to 2,300 watts. Seems solid so far. The only issue is that the starter stays engaged around 5 seconds after the engine turns over. It's not enough of an issue for me to deal with any sort of a claim, but it's an issue nonetheless.

Great features just what I was looking for

I bought this a month ago and just started breaking it in. When I tried to start it the battery was dead. When I tried to use the pull starter the handle cam off with the first pull. When I open the box there was no battery charger included with the inverter, so I'll have to find one. I got it started and it runs fine.

Quality Quality Quality

Talk about quality! The tools provided for simple wheel and handle installation are good enough for my toolbox! I purchased the iGEN11000 Inverter Generator and am very please with the quality fittings, electronics and everything you need to power up and get going when the lights go out.

AS GOOD AS IT GETS

I bought this for mainly hurricane. It had the power level, clean power, low noise level and it will run on propane. I had the propane company install a line from my big tank this a quick disconnect. I had 10 hours on it (5hr break in, 5hr total for small jobs). It runs great, it has been tested on the house and it will run my 5 ton AC unit, sump pump, all the refrigerators and one big freezer. I will keep this until Im to old to move it around then get a permanent installed standby generator.

iGen11000DFc

This is my second Westinghouse iGen. The iGen 5000 works well with my 30amp RV, but I now have one with 2 AC units and the iGen11000 can handle both. The only issue I had with the 5000 was the difficulty reaching the oil drain nut through the small panel. And as far as the 11000, it surprises me it does not have an oil filter. I have not had to change the oil yet as I have not even run it through the break in period. I hope it is much more accessible due to the entire side panel being easily removed.

Just purchased this generator/inverter today

Just picked up this unit. I was amazed on the packaging. Very well thought out. Very simple to install the necessary parts. I'm running propane primarily. Once I added the oil and turned the motor over several times, the motor started up and the quietness has shocked me. It being a large unit and all. My purchase of this unit is for my 40' 50 amp travel trailer when I'm off the grid.
