Perfect for Texas Power grid backup.

After careful consideration and thorough research, I decided on this inverter, and I'm so glad I did. Once unpacked and set up, it started right away. It's one of the quietest generators I've ever owned of this size. With hurricane season upon us, I should be able to keep almost everything in the house running at a quarter of the cost.

Very quiet

Bought almost a month ago but finally got it fired up today. Hooked up propane and it initially started but died. Started easily on 2nd attempt. I was amazed at how quiet it ran. Albeit with no load. Oil funnel was a little different. Had threads on it like it would screw in but did not. Wish there was an easier way to tell if it was full other than reinserting the dip stick and testing.

IGen 11000TFc

I just purchased this generator, and have only unpacked it. I must say the packaging was top drawer. Once I get it assembled, which shouldn't take long, and break it in, I'll complete an honest review. Love the many features this unit has to offer. Right now, I can only choose 4 stars because I have not run this equipment.

Very Quiet - Well built and easy to assemble -

Although I only recently purchased this dual-fuel inverter generator, I found it easy to assemble, easy to add the oil, and much quieter than my 10k gas generator when running. This inverter generator is VERY heavy, although once the wheels, feet, and handle are installed, an average person can move it around on flat ground. One additional note for the new owner - the removable door for adding/checking oil and connecting to the battery takes some considerable pulling to open - although there is a twist lock, there are also several pinch clips holding it on - don't be afraid to give it a good tug.

Hands Down, The One To Have

I researched generators and inverters for 2 months. I had a very tight set of requirements: output, operation, fuels, sound level, bang for my buck and a lot of happy owners. I looked different websites and sources. The result: Westinghouse was always in the top three. Choosing this Westinghouse inverter was the best solution for my needs.

It checks all the important boxes for me!

I chose this one because 1) it is an inverter generator, safer for electronics; 2) is more quiet than most generators; 3) it uses either gasoline or LP gas; 4) it has 9000 running watts and 11000 peak watts; more than others at the same price; 5) it has a true 50 watt 14-50 NEMA output (not just 30 amp like many) that I will use to back-feed my electrical panel; 6) it has electric and remote start; 7) The sale price was $400 less than many other models with similar features; 8) It includes a very thorough owners manual and tools for attaching the wheels and handle. It also includes motor oil and funnel. So far, I'm very pleased.

Nice Generator

East to assemble out of the box. This generator came with all the tools you need to get it ready as well as tools needed for future preventative maintenance in the future. I like how they considered changing oil and draining fuel. Would recommend if you are looking for a portable generator for home emergency use or RVing.

Good Quality to start and very quiet

I only just received this this generator and have done some light break-in with it at this point and testing all the functionality. The build quality is very good and the packaging was great. I have used gas generators for years and this is my first inverter and tri-fuel generator. Looking forward to the use of propane and not having to shuttle gas all the time. Really impressed with how quiet this generator is. I could literally stand within a few feet and have a normal conversation. Time will tell, but I specifically ordered this to charge my Anker Solix F3800s during an extended power outage. The F3800s need clean power which this generator has at <3% THD.

Great back-up power solution...

I purchased this generator to run my whole house when the power is out. I installed a 50A generator inlet box on the side of my home so that I could easily connect a generator when the lights go out. This generator was exactly what I wanted. It puts out enough power to run my entire house and it's very quiet and fuel efficient. I should mention that it puts out 240V, which was important to me since some of my major appliances require 240V. Almost all smaller generators only put out 120V, which is fine for many things, but not everything. The only concern I have about the generator is that it is quite heavy. However, in comparing other generator options that could meet my needs this model seemed to be the lightest, which was a plus for me. One small positive surprise I encountered upon open the shipping box was that the generator wheels had ball bearing axle inserts. Based on my last generator, from another brand, I was expecting just plain generic plastic wheels. Though this is could be considered a small matter, it inspired in me a sense of confidence and quality in this generator.

Gotta love the remote start

Super easy to assemble and get the unit up and running. I've already had the unit running for 6-7 and working great. The electric start works every time and having the remote super great. After looking at several other units I decided on this one and I'm glad I did.
