Assembled generator and tried to start it. No go. Pulled spark plug and it was wet (flooded). Put plug back I. And tried again. No go. Opened other side of gen and held chock open and pushed start and it fired up. Tried next day and it did same thing. Seems auto chock is flooding the engine every time.

Features I wanted (prioritized in order), which I found on this iGen11000DFc generator: An "inverter" generator (to get THD or Total Harmonic Distortion under 3%) A "Dual Fuel" generator (to run either Propane or Gasoline) An electric start (from a battery) with "recoil" or manual start option Size: Something close to 10,000 watts (or 10KW) to easily handle any one circuit in our home (hot water heater, electric range, electric clothes dryer, etc.) Transfer switch ready (so I can "plug the house into it") Able to deliver 240 Volt circuits (required to be able to "plug the house into it") Bonus feature: The "c" in the model name for Westinghouse indicates it has a carbon monoxide shutoff feature - to shut down if carbon monoxide levels from the exhaust get dangerous around it. Packaging was great. Assembly was easy. Adding oil was made easy with supplied funnel, etc. Started it up yesterday (on propane) - took two tries to get it to start. The second try, it started but ran very rough, misfiring regularly. Let it do that for a minute or two, then shut it off. Started it again and it started right up and ran smooth. I proceeded to test it over the next 80 minutes, hooked it to our home with a 50 amp cord, and tried various circuits in the home including a heat pump, fridge, freezer, computers with monitors, TV, etc. - all worked fine. Ran the house on it for a while. My wife forgot it was on and started the electric dryer even. No issues whatsoever. The generator handled them all just fine and behaved like it was just idling to do it - it never seemed to strain or struggle. I then disconnected it from the house and started it multiple times, different ways, with the key fob, even pulling the cord (which took two pulls to start it). Every time it seemed to work just great! Downside that I saw only after reviewing the manual in detail - it says that it's not good at cold temps with the included oil (cold meaning below 23 degrees F). I want this for winter in Maine. So, I plan to change the oil out to the recommended 5W-30 synthetic oil for cold temps sometime after the burn in period - but the manual says to use the included oil until the generator is used sufficient to get it through a normal motor burn in of about 5 hours (as I understand it from reviewing the manual). Would I recommend - "yes". Bonus - it was quieter than I expected it to be. That's why my wife forgot it was even running and started the dryer in our home - she didn't even notice it was still on from inside our well-insulated home.

Purchased this generator (iGen111000DFc) the end of June 2024. I can only comment on pre-starting items. 5-stars since I can't fault it for things I haven't tested as yet. Packaging: very good+ Box was in very good condition. Only minor indents from the plastic strapping (expected). Shipped on a small pallet for easier transport/handling. Unboxed Condition: very good + It looked brand new, as it should. No dents, scratches or any other apparent defects in packaging or transport. Other items; starting, running, dual fuel options, ease of use, reliability, etc. I will attempt to update after I have had additional experience with the generator. I'm hoping the performance is matched by the packaging/appearance!

Assembly went smoothly and features were clearly described, first when previewing the manual online and then referencing the hardcopy one included in the box. Upon trial startup, the generator ran surprisingly more quietly than our gas-powered leaf blower! We rarely have power outages during the winter months. But in the summer, when we have wind and rainstorms, and living in a rural area thick with many old trees growing along our country roads, we have frequent outages lasting 2-3 days when those trees/limbs fall on the power wires! We believe this generator will be most beneficial and appreciated when we only need to connect a few key electrical items (water pump, temporary AC window unit, refrigerator, TV, lamp, etc.) during those power outages. But this unit will handle our whole-house power needs, if we so desire.

When I unpacked this yesterday, the plastic bag that it was in had quite a bit of oil inside. After removing the bag, found that the cap on the oil drain hose was never secured. There was oil on the side cover, rear cover, and the shield on the bottom. I spent about 2 hours, mostly on removing all of the panels so I could clean them, along with wiping down the frame and other components. I just ran it for the first time and was extremely happy with how quiet it was. Enclosed is a picture of the shipping bag and the bottom pan.

I got this to use with my camper for now I am starting it today for the first time the Battery is Dead the propane adapter is not working it will not let gas to generator something wrong with it I am in the process of getting with Westinghouse to see what they will do .I will leave more latter on this unit so far I can't get to start with Battery

So far only had it for a week but very quiet & easy to use. Size, run time everything so far is great.

put oil in hooked up battery used propane started righe away . only had it for a few days so far so good

I bought this product for the noise ratio and the fact it's Tri fuel. It has not disappointed…… I'm very happy, it's a good unit!

Went from a Igen5000dfc to this model for the 50amp. Was able to power our large travel trailers two A/C units.
