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.

Peace of Mind Restored

The generator started right up on the first try. Went through the “break in” period as recommended without any issues. I am very pleased with this unit. Ready for the hurricanes that seem to be happening in Florida these days. Thank you Westinghouse!

Westinghouse Generator

This generator is the best out of 3 I have owned in my life . The duel fuel is such a bonus with out a doubt . Its easy to run and use as well as the small room it takes up for all it does. I did a lot of research and for the price it does the same as other generators do far a much greater price. Not to mention Westinghouse has been around since 1886 .

Shipped with very little to do to get it operating

I bought this to use for home backup power and to run some power tools when working outdoors. A test run for home backup and it powered the circuits I ran to a transfer switch and so far there have not been and issues with operating a table saw and compound miter saw allowing me to setup shop where power isn't available. Push button start is a bonus.

Very happy

Received my igen11000 inverter generator couple weeks ago final got to test and break in, It runs everything in my house just on the 30 amp. Having a 50 amp receptacle installed. I have also ran gas as well as propane with no problem switching them over. I spent weeks researching The auto start is great. And my led lights work perfect no flickering like with my old generator The noise is great have it 20 feet from house still can hear, but my wife and I don't have to yell, raise volume on TV and pets are not freaking out. It is a good investment for living in florida where you don't know when power will go out My wife and I are very happy we got one and it works awesome

A true power house

I recently bought this to be prepared for any upcoming power outages. My home is wired with a 50-amp plug, so all I needed to purchase was the correct power cord. I went ahead and did a test run—after turning on all the main outlets and lighting, including two fridges and a freezer, I was only at around 25% power draw. I even tested running the water heater with the well pump, and it only jumped up to about 70%. The Eco mode seems to work as advertised, and the generator adjusts its power output based on the load draw. Having used a traditional generator with extension cords before, this setup is much more efficient and runs significantly quieter. I plan to use propane primarily to avoid concerns about gas buildup in the system, especially since ethanol-free gas isn’t easy to find. Overall, I think the price is appropriate for the features and the clean energy it provides for my home.

Lots of features

I bought this to power my house, I haven't had to use yet, but seems to be everything I will need, tested it out on some small tools, runs really quiet and I love the dual fuel, I plan to use it on propane so I will never have to worry about the gas messing with the carburetor

iGEN11000DFc INVENTOR (Big Blue)

Wanted a big whole house/emergency power inventor generator with low THD and this fit the bill. Doing the initial 5 hr break in now. For a big generator its pretty quiet, you can carry on a conversation near it and still be heard. Oil spigot will not thread into oil pan, small annoyance. Tires are on the small side, maybe an issue moving across yard or bare ground. Overall I think this will be a great emergency back up generator with enough power to run my whole house. Nickname = Big Blue.

Excellent purchase

I just bought this igen11000DFc inverter generator. I'm very impressed with the quality. Came with everything needed to get it assembled and up and running. I paired the remote start to it and it fired up first shot. Ran it for 2 hours today. I need 3 more hours to complete break in. I was kind of surprised by the quietness of it. I thought it would be a little bit louder so that's a plus. I ran it on has today, next time I'll try propane. Overall great purchase and so far I'm very satisfied!

Very Impressed with iGen11000DFc

We have lived off grid for over 20 years and I have had multiple generators, but this is the best one so far. From the tools that come with it that are heavy duty, to the great design (oil drain tube, oil funnel, heavy duty legs and wheels and locking folding handle), to how quiet it run compare to other gen sets. It also runs well and our light do not flicker like all of our other gen sets. This was the 1st inverter gen set. We also have setup an auto gen start that works with our older Westinghouse generator (5300DF) from our inverter using the ATS plug and it works with the iGen11000DFc. The previous Westinghouse generator (5300DF) we got in 2020 and it was a lot smaller and did not run all of our stuff. The remote works at a greater range than the previous Westinghouse generator remote. We are using it on propane and have not tested it on gas yet. It is super quiet!! Not sure how much propane it uses since we only used it to pull water from our well and run the house only once.
