fantastic generator

Bought this to powwer the house and central AC in a power outage. I am in Tampa and almost yearly we are without power for up to a week due to hurricanes and sometimes more often than that. I did install a soft start on my central air and with this generator I can run my whole house. It is amazingly quiet as well. I have only run it with poropane thus far and it starts right up every time. It is also extremely quick and easy to open the covers to check the oil or disconnect and reconnect the battery for storage. They seem to have thought of everything. I am super pleased with my purchase and newfound piece of mind.

Powerful and quiet generator

This generator runs smoothly and quietly. It was very easy to assemble with two people and the push-button start with autochoke is awesome. The 10w/30 oil that came with it is not rated for cold climate and must be replaced with 5w/30. The engine is large so pull-starting was far from easy, but a strong adult can do it. The battery is undersized, so be prepared to find an outlet nearby to charge the battery so you can use the electric start. If the battery is charged, this generator fires up immediately and starts producing very good power. Enough power to run all of our appliances, including our well pump, and charge our large 48v battery bank. Very happy with this Inverter Generator!

Great inverter for house backup

This is a perfect inverter for house power backup. The dual fuel option is great! I added a line to connect to my 500 gallon propane tank so as to not have to worry about fuel during an outage. Being the inverter type, the unit is quite and only ramps up when it's needed. Will power everything I need to run!

Great Value

I had another brand generator before. It was loud. A friend pulled out his Westinghouse inverter generator and it was supper quiet and had much more features. The cost was another benefit I've used this generator twice now, and I like the dual fuel system and how quiet it is. This is a well built machine, it will be in this family for many years to come.

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.

Got this for my 50amp Fifth Wheel as backup power.

The unit is new, and I have only assembled it and put oil in it. I started on Propane which was very easy to do. The on-board battery was charged, and the unit came with oil and a custom-made oil fill funnel/tube. This made getting oil in the unit very easy with no mess. It started right up and was very quiet. The only thing that was wrong with the system was the small remote starter control would not work I replace the battery, and it was fine. Overall I am happy with this unit plan on using it in 2 weeks while dry camping with the camper

Great generator upgrade

I bought this unit to replace an older and smaller, dual fuel conventional generator. I wanted more capacity, clean power, lower noise and the ability to run on propane from my 500 gallon tank. I was extremely impressed by the packaging when I initially un-boxed it. Absolutely everything needed to get it up and running was included, including the necessary wrenches to install the feet, handle and wheels, a spark plug wrench, battery trickle charger, and the initial quart of oil. There is a full printed manual, parts list and maintenance guide, all written in clear and easily understandable language. A job well done!! The generator itself started easily and ran without issue for the full break-in period. It is very quiet compared to the generator it is replacing. Certainly louder than some small inverters that I have seen, but still very quiet for a generator of it's capacity. Controls are well laid out and easy to understand. Having both the push button and remote start features with automatic choke control is awesome. While it is too new to have any valid comment on longevity and durability, the unit appears to be very robustly constructed. So far, very satisfied with this purchase.

Very Quiet generator

When my 8 y.o. Generac 15,000 KW gen with about 30 hours died right in the middle of a 4 day power loss, I decided to try a different brand. I searched the web and when I saw this 11,000 kw w/ inverter I decided to try it. Igot it all set up and when I started it, I could NOT believe how quiet it is. I have not had to use it yet, but feel it will do a good job. So far I love it.

Great product

Product is great. Just unboxed and tried starting it today, too early to tell on longevity. Good manual instructions, but a few details left in that didn't apply to this model. Quality seems good except for the plastic dipstick and transporting handle that I wish were metal.
