Powerful, Quiet, & Ready Out Of The Box

I own several generators for my business. This is the most powerful and the quietest generator I own. Out of the box, they provide you with every tool needed to assemble. You only have to put on the handle, 2 wheels, and bumper stops. They are very easy to assemble, less than 5 minutes, plus the tools they provide are actually good tools to use in the future. Then the kicker is, they provide you with the oil and funnel to fill up the unit. So many generators you have to connect the battery in a painful way. This is a simple disconnect plug. 100 stars for out of the box assembly.

Great so far

I recently bought this because it is the most powerful inverter generator available. It was easy to set up and move, started with the first push of a button, and runs quieter than our old generator. During six hours of break-in it ran our whole house including the oven and microwave using the 30 amp circuit. It appears to be very fuel efficient, but no real test has been conducted yet.

High output inverter with great features

This high output portable generator/inverter was just what I needed to set up a whole house backup power system for a 100 amp service panel with an automatic transfer switch. The total cost was one third the quoted price of a big name whole house system. The big name system also required an expensive service contract to validate their extended warranty coverage. The iGen came delivered on a pallet in a very sturdy box with absolutely no damage. The unpacking and setup documentation was first rate and very accurately matched the unit which made it easy to follow. Everything you need for setup is included, the hardware was of very good quality, and even the wrenches and oil were included. After adding fuel, the unit started and ran with no issues. All displays and switches worked flawlessly and were easy to understand. The unit is quieter with a light load than I suspected it would be, which is a pleasant surprise. Thank you Westinghouse for building a quality product.

Great Build Quality

Just put this together, the legs, wheels, and handle, I was amazed that everything needed for assembly was included, wrenches, oil, and even a funnel was provided. Unit started up and is quiet for its size. I recommend this unit and would buy again.

It read a lot and got this one.

I have run it for about 3 hours to break it in. Have 2 more to go. I tried the ECO which is to slow the rpm, but it has e zero effect! This is not good. While I was running it I plugged in a 120-vote box window fan to blow any fumes away and make a bit of a load. But after 30 minutes the fan stopped, I moved the plug to the wall outlet, but still no run. I got another 120 Vote Box fan and plugged it in, 90 minutes later it also stopped! Moved the plug to the wall nothing! Now I am concerned. So, now I am waiting for a call back from Westinghouse.

Absolutely no problems.

I borrowed one of these from a friend to run my house after an ice storm. After the second day of use, I liked it so much I placed an order for myself. Absolutely outstanding performance. Ran my entire house (gas furnace and water heater) and was still able to run the electric dryer if need be. Great Product!

powerhouse genset

This generator has all the features that we were looking for. It is replacing a 3k watt unit that we have used during outages. The 240V output and load capacity is just what we needed to run our geothermal unit and well pump as well as some lower demand items such as fridges and freezers. The inverter provides the clean juice that our both geo and network equipment requires. Granted the output wont run everything in our house but it comes close. The alternative of a permanent whole house gennie was just not even a thought when all things are considered. If you are looking for clean output to run your finicky HVAC or computer eqpmt look no further if 11k will cover your needs.

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.

Robust output backed by a trusted brand

This inverter generator was the largest output I could find and being a Westinghouse product, I believed the quality would be better than little known or unknown internet brands. Upon unboxing, the product exceeded my expectations. The quality of parts and manufacturing craftsmanship appears to be top notch. Packaging was more than adequate to protect the product in transit. The Quick Start Guide and User Manual documentation are well written and detailed well. I haven't been able to use the inverter yet except for initial start up and testing. All went well. Can't wait for the power to go out to put this to use :) . Highly recommend buying this generator if you require the high wattage output it provides.

Awesome Generator

Houston was hit with Hurricane Beryl and I needed a bigger generator. This generator was so easy to operate and large to power almost my whole house (except HVAC). The plastic cover with no tool needed to removed was so convenience. I can wait to make more use of it on the next power outage.
