AS GOOD AS IT GETS

I bought this for mainly hurricane. It had the power level, clean power, low noise level and it will run on propane. I had the propane company install a line from my big tank this a quick disconnect. I had 10 hours on it (5hr break in, 5hr total for small jobs). It runs great, it has been tested on the house and it will run my 5 ton AC unit, sump pump, all the refrigerators and one big freezer. I will keep this until Im to old to move it around then get a permanent installed standby generator.

Easy Setup, quiet

Took about an hour to set, mainly because I had to remove some of the oil before starting it up. The oil you get is 1.1L which is the same oil capacity listed in the specifications. However, using the dipstick, it appears you should only put just a tad more than a liter in the crack case otherwise oil will flow out of cap. Started up on the first try and is very quiet when running with little to no load. This was a big concern of mine when thinking about purchasing a generator as the house next store is only 25 feet away. Very happy with ease of set up and operation.

Sturdy and solid

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.

Just what I needed

The generator was easy to unbox and assemble. It came with everything I need to put it together and connect it to a propane tank. I have close neighbors so I like the fact that this runs quietly. I haven't needed to use it yet but I'm confident that it will keep my house going if we have a power outage.

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.

Consider weight and size if putting in RV basement

This generator is quite large and heavy. I have to figure out a way to store it in my RV basement. I bought ramps and will have to get some sort of wench so I can get it by myself into basement. I don't think even two men could do it by themselves. I cannot recommend yet until I figure a way to store.

Wow! So quiet!

This is my first generator and I need an inverter generator that I can hook up to my FoxESS solar battery to provide power in the event of an outage with low solar radiation. My experience of generators is largely limited to my nextdoor neighbours' Generac Whole Home generator, which is enough to wake the entire neighbourhood when it fires up. Not so with this inverter generator. It was so quiet. So, far, I'm really pleased!

Excellent Generator in this power size rating

I bought this in preparation for hurricane season to have some power in my house. After testing it, its powerful enough to run the essentials at my house, but small enough to still use elsewhere. Has plenty of extras compared to other brands in this price range.

Inverter generator review.

I like the generator and have it set up to supply a plug that then feeds the house through a transfer switch. Easy to set up and refuel. Very quiet when running. The reason I gave it a 4 instead of 5 is I would prefer a key to the toggle switch, to easy to forget to shut off and it will drain the battery.

Works great. Runs electric water heater and HVAC

Running off house propane. Tested to 7+KW no problem. Had to move the large regulator from supplied propane tank hose to the house gas connection. User manual a bit confusing for Data Center display. I don't see frequency as an option. My DVM showed 60hz solid at full power with only a slight drop in voltage (244VAC no load to 238VAC full load).
