One of my best purchases ever!

I couldn't be happier with my Westinghouse iGen8200TFc—it's easily one of the best investments I've made for reliable backup power. Right out of the gate, the tri-fuel capability is a game changer: being able to run on gasoline, propane, or natural gas gives unbeatable flexibility depending on supply and situation. What really sets this generator apart is its inverter technology, which produces clean, stable power with less than 3% total harmonic distortion—perfect for sensitive electronics like phones, laptops, and TVs without risking damage. The unit is notably quiet and fuel efficient, thanks to its smart Eco mode that adjusts engine speed to match the load, saving fuel and reducing noise even during long runtimes. It's built with thoughtful features you'll actually use: a digital LED data center that displays fuel level, running hours, voltage, and more, plus a remote electric start so you don't have to be right next to it every time you power up. The CO sensor and automatic shutdown give added peace of mind for safety during prolonged use. With robust power output capable of running essentials like AC, refrigerator, sump pump, and tools—even simultaneously—it's ideal for home backup, RV camping, job sites, or emergency preparedness. Overall, this generator combines performance, convenience, safety, and flexibility in a package that's hard to beat for the price. Highly recommended!

Quiet and great fuel options!

Purchased this generator mainly form it's low decibels (especially in eco mode). I also like that it can run on three different fuel types. Remote start is a nice feature (remote came already paired). Another main reason I purchased this generator is for the clean sine wave it produces for the longevity of my electronics.

Quiet and Capable

Even though we live in the mountains, we generally have very reliable electric service, so this was purely a planning purchase, hoping it seldom gets used. We went with the iGen8200TFc Digital Inverter Generator because it has great reviews online, has enough power to run everything we need (well pump, lights, outlets, frig and freezer), is super quiet, is very portable, has low THD, has a 50 amp outlet and runs on multiple fuel types. I work on lots of small engines for friends and this design solves many of the gripes I mutter when working on those older pieces of equipment. Those include a permanently attached oil drain hose, so no spills when changing oil. It also has a tube installed to easily drain the carb bowl to keep stale fuel out of that important part. Those are clever and appreciated! It fired right up out of the box and is amazingly quiet. Very happy with our purchase!!

Great set up!

I picked up my generator four days ago. Luckily, we did not have to use it just yet for a power outage. It was a simple, quick, set up to start which was great. My expectations were met with ease. I am satisfied with the purchase, and I would recommend the model.

Great home generator.

I purchased my generator 12 days ago and glad I did. We lost power during a major snow storm. It kept us from freezing when outside temperatures in the single digits And kept all my appliances running smoothly as well as lights and my well and furnace. I give this generator a thumbs up 👍.

Started right up on propane

Purchased as a backup generator for our house when the power goes out. It will be enough to keep the refrigerators running and lights on, and probably a bit more. I got the generator setup with a propane tank and it started right up. Eventually, I plan to tap into our house's gas line so I won't have to worry about gasoline and propane tanks, but it's nice to have all three options.

Tri-fuel and cast iron sleeve

I did a lot of research before my purchased. This had the best reviews of any generator. My reason was the tri-fuel capability and the cast iron sleeve for extra durability.

Easy start up in super quiet

Easy set up right out of the box. Started first time on propane and super quiet. A couple of hours into the break-in and I feel good about my purchase. It's heavy, but the telescoping handle makes it a bit easier to shift around.

Nice looking generator!

Still need to do the break-in and use the generator but from a pure options, power, build quality, and looks, it checks all the boxes! Hoping everything works great which I'm sure it will.
