Nice so far

Have had unit for 6 weeks now. Doing a gradual break-in. So far the unit is working as it should. Big test will come this winter when we lose power often. Generator starts instantly on gas but has a bit of a problem starting on propane. Am trying to work that out. I would say at this point the unit is as advertised. Big test to come

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.

Worth the wait, a great generator!

I was looking for a quality brand generator that’ll run my whole house, including the air conditioner and well pump. I didn’t want a “whole-house” built in unit that I wouldnt be able to take with me if we moved to a different home again. So far the Westinghouse iGen11000DFc is up to the task. The key features I was looking for included: will run on at least dual fuel, 50amp hookup, and parallel capabilities. The Westinghouse had all of these. The unit is very heavy but was easy to set up and get running. I haven’t had a power outage yet to run the unit for extended hours but it has run flawless during all my testing and has powered everything Ive asked of it. Because of the inverter, I no longer have issues running my built in microwave which would error-out using my older/smaller generator. I’m confident I’ll be ready if the power does go out. The only feature I wish this unit had would be the tri-fuel option, that would be awesome. So far this generator has been great!

Smooth setup, easy to follow instruction manual

This is our first generator, and set up, manual, operations were all very easy to understand. We have had it a week and it is performing great. We are using it to power a barn/workshop for now, but anticipate also using as a back up power supply for our off grid solar powered home.

IGen 11000DFc Inverter generator

Love the built of this enclosed Inverter generator. Bought it a few month back when first hurricane arrived in Florida. Fortunately we did not loose power and did not get to test under extreme emergency conditions but we feel confident this machine will do the job.

Excellent 'Quiet" Generator

Just finished the assembly and initial start-up. Went together easily (although it is very heavy), and started it with the auto start button. I am only running propane as it will be used as a secondary generator at my off-grid property in northern Michigan. The unit looks and feels of high quality and so far I am impressed with the operating decibel level (especially compared to my legacy traditional generator(s)). Looking forward to a hopefully long future of usage.

Easy Setup

Bought this generator after having three power outages this winter. This is my first generator and I wanted one that would be quiet but have enough power to run refrigerators, water heater, and heat. Setup was easy. Two people can easily lift the generator out of the packaging and move it around for assembly. Tools needed were included which was great since I didn't have a 24mm wrench. Only part that was a challenge was filling the oil. The funnel included looks like it should screw into the oil inlet, but it doesn't. As a result, it's a bit tricky to fill the oil without spilling some of it. Also, the key fob for remote start has a plastic ring around the battery that needs to be removed before it will work. I didn't see anything about this in the instructions. I started it up to test it using propane. Started easily and was pretty quiet.

Exceptional Quality

The quality that went into the building of this inverter was beyond my expectations. Everything was thought of from the drain tube to the carburetor to the drain hose to the oil plug. Love the no tools needed to remove the side panels. Loved the ease of putting the wheels on. Love the rubber protection around the fuel cap. I like how every bit of information you need about the generator is literally right on top of the inverter. The instruction manual is precise and accurate to the exact model of the inverter. It’s rare to find this kind of craftsmanship anymore. Only thing left to do is fire it up, break it in, and prepare for an outage.

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!

Started right up

The iGen11000Dfc was well packaged and started easily on gasoline. I have not tried LPG. The unit appears to be well built. The unit is heavy and I suggest having a helper to unload and unpackage. Documentation needs improved. The manual refers to turning the fuel control switch to off, but there is no switch. Other then improvements needed in documentation I am pleased with the unit so far.
