This generator is a beast!

I've only had the generator in my possession for only about a month, but I am confident I'm in good hands in the event we lose power in our home. I've powered it up a couple of times and let it run, and I am thoroughly impressed at the ease of startup. Plus, it's not overly loud compared to other generators. It has all the "bells and whistles" you're looking for in a generator. I really like the dual fuel feature where you switch from gasoline to propane. I believe I made the right choice by going with this Westinghouse model!

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.

Worth the Wait!

After another hurricane and another extended power outage we knew that it was time to upgrade our existing generator. After a lot of research and customer satisfaction we decided on the iGen11000DFc. It seemed that a lot of people had come to the conclusion at that same time because the unit became out of stock. After waiting for about a month with daily checks it became available and we placed our order. After picking the unit up I got it home and began the unboxing and assembly. Everything was packaged very well and every tool that you need for assembly is included. The instructions are clearly written, easy to understand and complete assembly took no more than 10 minutes. When filling the oil (which is included) you will need a funnel. This surprised me since EVERYTHING else that you need is included but this is a minor thing. After assembly I rolled it into position (it rolls very well), attached the propane and fired it up. It is so much quieter than what we have become accustomed to - and now with it being an inverter I have no qualms with letting it run all night to keep up with a diminished power demand. I am not looking forward to losing power again but a part of me is looking forward to putting this iGen11000DFc to work when it does.

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.

Better than I Expected

I liked some features I didn't expect: a drain hose for oil drain, a fuel drain hose for the carb float bowl, a threaded funnel for the oil fill, and a fuel spill ramp surrounding the gas cap. The generator was well packaged and easy to put into operation. Quieter than most comparable generators. I am still stumped by the remote start. But I'll figure it out.

SSOOOO QUIET

It was easy to assemble. I am running the break in period now and am hopeful everything will run smoothly. I'm transitioning from a gas unit that is VERY heavy and VERY loud so this is wonderful. My husband couldn't even hear it through the phone. So far, I'd recommend this generator!

Powerful Inverter Generator

Seems well made. I like that an Automatic Transfer Switch ("ST" optional unit) can be easily added. Added oil, but the flexible funnel that was supplied has smaller size threads that won't screw into the oil fill opening..... Nice that two quality wrenches were supplied with the unit, to attach the wheels, legs, and handle. Started right up on gasoline, ran some break-in time using two 1500W heaters. Seems to be pretty quiet for such a large generator. Have not yet tried propane. A Parts diagram was supplied, noticed that this engine has a balance shaft, and an oil pump. I suppose, because of the pump, it has forced lubrication (versus splash), which is a nice feature. The Parts diagram is missing the piston and connecting rod, it needs updating.

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.

iGen11000DFc

Picked up this inverter generator today. set up was very easy. Will fire it up when time permits. Need to be able to run it for a few hours for break in. Did a lot of research before deciding on the Westinghouse brand. Had a lot less negative comments then others along with lots of positive comments.

Gotta love the remote start

Super easy to assemble and get the unit up and running. I've already had the unit running for 6-7 and working great. The electric start works every time and having the remote super great. After looking at several other units I decided on this one and I'm glad I did.
