Very good generator

This inverter generator is designed and built very well. Has all the features I need to power my 5000 sq ft house in the event of a power outage. Being an inverter generator makes me feel secure about running my electronics on it as well. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Great Value

I had another brand generator before. It was loud. A friend pulled out his Westinghouse inverter generator and it was supper quiet and had much more features. The cost was another benefit I've used this generator twice now, and I like the dual fuel system and how quiet it is. This is a well built machine, it will be in this family for many years to come.

iGen11000DFc

Unit shipped well and well packaged. Start up was simple, except the battery in the remote was weak and I had to replace. It is a heavy unit and definitely needs the wheels to move around. The assembly of the wheels was a little troublesome, but nothing a hammer would not correct. Overall very pleased with and would recommend to someone looking to power most of your house. Emailed support a question about floating the neutral on this unit and was provided a generic answer after a two week wait... Hoping the website will eventual provide.

Great value and quality

This is our second unit. First one we bought was a 4500 dual fuel and it was amazing just a bit underpowered for what we needed. We went with the 11,000 dual fuel this time. Love the dual fuel option of not having to use gasoline and gum up the carb when not in use. Lp is slightly less power but it's gonna start everytime I need it to. Never had issues with our 4500 and I'm expecting a trouble free use on this one as well.

Love this brand. We also have the 5000w model

Love this brand. We also have the 5000 watt model, Had this one for 4 years now as well. always starts, never a problem. Things we love, runs on propane, quiet, remote start, never fails, just love these things. Thought we would try the smaller unit for fun.

Powerful clean option inverter generator

Purchased for the occasional troubling emergency usage. Dual fuel only intended for propane use. All parts came as described. Subtracted one star because the battery does not maintain charge and requires trickle charging. Not sure why since it did run for a few hours, but start up a week later had to do the charge of the battery. Also took off because the peg legs are burdensome is 187 pounds and quite heavy to roll. Four wheels much better option. Otherwise, started it up properly runs relatively quietly can take gasoline as well as propane, puts out adequate amount of wattage to run my entire house. I have adapted a whole house transfer switch to the breaker box and a line from the main propane feed to the generator to replace the portable so I never have to worry about running out of fuel. Unable to comment further until need to put it to actual use.

So easy to use!

I bought this for an emergency backup generator. Thankfully haven't had the need for it yet, but I think it'll more than power what we need. I wanted a generator that would be easy enough for my wife to start if I weren't home. The power button and remote make starting this thing a snap. Everything is so well labeled, also, that it'd be impossible to make a wrong connection. So far I've only ran it on propane, and just enough to get through the initial 4 to 5 hour break-in period. I've changed the oil twice, per recommendations, and both times it remained very clear. During the break-in period I ran my table saw, some fans, and a shop vac. It powered them all without problem. It's very heavy, but doesn't seem so with the wheels and handle. It was very easy to move around. Runs much more quietly than I was expecting. When used as a backup generator outside our house, I don't think we'll hear it at all inside the house.

Works good so far

I haven't had a chance to use it with a heavy load or using gasoline yet, but with propane, it starts right up and is pretty quiet for it's size. Lots of great features. The only minor issues I have are: 1. The funnel supplied for adding oil has the wrong size threads so it wont screw into the the filler and it leaked oil. I just used a standard filler that I had. 2. The right side panel (where the oil filler is) was really difficult to open and close.I had to use a putty knife to pry it open (Yes I did turn the lock knob to open) and I had to smack the panel to to close it. Hopefully it will loosen up with use.

Great Inverter

Just purchased the iGen11000DFc to use as whole home generator. Haven't gotten a chance to use. Everything about it seems to be straight forward EXCEPT for how to turn off the gas.. I'm going to assume you would turn the fuel switch to propane but there is nothing in the Manuel to indicate this. I guess I will just have to run it and switch to propane (with no tank attached) to see what happens. If someone reads this that knows the answer please respond.

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.
