Great Inverter Generator

I just bought this generator to replace my 20 year old generator (which is still working). I wanted a generator with enough wattage to power my home A/C and this fits the bill. I also wanted a quieter generator and this is way quieter than my old generator. I can stand next to it and carry on a conversation without going deaf. I plan on using propane as primary fuel so duel fuel was required. I have run it on propane to check function and everything worked. Remote, push button, and manual start (if required) available. Battery charger included. Simple setup. Remove from box, add oil, make sure battery is charged and start. I have been through many hurricanes and know how useful a generator can be. I have been lucky and only had to use one a couple of times, but all the neighbors were making their morning coffee on my back patio. This generator will give me piece of mind during hurricane season. Hope I never have to use it, but I'm prepared. Great product!

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.

Very Quiet/Easy Set Up/Starting Features/Looks

Just purchased the iGen11000DFc 10 days ago. This is my first generator I have ever purchased. During my research, this inverter generator was on my list of narrowed down brands/items. Almost settled on a few different ones, but something kept causing me to come back to looking at this inverter generator: has most power in it's class/runs on gasoline and propane/three ways to start/quietest in class. I made the right decision. It was packaged well, easy to set up, very quiet, and is extremely good looking (nice bonus). I put gasoline in, followed the quick start instructions (using the remote start function) and it took running like it is already broken in. This is staying housed in out toy trailer (28 foot all aluminum) with dirt bikes, ATV's, kayaks, canoes, power washer, air compressor, and a 2008 Goldwing. This is it's primary use, but a bonus for us is, it is powerful enough to hook to the hose in case of emergency power outages. I have it set up in our toy trailer with the exhaust facing the front ramp door so it can be run while in the trailer. We are able to still hold a normal conversation (without raising our voices) while in the trailer with the generator running in normal mode (didn't have to be in Echo mode for this to happen). I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting/needing an Inverter Generator. I have a good understanding of the importance of a pure sinewave inverter if using sensitive electronics (which will happen while camping in the toy trailer) so in my opinion this generator will/does fit our needs/requirements extremely well. Did I mention: "it is very good looking & quiet" ?

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.

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.

Igen11000DFc

I just took delivery of an IGen11000DFc which is an upgrade from an IGen4500. The 4500 ran for 10 straight hours last week without any issue and got us through Hurricane Milton. We upgraded only because we needed 240 volt support to run our new septic pump .Everything was very tidy with the new unit. I like the no-screw side panels which easily come off. The oil drain hose was a pleasant surprise as I had added one to my IGen4500. I hooked up the battery, swapped the spark plug for an NGK and I'll add a magnetic drain plug as soon as it comes in the mail. I've been through 2 hours of no load break in without issue followed by an oil change. Tomorrow will be a partially loaded run. After that, I'll test it connected to the house. We added an Easystart on our AC, so I'm interested to see how the Igen works with it. These inverter/generators rock!

Great Inverter Generator

Ran great for more than 5 hrs. Was really impressed with how quiet it is compared to the open frames I've had in the past. I did have a problem finding the serial number to register it but guessed at the number on the model number placard. Overall, very happy and would highly recommend this generator.

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.

Easy setup,Great looking Generator

II bought this a few days ago, it just came in, setup was fairly easy, the oil funnel would't screw into the engine block but not a big deal. filled it with oil and gas, it cranked on first try. I have let it run for about two hours with no problems. runs fairly quit for a large generator. so for I am impressed.

Worked great with no issues

I bought this for emergency for home use and it worked great. It started up first try and it always worked and started right up. I only used propane and it worked great, i had no issues with it starting or shutting off or overload issues. It worked as advertised and it was really quiet for the power that it generates. I recommend this generator. I will continue to test it but so far so good.
