I bought this igen8200tfc tri-fuel inverter generator at appx 30% discount 3 weeks ago during (Jan 2026) polar vortex. The thousands of reviews showed it has an unusually positive rating, 4.8/5 stars at one major vendor and 4.9/5 on another. We never lost utility power, so I'm just now registering and then doing break-in procedures later today. I did the inventory and inspection. It came with a REAL full-size manual! Its about an hour to fully read it/bookmark it, but the manual is very readable and well-illustrated (Thank You, Westinghouse!). I charged the battery overnight with the supplied trickle-charger. Added the supplied 10w30 engine oil (the supplied flexible screw-in filler funnel worked great to prevent any drips). So far everything looks correct per my inspection of connections, housing, panels, etc. Overall looks good. It is definately a quite heavy (135lbs) item, but for its power output level (6,600 RUNNING watts) is relatively light. I am able to lift it, but will be using ramps to load it in the back of my 2004 F150 bed. It's height (22 inches) just barely fits under my tonneau cover, but will transport just fine. (Sweet!). I just wanted to register it prior to first break-in startup. Wish me luck. I will try to update this review (presently 4 out of 5 stars) over time if this site will allow updates.

4-stars I have owned for 1 month. Need more time to evaluate Manual instructions are clear and concise Side panels removable for maintenance access Front panel controls and marking clearly identified Navigating website to find spare parts needs improvement. Gas filter was out of stock when I checked.

While we have not had to use this yet, it started right up on the trial run. It runs pretty quietly and is compact and relatively easy to move. Did not give 5 stars as this was the 2nd one we ordered that came with bent axels and broken plastic on the wheels. Needs better packing!

The generator looks substancial and what I expected. I did considerable research and for an 8K watt it got very good reviews. I am registering it now to get a free cover and in order to do so I have to fill out a review. The free cover is for an OPEN frame generator so hope it fits the enclosed unit well.

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!!

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.

Just received the generator and wanted to get it registered. Have not run it yet. Unit was well packaged and in great shape. Looks to be very well made. Seems to be a great value money wise for a unit of this size. I did a lot of research before deciding on this particular generator, and it appears like it was a good decision. Anxious to try it out.

I recently purchased the iGen8200TFC generator and have been very impressed so far. The tri‑fuel capability was a big selling point for me, and it’s great knowing I can run it on gasoline, propane, or natural gas depending on what’s available. Setup was straightforward, and the electric/remote start works perfectly. For a generator of this size, it’s surprisingly quiet and runs very smoothly. It has plenty of power to handle everything I need during an outage without any issues. The unit is definitely on the heavier side, but the wheels make it manageable. Overall, it feels very well built and reliable, which is exactly what I was looking for in a backup power solution. So far, I’m extremely satisfied with this purchase and would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful, flexible, and dependable generator.

Have just completed the break in and it does run quiet. Ran on propane. Ran 2 periods. Second run took a bunch of hit the start buttons to get it running. I like that it is lighter than some in the same category. Instructions where a little vague on battery hookup. Should tell you which side. Not a fan of the low handle. Kind of a pain to open for an old guy of 70. Plan on getting a outlet to house for easy home backup so the 50 amp connection will be great.

put oil in hooked up battery used propane started righe away . only had it for a few days so far so good
