Gen8200TFc

We bought this for our 40ft fifth wheel camper with 2 air conditioning units and it powers everything. Overall the generator is very quiet. Our 50 amp cord plugs right into the front of the generator. Also love the easy transport handle to extends out from the front.

Quiet, Clean Power

Am just breaking this in, but so far clean power, pretty smooth running. A little flickering of lights here and there in eco mode, but nowhere near as bad big old 220V generator we had. This is very close to as smooth in performance as the Honda i2000 generators if you are familiar. Running it on propane.

Great Tri-Fuel Inverter Generator at a Great Price

I needed a new generator to power my house during preemptive power cuts we are going to be continuing to experience here in CO when the winds pick up. I do not have long term usage with this generator but initial impressions are very good, and this isn't my first inverter generator. This tri-fuel inverter generator will simultaneously run my 240V well pump, refrigerator, hydronic heater gas boiler system, some lights and my microwave while being powered by propane. I have not tried this with gasoline or natural gas yet but really pleased I have those options as I intend to get a NG line ran to be able run this generator via NG. The generator is not overly loud when running, the size is manageable since it comes with wheels and handle already installed. Very pleased with this purchase so far!

Very efficent and dependable

I am very happy with this generator, it starts right up very quickly every time with the push of a button, on all three fuels (gasoline, propane and natural gas). It is very efficent and dependable. It is 240 volts so it powers up my whole electrical panel, not just half of the panel like the 120V generators. It powers my entire house including my heat pump.

Everything I was looking for (almost)

It just arrived yesterday and the setup was easy, basically just adding oil and attaching two electrical connectors to each other. The generator's fit and finish were excellent. My only problem is that it wouldn't initially start on propane. I tried a number of times, but it just wouldn't turn over, so I put some gas in and it started right up. After running on gas for ten minutes, I shut it down and tried it on propane again and this time it started up and ran for another five minutes until I shut it down. I see others have also had this problem. Not a huge deal breaker, but they should get this sorted out. Otherwise, it seems like a great machine.

igen 11000DFc

I have a igen4500 and love it. I was looking to use it to run 2 space heaters and a few snake cages during emergencies. I then realized biggest rule for generators is to make sure you don't get one that has to run at 80-100% of full capacity. Not only does fuel efficiency go way down but so does lifespan and noise level of generator. I debates on another igen4500 and parallel them or a Predator 9500. I watched some videos of parallel generators and even though power is there, noise level is much louder than just one big one. I have close neighbors....not worried about bothering them but letting them/anyone else know that I have one. So far this thing is AWESOME! If you have a igen4500 it is just its big brother. I was very impressed on how quiet it is. Also the compartments for adding oil or draining carb are so easy to get to. No nuts to unscrew, just twist the lock and pull clips. The carb already has drain tube and so does oil. After adding oil and non ethanol gas, it fired right up. Still in break in process but 2 hours in and great. Don't pay extra for less rated power from other brands. This has more power and cheaper, looks better and excellent options. I couldn't find any reviews on this model so hope this one helps.

Finally a tri-fuel that doesn't weigh 250 lbs

All the tri-fuel generators previously have seemed to weigh 250+ lbs and while this isn't exactly a featherweight at 135 lbs it is a reasonable size for an 8kw 240v gen. Will be using this to backfeed my panel during future storm outages and needed tri-fuel in order to hook it up to the house's natural gas supply so I don't have to mess with gasoline or propane tanks.

Great package!

This generator has the best features in a portable package of any generator I have ever seen. The tri fuel combination is outstanding and allows me to use natural gas from my home as a backup fuel source. The inverter generator is very quiet and easy to use.

Best generator I've owned

I had the Westinghouse IGen 4500 for few years. That was super quiet and very reliable. I wanted to upgrade to 240 volts so I can run my well pump during outages. I decided to purchase another Westinghouse generator seeing that I had such great luck with the I-Gen 4500. I'm so glad I did. This i-Gen 8200 tfc is perfect for running my essential itemsbin my house. It's super quiet. extremely easy to start, manually or with the pushbutton remote. I added the included oil, filled it with the correct fresh gasoline, it started immediately without issues. I'm up to my 4th hour of the break in procedure. This is one smooth running generator. So happy I decided to stay with Westinghouse again.

Quiet and Compact

Pretty easy set-up after unboxing. Design and quality appear to have been well thought out. Not crazy about the suitcase style/wagon handle for transport but also not planning on going hiking with it. Slight concern about reports of being unable to pull start if battery is dead but will find a way to make it work. Overall happy with the purchase.
