Features and Quality

I just purchased this unit and so impressed with the features and quality. It started up with no issues right out of the box. So far I've run it with propane and natural gas and it's very easy to switch over to each fuel type. This inverter / generator model is extremely quite compared to my other gas generator and I love the handle that extends out which makes it easy for rolling and storage.

Great Workmanship and Came with Everything Needed!

So far, so good. It was easy to set up and ran perfectly. Haven't had to really put it to the test yet and won't until we lose power to the house. But I was impressed with what came in the box with it. Everything, including oil, and LPG connector hose (if needed). Manual very easy to read with visuals and the machine itself is well marked. A electric battery charger included! Battery is easy to access and is easily replaceable with market models.

What a piece of junk!

I bought this almost a month ago in preparation for hurricane season. Two days after receiving it, our power was out for 7days. I had it connected to the main panel, and got the house powered up with it. After about 15 minutes I engaged the AC (my AC has a soft start connected), almost immediately the generator sputtered and died. I pulled this new unit out of service and ran the whole week with no further issues once I hooked up my older (less wattage) conventional generator. Thankfully I was able to sell this piece of crap to a neighbor who didn't care about running their main AC.

Checks nearly all of the boxes.

This seems to be the sweet spot of small home backup generators. Quiet, fuel efficient, multi fuel, REMOTE START(take note Wen), decent run time, 240v, decent output, easy oil changes(take note Wen), and large access panels. The only feature I was looking for that this generator does not offer is automatic switch over to gasoline when propane runs out thus greatly extending the run time. I am using this to recharge our battery bank for night time silent operation and the charge controller is enjoying the clean power that this inverter generator produces.

Really Impressed with the iGen8200TFc!!!

After reading numerous positive reviews on the Westinghouse generators, I purchased the iGen8200TFc to connect to my house for future power outages. I unboxed everything, filled the unit with oil, connected the battery, hooked it up to a propane tank and this unit fired right up and ran perfectly. Also, can't believe how quiet it is. I'll run it strictly on propane or natural gas. Really impressed with this unit from the get-go. It has a lot of nice features. I checked voltages at all of the receptacles with the unit running and the gen was putting out and a solid 122VAC and 245VAC on my multimeter. I like the telescoping handle; it stows out of the way. The unit wasn't too heavy to move thru the yard, plus I really like having the tri-fuel option. I'll be ready for the next power outage!

Excellent purchase

I just bought this igen11000DFc inverter generator. I'm very impressed with the quality. Came with everything needed to get it assembled and up and running. I paired the remote start to it and it fired up first shot. Ran it for 2 hours today. I need 3 more hours to complete break in. I was kind of surprised by the quietness of it. I thought it would be a little bit louder so that's a plus. I ran it on has today, next time I'll try propane. Overall great purchase and so far I'm very satisfied!

Works on gas but not propane

Just bought it and it starts fine on gas but not propane. Propane comes out of the hose if disconnected from generator. Tried 2 different propane tanks, same result. Starts briefly with a different regulator but stops after a second. After posting this review I will be submitting a service request to see if they can help. It's a nice generator so I would recommend it (even more so after it's fixed!)

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.

Powerful, Quiet, and Reliable — Great Purchase So

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.

Easy to operate.

I bought this just a week before a random power outage and so glad I did. Connecting to a propane tank was safe and easy, and the push button start was fantastic. My whole house transfer switch was already done, so we had this backup power running in less than 10 minutes. The plastic housing is great as it protects the inner workings from other nearby things in my storage shed.
