Whole-house Backup Generator

The 12000W tri-fuel inverter generator is easy to assemble and operate safely and properly. It was given a test run as if we had a power outage. We found that we could rely on it to supply whole-house power, as it easily handled our HVAC system and all the typical household appliances. It is truly a whole-house backup generator solution. The user manual is helpful.

Excellent High Power and Very Quiet Generator

We upgraded from a 4500 watt so that we could run everything in our new 5th wheel. It had plenty of power. Had zero issues running both of our A/C units. Most of the time it sounded like it was just idling. It was one of the quietest generators of my camping group. I ran it off propane and it was about the same price with gas prices being so high. It is very well thought out for service. I hated my 4500 because everything was so hard to get and required tons of screws being removed. Westinghouse must have listened to the complaints because both sides come off without tools. It has a nice oil change tube you won't make a mess. The battery was right there nicely behind the cover. No more fishing your hand around inside a hidden compartment to hook up the battery. It's very easy to haul around as it's really not any heavier than a 5000 watt that's full of fuel. If you need a big generator this is the one you want!

So many great features

This generator is packed with features too numerous to mention. We wanted to switch to a lower THD generator and finding this one, with this much power, with an inverter made this a no brainer. For our needs this can power every necessity in our home. Remote start is a great bonus!

Outstanding

I purchased this some time back and just now noticed their was a CONGRATULATIONS card which qualifies me for a bonus item which is a generator cover also i did have a problem the breaker on the unit was defective and had a case number of SC289048 spoke with Ron he forwarded me out a replacement breaker which resolved the issue. I am so glad i purchased this generator and have been telling my colleagues about it and now they are going to order one it has been running like a CHAMP.. i will look to get another iGen with higher wattage when you all come out with one. Thanks a MILLION.

Had an interlock installed on our breaker at our house and upgraded to this generator. Test ran it for a couple hours to start the break in process per the manual and ran great and is surprisingly quiet for such a large generator. Manual is easy to follow and understand.

Packaged well. Shows some run time. Assuming the perform a run check as I would expect. Small QC issues: Oil screen had metal in the oil screen out of the box. funnel threads are the wrong size this is not a big deal but a a QC error non the less. Started on gas quickly. Has good sound control for its size. I cannot comment on longevity at this time

Great features!

Just purchased this 2 weeks ago and very impressed with the quality of it. Initial setup out of the box was straight forward and initial startup was easy. Especially like the electric start and the included remote. The front panel is easy to read and maneuver. Impressed with how quiet it is compared to my old generator. The ability to use various fuel sources is a great feature!!!

Just bought this thing and it's already not workin

It's already throwing a red dead light they call it stating there's a faulty part on this thing already just bought it not even a full 2 months ago. So my advice register your product asap and prep for right at 80 hours it going into a slump until someone reaches out to you! The cost on this thing, you'd think they would have a number hotline to call because now this is effecting my business. We will see what they say, hopefully they don't give me a hard time! Register your product right away, don't wait and think because it's shiny new and nothing won't happen. It's bound to happen with these things. So take my advice, if not this one it'll happen to the next one. Other than it's silent, worked great up until it didn't on Christmas eve. Hopefully these guys figure thus issue out asap! I will update if they let me update. Being this new, shouldn't be having problems like this.

Great unit terrible safety co sensor

This seems like a great generator but the CO sensor is extremely too sensitive. Won't stay on but I'm sure if it had a less sensitive CO sensor somehow then it would be a great unit... however, due to this issue I really wish I would have went with a different brand.
