Verified Purchase

Came in quickly, great machine.

Haven’t fired it up just yet, but it came in quickly and as expected. Great unit!! Soon as I my electrician gets my plug installed I will follow up with a running review.

Powerful, Efficient, Flexible Fuels Generator

Great features at a reasonable price. The ability to switch from gasoline to propane to natural gas gives lots of flexibility in keeping the generator running in different ways when some fuels can be more challenging to obtain. I especially like the low THD which means I can use the generator to run any appliance, including those with sensitive electronic circuits.

Great features and easy assembly

Just assembled this iGen12000 TFc generator this afternoon with help from someone who has assembled a few similar Westinghouse generators. The generator is very heavy but not too difficult to move (nice fold away handle, decent size wheels). I plan on using natural gas, waiting for the plumber and electrician. I bought this inverter generator rather than the regular model for its low THD (<3%) to protect my expensive 2-stage furnace control board. I want to be prepared just in case Super El Nino brings down power line this winter.

Quiet Power house

I just received my Igen12000TFC and so far, I am very impressed. It is the mist quiet generator I have ever owned! The generator started immediately via the remote start and push button start. It took about 3 pulls to start it manually. It was very easy to switch from gasoline to propane and the front panel is very intuitive to use. The unit is very heavy but, the wheels make it manageable to move around. I almost cannot wait for my next power outage 😊

The Total Package

Bought this generator because of the countless great reviews and the videos praising it's performance. Generator was packaged well, Instructions are plain and easy to understand. It is bigger than I thought. We will have to figure out the best way to put it into the bed of the truck for camping. I am looking foreword to being able to stay at camp sites that don't have electricity, this will open up a lot of possibilities.

Good Buy

I just brought this to replace an existing Genset. This one is able to handle 3 different fuel sources and is a lot quieter than the one I replaced. Also the fact that it is an inverter with today's electronic needing charged and operated, is a blessing.

Solid Tri-fuel generator

Bought to replace our Firman. This is much quieter and has features well beyond what I expected. After research this was my choice over Firman and Champion. It was wierd to have to put the feet and the wheels on. Modifying the pallet shape would make this easier.

Looks like a decent machine

I just unboxed it, I have no idea how it will perform long term. So I cannot honestly leave a five star review….. also I cannot get the free bonus cover while registering the machine unless I leave a review? So here we are leaving an undetermined review.

looks great

We bought this October 7th and got it hooked up and running on Saturday for a test. It stated that it would run our whole house but when we cranked it up and switched to it from our power source, the 30 amp kept running but after about 15 minutes the 50 amp shut down the rest of the rest of the house stuff . We haven't had the time to try to read and see why that would have happened.

Cannot use during bad weather

According to the owner manual this generator cannot be used in rainy or snowy weather without having a separate open enclosure. I have used old standard generators with no electronics on construction sites during ALL weather. What good is a generator that you cannot easily use in a bad weather emergency? I bought this generator because of its rated capacity and efficiency to get the longest runtime on any capable fuel. I planned on moving it to go to the hunting cabin, camping, and most of all emergency backup power during storms. Unfortunately it's more of a showpiece for upper middle class neighborhoods rather than a "go to" piece of equipment to rely on during emergencies. Anybody that wants to use this during hurricane season had better be prepared to pamper it. It's just not designed to be rugged.
