Great features and price

Still in break in mode. Generator arrived in great shape. Setup was easy with just installing the handle, front legs, and rear wheels. After break in and testing, I'll change the oil. Then I need to unbond the neutral and ground so I can hook to my power panel with an interlock. Using the 50 amp feed to my power inlet box. This unit should get us thru power outages.

Florida Homeowner says this thing is a beast!

This thing is a beast- can power all my fridges and lights and even my home AC. I love that it can use any of 3 fuels. Should make it easy to find fuel during a hurricane, etc. I live in Florida. MUCH quieter than my old frame non-inverter style and it was just 3000 watts. I use the pull start but the remote works just fine.

Great upgrade

I bought this for upgrade to my old one for emergencies and after setting it up and trying it out it was great choice. Easy to set up and use . all connects are labeled and has shut off circuit to hook up before energizing. The start up is easy with button or remote and starts up quick. Runs smooth and being an inverter will be freindly to electronics in house.

Good unit.

I just brought this home yesterday and assembled it. Assembly was easy with just the wheels, stand pads, and handle to add to the base unit. Added oil and gas and it started right up. While this generator is larger than my old one from another manufacturer, it is much quieter than that one was (at least under no load conditions... I haven't tried it with a full load yet.) It seems very well built. So far I am happy with this purchase.

So far I am largely impressed, but things to note

I bought this generator after deliberating long and hard. It was a tough purchase because it is a lot of money for something just used in the event of a hurricane. That said, so far I am pretty impressed, but there are a couple of items that should be brought up. The generator is built quite nice. It is definitely VERY heavy, but I feel like there was some thought and effort on the product. I like the covers on each side and how they latch. I really like how the oil drain was connected to a hose, as well as the carb gas drain (the gas drain was particularly nice). I really like all of the information provided on the panel, including the fuel level which is really nice. Some of the things that were disappointing considering the positives: 1. There is an oil filter on this unit. It is in the exact same place as the DFc model however there is some sort of big cylinder directly in the way in front of it. I am not sure what this is, but the DFc doesn't seem to have it from the videos I have seen, so I assume it has to do with the Natural Gas part of the unit. It is a little bit of a pain to remove as it requires a 10mm wrench and has limited movement. On such a well thought out generator, this seems to be a rushed item and makes the access to the filter a bit inconvenient. 2. This generator wasn't cheap but came with quite a bit of stuff. The one thing that it didn't come with that I was disappointed about was a cover. This was a HUGE miss. I plan on storing this in my garage and I am going to have to buy my own cover now. 3. It would be nice if the dipstick was magnetic to help keep the engine oil as clean as possible 4. The eco mode barely changes the idle speed at all (it may not even change it at all). I don't know what this switch does at this point as I expected a serious reduction in RPMs to help save gas (I was testing this with no load at all). It seems to be a very good generator. I just finished my 5 hour break-in period and changed the oil. Despite the disappointments above, I am hoping that overall it will prove itself to be a great unit.

Excellent Fit & Finish

Just received my new iGen12000TFC and got it unpacked and assembled. Build quality, fit, and finish is appears quite good. The iGen12000 has the pass through battery charging port and the 50amp breaker that a similar product from the yellow generator company lacks for roughly the same price. I look forward to testing out the iGen12000TFC and will update my review once I do.

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!!!

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

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.

Generator brownout killed my microwave &range hood

Do not think this is necessarily the fault of the generator, but when my home refrigerator started the generator sagged - aka brownout - and both my microwave and range hood electronics fried. The only load was the fridge with the microwave and range hood on the same circuit. Neither the microwave nor the range hood were in operation at the time but were on the same circuit. Unit is quiet, starts quickly. I have a similar one at home and have not had the same problem but the fridge is on it's own circuit there.
