powerful little blue machine!

Nice! Bought it for the gas power, but added ability to use natural or propane. Really like how the push button start goes thru cycles, tho it would have been nice to have a little more explanation on how that works in conjunction with the choke. After the learning curve, started right up and hasn't skipped a beat!

Excellent home backup generator!

I'm extremely happy with this Westinghouse generator. It's very well built, easy to assemble, and straightforward to use right out of the box. During a power outage it had no problem powering my house, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I was also impressed that even the included tools are solid and useful, not cheap throw-ins. On top of all that, I received a free upgrade to the tri-fuel version, which made an already great purchase even better. Highly recommend this generator for reliability, quality, and overall value.

Very satisfied

I've had it for about 3 months now. It's done everything I need it to at a very quiet noise level. I can hold a conversation with someone standing right next to it at max decibel output. I have a food trailer and wasn't able to get into certain events because my last generator was so loud. I'm able to get into every event with a noise decibel restriction now.

Out of the box no real hours yet

Pros: Quiet, compact many features starts easily Cons: Low ground clearance due to short stabilizer feet and small "mower-like" wheels, which anticipate having problems moving it out of garage in any amount of snow. No way to keep Igentent cover on and use the handle which is ridiculous. Unit should have support side bars for cover that wont interfere with gauges muffler or handle! Kevlar strap covers muffler as no way to put lower due to taper of housing. Manual not accurate of many counts, No oil drain nut to remove has attached hose with plastic cap tucked behind wiring. Oil fill funnel has threads which are useless as wrong threads requires holding tight to avoid leaks. Total gasoline capacity in instructions says "1.1 liters" really? Battery indicator light simply displays on no way to tell if low. Rubber caps to protect outlets not heavy duty and require pressing from top to bottom carefully to ensure proper fit. After adding more hours to united connect it to power inlet box will update

Amazing Generator

I bought this on Dec 2 and received it on Dec 4 via a semi truck. I live on a farm in MO and we get a lot of weather that can knock out power. This generator gives me and my family peace of mind that we can continue daily life in the event of a long time power outage. Very easy to assemble the stabilizer feet and wheels. Super easy to move even though it weighs over 200 pounds.Ir has more than enough power to do everything I need it to be able to do. Well worth the money!

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.

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!

Absolute Beast!

This Westinghouse generator is built like a tank! Very straightforward setup right out of the box. Everything you need to get started is included, they even supply a sturdy box wrench to attach the wheels! Kudos to the person who decided to send a container of oil that perfectly fits the specified capacity of the oil reservoir, making it a no non-sense "spill free" fill up! I purchased this especially for the "tri-fuel" capability. This bad boy fired right up within seconds of attaching it to a fresh propane tank. I was impressed with the noise level even without the "eco" mode activated. The included remote control start "fob" and trickle charger were the icing on the cake. It even has a dedicated port for the external battery charger so you don't have to open up the engine cover to connect to the battery terminals when "trickle" charging! All around great design by Westinghouse on this one. We will have to wait and see how difficult it is to change the oil after a few hours of break in time, but so far I am impressed. This is my third generator purchase after previously owning an open frame "old school" model generator and a smaller inverter style generator over the last 25 years. Obviously it hasn't been "battle tested" yet, but I'm confident with my purchase. Hope this review helps others make an informed decision.

Westinghouse IGEN11000TFc

I bought this generator in preparation for power outages like the extended outage incurred from hurricane Helene. I have not used the unit yet but the design seems well engineered and I can only hope construction and quality of materials is up to the same standard of excellence. I look forward to first fire.

Quiet and powerful

I was using another brand of generator before, but it stopped working with gasoline after only a few months. After comparing different options, I chose Westinghouse invert generator. As soon as I received it, I couldn't wait to try it out, and it truly surprised me. It's very quiet, and the load is manageable. The power supply is stable enough, and the generator is well-built and heavy enough.
