So quiet!!!

I know the description said it was quiet, but I was just expecting a little quieter than a normal (non-inverter) generator, but this was way quieter! I started it up and was immediately surprised how quiet it was. My wife didn't even hear it from inside the house. I have a much smaller inverter generator, and this is MUCH quieter than that. I've even included a little video just to demonstrate how quiet it is. I mean seriously! I think you're underestimating the quietness... For some reason, the Add Video option won't take the link, saying it's invalid, but here it is: https://youtu.be/fVnb9pfPDpc

Very useful and great generator

Ultra-quiet operation. Effortlessly powers the whole house without any issues. Setup was simple and straightforward. Bought this generator to prepare for an ice storm and heavy winds—and it turned out to be a great decision since we lost power twice for more than three days each time. It kept everything running without a hitch. It started up easily every time, and the large wheels made it very easy to move around.

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.

Haven't used it yet

As I said, haven't used it yet. Put it together serviced it filled the oil. Set it up in my shed. Start it up just fine. Rent it for a few minutes to make sure everything was all right. Went out this morning to start it. 32° wouldn't start cranked popped wouldn't start possible low battery. I have got the charger on it now. I will know better once it's charged

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.

Quality build, low THD, Tri-fuel capability

Have been looking to move from a non inverted to inverted type generator to power sensitive electronics during power failures for some time. After doing a lot of research decided to go with the Westinghouse igen11000tfc. The 11000tfc has the power needed to run lights, pumps, appliances and furnace with power to spare for a workshop and garden shed. This model with the tri-fuel capability gives peace of mind for natural gas from the utility as large storms may limit gasoline availability. Very quiet unit!

First generator, happy so far

Good so far. I knocked a star off because I stripped out the bolt hole on one of the handle brackets during assembly. The bolt pulled every thread out of the bracket. It didn't require too much effort to do, the bracket appears to be a cast aluminum. I ran a smaller bolt through and secured it with a nut to keep the handle on and that appears to be holding just fine.

Nice inverter generator from a reputable company

Easy setup. Necessary tools are kindly provided. Started up on first try. Great price for a quality product from Westinghouse. One issue. For home backup the neutral is bonded to the frame and must be changed to a floating neutral. This is not explained in the manual. There is a Service bulletin for the procedure, however, it should be in the manual. It's dangerous to connect 2 neutral bonded sources together.

Runs like it's fueled by Freedom

Bought this bad boy a month ago, and I swear it's been the MVP of my work. Starts up easier than my coffee maker, runs quieter than my neigbor's gossip, and powers everything like it's training for the apocalyse. I've used it for all the jobs. If this thing had a dating profile, I'd swipe right every time.

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.
