Great package and great features for the money

I bought this because I really wanted to try fuel capability. The rotary dial to select the fuel type is handy versus having to open the side of the machine and flip valves. Assembly was a piece of cake and only took a few minutes. I have not actually had to use it yet, but will post another review as soon as I do.

Great unit-nice operating and maintenance features

Just bought this and ran it for 2 hours to break in. Very impressed. All tools needed to assemble are high quality. Easy assembly. Much quieter than a regular generator, stable power, on-off switches/breaker for the 30R and 50R receptacles, covers for receptacles, remote start, displays gas fuel level and estimate of run time remaining. Also many nice features for ensuring it will work when needed and to ease maintenance such as included batter tender and port, attached oil drain hose, attached carburator bowl drain hose. Only minor complaint is that the wheels could be a little wider to ease rolling on my gravel driveway.

Westinghouse 11k inverter generator.

Bought the generator after a 31 hour power outage due to ice storm. High winds predicted for the next few days and we a more prepared for the outage. Assembly was simple easy, Connected propane tank and it started right up. Removing the ground/neutral ground was slightly different from the online instructions but simple enough. Neutral and ground wires on the back side of the ground bolt. removed the neutral and slid a piece of heat shrink tube over the eyelet, just in case I ever need to re-attach it. Read lots of reviews before purchase so I feel confident this will meet our needs.

Reliable so far, 250hrs in

3 oil changes and 250 hrs so far. Spark plug still in great shape and filter looks clean. I've used propane exclusively. managed to get just up to 8000 watts draw. impressive. I sometimes do have it trip, if im charging lithium battery bank at 5000w plus add another cross-load of 500w+. I guess that is reasonable though. This generator has a _3_ stage regulator. The usual 2 stage + DUCAR 230179. The DUCAR part is usually mounted on generator frames. If you try to hard-line this generator or use a different regulator assembly, it will vent non-stop and fail to start. Solution was to keep this DUCAR DPRA part (Westinghouse 60490020), by disconnecting the 2 stage regulator bits. Then you can use the 3/8 flare to connect to a 1000L torpedo tank (with normal 0.5psi reg). Despite the name, its not a hi/low side regulator, but It acts as a "vacuum" for the carburetor.

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.

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.

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.

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!
