Trifuel, 50amp receptacle

Have help unpacking this beast it's heavy and awkward seems how they couldn't be bothered to just install the wheels and handle at the factory. Seems good but no idea about its longevity. Too early to tell after only 2 tenths of an hour of run time. It's not as quiet as I had hoped and it should have come with a quick connect adapter for propane instead of having to screw the hose on all the time. It's big, it's heavy, and it's bulky. Time will tell how it holds up.

Excellent for backup power.

Purchased couple months ago and will use for whole home power during power outages. Everything was there for easy setup and after fueling with gas unit started right up. I have done test run and unit performed flawlessly under load. Would recommend for anyone looking for reliable backup power.

Had an interlock installed on our breaker at our house and upgraded to this generator. Test ran it for a couple hours to start the break in process per the manual and ran great and is surprisingly quiet for such a large generator. Manual is easy to follow and understand.

Assembly error found during inspection/assembly

Generator appears well made. I can't speak yet about how it runs, as I have not run the unit yet. During assembly and inspection today, I did find a factory assembly error. The fuel line from the fuel tank thru the fuel filter to the front panel shutoff was routed under the pull starter rope so that the rope was in constant contact with the fuel line. Any time the rope starter was used, or the generator was running and there was vibration, the rope could abrade the rubber fuel line. I believe this would eventually cause the rubber fuel hose to fail and allow the fuel tank to drain to the inside of the Generator housing resulting in a fire. I have corrected my generator. I disconnected the fuel line and rerouted below the pull starter rope and reconnected. This results in an adequate air gap between the hose and the rope. No physical changes were made to the fuel line length, reroute only, and now there is no concern with abrasion of the fuel line. How many more generators were assembled like mine, that may eventually result in a fuel leak and a fire?

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.

Awesome generator

Just bought this generator after the 2026 ice storm where we were without power for 5 days. Have a couple of smaller generators we used to power heaters, charge phones, etc. plan for this one is to add the connections to be able to selectively run all critical circuits during power failures.

The Powerful Stealth Generator

I finally upgraded to an inverter generator. As the tag says "powerful"; I have enough wattage to run my 5-Ton A/C unit without a soft start, most kitchen appliances and sensitive electronics. Stealthy, my current open frame generator recorded 95.3 DB at 1 ft from the panel side and the Igen 11000DFc recorded 77.7 DB under the same conditions. At 23ft away at idle, my open frame generator recorded 76.4 DB from the exhaust side and the Igen 11000DFc under the same conditions recorded 65 DB. This is the best generator on the market for me because of the raw power and quietness.

iGen11000TFc worth the price

Recently purchased iGen11000TFc in anticipation of power outages in the NorthEast. Very easy to assemble wheels and handle with provided tools and instructions. Started on 1st try using push button start. Great product and can't wait to try it out!

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.

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
