Tri Fuel Rocks!

Just purchased. Got everything hooked up to run on natural gas and so far I've just tested with NG. Looking forward to not having to worry about getting/keeping fuel and it going stale or gumming up the carb. I'm also happy to have the option for propane and gasoline in the unlikely event that NG is disrupted.

Very Pleased with the iGen11000TFc

I finally had the opportunity to use the generator for the first time and it worked perfectly. I ran it on LPG and used it for about 4 hours. For a generator it was very quiet. I like that the connections and controls are all on one side and the exhaust is on the other. It started like a champ on the first try. Very simple to use. Changing the oil was very easy. The generator has a drain tube that extends outside of the frame so it is very neat and efficient to drain the oil into a shallow pan. I used the recoil start as a test. It started on the second pull. Please note the manual choke is a black lever located inside the blue cover (remove the cover to find it) that has the recoil handle on it. It is located by the carburetor and air filter. Move the choke lever towards the front handle to close it (during a cold day, cold start) to start the motor and then open it again once the motor is running. I could not find the location of the choke lever in any of the supplied documentation. Note: you only need to worry about the choke if using the recoil start, otherwise the choke is controlled automatically when using the key fob or pushbutton start on the control panel. While running the generator, I was able to watch TV and charge my phone and tablet, so the inverter does its job well.

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.

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.

Initial experience very positive.

I can only comment on my initial experience. I received model# 11027 undamaged and ready for assembly. I read the manual, filled it with oil, connected it to propane, and it started easily and ran smoothly. So far, so good. Once I have my electrician wire up my transfer switch, I will test it under load and report back here with a more detailed review.

House Backup Power

I bought this generator to power my house during frequent storm outages. It runs the well pump, water heater, and a few other plug circuits with the refrigerator etc, and of course some lighting circuits. It is quiet and efficient for the size. I'm very pleased with the purchase. It is easy to float the neutral by flowing the pdf on the website. Additionally, I purchased the inverter generator tent and it works very well.

iGen11000TFc Inverter Generator

Packaging was excellent which gave confidence nothing was damaged. The generator was easy to assemble. We bought this to potentially be a whole home backup for power outages here in PA. It's easier to move around than I thought it would be with the never-flat wheels & the foldable handle. Looking forward to getting through the break in period to see how it handles our geothermal system.

iGen11000TFc - Very satisfied

I was debating between the iGen11000 and a similar competing product. What swayed me to the iGen was a significantly lower price, the 3 year warranty, and the included trickle charger. Overall it seems to be very well built. I found the minimal assembly (feet, wheels, and handle) to be quick and easy, especially with the included tools which were surprisingly good quality. Even though it's a fairly heavy machine, it was easy to roll in and out of my garage and down a pathway. I do have a small quibble with the included oil funnel. While it worked just fine, the plastic tube has threads and a rubber washer on the end that goes into the fill hole, presumably to prevent spills when filling. However the threads are much too small to engage the threads in the engine fill hole. Seems like an oversight. I decided to use propane for the initial startup and it started right up and ran smoothly. I hooked up a couple lights and a portable electric heater and everything worked as expected. The information display works fine and is easy to read. While running (eco mode off), I found the iGen11000 to be fairly quiet although just a little bit louder than I expected. Since this is my first generator and I didn't have a frame of reference I decided to check the sound level using a db app on my phone, which reported it to be around 66 db from 25 feet away, which is in line with the specs and other reviews I have seen. The remote fob works well when outside, but from inside my house it was a bit hit or miss. I also picked up a rain cover that will protect the electronics from inclement weather. Overall I am very satisfied with my new iGen11000TFc and am confident that it will meet my needs during any future power outages.

Looks Great! Runs Great!

Seems High Quality. Set up and maintenance paperwork are clear. I've only ran it on gasoline. It's only been used about 12 hours. But it has ran great, starts great. Display screens are helpful on the generator. Overall I'm very happy with the purchase so far but I'm just letting you know I haven't ran it for long periods for back up power yet but so far I'm very happy.

easy to put together, wheels, front pads and handl

earlier review of 4 stars, now I would like to give 5 stars, very quiet and found the Westinghouse video on making the ground floating neutral to plug into transfer switch, ran the break in of 5 hours without setting off the co sensor which was one of concerns, absolutely love it now !!!!
