I live in CA and have had numerous power outages due to the fires. I got this to power most of my house to include a 5-ton AC so we wouldn't be uncomfortable during the summer if the power goes out. To use AC, you will need a soft start, but very easy to install and better for your AC anyway. Also important to us was the noise level since we live in a neighborhood. For the size this is very quiet.

I just purchased the Westinghouse igen11000 tri fuel for our rv and home back up power. Set up was easy, only assembly was to install the wheels/chalks and add oil/fuel. Will test it out next weekend on our boon-docking trip, excited to see how it holds up on a 2 a/c rv set up!

I bought this generator less than a month ago and have only used it for the 5 hour break-in period. It's very quiet and seems to be very well built. Performed very well. Would have given 5 stars, but I haven't used it under an emergency situation.

I bought this because I run a home business and travel a lot, and needed a powerful inverter generator for my electronics. The generator itself does a great job and has saved me on more instances I can count. That said, the documentation is really poor and there isn't a lot of information online about the product.

4 stars instead of 5 because I haven't even started it yet. A lot of flexibility in terms of functionality, although it's for backup for hurricane season, so I hope I never need to use it. Assembly instructions could be written much more clearly and a parts list would have been helpful, but so far so good.

Seems like solid build. Works as expected. One little thing about recoil start. Too much resistance. So, I would like to say recoil start is only for real emergency start,when the battery dead. I realized that happens because the engine is pretty powerful and has relatively big displacement. So consider this and keep the battery charged by included charger. I already have 3.5 kwt generator, it was alright for short outages, i could keep running my fridge,boiler and heat,watch tv. However it was not powerful enough for AC and stove range. This unit produces 9 kwt. I can use it for stove and AC. My old central AC consumes a lot of starting amps and generator switches of power because of overload,but its not a big issue for me. I'm planning to install a new mini split invertor ac. Also, i can install a soft start for my old one. Over all i'm happy of purchase.

I got this setup and I'm very happy with the quality of this unit. It is powering my 5 ton AC unit on propane along with the other general electrical in my house just fine. Quiet when low load and even when load goes up it's not very loud considering it's size. A lot of nice quality of life things like toolless entry. One thing that is a bit of a problem is the CO sensor, it's too sensitive. I have it in the same spot I ran my old generator in for over 500 hours and the CO sensor was triggering. I was able to disable it but that seems to have also disabled my remote start. I wish they had an override switch on all of the CO sensors on these units as this is a common problem. Too many stupid people I guess running their generators indoors or near a window. Hopefully this unit proves to be as reliable as my last Briggs one!

I had a raw power westinghouse that ran the whole hous eincluding the hot tub, but did not fit the right HZ/volt range to charge my solar generator unless under a certain load. This one did the trick. Charges it no matter the load condition It is very quiet and starts up every time. The Propane function is also very cool. Get a Westinghouse inverter generator, you will not be disappointed.

This is my 4th Westinghouse generator. Had a minor problem with the first and was fixed under warranty very quickly. Never had another problem. Bought a pair of iGen5000 so that I could parallel them on my RV and worked wonderfully. Purchased the iGen 11000TFc for home backup. Have not had a chance to fire it up yet as I have a lot of projects going on but I have full faith that this gen set will serve me well.

I haven't had an opportunity to run this generator in a power outage scenario yet, however I did test it out and found that it's compact, quiet and produces clean power output that doens't negatively affect sensitive sinewave UPS units, which has been a problem with non-inverter generators. Very happy so far.
