Worth the wait, a great generator!

I was looking for a quality brand generator that'll run my whole house, including the air conditioner and well pump. I didn't want a “whole-house” built in unit that I wouldnt be able to take with me if we moved to a different home again. So far the Westinghouse iGen11000DFc is up to the task. The key features I was looking for included: will run on at least dual fuel, 50amp hookup, and parallel capabilities. The Westinghouse had all of these. The unit is very heavy but was easy to set up and get running. I haven't had a power outage yet to run the unit for extended hours but it has run flawless during all my testing and has powered everything Ive asked of it. Because of the inverter, I no longer have issues running my built in microwave which would error-out using my older/smaller generator. I'm confident I'll be ready if the power does go out. The only feature I wish this unit had would be the tri-fuel option, that would be awesome. So far this generator has been great!

Easy setup, just heavy for one person.

Receive generator yesterday (two days after ordering). Received in good condition. Installed wheels, pads, oil and handle. Connected battery. Very sturdy, but heavy. Will start after receiving fuel. Can expand review after starting and running the generator but expect it to operate well.

HAPPY SO FAR

Just received today. Hooked up propane and it took some time to start but was expecting that with propane and being new. Auto choke was the issue, I believe. Following break in procedures, hopefully everything will go as planned. Runs quiet and smooth.

Good but sloppy build

Just received the rev2 with a build date of 3/2024. Before starting it up I ran through some basic inspections and the assembly. First the assembly. One wheel could not be installed because the bolt diameter was too big. It measured just over 5mm while the other measured about 4.8mm. The bearing that it went through measured 5mm exactly. I have to file down the bolt shaft to go through the wheel. Next, some basic checks. I pulled the spark plug to check the gap. It measured about 0.020" but the spec was 0.024-0.032" or something like that. I reset the gap and reinstalled. Then I removed all the other panels for inspection. The panel over the exhaust port had a stripped out screw put into the metal clip and was stuck in with loctite. I had to remove the loctite and retap it. All of the plastic parts that held the metal retraining clips show white stress marks. The sound-dampening foam was poorly placed and covered the vent holes so I had to reposition it. The gasket on the air filter was in pieces instead of a continuous piece. The corners were pulled too tight and the gasket had to overlap itself. It was misaligned and pulled partially off when I removed the cover. The plugs on the connector panel were all misaligned, and none lined up straight. I haven't started it up yet but will do so tomorrow. Hopefully all goes well. the generator seems solid with just some sloppy assembly.

Powerful Inverter Generator

Seems well made. I like that an Automatic Transfer Switch ("ST" optional unit) can be easily added. Added oil, but the flexible funnel that was supplied has smaller size threads that won't screw into the oil fill opening..... Nice that two quality wrenches were supplied with the unit, to attach the wheels, legs, and handle. Started right up on gasoline, ran some break-in time using two 1500W heaters. Seems to be pretty quiet for such a large generator. Have not yet tried propane. A Parts diagram was supplied, noticed that this engine has a balance shaft, and an oil pump. I suppose, because of the pump, it has forced lubrication (versus splash), which is a nice feature. The Parts diagram is missing the piston and connecting rod, it needs updating.

So Quiet

We just installed this at our 550 sqft. cabin, replacing a 13K commercial generator that was getting old. I'm so amazed at how silent this unit is. It has been running our cabin with no issue thus far, but will really need to test it over the coming months. I have high hopes!

Outstanding Generator

We bought this generator about a week ago for a home backup unit and we're happy we did. We would highly recommend this generator to anyone. It was packaged very well and came with easy setup instructions. We're also very impressed with how quiet the unit is.

iGen11000DFc

Picked up this inverter generator today. set up was very easy. Will fire it up when time permits. Need to be able to run it for a few hours for break in. Did a lot of research before deciding on the Westinghouse brand. Had a lot less negative comments then others along with lots of positive comments.

great invertor

Just got this and doing the break in period. So far easy directions and started right up. run 25 % load for break in period. Easy access to the sides and the oil change should be a breeze since they have a hose to empty the oil. I wish the % load lights and the fuel lights would be a little brighter.

So Far, So Good

Boght this a few weeks ago as replacement for my CAT 5500. I wanted a quieter solution with enough power to run my 3 1/2 TON Home AC. I'm still running the break-in. But so far, I'm impressed. Setup was pretty easy and takes about 30 minutes or less.
