Wow! So quiet!

This is my first generator and I need an inverter generator that I can hook up to my FoxESS solar battery to provide power in the event of an outage with low solar radiation. My experience of generators is largely limited to my nextdoor neighbours' Generac Whole Home generator, which is enough to wake the entire neighbourhood when it fires up. Not so with this inverter generator. It was so quiet. So, far, I'm really pleased!

Just received the generator

I just received the generator! Unboxing and setup was easy. I followed the online instructions on how to float the ground. I did that before adding the oil and starting it up. It ran right away on propane. I ran it for a few hours for break in and then plugged it into my electrical panel via a 50amp connection and it ran everything in the house that I needed it to, including my A/C unit. I do have a soft start on the A/C unit so it all worked as it should. Very pleased.

Quiet with lots of power!

I bought this generator a little over a month ago after I saw it advertised. I am so impressed with the relative quietness of this unit with this much power. With an EasyStart soft starter I had no problem using this to run my 3 ton AC compressor as well as just about everything else in the house. Having an auto-chock with remote start makes it so easy for my wife to start if needed, which is a huge plus when I'm away on business. I'm very pleased with my purchase and now I'm tempted to buy another one for the parallel capabilities, if I can only find one in stock! I think these are very popular right now because of the combination of power and quietness at this price.

Great Value in Class

With the winter coming up in the Pacific Northwest I was looking for a more capable generator that could power the whole house but yet was portable and came across this generator. I'm doing my research. I found this was Best in class compared to other inverter generators for its wattage and running watts. I couldn't pass up this deal. The setup was fairly easy. The instruction manual is very detailed. Definitely read it. Take your time and just pay attention to the instructions and you should have no problems. It started up on gas power, no problems but on propane it took a little bit I'd imagine probably has to cycle out the fuel for the gas to finally flow. Obviously make sure you got it on the correct setting.

Westinghouse iGen11000DFc

We bought this inverter so that when electric power is gone to the house we can receive electric power from the inverter. We would be concern if power is not restored for a long time. I am pleased with the quality of this inverter and will use it for other items needing power.

Easy Setup - Seamlessly handled 3000 sq ft home

I was looking for a portable generator to use for whole home backup that could run on propane and gasoline. This generator handled AC units, multiple fridges, lights, TVs, internet service and stayed mostly under 5Kw operations often as low as 1kw when AC was not running. I was concerned whether it could handle AC units kicking on. Handled it with ease. Ran for 5 hours on a single 20# propane tank. Ready for hurricane season with a 100# propane tank and some gasoline!

Product dimensions

I am interested in this generator but it would have to fit in a specific space. Is the a diagram that shows specific dimensions? I really am most interested to k ow of the 30.5L dimensions includes the folding handle. And is so, how long is the body of the generator without the handle?

Powerful clean option inverter generator

Purchased for the occasional troubling emergency usage. Dual fuel only intended for propane use. All parts came as described. Subtracted one star because the battery does not maintain charge and requires trickle charging. Not sure why since it did run for a few hours, but start up a week later had to do the charge of the battery. Also took off because the peg legs are burdensome is 187 pounds and quite heavy to roll. Four wheels much better option. Otherwise, started it up properly runs relatively quietly can take gasoline as well as propane, puts out adequate amount of wattage to run my entire house. I have adapted a whole house transfer switch to the breaker box and a line from the main propane feed to the generator to replace the portable so I never have to worry about running out of fuel. Unable to comment further until need to put it to actual use.

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.

So far I am largely impressed, but things to note

I bought this generator after deliberating long and hard. It was a tough purchase because it is a lot of money for something just used in the event of a hurricane. That said, so far I am pretty impressed, but there are a couple of items that should be brought up. The generator is built quite nice. It is definitely VERY heavy, but I feel like there was some thought and effort on the product. I like the covers on each side and how they latch. I really like how the oil drain was connected to a hose, as well as the carb gas drain (the gas drain was particularly nice). I really like all of the information provided on the panel, including the fuel level which is really nice. Some of the things that were disappointing considering the positives: 1. There is an oil filter on this unit. It is in the exact same place as the DFc model however there is some sort of big cylinder directly in the way in front of it. I am not sure what this is, but the DFc doesn't seem to have it from the videos I have seen, so I assume it has to do with the Natural Gas part of the unit. It is a little bit of a pain to remove as it requires a 10mm wrench and has limited movement. On such a well thought out generator, this seems to be a rushed item and makes the access to the filter a bit inconvenient. 2. This generator wasn't cheap but came with quite a bit of stuff. The one thing that it didn't come with that I was disappointed about was a cover. This was a HUGE miss. I plan on storing this in my garage and I am going to have to buy my own cover now. 3. It would be nice if the dipstick was magnetic to help keep the engine oil as clean as possible 4. The eco mode barely changes the idle speed at all (it may not even change it at all). I don't know what this switch does at this point as I expected a serious reduction in RPMs to help save gas (I was testing this with no load at all). It seems to be a very good generator. I just finished my 5 hour break-in period and changed the oil. Despite the disappointments above, I am hoping that overall it will prove itself to be a great unit.
