Just purchased this generator/inverter today

Just picked up this unit. I was amazed on the packaging. Very well thought out. Very simple to install the necessary parts. I'm running propane primarily. Once I added the oil and turned the motor over several times, the motor started up and the quietness has shocked me. It being a large unit and all. My purchase of this unit is for my 40' 50 amp travel trailer when I'm off the grid.

Igen11000DFc

I just took delivery of an IGen11000DFc which is an upgrade from an IGen4500. The 4500 ran for 10 straight hours last week without any issue and got us through Hurricane Milton. We upgraded only because we needed 240 volt support to run our new septic pump .Everything was very tidy with the new unit. I like the no-screw side panels which easily come off. The oil drain hose was a pleasant surprise as I had added one to my IGen4500. I hooked up the battery, swapped the spark plug for an NGK and I'll add a magnetic drain plug as soon as it comes in the mail. I've been through 2 hours of no load break in without issue followed by an oil change. Tomorrow will be a partially loaded run. After that, I'll test it connected to the house. We added an Easystart on our AC, so I'm interested to see how the Igen works with it. These inverter/generators rock!

So far so good

I recent purchased this generator to prepare for hurricane season here in Florida. The dual fuel is a most when the gas stations run dry almost immediately. I purchased several propane tanks for the inevitable fuel shortage and LPG lasts almost forever. This inverter generator is significantly more quiet then my old generator and sends to be slight more fuel efficient so far. I can't speak for it its longevity as I have not had it long or stressed it yet.

Started Right Up

Just got this generator and fired it up for the first time after filling the oil. Instructions easy to follow and it started right up. Let it run for 15 minutes and it hummed right along. Easy to move and rolled well on gravel. Using it for emergency power for the house and will do a power-over check in a couple of days to check everything out and prepare for a power down situation in a couple of weeks….so far, so good.

So far, So good with one small quirk.

Assembled and started up first try. Quiet and stable running for this size equipment. Appears good quality. Average set of instructions. Only quirk I have found is that after starting with auto start and shutting down, it would not start with the manual pull cord. Tried numerous times. I found that after charging the battery to capacity, it started first pull. My thinking is that pull starting should be the work around for a dead battery. A generator should not require a charged battery to pull start. Maybe I need to review the instructions.

Started right up

The iGen11000Dfc was well packaged and started easily on gasoline. I have not tried LPG. The unit appears to be well built. The unit is heavy and I suggest having a helper to unload and unpackage. Documentation needs improved. The manual refers to turning the fuel control switch to off, but there is no switch. Other then improvements needed in documentation I am pleased with the unit so far.

Well made and quiet

Bought it yesterday and had no issues assembling it this morning. I appreciated that the necessary tools were included and the instructions were clear. I’m running it at 25% load on propane to break it in, and will vary the load during the first 5 hours as recommended. Right now I’m using a 20-pound propane tank but will later run it off my bulk propane tank. It is quiet relative to the power output though I still plan to use a sound box to reduce the noise further. I have an off-grid cabin that uses a modest photovoltaic system to provide electric power; this generator will serve as a Level 2 electric car charger for trips when we arrive in our all-electric vehicle. So far I am very pleased with this purchase and expect that it will reliably provide the power I need. Once I have a connection to my bulk propane tank the cost to charge my car will be less than the cost to use commercial Level 3 charging stations.

As Advertised

My purchase of the iGEN11000DFc has been an excellent little investment. The generator works as advertised; the first push-to-start was as simple as the 2-second instructions. It was much quieter than expected, as well. I was afraid of running something that sounded like my pressure washer, but this generator was quiet enough to have conversations while within feet of the idling generator.

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.

This generator has all the features I wanted

Bought this late last month and finally started it today after the inverter generator and all the cables arrived. Everything matched what I expected from the advertising. Two small annoyances were (1) a funnel that did not screw in correctly making it difficult to use and (2) an inconsistency in giving different names to the "start/stop" or "battery" switch. Cranked and ran fine today on propane.
