After hurricane Helene I had plenty of time to research generators while being without power for 9 days. I knew I wanted an inverter generator after borrowing a small one from a neighbor. The igen11000dfc checked all the boxes for me. Quality of the unit after unpacking and assembly is excellent - initial impression. I plan to break it in per instructions, and then see how well it does powering my home.

Specs look good. I have not used it yet. I am forced to write this review in order to receive the bonus item. The only thing I wish it did better is to have 9600 running watts. That would allow me to fully utilize the 14-50 outlet at 80% (40 amp) continuous load into the 50 amp inlet circuit.

This is our first generator, and set up, manual, operations were all very easy to understand. We have had it a week and it is performing great. We are using it to power a barn/workshop for now, but anticipate also using as a back up power supply for our off grid solar powered home.

I needed to replace an Open Frame Generator. Purchased to primarily as a back-up power source. This is a large frame iGen and is very quiet considering the size. At 9K rated wattage, this is more than adequate to power my essential circuits during a power outage. Dedicated 50A outlet, selectable Dual fuel with parallel capability makes this unit the perfect Inverter Gen for my needs.

AFTER DOING DAYS OF RESEARCH OMLINE AND YOUTUBE I FINALLY MADE UP MY MIND ... THE MINIMAL ASSEMBLE WAS VERY EASY CAME WITH A SPECIAL SIZE BOTTLE OF OIL WITH THE EXACT AMOUNT WHICH IS SLIGHTLY OVER A QUART PUT EXACTLY 2 GALLONS OF GAS IN IT AND RAN 2 FANS ANS A FEW LIGHTS ON IT AT ROUGHLY 25% LOAD FOR 5.2 HOURS AND IT STILL HAS GAS IN IT IN FACT IT RAN OVER A HOUR AFTER THE GUAGE SAID IT WAS EMPTY AND IT NEVER RAN OUT NOT SURE HOW MUCH IS LEFT IN IT ... IT LITERALLY STARTED UP THE FIRST TIME AS IF IT HAD JUST BEEN TURNED OFF SO FAR IM AMAZED THIS IT MY FIRST GENERATOR IVE EVER BOUGHT AT 48 YEARS OLD LOL IM GOING TO RUN IT OUT OF FUEL IN A FEW DAYS AND STORE IT IN MY GARAGE HOOKED UP TO THE INCLUDED TRICKLE CHARGER AND WAIT FOR THE TIME TO COME WHEN I NEED IT IN THE NEXT HURICANE OR MAYBE A FREEZE IF POWER IS LOST

Just finished the assembly and initial start-up. Went together easily (although it is very heavy), and started it with the auto start button. I am only running propane as it will be used as a secondary generator at my off-grid property in northern Michigan. The unit looks and feels of high quality and so far I am impressed with the operating decibel level (especially compared to my legacy traditional generator(s)). Looking forward to a hopefully long future of usage.

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.

This is a perfect inverter for house power backup. The dual fuel option is great! I added a line to connect to my 500 gallon propane tank so as to not have to worry about fuel during an outage. Being the inverter type, the unit is quite and only ramps up when it's needed. Will power everything I need to run!

We bought this generator to charge the battery system in our house as we live off the grid. It took care of the job in a timely manner, taking only 2 hours to fill our batteries from 63% to 100%. The Honda generator we had took 3 hours to fill the batteries. We bought a Westinghouse because we borrowed an old beat-up generator to tide us over, and it was a Westinghouse, still going strong after 15 years.

After some challenges figuring out the wattage to run our all electric food truck. we turned in 2 other generators and can run everything on our food truck at one time with this inverter. It also is quite quiet compared to a traditional generator even running everything.
