Just Perfect

I had researched and found this was the product which matched everything I wanted, however it was out of stock, with a terrible year for hurricanes and winter coming I didn't expect to get one. Other generators were available but lacked the build quality, price and dependability I had researched. I was prepared to wait and glad I did because a month later this generator was back in stock. Setup was a breeze, started up no problem. The no tool access panels are awesome which will make maintenance a breeze. It's heavy but that was expected, however the handle and wheels maneuver it with ease. I have no more worries for Maine winters, this was my first ever generator purchase and very very pleased. I also purchased the Igen Tent, good to go! The bonus cover will make this product complete

Easy to use Gererator

from Pinellas Park, FL
I highly recommend this Westinghouse inverter generator having used a standard model generator previously during power outage. I find using this one so much easier! It’s quieter, efficient and powers my whole house. Assembly was fast and simple.

Appears well built.

from South Carolina
I just picked up the generator a few days ago. It appears well built and after some easy assembly, wheels, handle, connecting the battery, and adding the included oil. I did a test run using propane. The generator started easily and ran smoothly. I was happy with the low noise level, this is an important issue for me. I started the generator with the fob, by push button and by manual pull cord, no problems. I placed a light load on the generator and it continued to run smoothly and quietly. My early impression is very good I would recommend this generator.

Sturdy and solid

Features I wanted (prioritized in order), which I found on this iGen11000DFc generator:
An "inverter" generator (to get THD or Total Harmonic Distortion under 3%)
A "Dual Fuel" generator (to run either Propane or Gasoline)
An electric start (from a battery) with "recoil" or manual start option
Size: Something close to 10,000 watts (or 10KW) to easily handle any one circuit in our home (hot water heater, electric range, electric clothes dryer, etc.)
Transfer switch ready (so I can "plug the house into it")
Able to deliver 240 Volt circuits (required to be able to "plug the house into it")
Bonus feature: The "c" in the model name for Westinghouse indicates it has a carbon monoxide shutoff feature - to shut down if carbon monoxide levels from the exhaust get dangerous around it.

Packaging was great. Assembly was easy. Adding oil was made easy with supplied funnel, etc. Started it up yesterday (on propane) - took two tries to get it to start. The second try, it started but ran very rough, misfiring regularly. Let it do that for a minute or two, then shut it off. Started it again and it started right up and ran smooth. I proceeded to test it over the next 80 minutes, hooked it to our home with a 50 amp cord, and tried various circuits in the home including a heat pump, fridge, freezer, computers with monitors, TV, etc. - all worked fine. Ran the house on it for a while. My wife forgot it was on and started the electric dryer even. No issues whatsoever. The generator handled them all just fine and behaved like it was just idling to do it - it never seemed to strain or struggle. I then disconnected it from the house and started it multiple times, different ways, with the key fob, even pulling the cord (which took two pulls to start it). Every time it seemed to work just great!
Downside that I saw only after reviewing the manual in detail - it says that it's not good at cold temps with the included oil (cold meaning below 23 degrees F). I want this for winter in Maine. So, I plan to change the oil out to the recommended 5W-30 synthetic oil for cold temps sometime after the burn in period - but the manual says to use the included oil until the generator is used sufficient to get it through a normal motor burn in of about 5 hours (as I understand it from reviewing the manual).
Would I recommend - "yes". Bonus - it was quieter than I expected it to be. That's why my wife forgot it was even running and started the dryer in our home - she didn't even notice it was still on from inside our well-insulated home.

Very Nice Package

Just pick it up, check it out really well, made sure everything was connected properly. I compared it with every name brand on the market and read a lot of reviews and watch lots of videos from different sources and over all this was the best choice for me. Have not had time to run or break it in yet, But I'm sure it will be just fine. Have a few more connections to make on power input to my house so I can test it out the way I plan to use it. Will update later if possible.

The Powerful Stealth Generator
on November 6, 2024
Posted by: USAF Guy
from Florida
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.
