I bought this model after buying the 16,000 Inverter duel fuel. I bought this for a back up if needed and to run my shop. The 11,000 runs my shop complete with office 2 head mini splits, My camera system, My alarm, Electric gates, Lighting in office and shop, Refrigerator in shop and my RV one a/c, refrigerator and outdoor kitchen refrigerator. I can shut down these items and plug in large air compressor if needed for large trucks. This unit is very quiet running wide open. Couldn't be happier.
This generator (XP11000iH) has been a great so far. It is quite compact, and well insulated to dampen noise. The manual is well written, so it was a breeze to prepare it for the winter storm season, and it was easy to drain the fuel after the storm season ended.
The electronic start (with remote) works well, and the sound level while running is quite reasonable, especially for the engine size. I don't have to worry about the noise level affecting my neighbors overnight.
Although I haven't yet used the secondary fuel option (propane), I'm super happy to have the option to fall back on the house propane tank in case of an extended power outage or local gas shortage.
I was worried that a generator so large would be much louder than it is, when providing mild power to the home it is so crazy quiet, and when our air kicks on it goes a bit louder for a moment but only when starting our 3.5 ton air unit, and after the air kicks in, it goes back to just a smooth whisper. And it runs everything we need in an outage, We have tested only on propane as we have a few days worth on that and it will keep the carb clean, have not used gas yet, but it will be more powerful on liquid gas and so far very pleased about that.
I bough this for my food trailer, after struggling with a previous one I decided to go all in on this one. It was strongly recommended so I didn’t hesitate. The packaging is great and arrived in great shape. The first time set up is greatly detailed along with pictures. It’s very sleek, and everything is labeled Excited to install
Great generator but has a problem right out of box

Finally got around to unboxing the generator and followed the set up directions. When I started it, i immediately discovered the control panel reads zeros. Tried resetting it by unplugging the battery for a few minutes but that did not change anything. Very disappointing
