This WestingHouse seems really nice. It's impressive how this brand seems to have really good fuel consumption compared to other generators in its power class.
The good thing about IGEN generators is you can get after market natural gas regulators that hook up to the propane hook up and you don’t have to change anything in the generator itself.
@@rohitshrivastava4742 so, I called Nash before I purchase to clarify some questions I had and they never said any thing to that effect. In fact they said the good thing about the Igen 4300 was the fact that you do not have to take apart any line inside the unit for connecting the NG reg, you just connect to the front of the unit. I have yet to run it on NG, now you have me worried. 😂
@@kevinr5187 might work on the 4500. It’s my 11000 I am worried about. There’s a video on RUclips from this guy called Rob, it’s 4 years old. He converted his 4500df to natural gas. I will try to find the name of the channel
Another great video I am wondering, which one do you think is the best one between the Westinghouse 11,000 dual fuel and the duromax 11,000 dual fuel I would be interested in seeing a battle between the two to see which one performs the best thank you for the videos you put out and all the good information.

Hello I'm seeking some assistance for myself and other on our island who were greatly affected by hurricane beryl . We're completely devastated by this hurricane and need help . We're asking for donations of portable power station etc so we can be able to keep our phones charged , have light etc. because we're currently without electricity and water we've lost everything except our life and so we would be grateful if you can assist us . We have person collecting items to ship to us , so if you're willing to donate and might not be able send it directly to us here in st Vincent and the Grenadines they would be able to. Thank you in advance!
I've dealt with Westinghouse customer service support on my 15K DF. It was maybe the worst experience I've ever had. Oil leaks upon opening generator box, bad clamps, missing legs, wrong lifting bar, GFI shorted out, and all with an inspection sticker. They literally shipped it like this and wanted me to load it up and drive it 3 hours round trip to the service center. So it would have been 6 hours for 2 trips, all for the "Inspected" generator to get fixed. This took weeks for me to ship the POS back. I even got their answering service, who told me he heard a buch of complaints about the Westinghouse customer service. NEVER again!
Had my df9500 for years. No problems. Ran it full load several times for hours. Only maintenance start it monthly no fuel stabilizer but 92 fuel. You got a lemon maybe.
Hey Gavin, thanks for all your great videos. Would you be able to do a runtime comparison between this generator and a competitor such as the similar Duramax inverter. I’m very curious to see how fuel efficient they are particularly on propane.
After a terrible bomb cyclone I am researching generators and had decided on this one....except I have heard terrible things about their customer service. AND...I hope you can answer a few questions...how many hours does the battery last? Do i have to keep charging the battery after every use? Do I need to replace the battery after some time? Thank you for your video!!
Any idea on decibels? Im trying to sneak it past the hoa because living in Puerto Rico is a pain in the ass with our grid and this would fit perfectly in our outdoor terrace.
Beware of Westinghouse Customer Service! My new Wgen9500df on 9/25/24 worked fine for Milton power outage but would not start 3 days later for oil change and Customer Service was a nightmare. Opened a case # online, received email next day saying to expect slow hurricane response but an expert would respond…2 weeks later no response. Called again and was told they were escalating and someone will call…no one called. Repeated that 4 days in a row since Nov 1 and still no response. This is awful.
Mine isn’t loud. I don’t have a way to measure it. Bought it at Home Depot $1999 plus tax. I didn’t try running my AC with it. It’s a 5 ton unit. But it ran my house with no issues at all. I have a 50 amp inlet setup on my house.
Nice! Ended going with the Duromax 11000iH ....FYI you might need a better microphone the sound is not great especially for those on headphones. Thanks
gavin is it normal for a brief puff of white smoke from from a new generator when start up and turn off choke? Or also when going from eco mode ‘on’ to eco ‘off’?
WEN GNA200 is the M20 magnetic dipstick - I have 14 hours on this so far using Royal Purple break in oil and I changed out the CCP Torch plug for an NGK iridium plug (NGK Iridium IX Spark Plug - 3903). Be CAREFULL when you change out the spark plug and use a socket that holds on to the plug. I can almost get 'lost' in the metal shroud that surrounds the plug hole. I also put in a 14AWG SAE DC Power Automotive Connector Cable Y Splitter on the line between the lithium starting battery and the generators charging line. This will enable me to use a different lithium approved trickle charger if I want. Keep in mind that if this battery dies, you will NOT be able to start this generator in any way. While breaking in the generator, I did notice that there were not many metal shavings in the oil when I changed it out at 9 hours (I'll keep break in oil in it until it hits 25 hours) and will follow Westinghouse's advice to switch over to a full synthetic when its broken in. I'll use Amsoil small engine oil or Royal Purple to have extra zinc/phosphorus in it for extra protection and since it does not have a catalytic converter to clog up. the Generator has a nice fit and finish. I think that the extra oil screen filter is great, but they need to put it in the user manual. It takes a 12mm socket to get it loose. The oil is easy to drain with their set up, but I will still use an Automotive Fluid Extractor Pump, Oil Change Syringe with Hose, Manual Fuel Suction & Filler, Fluid Oil Change Evacuator (Amazon). The side panels come on and off easily. My complaint is that the transport bar rattles and makes noise when the generator is running. To give myself extra 120-volt outlets, I'm using a NEMA L14-30P to Four 5-20R/ 5-15R & L14-30R Generator Adapter Extension Cord, 4 Prong Twist Locking Generator 30 amp to 15 Amp/20 Amp 30 Amp Generator Power Cord from Mecmo (Amazon). The user manual is easy to read and Westinghouse has the spare parts online at parts.wpowereq.com/inverter/igen11000dfc/ When you get the remote key fob, remember to take it apart to remove the film that blocks the contacts to preserve the battery until it gets used. I like its digital display. I am using only propane, and it starts up on the 2nd automatic start after hitting the start button.
huh, it wont start with the pull method if the battery is dead? what's the point of the pull start then? Do you know if you use the pull starter you have to manually adjust the choke?
Hi, I enjoyed watching your video and would like to ask you a question. I live in Florida and during the last storm (Milton hurricane), I lost power for three days. My house has the connection that allows for my 12k/15k gas generator (not an inverter generator) to provide power to the whole house. The problem was that during the power outage, the refrigerator would not cool the contents even though the light would come on when the door was opened. I did some research and it seems that the refrigerator does not “like” the electricity generated by my generator. Do you think that the Westinghouse inverter generator in your video could resolve this problem/issue? Thanks! Paul
Yes, the inverter generator is what you need to solve your problem. You can also check out the Genmax gm10500, which is already floating neutral for your home
Great into, looking forward to the load tests. I noticed you called out it’s “Bonded to Frame”, can this be converted to floating for home backup use (inlet box, not transfer switch)? Thanks for all the great video reviews Gavin!
@@MrBritrider Yep, and in contradiction the unit’s control panel has printed on it “Bonded to Frame”. Someone on Reddit tested and confirmed it’s bonded. Westinghouse support has not responded to anyone on that thread with anything useful.

Thanks for reviewing this generator. This is one of two I am looking at. But I have a question, is there a way to drain the gas tank? My current, open frame generator it’s easy to remove the hose between the tank and carb and let the gas gravity drain from the tank.
I'm looking at possibly XP11000ih. For remote start to work the on/off switch must be on, correct? My question is can the switch be on (with battery tender pluged in) for say 3 months and not affect internal electronics and not slowly battery?
Can this be converted to Natural Gas? Also, why would someone choose to pay $800 more for the Genmax 10500 over this? Any particular advatages in quality or build?
I have this generator and have no complaints. The Duromax might be better if you plan to run on natural gas. That’s not an option for me. So I chose to save the money and got this one.
@@GeneratorReviews so you think if I flipped the gas/lp switch, that effectively would shut off gas from the top tank, and without hooking up lp, the carb would run dry? Thx
I don't know how else to reach you but I'd really love to see you check out this from Genmax GENMAX DIY Open Frame Dual Fuel Inverter Generator, 4000W ultra-quiet 145cc engine,with Parallel and Series Capability with CO Alert, Ideal for Construction Job & Home backup power EPA Compliant its totally wild and I'm interested in knowing more about it. YOU'RE THE GENMAX man so i'm coming to the source!
I find the 4-5k range a true Florida ready standby size gen because we could easily be without power for 2 weeks. 4k watts under 190 CC's puts you in an efficiency range that with 25- 50% load typically would get you a solid week + on 30+ gals of gasoline etc.
@@GeneratorReviews Thanks , did you get a chance to use it to power your house? Even without the video can you tell me how well it worked? Can you run your AC with it?
@@kpmcdonald1 I didn’t try running my AC with it. It’s a 5 ton unit so it would be right at its limits. I just use a window unit in bedroom. If I had a 3.5 ton with soft start I think it would no problem. But it ran the rest of my house with no issues at all. I have a 50 amp inlet setup on my house.

@@GeneratorReviews Gavin, Johnny Weekend made a video about the High failure rate of the Westinghouse iGen’s. Majority of the failures were the inverter board.
Kind of sputtery. I'm trying to decide on either one of these iGen11000dfc or the Wgen11500dfc. I'm not so much concerned about the loudness because I'm fortunate to not live in a close quarters neighborhood on a tiny lot. My closest neighbor is 300 feet away, next is 800 feet, 1500 feet. All of us have generators already, too. Just trying to decide if I want to take a chance on this brand with how much is written about their sub-par no response customer service or just get a Champion. I guess with any of these off shore made gens, it's just Russian roulette as to how well they work.
@@GeneratorReviews For sure. I already have a Genmax GM7500aIED from Sam's Club that's very surprising and gave $799 during Black Friday sale. Thinking of either getting a larger gen like the Pulsar PGD105BiSCO while Amazon has it for $1999 or the 11,000 watt Genmax version Sam's Club sells if it goes on sale. The Pulsar has the 3 year warranty like the iGen11000dfc and Westinghouse in general. Or, just get another GM7500aIED and run in parallel when needed. The bad thing will be double the propane consumption versus a single larger model. Hmm.
As you pointed out, there's a parallel option for these, but i don't see a parallel cord that still maintains the 240v that i need for an AC, dryer, and a well pump. Please link me to a 240v capable parallel cord or paralleling is useless for us. THANKS, Gavin!

The good thing about IGEN generators is you can get after market natural gas regulators that hook up to the propane hook up and you don’t have to change anything in the generator itself.
Have you tried doing that? Century and Nashfuel are telling me that then internal propane lines are too narrow to support decent load on natural gas

Thinking of either getting a larger gen like the Pulsar PGD105BiSCO while Amazon has it for $1999 or the 11,000 watt Genmax version Sam's Club sells if it goes on sale. The Pulsar has the 3 year warranty like the iGen11000dfc and Westinghouse in general. Or, just get another GM7500aIED and run in parallel when needed. The bad thing will be double the propane consumption versus a single larger model. Hmm.
👍
😊
Manual on these and the websites says it’s floating neutral
its definately a bonded neutral. Although I floated mine after I got it.
What would it take to run this on NG (if that is even possible)?
Buy a Genmax or Pulsar tri fuel and be on the safe side and maintain warranty
Can we parallel this generator with a GenMax 9000?
No, both generators have to output 240V
What happened to the microphone?
My mic was having a bad day but I did not realize it until the video was already recorded and I was not gonna do it again.
Another option.
As you pointed out, there's a parallel option for these, but i don't see a parallel cord that still maintains the 240v that i need for an AC, dryer, and a well pump. Please link me to a 240v capable parallel cord or paralleling is useless for us. THANKS, Gavin!
Another inverter that doesn’t have tri fuel capabilities :(
You should be able to get an after market natural gas regulator.
Would be nice if the audio wasn't messed up. That's quite distracting.
There was only two spot the audio messed up
@@GeneratorReviews Sure. Just from 0:09 through 1:59 and 4:14 through 9:08. Only most of the video.
Please try to keep the camera still. Im dizzy!
How??
@GeneratorReviews Tripod? Just saying!
I do not enjoy these videos I think about the people going through hard times loosing their most prized possessions.... its kinda Evil bro...
How is that evil? Would you rather not have information? Looks like you’re looking for help that I’m providing.
Go play mind games with weak people. I’m too strong for this shit.
