Load test! Load test! Load test! I know you are busy and you were involved with the hurricane. We shall continue to wait. Thanks for all the good content.
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 CZcams 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
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!
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.
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. Keep up the good work.
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!
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.
@@bronsontubb Then a call to Westinghouse support is mandatory before one attempts to connect to the house however, good luck speaking to them as their support is not stellar.
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
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.
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’?
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.
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!
@@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
@@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?
@@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.
do any other Brands have the 'auto-select' of fuel function? As i'm shopping for an inverter generator, duel or tri, with ideally over 8k running watts on LPG, i see WEH has that function but they don't have one that size. Thanks in advance.

Been waiting for this one! This is the first video on youtube about this generator.

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
@@rohitshrivastava4742 so, I called Nash before I purchase to clarify some questions I had and they never said any thing to that effect.

@@kevinr5187 it may work on your 4500, I have the 11000 watts and the lines do look narrow to me. I am gonna try anyway.

Gavin, two huge advantages for me is the no-tool access door, and the long oil drain hose that makes maintenance much easier for me.

Never experienced an issue with my Westinghouse Wgen12000. Sorry to hear about your experience. The 12k/15k is a beast!
@DumbDadDuties just 🙏 you don't need support, because the cavalry won't be coming....
Hey Gavin, can you do a video converting this generator to a floating ground neutral? Thanks so much

Thanks for another great video. I look forward to the load test.
Looks like another great choice for home backup or RV if you have plenty of help to unload & load...😎
Yep 👍🏾

cool intro graphics
Please use a decibal meter to check the noise with and without eco mode
Thanks Gavin !
You’re welcome thanks for watching and subscribing
would love to see how you add a lpg quick connect to this unit
Another great video! Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
Great video. 👍 Thanks for showing everything we should know about this particular generator ❤.
Thanks 😊
Hey Gavin, can you do a load test on this one please?
Bout time! This is the one I’ve been waiting for!
Just bought the same one last week.
How you like it? Have you put a heavy load on it yet?
@@Iaiashgamer Ran it for a couple of hours but not under load yet. I have my electrician coming tomorrow to install an interlock and outlet.
Where did you buy it from?
How loud is it? Quiet?
Thanks for sharing and enjoy!
I tried contacting you guys, hoping to work with you in the future

Also been waiting to hear about this inverter. Where did you end up getting it? And what was the cost? Looking forward to your test and review.
When’s the load test coming out 👀👀?
I will do the load test soon after my store gets through peak season very busy right now.
Generator-Superstore.com
Is it a copper or aluminum coil?
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!
Yes, I don’t understand why they still bond it to ground knowing that it is for home backup purposes. Floating neutral would’ve been better.
The user manual on the this Westinghouse generator says it’s a floating neutral.
@@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.

@@MrBritrider I have two calls in to them already, both “escalated”, so we’ll see, thanks for the encouragement!
Hey man, when you gonna do a review on how she performs?
Your subscribers are a wait’n.
Soon as I get some time to post and record
Thanks for the video! I keep searching for 11,000 Dual fuel generators on line but they seem to all be out of stock. Any help appreciated.
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
mic is fine I just dropped it from my shirt.
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.
You can buy a fuel evacuator or a manual hand pump evacuator to get your gas out of the tank
Great video
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’?
Yes that’s normal it will stop when the generator is broken in. If it doesn’t stop then something is going on
@@GeneratorReviews Thanks. i’m pretty sure I over oiled the air filter. I just removed the filter and ran without
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

Great video. Does it have an in line fuel shutoff valve so I can run the carb dry when I’m done using it? Thanks
I believe switching from gas to propane would
@@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 checked your website and didn’t see this model do you have one in stock if so how much?
No, I don’t have this in stock
Love your reviews dude. Have you seen the new AIVOLT 11,250 watt generator on Amazon yet? I really want one but I can’t find any reviews yet.
Working on that right now should see on the CZcams channel soon
Was the automatic choke plug wire connected lol!
Im surprised you got one. Its been out of stock for months every time that i checked. Lots of other westinghouse products are unavailable as well.
I’ve had it for about two weeks now plus other ones that are not released yet
@@GeneratorReviews ElectricGeneratorsDirect has 22 in stock about 5 days ago. No idea if they still have any, but I have one on the way.
Do you have a video of this inverter powering your house? Does it run your AC?
Unfortunately, not at the moment
@@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?
Another option.
Will you do a review of the big Gen max inverter when it comes out?
Yes
I just bought this generator have you tried the keyfob yet? Did you have to connect it mine wouldn't work
I haven’t tried it yet
You reccomend this over the gen max 9000 ?
I would compare this one to the 10500 instead
Gavin, I have owned an iGen before and with just forty-two hours of use, the inverter Failed.
😢
@@projectswithjw Yes, this is S A D!!!
It could just be that particular unit

There’s not too many options when it come to Tri fuel over 8000
www.gavins-garage.com/
Gavin’s what’s the price on IGEN generator?
Manual on these and the websites says it’s floating neutral
Is it just me or did audio stop working around 4:40
My mic started rubbing up against my shirt
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 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!
