Great video
Gavin’s what’s the price on IGEN generator?
Hey Gavin, can you please do a review/test of the 50 amp unit? I see reports that this unit only measures one leg of the 240, giving you only a 120 reading. That makes sense because I think these are made for RV's, which hook up to 50 amp 240v, but only use 120v being that nothing in a RV uses 240.
Please try to keep the camera still. Im dizzy!
How??
Could you run both on a single supply line of natural gas?
Yes you could
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.
They're marketed for camping (amongst other things) imagine youd soon get complaints about the noise. And if used for fishing - are there lakes with deaf fish?
Thank you so much. I was looking for inverter generator tri-fuel to power my 5-ton AC and your video has everything that i needed. Even the AC LRA. Perfect.
You are welcome!
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.
Thank you! Just the info I was looking for!!
Update! They have redesigned the air filter to make it easier to get to the air filter. I thought it was really crazy to take the generator apart just to change out the filter lol! Those videos need to be removed from UA-cam!! Common sense!
Finally!
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.
Great video. 👍 Thanks for showing everything we should know about this particular generator ❤.
Thanks 😊
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
Bout time! This is the one I’ve been waiting for!
Thanks Gavin !
You’re welcome thanks for watching and subscribing
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.
There’s not too many options when it come to Tri fuel over 8000 www.gavins-garage.com/
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
Can you explain how you would incorporate two 50 amp plugs for your backup. I know I could connect one of them to a 50 amp breaker using an interlock. How would you add the second?
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
Hi, I have an inverter generator (4000 peak watts/3200 running watts). It came with a paralleling kit whereas the connection connects one inverter generator to the other inverter generator. I would then plug into one of the 30 amp outlets on either of the generators. This parallel connection does not have a separate outlet similar to other kits. 1. By paralleling with the kit I was supplied and connecting to the 30 amp outlet on the generator, does this also increase the output? 2. Is the outlet still limited to 30 amp output? 3. What is the benefit of using a parallel kit that has a separate either 30 amp or 50 amp outlet. Thanks for your time. Hope you had a great July 4th.
Another option.
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
@@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.
Could you review the Sam’s Club Genmax 7500 W inverter generator. I love the way you cover all of the details
I can’t sell that one in my store or website, but I’ll try to see if someone will sponsor the video
Looks like another great choice for home backup or RV if you have plenty of help to unload & load...😎
Yep 👍🏾
Thanks for another great video. I look forward to the load test.
👍
😊
Cummins can run 8.4 hours @ 50% load Honda - 6 hours @ 50% load You can actually sleep all night
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.
You got it👍🏾
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.
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.
Another inverter that doesn’t have tri fuel capabilities :(
You should be able to get an after market natural gas regulator.
Been waiting for this one! This is the first video on youtube about this generator.
🎉
Another great video! Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
11 minutes of stating the obvious 😂
I have a duromax generator and it is one thirsty fella.
$407 shipped right now on the REFURB exact model on their website this weekend...July 4th weekend 2024
Gavin... you never did a load test video on the pulsar 9500... if you have one and some time that would be appreciated :-)
Sorry customer bought the unit from my store before I was able to review it.
I just changed the battery in my 3000i and I love the quietness of that machine. I also have a victron 12v/3000va inverter with a 4000Ah lifepo4 CALB battery and use that for the ultimate quiet system. I really appreciate the video here, might I suggest setting the cooktop to 9 or 8 so that you can find a power load that both gensets can run then compare the noise given a fixed load. Thanks for taking the time to put these through their paces.
Can you extend the exhaust on it?
With the right size pipe I think you can 👍🏾
Always good content, Gavin. I saw a video of the Ford hybrid with a 7.2kw inverter, maybe they will send you one to review on your channel.
That would be awesome
Hey Gavin, please review some low rpm diesel air cooled gen sets. For off grid backup, they are the cat’s pajamas
Ok 👍🏾 I will look into it
But the trackers are closer to the sun so of course will produce more power.
lol 😂
I bought the Pulsar9500w. Between The Genmax9000 and Pulsar9500 (same with the 10500w tri fuel generators) I went with Pulsar since it offered a 3 year warranty. Although these warranties have to be tested, a 3year is better than 90 days or 1 year warranty. Also the Pulsar has a pressurized oil system which pumps oil through the strainer. I called support and they sent me an exploded drawing of the engine/powerhead which shows the oil pump assembly. At least its in the design drawings, as to the oil flow path, I can't speak to that as it's not detailed. Anyway I'm happy with my choice and the generators performance so far. Main purchase is for emergency backup power only.
Please show how to connect to the home as the whole home backup generator. Thank you.
Question … most people are using there generators to run their homes in the event of an outage. Where is the benefit in running two generators in parallel if a 50A inlet can only handle around 12,500 watts total, which is less than what those two inverters combined would produce? Not a criticism but I’m trying to learn the process.
Great question. Let’s say you have a 5 ton AC and you try to start a second large load the second generator would cover the additional surge required to start the load and not trip your 5 ton AC. Two generators also help with your generator running at 100%. It’s much better to have two Generator running at 50% for fuel efficiency, longevity and redundancy.
Have you tried to do this test on the new Midea AC units?
No, I haven’t. Plus, I don’t think this 1000w is capable of starting an AC unit.
