Very surprised by all the features!

I bought this at a great price, was extremely easy to set up, has more features than any other generator on the market and costs less. This thing started right up, no problems, it's very quiet and runs very well. The luggage style pull out handle to move it is a great bonus as well, its extremely sturdy and spring loaded so you can use your foot to pop it out. I enjoy the small details. Thanks!

Best Generator Ever

I really like this iGen4500DFcv inverter dual fuel generator. Setup was very easy to follow. I used LPG instead of gasoline. Started after the 3rd pull. Ran the unit for 5 hours and changed the oil. The oil condition was as expected. Still somewhat clear but no huge amount of shavings or glitter. Ran for another 20 hours using it off and on keeping food safe. The oil change is messy just dumping the old oil inside the cover so it could go out a drain hole. Better design or drain hose would be nice. Unit was not very loud at 30 to 40 percent load. Liked the ECO mode as it saves fuel and is quieter. The face controls tell you everthing you need to know. Overall would recommend this generator to anybody.

Great dashboard

this unit with dual fuel , eliminates many problems with the fuel supply in many areas. 3 ways to start up unit is a blessing. Good to know this reliable unit will be here IF and when needed, But also hoping I only have to use it ONCE a year for testing reasons.

IGEN4500DF

Just got this generator & still breaking it in. like how quiet it is, the large fuel tank & how powerful it seems to be. just putting light lads on it yet when breaking in, but it takes quite a bit to get it up to 1/4 load. Should work well for us as we travel from one dirt track race to the next. Anxious to see how economical it is on fuel. Plan on primarily running it on gas & using the LP as a backup source.

Unpacking and getting ready for service.

Bought the generator a couple weeks ago. It started on the first try once I finished getting it ready. I was surprised that the battery wasn't secured before the generator was boxed up for shipment. Battery access opening could be larger and the rubber strap that is to hold battery in place should be secured with a fastener on the back side. It is very hard with the small opening to hold the strap up while putting the battery in the generator. Some sort of hook to hold the strap up while inserting the battery would be nice also. I don't look forward to replacing the battery when it eventually will be needed. The access panel to fill it with oil and then check the oil level could be bigger also. couple items that might have kept me from purchasing this generator if I had known about them before purchasing. Says it was built in Viet Nam, maybe they have smaller hands. Evidently they didn't want to secure the battery before it took the long journey to the United States. Maybe they thought it was a pain to do also since didn't do it. So far seems like a nice product which could be a lot better if the above modifications were made.

Great First Trial!

We had been talking about purchasing this generator, when we had a power outage where we live for a couple days. We purchased the generator for our camper and lived in it during the outage. It did fantastic. We will now mount in our RV and take it on the road to various campgrounds and parks and conveniently always have power. Glad we got it broke in and it ran quietly and sufficiently! Definitely recommend.

Great Generator - Extremely Quiet and Easy to Use

We have been researching multiple generators and we continued to come back to the iGen4500DF. We could not be happier with the purchase, it started right up and provides great power as a backup to our home. It is great that this particular model can use both propane and gasoline.

Quality Build

The item was delivered in excellent condition. I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet but I'm certain it will deliver everything it's rated for and what I need. Do not forget to read the owners manual, as operating as altitudes above 2,000 feet require different regulators and fuel jets. Good product!

IGEN4500DFC

Update from 2 Feb 2022. I purchased this gen on 1 Feb 2023 and I am in the process of breaking in the first 5 hours of run time. I am now at 4 hours and have been varying the load as stated in manual. My first review said that the Digital Data Center was not working properly. It still doesn't have the daily run time but it does keep track of the overall runtime. I am very satisfied with this generator. Even with my a/c and fireplace/heater running the generator is at 50% power.

Great Generator

I've only run it on propane so far, but it starts right up, runs relatively quiet, and adapts to loads quickly with little hesitation. Very happy with it after having researched generators for many hours. Light enough to take camping with the RV trailer, and can be paralleled to run a 240volt 30amp transfer switch at home. Only feature I wish it had were adjustments for altitude. I don't have the high altitude kit yet, but I imagine putting it in every time we camp at elevation, then taking it out at home, will get old quickly.
