most features in one compact package

i waited for this to be available for over a year. IT does all the things i wanted plus has option of dual fuel. Can't find another with DF, remote start, inverter and in this size range. mine out of box fired up on second try with propane. later on gas fired on first try. Will see if it has any problems like some have had.. i am hopeful i will not.

Great so far!

I've only had this generator for about a week. After initial setup it has performed flawlessly while running on propane. This generator provides enough power to run my 30 amp travel trailer but also doubles as an extra bit of backup power if needed at the house. I only ran it for a few hours but I'm excited to take this out and off grid.

Easy to use

Just purchased so haven't had a lot of use yet but it was very easy to set up with everything supplied that was needed. I added a little gasoline, decided to try the manual start and it started with the first pull! Convenience of electric start is an added bonus. I was able to have a normal conversation with my neighbor who had walked over to see while we were standing only 5 feet away. Duel fuel is a great plus.

Awesome Inverter/generator

Bought this to power my 5th wheel RV while dry camping. Have slow start capacitors on both 15k A/C units. After starting each separate, runs both with no problems. Very quite for a 4500. Ran gasoline thru it only once, have used nothing but propane since. Have over 400 hours with no issues.

Good overall

Bought for a backup if power goes out. Rec'd in good condition everything was there. "Read" the directions! Used the electric start started after 2 attempts. Ran at 1/2 load or less as required. Worked good, very quiet. Very fair on fuel. Tried to start with recoil a few times, didn't get it started. Back to elec start, it started right up. Have about 5 hrs on it. Will see if it lasts. Seems well made.

iGen4500DFcv

Great product. No remote start, but smooth easy starting pull. Nice tool kit especially threaded oil filler tube. Filled with minimal mess. Nice access panels. Very quiet compared to standard gen. 80dB right in front at controls at 50% load. Eco mode awesome. Idle speed at no load and RPM only increases based on load. Handled 2K watt microwave only 50% load using 30amp plug with 30amp to 20amp adapter from Harbor Freight. Nice LED display of power, volts, and run time. Propane easy to use. No mess, fuel additives or storage problems. Can use gas, but I plan to keep using propane.

Very Nice...Very Quiet

After weeks of research and seeing many great reviews for this generator, I took the plunge. Started up the first time out of the box. Difficult time finding the serial number on the machine, ridiculous to not supply a warranty card with serial number printed on it as most manufacturers do. Also, didn't like that they supply you with a container of oil, however, if you pour in all of it, as anyone would expect to do, it overflows the reservoir...as the manual tells you not to do. Should be shipped with the EXACT amount of oil required for one fill. Other than that I am very pleased, though I have only used it for a few minutes so far on a test. The dual fuel option is fantastic.

Perfect camping generator

We absolutely love our. A little louder then my father in laws honda but mine runs everything I need and more, my wife and I love the remote start. I don't have to put pants on in the middle of the night if I need to crank it up for anything. I love that I run off propane. A little more expensive then gas but it's less wear and tear and it's easy enough to keep a few tanks topped off and not worry about dumping gas trying to fill it up. Plus my wife can transfer propane tanks in her car without it smelling like a gas can for a week.

Great value and features

I bought this model specifically because of the features. I have only had it for about 5 days so I am still breaking it In. The KW capacity is the right size for me and the dual fuel capability is my hedge agains shortage on one or the other fuel type. I an not sure it is properly displaying the fuel level but all else appears to be showing correctly.
