Quiet, stable, and so far reliable.

May be a 5 star, but haven't had it long enough. The only negative thing I can say about it is the instructions clearly state use ALL of the oil supplied. If you do, the first time you move the generator you will leave a nice trail of oil to mark your movement.

Great Features

I picked this up today and immediately set it up to verify it works properly. Started right up. Ran on propane and gasoline without any problems. Only complaint is the AC wall adapter battery charger is not the correct one. It has angled plugs and the same quick disconnect as the cable inside the battery compartment.

Won’t run on gas

I just unpacked it and it won’t start. Called the 800 in the literature and after wasting 1/2 on the phone they tell me I have to call a different number in Canada (not in the literature). Called and I am still waiting for a call back. It won’t start or run on gas but it did run on propane.

Nice Generator

I purchased this generator and received it on time undamaged in the box. I followed the start up instructions and it started with no issues. Will be using it this weekend after the break in period. There were no rust issues around the gas fill area as I had previously seen on other reviews.

Great generator easy to move, dual fuel is key

Really excited about this as we had a recent bad storm where gas was in short supply nice to have a second alternative that is quieter anyway. Also useful for tailgating or if I ever get into RV more. The only downside would say is that I was expecting that it was a bit quieter like a Honda 2200 that I’ve used in the past. At least that’s what the reviews and dB ready to adjusted. It still is quite quiet compared to an open non-inverter generator. I used it with the propane, that would likely be the quietest setting. I do like that has the conservation mode for lower draw and longer use with fuel.

GREAT GENERATOR

I BOUGHT THIS GENERATOR IN THE FACE OF POWER OUTAGES FOR THE ELECTRIC COMPANY DUE TO HIGH WINDS IN OUR AREA. IT WORKS SO WELL. THE PUSH BUTTON/REMOTE START FEATURE IS EXCELLENT. MY WIFE HAS A ISSUES WITH HER HANDS AND THIS FEATURE IS SO HELPFUL. WE JUST LOVE IT

Started without hesitation

We have been looking for a back up power supply that had good features, is easy to use and is reasonably priced. The iGen4500DF fits the bill. Although I only picked it up just yesterday, I am very pleased with the unit. After filling the crankcase with the provided oil, and connecting the included (and charged) battery it started on the first press of the button. Note: the key fob (another great feature) worked first try too. After letting it warm up for few minutes, I connected it to our refrigerator and a couple of running shop tools in my garage and it handled the load no problem. While I do not look forward to loosing power in the future, I can now breath easier with the iGen4500DF in our garage.

4 Time's a Charm

After 3 times trying to purchase a similar generator from another manufacturer for our brand new Alliance RV Fifth Wheel I happened upon this one. What a great decision that was! This iGen4500DF generator was exactly what we were looking for. It started right up on propane after I added oil and hooked up the battery. Love the remote start. Will come in handy on cold mornings when out boondocking in the Fall/Winter. To me, it's no louder than an average lawnmower. Thanks for a product that I foresee being a worthwhile and perfect accompaniment to our RV.

Super Quiet

I was able to test run my generator today. I was so pleased to have it start right up without a single problem. Running in propane mode was incredibly quiet. The remote start will be a real step saver. I am looking forward to our first trip out to give it a real time test.

Lots of feature in a small quiet package

I like the generator well enough to order this one being the second one I own. The features are there, thesound level is good, the ease of use and portability. I do have a compaint, my first one won,t start, I have read all the reviews and tried all the quick fixes. I would have to say coustomer sevice, is almost nonexistant. The phone calls get cut off after being on hold for ever, when you finally get someone it is a operator, telling you to get on line, to submit you questions or orders. At this time my online contact has not been addressed. It is too bad that a good product has such bad followup. I hope to get some responce soon, living in a rual area is a problem, being you have to find and take it to one of there approved, repair shops, in order for it to have warranty parts replaced with no labor paid for, for my situation that requires 200 miles of travel to get it back home and lots of down time.
