All the features I wanted.

I selected this because it was big enough to run anything in my house, it had electric start, it would run on gas or propane, it was an inverter, and it was small enough to easily move. After prepping it, it started right up on propane. To test it I ran a circular saw and a reciprocating saw together. I'm a satisfied customer.

Great generator!

Just purchased and extremely happy so far. Filled with oil (included and also a great little funnel that screws into oil fill port) and it started right up. Generator is very quiet and loaded with features. So far only ran on propane but hooked it up to my RV and it ran AC and Microwave at same time with no issues.

For my horse trailer with living quarters

I purchased this generator over the mass market cheaper ones for the dual fuel capability. I intend to use it on my horse trailer with living quarters.On trips where it needs to be stored in the horse trailer portion I wont have to wotty about gas fumes and our horses because of its ability to run on propane(no need to store with gas in it)

Great flexibility

I just recently purchased the generator but have not used it yet. Even though i was originally looking into a smaller unit but after reading the features and the capabilities i decided to go with 4500 model. The manual is straight forward and easy to read. The remote start im sure will be a great convience. The dual fuel capability gives me flexibility.

Futuristic Generator

I purchased this generator for off-grid camper use as well as for emergency backup at home. It is highly user-friendly and has several advanced features. It is a bit large and heavy for use as a portable unit but the capacity for power generation is the other side of that coin. Ultimately, after much research, I think it is the best generator in its class.

Excellent Generator

I just bought this generator for camping. My plan is to only operate it on propane unless otherwise necessary. I added the required oil, connected the battery, attached the propane source and it immediately started up. It ran excellent under load.

The features I was looking for

I just received my 4500 dual fuel generator, that I purchased for my Fifth wheel RV. It has the features I was looking for, including dual fuel, 30 amp plug, and enough amperage to run air conditioners and more. I unboxed the unit, filled it with oil, hooked up the battery and started it on LP, using the remote control. It started right away and ran properly. I have not yet tested the output or used the unit, but I looking forward to giving it a try. I gave this 4 stars, only because I have not used it in working conditions.

just what the doc orderedjust

just received this last night unboxed and put oil in. this morning i put gasoline in it, it took a few tries for it to start but thats normal for new gas engines fuel needs to get to the carb. after letting it run for a couple of minutes i put a load on it no problem at all best part is how quiet it is i have other generators and the will wake up the neighborhood not this one so far so good hope it lasts a long time

All the features I wanted

I've just had this a day but I was very impressed when I pulled gently on the recoil starter handle to test the compression and it started right up! After that I started it a number of times using the battery/starter, sometimes with the remote fob. Everything worked. It is quiet enough that you can have a normal conversation standing beside the unit while it is running (in non-eco mode at about 1/2 power output). It also handled my RV air conditioner plus the electric water heater (which I would not run while on generator, really). It would not handle the second air conditioner - undoubtedly because of the starting current. I haven't tried the propane fuel, yet, but I intend to shortly.

Nice product don't put too close to windows/doors

We bought this a month ago to use with our toy hauler. It works great with limited noise level. Be careful not to place too close to any windows or doors during use! Our carbon monoxide detector went off during the first night of using the unit. We moved it further away from the trailer but haven't tried it since.
