iGen 4500DF

Still trying it out but I like all the features, some things are not well thought out, doing an oil change requires trying to get your hand in a small opening and around a large wire to work with the oil plug, the opening could be bigger and better placed to allow easier access to the plug, accessing the larger panel by loosening several screws that can be removed with a screwdriver but the last is a bolt that requires a 10 mm socket, why not just make them all screws, hope there is nothing else as I use it on my RV, overall it is very good.

Great so far

Received generator today. Unpacked and inspected looks great. Installed supplied oil, ,assembled supplied propane hose to regulator and attached to propane tank , checked for leaks . I turned switch to run ,pulled 3x and fired right up . Plugged a small load and let in run about 20 minutes. Will continue break in over next of days . So far very happy with my new generator only time will tell.

So far mostly good, it started right up on propane

Happy with the purchase it replaces a Coleman 5000 which was very loud, this one is very quiet. My only issue is the side panel on the carb side does not sit flush if there was a screw instead of a post in that spot it would be perfect but it hits the carb and pushes it out slight. Only cosmetic so it can be lived with.

I'm forced to review prior to trying it

I got this a few weeks ago, just read the manual, I'm gonna try it out tomorrow but in the process of getting it set up I decided to register the product. In order to get the freebie I had to agree to do the review but as noted above I haven't even use the product. These guys should allow one to write the review later on.

Strong First Impressions

We unboxed and started it up for the first time with propane. It took a few tries to start the first time. I had read about this, so I rechecked my propane connections and tried a few more times, but it started up and was easy to stop and restart from there. We have not put it to heavy use yet, but it seems well built and meets my expectations with noise, fit, and finish. The sound output is like being at a little distance from a quiet lawnmower. In Eco mode, it was significantly quieter (with a low load, I haven't pushed it hard yet). It does sound like a small engine running, but I'm very happy with that. I also found running an engine on propane to be a very pleasant experience compared to gas, with far fewer fumes. I researched this unit for a long time before buying, and I am seeing exactly what I expected so far.

so far so good

Put oil in, got the battery in, gasoline-instructions were pretty good. Started on the first pull. Did remote start, electric start, and pull cord. all worked flawlessly. Plugged rv into it and ran for a few minutes and everything worked like it should. Will put it to the test next weekend. If everything works like it has so far I'll be even a happier camper than I am now. Haven't tried propane yet, but really have no concern about whether or not it will work on that. Very satisfied so far.

It was great when it worked but....

I bought this in November for a boat move from Albany, New York to St. Pete, Florida. We used it at night to power lights and charge electronics. 2 days in tot the trip it stopped working. We couldn't get it started. Finally did. It stopped working again 4 days later. We had to stop to take it apart layer by layer to clean all the components, put it back together and pray. It id start again but quit when the mate overfilled the oil. Taken apart again.... good thing we are handy! Also, the exhaust is HORRIBLE ~ very black and oily! I vented over the deck but the transom and side of the boat were black by the third night. I would probably buy this again though... it was quiet and effective enough to to power 3 people and a 36' boat needs.

Started right up.

I ordered this generator last week. It was delivered upside down. I immediately unboxed and went through the start up process and it started on first try. I have not had an opportunity to run with anything connected but it was quieter than expected and I am Satisfied with my purchase.

perfect for my needs

After checking other products I decided this would be perfect for my needs. I have a remote off the grid cottage and this should be extremely useful for supplying the electrical needed for appliances, air conditioning and tools. The reviews I read sold me on this generator especially the remote start as well as how quiet is is.

Just what I was looking for

Hours of researching portable generators and reading reviews from professionals and end-users narrowed my choice down to the iGen4500DF. I needed a portable inverter generator that would deliver clean AC power for my electronic devices with enough capacity to keep critical appliances in service during an extended outage. The flexibility to switch from gasoline to propane without interruption is a huge plus for me and makes it easier and safer to store enough propane for an emergency. Ran the initial break-in and performed the first oil change to get ready as needed.
