Works great!

I did the research and read a lot of reviews of this product and finally decided on the iGen4500DD. I needed dual fuel and clean inverter power. Set up was simple, easy, and the unit started right up with the remote the first time! It's pretty quiet. My wife was impressed too.

Quirt, remote start love the color

I just received this a couple of days ago and the set up was easy. i connected it to propane turn on the switch pushed the remote start and it came to life. Add a 1000w load and let it run for 20min for a test run. post the remote off and it shutdown. Did a video and sent to my other family members. This will be great for over night fishing. Love it!

Does what it says

Ran for a few hours so far. Was able to maintain the temperature in smaller deep freezer, a 20cu ft fridge/freezer, and a dehumidifier (This was running on natural gas, did even better on propane, haven't used with gasoline). Was bought to keep our vaccines viable in an emergency. Haven't had to use it in that capacity.

Happy in a townhouse

I live in a townhouse and didn't want to alienate my neighbors with the noise of a traditional generator at night. This is plenty to run our fridge, a fan, modem and coffee maker/ toaster oven when needed during the increasingly common power outages in HTX.

igen4500df generator

Bought this to run on propane so I can quit fighting with modern gasoline that is stored for long periods of time which causes carburetor troubles. It fired right up and runs well off of the included propane regulator. This will make a nice addition to our camp trailer.

So far so excellent

We bought this to power our camper and to early to tell as just finished the break in period. I was a little surprised at the amount of contaminant in the oil when I changed it after break in. Actually ran under a small load after break in for 45 minutes and changed oil in between after total of 3 changes was much cleaner. Power wise broke in to the letter and it never skipped a beat used kep fob to start works like a champ. For the money this generator is a great deal majority positive reviews on this model. Will be running the camper off it here within next few days an do not anticipate any issue based on the break in period performance. Have total of 6 hours using propane, plan is to use gas, recommended by small engine repair folks non-ethanol for these as any ethanol can shorten the life of the carburetor on the motor. Will post an additional review after running on the camper.

Light weight and super powerful, great features !

I liked my brothers Westinghouse 4500 he uses for his B-Class RV so much I purchased one for my 5TH Wheel RV. One note of interest we used his to run what we needed at our lakeside RV site for both his Class B and a 29' Travel Trailer piggy backed for an overnighter. The 4500 did an incrediblly awesome job.

I NEED SOME HELP!!!! PROBLEM WITH THE GENERATOR

I BOUGHT THIS INVESTOR IN JUNE AND I HAVE SOME PROBLEMS: 1. When I turn on the generator I have to press the start button twice or three times in both mode (GAS/Propain) to start. 2. When I connect a 12BTU (9.5 Amp) AC UNIT and then try to connect a fridge the inverter turns off, the amp consumption does not reach 18amps and the Overload Light never turn it on. WHAT CAN I DO, WHAT COULD I CHECK? SPARK, CARBURATOR?

Love the versitility

Duel Fuel exchange is nice. Very quiet. Had issues starting, but it was recalled and the replacement unit has been fine. I presume this is due to the issue, and the service was good so I didn't knock it. I do need more time to evaluate robustness of the product, but so far everything is nice. It would be nice to have an oil drain plug instead of having to dump it out the fill point (i needed to for recall).

So far, so good!

Only 5 hrs of run time so far - just to get though the initial break-in period. I have run it on both propane and gasoline, with no more than 50% load. First oil change was expectedly sludgy, but no signs of large metal flakes or shavings. As others have commented the oil access panel is very small - I needed to temporarily disconnect and move a nearby wire to be able to get a wrench on the oil drain bolt. The automatic choke seems to be connected and is working fine right out of the box. The manual has some minor inaccuracies.
