Great for RVing

I bought this for my travel trailer and love the features of remote start, quiet operation, long run times, collapsible handle, large wheels, and the multi purpose display. Its size is perfect for my F150 and fits under my bed cover so people cant see it. It is a little on the heavy side for one person to lift in and out of the truck but can be done. Easily powers the trailers A/C unit with power to spare for other items. The dual fuel will come in handy if I run out of gas while camping. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that if you leave the battery switch on overnight with the generator off, it will drain the battery defeating the use of the remote start in the morning. So at the end of the day, you have to turn that switch off, which will not allow the unit to start until you turn the switch back on.

just got it, runs fine so far

came with a broken retaining tab in the bottom of the bag, not sure where it goes but it's not missing from the right side panel. started and ran fine, powered an air compressor and freezer. it is very quiet for what it is. I'm not outside of the break in yet, I'll update if I can after running it for a few more hours.

So far so good

I just finished breaking this in using only propane. I hooked it up to or camper and ran the AC at different speeds, water heater on and off, keeping loads under 50%. The only time I had an overload was when I stepped the AC from low cool to high cool too fast... Need to let the generator catch up to the current load before asking too much - which is to be expected. So far so good. Will be taking it to the mountains for first trials in a couple of weeks.

Ran great, until it didn't

Purchased Jan 2024, used for backup offgrid power ~ 2hrs/day when there's no sun, have replaced 3 batteries, starter just went out, info screen went out after 2 hours of use(didn't affect output). Now (Nov 24) co monitor is stuck on and genny won't run more than 1-2 mins. Other than those issues, this genny ran great for ~ 4 months.

Bang for the Buck!

After much research I settled on the iGen4500DF. It had all the features I was looking for plus the bonus of remote start. The propane feature is great for the occasional power outage since gas does not store well. I have only ran the unit a bit over an hour doing the break-in but so far I am pleased. It runs very quiet, runs my AC unit on my cargo trailer/camper @ a bit over 25% load. The only thing I wish it had was a 12v out for charging may batteries. It does however have a trickle charge feature so your battery on the generator is always ready to go. I am pleased with my purchase and barring any catastrophic failure in the near future I would easily recommend. Can't wait to get out and use this this thing!

Good cost to get remote start

Just got this 4500df, and after the way it was delivered I felt if it was to come out of the box and be in one piece and run I have got a good generator? Well I was happy to see it in one piece put the battery back in the gen. put oil and gas in and one pull was up and running. Time will tell on how long it will last?

iGen5000DFc Invertor Generator

Received Generator in a flawless condition and with easy to follow instructions we were up and running in a matter of minutes. She is a very beautiful piece of equipment that will come in handy for many years to come. The Digital display is a plus along with the Duel Fuel capabilities!

The size generator I was looking and duel fuel

I got it out of the box, added the oil, hooked up the battery. The first few times I tried it didn't crank. I gave it about a hour and tried it again and if fired right up. We have a fifth wheel camper and it will be perfect dry camping for football weekends. I have also found some good info on youtube for maintenance.

Opening the box and instructions

Bought this in June, ready for hurricane season. Opened the box in early August ahead of hurricane Debby. Very well put together. Excellent operational instructions and user manual. Everything was supplied (except fuels, obviously), even the tools to do routine maintenance. Pretty darned quiet, easy to start and operate.

Good to have in reserve

Every year we can expect a powerful storm, and a few days of power outages. Last summer, a friend loan us, his generator, which we used to power our refrigerator and tropical freshwater aquarium. He has a second one that we promptly bought from him. We are going to be ready this year!
