Super quiet top pick

I did a lot of shopping. Mainly I wanted a quiet generator. I also wanted more than 4,000 starting watts and a 30 amp plug for the RV so I can run the AC without any problems. I got all that plus a lot more. The noise level is rated 51. I compared this to the Honda and I can't tell the difference. When I put it in eco mode it still runs the AC great and is even quieter. A couple bonuses are that it is duel fuel so I can run it off the propane. The only downside is that it is larger than a 2000 watt unit for sure but it is not too large to be a big deal. One more thing I love about this is the Key fab so you can start it remotely. It has remote, plus push button and manual if all else fails. This is my top pick and I shopped around a lot. The price point also beats everyone else. Definitely get this one for your RV trips.

Looks good

I cant leave a full review. Just received the delivery yesterday and its 25 degrees outside so I haven't cranked it up yet. So far its everything I had hoped. Been waiting for availability for 5 months. All parts are there, clear instructions, and looking forward to testing and breaking it in.

Great Product

I'm very happy with all the great features that come with the IGEN4500DF. Same features are usually only found on more expensive generators.. I love the extended handle for easy maneuvering and the easy transfer from gas to propane. I would definitely recommend this product to those looking for a great buy!

Quiet

Purchased after much research. Decided on the igen4500DF to have the option of propane or gas. It was quieter then expected, and believe me I did a lot of research. Purchased to use with a ATC Toy Hauler. This will be more then enough to power as needed. I initially started the inverter on propane. Ran pretty rough on propane and would not maintain steady RPM. I went through the trouble shooting as instructed in the manual. Said the issue could be cause by gas left in the carb. (I'm guessing from testing at the factory.) Decided to run it on gas, and it ran incredibly smooth with steady RPM. After break in, (running for an hour with no load) and changing the oil, I decided to try the propane. While it was running on gas, I switched to propane and had no issues. Ran smoothly with steady RPM. My recommendation, break it in on gas. On side note about the break-in, I would certainly change the oil after the first hour. I have never been one to think that there was a need to, but I did see minute metal flecks in the oil after the first hour, as would be normal on any new engine. Overall, seems like a good product. Looking forward to getting out and using it on the hauler.

First Impressions

Quality item in most respects. Having to install a high altitude kit was a surprise and there was a yet to be located loose item rattling around in the bottom of the generator. Will find that hopefully when I change out the jets in the regulator and carburetor.

Great Features

I got this for Xmas. I ran a bunch a tests on it and it looks good. I needed to have something easy to use and maneuver. Just looking to be able to keep a pellet stove and a few lights going in an emergency. The remote start / push button start was a must for my wife to use while I am away if needed. It is a little heavier than I wanted, but the telescopic handle makes it fairly easy to move around. It is quieter than I expected.

Exactly as advertised

I read thru the manual and went thru the startup procedures. The instructions were clear and generator started right up on both propane and gasoline. I tested all of the outputs with a variety of loads and the generator performed as expected. I'm ready for the next power outage now!

Easy to Operate, and quiet!

This is definitely a well-designed and well-built inverter generator. The unit is compact and relatively light weight for the amount of power it generates. The electric starter worked perfectly after the included battery is charged overnight. It is fairly quiet during operation, especially when it is set to the "Eco" mode. All in all, this generator is well worth its price!

Beefy and Quiet, Runs for Hours With No Problems

Recently purchased to replace a large noisy Craftsman generator. This thing rocks! I love the key fob start, the compact size, how quiet it is and the consistent power it generates. Plus the dual fuel is awesome as I have a 100 gallon propane tank I am going to go out and fill! Love this generator!

Love this generator!

I've been looking for one of these for months but everyone is out of stock. Finally found it and bought immediately based on reviews, glad i did. Super quiet compared to my previous Champion I returned due to noise level. Plenty of power, great features, runs everything at once on our 23' Nash trailer, exactly what i wanted. The remote start is a bonus in the cold mornings. No issues with delivery or condition other than some kind of silicone grease on everything in the wrapper. Hoping for many years of service.
