Very nice appearance and features

It's a heavy unit, and a “handful” for a single person to lift into the back of a pickup or into a storage compartment of a RV. I wish the engineers would come up with an exhaust extension so that CO fumes would be ducted away from the RV. Overall, I believe it's the best answer for running two A/C's with a residential refrigerator. I installed SoftstartRV's on both of my 15k BTU A/C's. And that made it feasible for me to use the iGen4500DF Inverter/Generator.

Nice Generator!

I bought this generator a couple of weeks ago and really like it. The only issue I have is on startup using gasoline. Every time I try to start it floods and won't start so I have to switch it to the propane mode. When it runs very good and it's not loud.

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 and runs like a quality generator

I just bought this and ran it with a low load to break it in for about 4 hours. Started and ran great. Lots of cool features and good reviews. I just wish there was an easier way to drain extra fuel in the tank once finished with it. Maybe I am missing something.

As advertised

Received this today and started it up, no load, on propane on first press of the electric start button. Very impressed with the unit. I question the dba noise rating as I expected it to be quieter. Suggestions for improvement: include dust caps on both ends of the propane hose and design a method to change the oil easily. Hoping for many years of reliable service- so far no issues, we'll done!

Has everything!

Bought this to power our travel trailer. Has all of the features in one unit that competitors lack (integrated usb, and Dual Fuel!). This thing kicked on first try and ran smoothly. Having the option to run propane or gas and still have one of the largest gas tanks in comparison is what sold us. Great generator. Not AS quiet as I had hoped for, but still much quieter than an open frame.

so far so good

It took 3 tries to get one I could keep but I finally have one that looks and runs good. I have only tried it for test purposes so far. I will only run this on propane. It started right up. When loaded up with big draw items, it didn't hesitate to increase power. It is a bit louder that I anticipated but still much quieter than most on the market. This is for emergency use only so hopefully I don't have to use it too much.

So far so good

I just set this generator up and tested it out. It started immediately and was quieter than expected. Seeing as how I purchased this for emergencies, I hope to only use it in a testing capacity. After today's test, I have great confidence if it is needed.

Loyalty Established

Bought this generator and was very pleased to see all the nice things that was said about this product were true. very surprised on how less noisy this generator is compared to the ones I hear in my neighborhood. I have a Samsung refrigerator that didn't like the previous generator, but with this generator, it worked like it was the normal electricity. I am confident this generator will perform very well.

really nice and quiet inverter

we use the westinghouse inverters at work and love them. I decided to buy one for my camper amd love the fact that it will runn with full load of camper only using about 70%. I doubt I'll ever use the propane option but wanted it just incase I needed it.
