Waiting to see on performance

Say one. Did as the manual instructed, filled with the supplied oil, filled with gasoline. Then some had suggested run without load, then mixed load, power off & cool down, and repeat a couple of time. On the 30 amp load ran for a good while then just shutdown. would not restart. Called the support line, and it appeared to have too much oil. Manual very unspecific on where exactly to stop. Would be nice to say "put in 10 ounces, put in 2 cups, not keep putting in oil AND screwing in and out the dip stick 8 times until you think it's good. Anyway. Got it running again and 10 min later died again. By this time to late in day to mess with it anymore. Testing at home and very glad I wasn't on a trip somewhere. Recommending for now. Will wait and see how it turns out to update review.

iGen4500DF

I just got this generator, after looking and researching for months. I wanted something big enough to run AC, Vent Fan, Microwave, lights, and TV in my fifth wheel. I went with the dual fuel in case I run out of gas, I will have propane to run it till I get to a gas station. I love the remote start, a must on my check list. I have broke the generator in already and have tested the AC, vent fan, and microwave, internet router, lights, and TV and it only hit 75% load. I am very happy with the unit.

Fill with oil, fill with gas and go!

Went threw a couple generators before finding this beauty for my 30 ft airstream with two air conditioners. Easy to setup and get going. Paired it with 2 micro air easy starts and it easily runs both air conditioners. Love the digital display so that I can easily look at the generator to see remaining fuel and current load.

Great Generator

I bought this generator as a backup to power a couple of fridge/freezers in the event of a power outage. I also liked the fact that I can run my entire camper (including AC) with this unit. I have not tested on my home yet but have used it several times to power my camper during the summer. I also like the wheels and handle as it allows me to easily roll it around outside to use it for things like power washing and other outdoor projects that typically require a long extension cord.

Dual Fuel is great! Quiet!

I purchased a year ago but just set the generator up this weekend. Decided to try propane first. I got it ready and plugged it in for several days to let battery charge. Pulled out today and the generator started right up. Runs quiet! Going to try it out on a primitive camp trip. I will say the fit and finish isn’t great on this but overall for the $ seems to be a good generator. Hope it lasts, as it will only get used a couple of times a year for camping and as a back up if lose power.

Good inverter generator

Bought this for off-grid RV dry camping. Love the connections and fuel capacity, along with the propane capabilities. Remote start is a nice feature when it works; can't seem to figure out how long the battery is supposed to remain charged. Kept our 14.5k btu AC running through two nights with only using ~2 gallons of fuel a night. Looking forward to using it more.

Superb So Far!

Even though we aren't ready to put it to the test quite yet, of course I wanted to fire it up and see how it performed. Set up was simple, and after following the instructions to connect the battery and fill with oil, I connected the propane, checked for leaks, the fired it up. First with the push button, next with the remote, then finally with the manual crank. Easy and flawless. We then hooked up our camper's 30A line, tested out the air conditioner, and it was just like we were hooked up to shore power. We shut the door, turned off the AC and could barely hear the unit humming just a few feet away from the camper. Looking forward to many years and adventures with this unit!

Gas leaked all over

Removed from packaging, filled with gas and oil.( Doesn't take full Qt. Of oil). Gas started leaking all over my garage floor. Got it outside, pulled the side cover and tapped on the carburetor. Needle was stuck, maybe from shipping? Let it set for the day, and dry out. Started right up, runs great, and runs my whole r.v. Runs quiet and smooth, have not tried propane yet.

Lots of great features

I bought this generator to use for camping because all the electric sites get reserved so far in advance. It arrived in good shape and I was eager to test it out. The one I bought was an opened box refurbished unit. It didn't come with a manual so I looked it up online and printed it out. Filled it with oil and gas but had to charge up the battery. Once all that was done it fired right up. It is super quiet. I only put a gallon of gas in it and the meter said it had 5 hours of run time at idle. When I tried it on my camper the 13500 btu AC made the meter show it was at 50% capacity. Next I turned on the 700 watt microwave and the meter showed 75%. Shut those 2 off and the generator idled down and just purred quietly. With just all my lights on it barely comes off idle. So far I'm super pumped about this new camping toy.

Great Features

I picked this up today and immediately set it up to verify it works properly. Started right up. Ran on propane and gasoline without any problems. Only complaint is the AC wall adapter battery charger is not the correct one. It has angled plugs and the same quick disconnect as the cable inside the battery compartment.
