Quiet running and easy set up

Bought this in a rush for an unexpected trip where power may not be available. Dual fuel option and electric start were a big selling point. Instructions for initial set up and break in are easy enough for anyone. Remote start is nice, but since you plu in after unit is running, kinda pointless. Heading cross country after break in. Any issues will get another review.

Great RV gen.

I got this gen to power my RV. I am very impressed by the power of this generator. After the break in peiod I powered my whole trailer, I mean everything that runs on AC and DC since the inverter will run the 12 volt side. This includes my 15000 btu ac, mcrowave and a 15000 btu heater. And had power to spare and the noise leve of the gen was very quite.

Excellent inverter generator

This is a great inverter generator for my camper. It's very quiet and doesn't disturb any nearby neighbors. The remote start is a great feature for when it's late at night. And it produces enough power to run my A/C, 12V fridge and microwave! Very happy with this purchase!

This generator is dangerous!!!

This generator has a lot of nice features, reasonably quiet, dual fuel, remote start and stop which is why I purchased it. HOWEVER it has reversed polarity, meaning the neutral terminal is hot and the positive terminal serves as neutral. That is an electrocution or at minimum a shock hazard! If it was wired correctly I would give it 5 stars but because of the inherent dangers I gave it 1 and until this is corrected I would not recommend it to anyone.

Versatile

I got this generator to run my travel trailer. Still doing the break in period but all is going well. Easy start. Will update if I have issues. My friend has the exact same one with no issues, which is why I chose this one. I liked that I could choose gas and switch to propane if needed.

At least it runs

I ordered the iGen4500DF in early June and it finally arrived in late October. I added oil and hooked up the battery and ran the generator on propane. The generator ran fine and started with both the start button on the control panel and the remote. I removed the access panel to look at the air cleaner and noticed that one of the plastic tabs used to hold the panel in place had broken and was still in place in the rubber grommet which retains the tab when the panel is closed. I have added a couple photos of the broken tab. I am disappointed that this broke the very first time I removed the access panel, I hope the rest of the generator holds up much better than the panel did! Time will tell whether the generator turns out to be a good reliable piece of equipment.

Generator fine the leaking gas not great

I found out today that if you leave the gas valve on that the gas will leak out of the regulator. I purchased this generator for the remote start feature. If you have to go to the tank which is right next to the generator to turn on the gas why do you need a remote start/stop. For this reason I would not recommend this generator.

Fantastic Generator- Very Quiet!

I bought this generator as a backup for our home in the event we lose power (happens 2-3 times a year). This generator connects perfectly to our house via the RV plug and has plenty of power to run all our essentials (Fridge, lights, tvs, workstations, fans). Very quiet which was important for us being is a residential area.

Great design!

This is our first generator. We researched a lot of them. It is everything we looked for in a generator. The built in handle is a great feature making it easy to move. also it is very quite for a 4500. Just as quite as a 2200. Used it with propane the first time and had no problems. The remote start is awesome. didn't have to leave the RV to start it. Would recommend it. John.

Just what we needed!!

Bought this to use to run our 30amp RV at a campground for next several weeks, it is fairly quiet and is adequate to turn on everything in the RV, love that it has a remote to it and also runs off propane, we will also be using for our home if we need it during a power outage, very satisfied with this purchase, good price for a well built generator! Great that it has a extendable handle to move it around.
