Great Product

I bought two of these generators to power our RV as well as multiple blow up structures and appliances. The two can split up all the items or run in parallel and handle everything together. The propane option is great. Easy to transport, longer expiration date, doesn't stink up the RV and when switching from gas to propane, the machine actually cleans our the carburetor. Couldn't be happier!!

worth every penny

I bought this to run my trailer at the beach, it was the perfect combination of power, weight and fuel efficency. I ran it for 3 days continous without an issue. I had several partial bottles of propane and just switched them out as i ran out of fuel. It was so easy, a single pull and it started right back up. I was really pleased with the noise level. I had the unit under one of my slide outs in the living room and when you were inside you could barely hear it. When you were outside it was barely noticiable as well. As for the weight. I can pick this up by myself and load it in my truck.

Plenty power for 23’ TT

Recently purchased a Wildwood FSX 163RDSK and the iGen4500 is plenty of power with most appliances, pumps, and load on… even when the AC surge occurs. Sound Db is a bit higher than expected with eco off — needed for AC surge. During cooler weather, eco mode is much more quiet. It’s probably overkill for trips without AC, but nice to have the option for unexpected southern weather changes! Unit arrived with battery drained and initial start with pull cord was a no-go. So if it has trouble starting from arrival, plug in the unit to charge the battery for a few hours. Even then it took 2 starter cycles for it to kick in. From the on, it has started right away… pull cord, button and remote. Recommend.

Backup Power Confidence

Absolutely the best all around household portable backup generator on the market. Quiet and powerful. Easy to wheel around. Gas or propane is super convenient. Easy to use with push button or remote start. Love the extra large gas tank (3.4 gal).

Awesome quiet generator

This is one of quietest generators I’ve ever heard. Easily powers our 27ft trailer travel with ease. Lasts a good 16-20 hours on one tank of gas depending on what you are running in your RV at the time. Would definitely purchase this again and recommend to friends.

Great Features

I bought the iGen 4500DF a few months ago and finally got the break in period done.It starts and runs great. I really like the remote control. It also starts and runs the 13,500 AC on my RV with no problem. I also like the layout and all the information provided on the control panel I am very happy with my iGen.

Nice Generator with Dual Fuel Options

We bought this generator 4 months ago for the dual fuel options. We hooked it up to our natural gas connector - and that's our primary source. Our backup is Propane Gas. We have had a good experience with it. We really like the easy electric start it comes with. It's highly recommended to others who are not using Gasoline (as that part could have problems - but we haven't experienced that) We are very happy with our purchase.

Good, plastic housing arrived cracked.

Just opened up the box, and unfortunately the engine cover panel had a huge crack in it. I'll be submitting my claim for replacement/repair, so I'll update when I see how that goes. It appears to have been dropped in transit. Otherwise it's been great so far!

Dual fuel option is great. Propane is safer

We have 12 to 14 hour power outages here in the Mohave Desert at least once a year. My wife is on oxygen and needs power 24 hrs. a day. The iGen4500DF delivers the emergency power when we need it. This is a great peace of mind. The dual fuel option lets me keep propane on hand and is much easier and safer than having 5 or 10 gallons of gas just sitting in the heat.

So quiet we had a normal conversation next to it

Arrived in good packaging and had the first fill of 10W30 oil included with the basic spark plug and maintenance tools too. Filled up the oil, and a little gas and it fired up the first try. This unit is so quiet I had to bring my wife out to listen and we had a conversation right next to this generator under a 500 watt load. The battery was even charged so I could use the remote start fob to start and stop. I did a lot of research and price modeling for three months and landed on this unit. It is by far the best value in my mind and in online reviews for value. It is 10db (3 x) quieter than the other popular competition. The digital readout is very useful and not on most other generators. The fuel and power load indicators are easy to read at a glance graph like colored indicators. I was able to extend the telescoping handle and with one hand move this generator around easily and the handle stores back out of the way. I am very happy with this generator and look forward to our next RV adventure off grid.
