I bought my IGEN5000DFc about a month ago, easy to follow directions manual: connected battery cable, added supplied oil, used extension handle to pull it outside and fired it up on propane easy startup and ran surprisingly quiet and not too heavy for an old man to lift and pull.

... but do NOT follow the instruction "pour the entire bottle of oil into the engine". Maybe I got lucky and they sent me extra oil, but now I have a large oil stain on my deck. Otherwise, seems great - its pretty awesome to be able to turn on a generator with a key fob instead of dislocating my shoulder with the recoil start

Purchased this generator to run air conditioner and microwave at the same time. Propane intake cover is the only attached cover that is upside down when not covering propane input. Water and dust collect in it when propane is in use. Otherwise, really pleased with the running of the unit. Sounds like a push lawnmower when it’s running at normal and revs a little louder when starting air conditioner but doesn’t rev when a/c is running and the microwave is used.

I only have had this generator for a couple weeks now. Very easy to unpack and get it going. Love the digital screen on it. It came with everything needed to use. I have had a honda 3000 inverter and the Honda is louder than this. Easy to move around. I bought it to run my motor home and so far I am impressed and I bought online and never saw it in person before I got it

I received this a couple days ago and set it up today. Was very easy to figure out. Only complaint is that the instructions need updated. It shows the wrong side of the generator for the oil fill. And in turn the instructions are incorrect. As of now I would still recommend to friends. Could change.

My husband and I bought this generator today. We came home and tested it out and it started right up and is so quiet ! Works very well and is compact to fit in a smaller space in our home for storage. Love that it offers a choice of propane or gasoline too. Now we are completely ready for the next ice storm that blasts Ontario Canada !

We bought this a month ago for our toy hauler. It’s a nice size and easy to handle. Our carbon monoxide detector went off in the middle of the night, so we moved it further away from the rear ramp door. Not sure if it helped because we haven’t used it since.

I only just received it and started it up. A word of warning - don't try and fit the entire bottle of oil, even though it says it should fit. I also had trouble replacing the dipstick/oil plug. It's either poorly machined or the plastic plug is too soft. Also, it's not as quiet as I expected, although it is supposed to be quieter than comparable models. Other than those caveats, I am happy with the features and capabilities of this unit. For me it is everything I need in an emergency generator.

Bought this unit due to excellent online reviews. Need it to power RV on vacant property we purchased. Does so with no issues. Have not tried the propane feature yet but am thinking of permanent mount 100lb tank to minimize fuel transport. Unit is quiet at a distance. I intend to use a home made directional sound box to kick the extra sound out into the woods. Overall pleased with purchase. Would recommend.

Bought this about 2 weeks ago and so far it has been good to me. I do a lot of travel shows for a ski club and 90% of the locations do not have power. I wanted to give this not so little guy a try. Only thing holding me back from doing 5 stars is the housing seems to be subpar.
