Great Directions

I bought the iGen 4500DF a few weeks ago and just got around to set up and testing. Hurricane season starts next month. The directions were very easy to follow and start up was a breeze. I never had a generator before and was a little skeptical, but the simple and easy to follow instructions made it a snap. I'm almost looking forward to a power outage knowing it will be easy to set up and go.

seems like a good unit

Have not used it yet. It started easy and runs well. Waiting for the electrician to tie it into the house panel. Seems well built, quiet, good quality. Smaller and quieter than expected. Only issue was the instructions say to add the entire bottle of oil that came with it. However mine already had a small amount of oil in it (pretesting?) so it overflowed and caused a mess. I feel good about this purchase so far.

Great power and quiet!

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.

Easy starting and very quiet

I recently bought my generator for camping and was quite impressed with just how quiet my new IGen4500DF generator ran. I'm also very impressed with the remote starter which allows me to start the generator from inside the camper, a feature that I appreciated when the snow hits overnight.

IGen5000DFc Inverter Generator

I bought this 2 days ago. The packaging was excellent. When preparing the generator I noticed the battery support strap was off. One of the places where the strap connects was broken. The connections are plastic so I guess it happen during shipment. I did not call service because I fixed it myself. This is why only 4 stars. After adding oil I fired the generator up using gas. It cranked right up. I am very glad I bought this and would recommend it to anyone looking for this type of Inverter generator.

Quiet and Versatile Generator

Purchased to power a travel trailer and in the event of power outages. Box was shipped well protected and setup was straightforward. Started on propane and ran perfectly out of the box. Retractable handle is very useful for moving around the house and campsites. Very happy with my purchased so far and look forward to using this for years to come.

So far its working well

Did my first oil change at 3 hrs and again at 8 hrs. I was shocked at how much metal was in the first oil change. There were large shavings, and a ton of glitter. Still glitter in the second. I will change it again at 15hrs. Manual does not clearly state break-in time, but says change oil after first 25hrs and do not exceed 50% load during break-in. Also the batteries for the remote came dead and the regulator came with rusted screws and corroded aluminum. After replacing the batteries in the remote, its a great feature to have. I have not put any gasoline in mine yet and plan on using propane exclusively. I live at 4000ft and use this at altitudes slightly higher. A high altitude carb kit is required for altitudes above 5000ft (its just a jet kit). Not sure if this applies to propane operation.

Perfect for potential household emergencies

I bought this particular generator after looking at many brands and models, and selected this because it has a dual fuel feature, runs quietly, provides ample power, and comes from a company with a solid reputation for reliability and durability. So far, I am not disappointed!

COMPACT AND EFFICENT

we bought this item because we live in an area that seems to have a lot of power outages. we live in an apartment complex so compact is very important to us. This not only fits well in our space it also has an option to use propane , which is very handy.

Amazingly quiet and reliable

I’ve owned this inverter for over 2 years now and it has worked flawlessly. I have only used it with propane to keep it as clean as possible, and I do not regret my purchase one bit. It starts with just a push of a button each and every time. Absolutely love this product and highly recommend it to friends and family. This is worth every penny.
