Super easy and quiet

Bought this 2 months ago to run my RV's air conditioning while boondocking in the summer. Love that it's duel fuel and has a remote to turn it on and off. Changed the oil after 50 hours use- make sure you have a 10mm wrench and elevate it or oil will get everywhere. Overall, great investment. Added a bike alarm to it and bike chain to deter theft.

Seems great BUT ...

... 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

Amazing

Love the look! Starts up with no effort at all. Very quiet and runs my RV. I'm looking forward to taking it out for a full run. The only issue I had is one of my screws kinda stripped but it still screws in and I only have to open the side to clean the filter.

Nice product runs quiet

Would not start out of the Box. This is a closed frame unit. Had to disassemble to Plug in a wire for the automatic choke. This would be an easy fix at the factory .So that the customer would not have to do this. It is running good now. Would have rated higher if not for the choke problem

UPDATE to my 7/7/2021 review

Very happy with this generator. I have just used it with various load levels and it operated as expected each time. I had all lights, fans, refrigerator, microwave, tv, and air conditioner on all at the same time and the generator performed flawlessly.

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.

SWITCHED FROM HONDA

PRIOR TO BUYING THIS GENERTOR I USED TWO HONDA 2000 GENERATORS IN PARALLEL MODE TO GET THE WATTAGE NEEDED FOR MY RV. PROBLEM WITH THE HONDAS IS THAT IF YOU NEGLECT AND LEAVE FUEL IN THE CARBURETOR THE HONDAS WILL NOT START AND IT CAN CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE REQUIRING A REBUILD. THIS GENERATOR BY BEING DUAL FUEL YOU CAN LEAVE GAS TANK EMPTY AND JUST RUN ON PROPANE AND WHEN YOU SHUT THE PROPANE TANK VALVE THE GENERATOR WILL BURN UNUSED FUEL QUICKLY.

Very Handy

I just purchased this iGen 4500DF and so far am very pleased. Hooked up the battery and propane tank and it started after about 10 seconds to purge out the propane line. Remote start and dual fuel was, in my opinion, a necessity so I can start it from inside my RV and use my onboard propane as fuel (but have the option of regular gas if needed). Fairly quiet but I will be adding a remote exhaust in the near future. I hooked up some 1000 watt shop lights and a bench grinder and it showed a 25% load which I considered appropriate.

I just got home with it!

I got home took it out of the box and filled it up with oil and gas and two pulls fired right up ran a jigsaw to test to start with, the real test will be in a few weeks when we start using it on the race car trailer! So far so good though I'm very happy with it.

Very quite

I have only had the iGen4500DFc generator for a few weeks, but it has worked flawlessly so far. After adding the oil and connecting th battery, it fired on the 1st try with both gasoline and propane fuel. I was surprised how quite the unit is as well. I prefer the inventor closed type to the open type.
