Runs Great

I’ve owned several different brands of generators . So far this has been the best one. I really like the display function read out. Starts every time unlike my last one that starts with an H and is on its second carburetor and is currently sitting in my shop not running. This generator is also on the quiet side.

Super Quiet

I purchased this product for our family camping trips. We really enjoy the rustic campgrounds but would like to have some power available to handle our camper when needed. This generator is just what we needed. Its really quiet as compared to our smaller generator we have. We also love the option to run on gas or propane. The remote start option is awesome also. We look forward to using it for many years to come!

Great features, easy start

I finally got the generator I needed for RV life and emergency home use! It started up first time out of the box, the generator came complete with tools and the remote start, the instructions were spot-on.... so far I have no complaints, only praise! I'm looking forward to putting it through its paces and keeping my RV cool on those warm summer days. Oh yeah, and it is very quiet... as advertised!

Starts right up!

I bought this for a backup electric generator. Charged the battery, added oil, add gas and took it outside in 24 DegF. Started right up. I ran it several hours with a freezer and refrigerator plugged into it. No problems. It has a 3.4 gal fuel tank. Whish it was 5 or more gallons like the gas cans.

Awesome unit

Used the iGen4500DF for the first time to camp out at The QuikTrip 500 Folds Of Honor. Started her up around 7:00 PM and the next morning at 7:30 AM we still had 3 hours of run time left. We ran three 800w heaters in a 20 man tent, satellite TV and lights. The eco and dual fuel features are a must have. Also for the size of this unit it runs very quite.

Worked as Expected

I just received the generator. I set it up, hooked up the LP gas tank, and started it up. And it ran fine. I switched it to Efficiency mode and plugged in a mobile phone charger, without any problems. I turned off Efficiency mode, plugged in a 150 lb air compressor, and it started and ran just fine. I do wish it was a bit quieter, particularly on Efficiency mode. Also, several of the controls in the manual do not match up to the actual control panel on the generator. So I had to hunt around a bit to find them, to make sure I was looking at the correct indicator lights.

Checked all the boxes.

Seeking back-up generator that could serve both emergency home back-up and for camping. Combination of being quiet and dual fuel plus portable enough to take camping along with positive ratings was deciding factor. Easy to follow manual, started right up on first try. Only reason didn't give it 5 stars is the telescoping handle seems a little flimsy.

All the features I wanted.

I selected this because it was big enough to run anything in my house, it had electric start, it would run on gas or propane, it was an inverter, and it was small enough to easily move. After prepping it, it started right up on propane. To test it I ran a circular saw and a reciprocating saw together. I’m a satisfied customer.

Quiet, Powerful, Easy, and still Portable

I've used several generators for different purposes and locations from H*nda to H*rbor. On my travel trailer, had been using a highly customized competitor config with modifications for propane and to the AC so it could run the AC (wife's requirement for long summer camping trips). However, at really high altitudes (where I often camp) the propane just couldn't keep up and had to go gas (which I hate dealing with). A buddy of mine borrowed this from his friend. Compared to my H*nda, it is quieter, more powerful, and a lower net cost than all the add ons. Had to get one, which took a while given low inventories. At 100 lbs, it's not as easy to maneuver but still doable for the four times we need to move it per camping trip (load up/setup, breakdown/back to garage), and the wheels help. Out of the box with oil provided, started up first touch and ran a variable test load for 4 hrs on propane. Ran everything except microwave without ever going above 50%. Adding microwave kicked it to 75% tier, but I never actually use the microwave anyways. Changed out first run oil to synthetic, and attaching a quick release for the propane connector. Can easily disconnect the onboard battery for storage, or use the provided trickle charger. Native TT30R port means you don't even need to buy a conversion dogbone. Only minus is the oil port is buried inside, which requires screwing in a flimsy funnel provided that I'm sure will easily break. Otherwise, they've really thought through a fantastic solution for the RV boon docking enthusiast. If you see this in stock, jump on it.

Good Power and Semi-portable

This generator is just what we have been looking for when we have a power outage to run some basic appliances and devices. Tested with both gasoline and propane and both worked very well. Semi portable and telescoping handle makes it easier to move around.
