Good price

I bought this last month. Thankfully haven't had to use it yet. Cranked easily first try and ran quietly. Too heavy for a 65 year old woman to pick up but old woman and old man husband were able to pick up and set on back of truck. has an extension handle and rolls easily.

Very Well Built!

We bought this Generator for boondocking while camping in our Casita Trailer. It got to us WAY quicker than expected. I was extremely well packed for shipping. It arrived fully assemble. Just add oil and gas, oh, and plug in the remote start battery. Only problem is one that probably can't be fixed.... the weight..... about 100 lbs. very quiet. I would highly recommend ..... I do NOT regret this purchase......

Awesomely made generator!

This is the first generator I have ever owned. I love the simplicity and ease of use. It is very well made and looks great. The initial set up is simple and easy. I feel much better knowing I have a reliable power source when our power goes out.

Great features.

I bought the IGEN 5000DFC yesterday. I found this unit to provide lots of great features. The multi display is outstanding and provides full status of the unit while operating. The dual fuel option is really a great feature as well. A couple items that I found could be improved: 1) The manual is vague on the operation. Fails to say how to turn the unit on specifically & how to turn it off. I figured it out & its simple.by pushing the round start button to turn on & also to turn it off. 2) Read the manual fully before operating. Fortunately I did this. The unit ships without any fluids in place. Must service the engine oil before you start it. 3) Engine oil service port is small & difficult to get into if you have larger hands. Otherwise, This is a great unit. Quiet and delivers as expected.

Camping in the western states National Forest

Planned a long road trip out west and will be doing some Boondocking. I Bought the generator for my Bighorn 5th wheel camper. The size and exhaust layout work well to store in front compartment. It could be hooked up with an exhaust extension for outside ventilation. With the remote key fob you can start or stop the generator on demand.

Unboxing and initial setup went smoothly

I just received the iGen 4500w Dual Fuel generator and unboxed it. No damage, in perfect condition. Made in Vietnam. The written instructions are well done and up to expected grammar standards. All maintenance panels are easy to remove. Connecting the battery was a bit of a challenge for my man hands but eventually got that done. Based on the weight of the generator, I'm glad they provide a collapsible airport-luggage style handle, makes moving a breeze. Warranty registration can be done online. I bought this large home generator for peace of mind. I'll do the engine break-in and change the oil. Other than that, This will be a "Break Glass in Case of Emergency" item and I plan on only using propane for fuel. I think this will be an awesome generator.

outstanding generator

I love how quiet and powerful this generator is. I really like the remote start so i can crank or shut down from inside my home or inside my RV! This is my 2nd unit and I have 300 flawless hours on the first one! I like the propane feature on this unit my first unit is only gas

Great Generator

I ordered this Generator June 1, 2020. The Generator was on back order so it was delivered today October 30, 2020. That is a 5 month wait. I was not happy about this. Once the generator did show up I unpacked it and followed the installation and start up procedures. Everything was simple and straightforward. Started the generator up on propane, engine started right up with no problems. Ran quiet and remote start and stop worked great. Also tried out the elect start and the pull start both worked great. I almost cancelled my order but glad I didn't as I believe this generator will serve my purposes as I originally thought. Maybe the Covid 19 has held up the production of this unit?

Great Upgrade

I had a small old generator that sounded like a semi using air brakes. And it would only run one or two small items, like lamps. Having the dual fuel, more power, wheels and handle, and quiet running capabilities makes life in an emergency much easier.

Solid product

I just purchased so not a lot of time on it. But the generator is solid, well built, easy to use. Instruction book is very easy to follow. Love the little extras like the pull out handle. The remote is the best part. No going out in the cold to turn off. Looking forward to years of use.
