EXCELENT! STARTED & RAN PERFECT

iGEN4500D/F delivery a day early, Easy assembly: add oil & gas, connect battery lead. ran for 4 hours, then tested under load & ,voltage was consistent. switched over to propane ,was smooth with some hesitation to be expected ,low idle was not as smooth but acceptable. operated well under load. I was not able to connect to my RV it is in storage. but operated under load for an hour from 1500- 3150 watts. I also want to note this is the 04511REV01 . does not have carb/choke issues as previous one have had. I will do a follow up after I test on my RV !!

HAPPY BOON-DOCKING CAMPERS

What a great investment !!! On our first trip boon-docking we realized what awesome investment we made. Was very easy to assemble everything, battery, oil level and to start what a breeze. Worked just like said it would, very quite and efficient just like said would be . Our travel trailer has AC, refrigerator, water pump and heater and everything worked flawlessly either on a farm , golf course, campground or anywhere you need power. Now the best feature of all, my wife woke up on the middle of the night , raining and everything was so dark, she need to use the restroom not knowing I had set up the REMOTE CONTROL TO START FROM INSIDE. That was the icing on the cake. Highly recommend and remember you'll be much happier when your partner is a happy camper. PS: also installed an adapter to my cabin in the woods so I can use my new generator as back up power whenever winter comes around.

igen5000DF

I bought the generator new two weeks ago.The fit and finish on the generator is top notch. Set up was very easy - adding oil. I like the threaded funnel tube that prevents spillage. A nice feature. Instruction manual easy to follow. It started right up on propane with the electric key fob. That's going to be a nice feature to use from inside my camper on a rainy day. My son and nephew already have this model for the past year and they love it. That helped in my decision to buy this one.

So Far So Good

Went through the setup steps which were easy. Battery is easy to connect. Does not require all of the oil that came with the unit. Tried to start it up on gasoline. Would not crank and run until I switched the ECO switch to the ON position. About four hours later, it would crank without the ECO switch being in ON position. Also cranked up using propane. It would not start up on propane using the recoil start but it would start up on gasoline using the recoil start. Nice to have the basic tools need to add oil, attach propane hose and remove spark plug. I have not put a load on it to see how it operates. Only four stars since I could not get the recoil start using propane and have not put a load on it. A storage compartment for the tools would be nice.

Won't start on Propane

I bought this unit specifically because of the electric start and propane capability. I've had dual fuel generators in the past that are difficult to start on propane. This one fired right up out of the box and now 5 days later will not start on propane. It does run nice and quiet. Too early to tell if its going to work out.

Great Features but Have Not Used Yet

This came in yesterday and though I have not had an opportunity to fire it up yet, it has great features for the price. The oil was a little difficult to put in and the oil drain is not easy access but still manageable. The weight is only 98lbs empty and fairly easy to move with the wheels and handle.

SO FAR GREAT

Bought to run all my Rv needs. So far no issues. I did a lot of research and decided on this due to the dual fuel, Price range and features. This also comes with a tool kit for the Inverter and a nice screw in Oil fill that helps keep the mess down. The included battery charger is nice for the unit to have.

Great quality and easy setup

Found the unit to look like very good quality. It was very easy to set up and started on the first try with the remote on propane. I purchased this because of the dual fuel capability and the remote start. Just breaking it in right now, but will be using it with my rv.

Very solid machine

Bought this unit for my travel trailer and home emergencies. The unit feels very solid and well built. It's noise level is better than I expected. I like all of the features and the meter display is nice, so there's no guessing when to change the oil and other routine services. Very complete package with great manuals. Haven't taken it boon-docking yet and I'm excited to use it Great warranty compared to other makes.

Runs Great, with Power, BUT BREAKS!!

I purchased this generator in February 2022, but did not get to test until late July. The generator started immediately with the electric starter and continued to start during initial testing. Worked on gasoline and on propane. I am pleased with the electric start as well as gasoline and properation operation. The only negative comment is that the generator is louder than my 20 year old inverter generator. ON THE SECOND (2nd) MANUAL START, SOMETHING BROKE ON THE MANUAL STARTER AND THE ROPE WOULD NOT RETRACE. THE GENERATOR IS DOWN WITH 3 FEET OF ROPE HANGING.
