Quiet and powerful

I was in the market for a generator to power my travel trailer A/C and this couldn't be more perfect. Not only will it easily power my A/C, but it allows me to not have to worry about using other AC appliances while it's running. It's also very quiet and I know I won't be bothering anyone that I'm camping near.

Solid and Capable Machine

I am still in the process of break in and keeping the load under 50%, but I am so pleased with this generator. It is reasonable silent, feature packed and reasonably priced. My only complaint is the oil change process...difficult and if you spill oil in there, you will never get it all out.

Propane or Gasoline

My wife and I did a lot of research and found this generator is the one for us. It was delivered today via UPS. Took about 15 minutes from box to starting. Love the 3 starting options and is very quite. Also like the fact we can run on gas or propane. Will be taking camping next week.

Easy Setup and Quiet

Fuel, Oil and connect the battery. Fired up on 2nd pull. Checked remote start and push button, both started it up immediately. Quick load test from my spare fridge and everything is looking and sounding great. No real run time to speak of just yet that's the only reason for 4 out 5 stars. Recommend keeping the oil container for future service.

Looking Forward to Using This Boondocking

I selected this model because it is exactly what I need to power my 36 foot, 4-slide 5th Wheel Trailer. Based upon the reviews, I expect it to be able to run my 13.5K air conditioner AND my convection microwave. Also, the electric water heater, refrigerator, and the washer and dryer. From the specs, I anticipate good fuel economy, and quiet running. My Alumascape is prepped for a Marquise 5.5kW Generator, but it is a noisy EXPENSIVE gas hog. Going to travel with the iGen4500DF in the compartment meant for the Marquise, with room for a lot more stuff. NO, I am NOT going to run it in there... This is all the power I need, without a large fuel bill, important as both gasoline and propane increase faster than the record inflation. The Dual fuel gives me more options out on the road, too!

iGen4500DF

Bought the 4500DF based on needs and reviews for my RV. Much quieter than my previous gen, so I don't need to put it in a sound retardant box. comparable to the db ratings of the Hondas. So far no complaints, works great. Wife likes the remote start, she doesn't need to leave RV in the AM when I'm not there. opted for the dual fuel version to have a second source of fuel, on the chance we run low on gasoline. The 3year warranty is a nice perk, and fairly priced. If your looking to compare, the Cummins/Onan p4500i is similar.

Quiet

Took a while to get in stock and then waited a couple of days and it was out again. Fortunately I received an email notifying me that they were back in stock and ordered right away. I picked it up and setup in pretty short order as I was familiar from researching and watching some of the video on line. Using propane it started on the second try. The engine loped a bit at first but settled down once it warmed up a bit. seemed to handle a load OK I haven't tested it on anything other than a heat gun and some fans. Waiting to get my RV back (if I ever do) from Forest river who've had it for over three months before I can try it on that. Surprisingly quiet, I don't think the videos accurately depict the noise. Mine seems to be much more quiet than what I expected from the videos.

Easy to Setup and Easy to Startup

I just received this unit and have about 1 hour operating time on it. The generator was well boxed and arrived with no shipping damage. Inspecting the unit at unboxing, I found it in good shape with 1 minor scratch. I found two small broken plastic pieces and what looks like a round plastic cover in the box. These did not seem to be part of the generator enclosed. They may have fallen into the box at the factory. The setup and startup were very simple and easy. I tried the unit on both gasoline and propane. I have not done any rigorous load testing yet, only light loads like a hair dryer. So far, the generator seems to be operating correctly on both propane and gasoline. I have one minor concern, with the Efficiency Mode off and no load the generator engine seems to hunt. That is, the RPMs cycles up and down. I'll wait and see if this behavior is due to a malfunction. But so far it doesn't seem to affect the generator operation.

Very Nice...Very Quiet

After weeks of research and seeing many great reviews for this generator, I took the plunge. Started up the first time out of the box. Difficult time finding the serial number on the machine, ridiculous to not supply a warranty card with serial number printed on it as most manufacturers do. Also, didn't like that they supply you with a container of oil, however, if you pour in all of it, as anyone would expect to do, it overflows the reservoir...as the manual tells you not to do. Should be shipped with the EXACT amount of oil required for one fill. Other than that I am very pleased, though I have only used it for a few minutes so far on a test. The dual fuel option is fantastic.

started right away

i bought this to run my pumps when my house floods. the duel fuel is the ticket and what can be better than remote start. I just followed the set up and starting guidelines pulled the rope, started on 3rd pull. turned it off and pushed the start button , boom started right up. turned it off again and used the remote and again great start. no reason to fool around plugged in my chop saw and cut away its 15 amps... so yea I'm ok so far. feeling like I made the correct choice
