Extremely Quiet and efficient. Dual Fuel also!

I bought this RV Inverter dual fuel model earlier in the month and am still in the break in period. We have used it once so far and it worked flawlessly. My thought on the Dual Fuel is if I run out of gas I can use one of the propane tanks on the RV, made a lot of sense to me and Propane burns so much cleaner is also a plus. The only negative is figuring out how to get to the fuel valve to run the carb dry after use. Still working on that!

Met all my lofty expectations

This is the quietest generator I've ever been around, even with a metal lean-to roof overhead and a few feet from a wall on one side and a fence on the other. I've used it only with propane so far, for which it ran great. Changing the oil mildly annoying since it's in an enclosed space but that's just the way these closed frame generators are. I would buy a second one if I have a need for another in the future.

Quiet operation

Bought couple weeks ago. Just started last night ran last night for five hours for the break in period. Ran with out a hitch. Used a small griddle plate to vary the load while testing. The screw in funnel to add oil was a nice addition. Do read the manual first the quick start guide doesn’t talk about the break in period or we have some cool weather here and was thinking about starting out with the synthetic oil which is not recommended during the break in period.

Quality quiet product

After many years of deliberation about buying a generator, I finally buckled down did my homework and have been completely satisfied with my purchase of the igen4500 DF. Very quiet and reliable, didn't expect the added bonus of remote start! Brilliant. I have a friend who bought the same model. Peace of mind knowing I can run the sump pump and keep fridge going if we lose power.

So Far So Good

I just received the iGen4500DF. It looks good, started right up, runs like it should, very quiet as advertised, and produces electricity. Absolutely no complaints other than it kind of sputters on start up more than I would expect. So far completely satisfied. I would give it 5 stars in a follow up review six or so months down the road and it continues to do what it is intended to do.

GREAT GENERATOR

I BOUGHT THIS GENERATOR IN THE FACE OF POWER OUTAGES FOR THE ELECTRIC COMPANY DUE TO HIGH WINDS IN OUR AREA. IT WORKS SO WELL. THE PUSH BUTTON/REMOTE START FEATURE IS EXCELLENT. MY WIFE HAS A ISSUES WITH HER HANDS AND THIS FEATURE IS SO HELPFUL. WE JUST LOVE IT

Strong power outage backup features and very quiet

I just bought this iGen5000DFc Inverter Generator a few days ago and have since pulled it out of the box and fired it up. It started with no problem and it has all the features I think I will need to weather short term (1-2 weeks) power outages due to hurricanes, freezes and wind storms. Yes - I live in Texas.

Great Buy

We purchased this generator as first time travel trailer owners. We wanted something versatile that we could use in the event of planned PG&E power shut offs at home too. This generator has checked all the boxes and then some. Remote start is super convenient, there is a suitcase handle for easy relocation and the dual fuel feature is super convenient.

worth every penny

I bought this to run my trailer at the beach, it was the perfect combination of power, weight and fuel efficency. I ran it for 3 days continous without an issue. I had several partial bottles of propane and just switched them out as i ran out of fuel. It was so easy, a single pull and it started right back up. I was really pleased with the noise level. I had the unit under one of my slide outs in the living room and when you were inside you could barely hear it. When you were outside it was barely noticiable as well. As for the weight. I can pick this up by myself and load it in my truck.

great unit

Great generator! Easily runs everything in travel trailer including, 13,500 btu a/c, fridge , lights, and a microwave (for a couple of minutes,and at only 75 % output when all going at same time) I am about to buy a second to run at least the kitchen in house for power outage situations
