Exactly What We Wanted!

We recently purchased a toy hauler and had been shopping for a dual generator. We found this generator online and could not be happier. The 5000 did not disappoint! Generator started right up and put out the power it stated that it would. This generator will accompany my family on many trips to come! Great product at a great cost!

After falling victim to the “Predator”...

... I had too much “fright” to go back to the “harbor” so I decided to just bite the bullet & go w/something nicer from a reputable name brand. The quick start/setup was extremely well written & easy to follow, generator fired up from “half of crank” & worked flawlessly for my first 4 day desert trip. The smart meter feature is amazing, I really appreciate the dual fuel feature since my home runs on propane, I can hook up & use this generator from my 500gal home tank. 5 stars, all the way, doesn’t get better for the $$

Incredible Unit

I just purchased the igen5000DFC after a power outage due to hurricane Helene. Unit is amazing and very high quality. Unit comes fully assembled. Add oil, connect battery, add fuel and you are ready. I hooked up to a propane tank and it started right up. I started the break in with a few small electric devices. Very quiet and extremely capable! Get one!

Great Buy but needed repair out of the box!

This is a great product for a reasonable price compared to other brands. But the customer should not have to immediately tear the product apart to repair the choke. This is a common problem...so common there are videos of the repair online everywhere. The cable connecting the choke to the control board was not hooked up.

Works great!

We bought 2 weeks ago hoping to not use but we had high winds this past weekend and power was out for 4 days and the generator was so easy to use. Started without a hitch. Ran flawlessly. We were able to run everything but the well and electric stove. Ran on eco mode overnight without having to add fuel. Highly recommend. Only wish that would have been able to have the well work too. Will also be taking them camping.

Great Features

I got this for Xmas. I ran a bunch a tests on it and it looks good. I needed to have something easy to use and maneuver. Just looking to be able to keep a pellet stove and a few lights going in an emergency. The remote start / push button start was a must for my wife to use while I am away if needed. It is a little heavier than I wanted, but the telescopic handle makes it fairly easy to move around. It is quieter than I expected.

Great Features

Only had this for 2 days and have only run it for a few hours on my RV. So far so good. Starts easily whether its the push button, pull cord or the remote. Runs quiet. Plenty of power so far for my needs. Anxious to see how it does when the temps get hotter and I have to use the AC. I'm sure it will perform well.

Easy set up

Set up took 10 minutes, most time was spent filling oil because I couldn’t find oil capacity anywhere, had to remove funnel and visually inspect with light then dipstick. Started first time and is super quiet. Love the digital read out of remaining time and current load.

Good for the $ and decently quiet.

I bought this almost a month ago. Took a little while to receive it via FedEx. Once received it smelled like old gas and the front plastic was smashed in. Cleaned it out, added the oil and it's running smoothly so far on propane. Haven't tried gasoline yet. Had to take the front plastic apart to get it back to where it needed to go. Luckily it wasn't cracked. For the money it's decently quiet and has the power output we needed.
