This review is for the iGen5000DFc. I've only had this generator a few days, but it started up with no issues running on gasoline. I have not tried running it on propane yet. The generator was bigger than I thought from looking at the pictures. The retractable handle worked well for moving it around. After letting it run for about an hour unloaded, I ran my compound miter saw and vacuum cleaner with no issues. overall, i am happy with this purchase so far.

I was wanting a dual fuel generator to give some flexibility while camping and this one fit the bill perfectly! It arrived in great shape, after reading the quick start instructions/ adding engine oil and fuel it fired up on the first try. Very happy and satisfied.

I just bought this generator two weeks ago and it was very easy to setup and get it started. The remote control worked the first time and the on and off button also worked. I figured I’d have a hard time pulling the generator around but it was very easy with the handle and wheels. I love the fact that I can use it on gasoline or propane.

I've used the generator twice and both time used propane as the fuel. It started right up and held a constant 120 volts under varying loads. I never intend to use gasoline because it just causes carburetor problems unless you use it often. It's a very quiet generator. I'm very pleased.

I’ve owned this generator for about 1 month and even though I haven’t used it to power anything in an emergency situation as intended, I highly recommend this unit for the following reasons: 1)Starts right up, right out of the box and the couple of times I started it afterwards. 2)Duel fuel - both gas and propane worked flawlessly so far. 3)Quiet compared to other bigger generators. 4)Enough wattage to use in an emergency situation in a compact, easy to move/store size. Note: The automatic choke switch was attached and functional In mine. (Others reported a problem where their units had choke switch not plugged in - easy fix either way. ) I feel mine is running a little rough through break in. I’m thinking about changing/updating spark plug to see if this helps as others have stated.

Great features. Docked 1 star for difficulty starting it. I filled it with stabilizer treated gas and allowed to run for 10 minutes after initial setup. Several weeks later it would not start after many attempts. Started right up after using starter fluid.

I haven't powered much with it yet, but is ridiculously easy to start and operate. I would have given five stars, but the included manual appears to be for a different revision of the generator, because the picture of the control panel does not match the actual control panel. The latest manual available on-line appears to match the actual control panel, but some of the described decals are different from the ones on my generator.

I am hugely impressed by this product! It has all of the features I wanted--inverter, dual fuel, very quiet, remote starting, easy to move around--and it comes with everything needed to get it up and running immediately, including a quart of oil. Perfect for my needs as a backup when the power is down.

Bought this during the big Puget Sound outage of November. It only ran for a day before power came back, but I'm glad to have bought it. I love that it can use propane, so I don't have to deal with gas storage and carburetor cleanup over time, and it's very compact and relatively quiet. It is quite heavy though, but the wheels and carry handle help. However, for 5 starts it would have to be perfect, and this has some missed opportunities. Adding oil in the beginning was an absolute pain, the oil cap is buried at the bottom, and the funnel provided is minuscule. A cheaper 2000watt generator from a diff brand had a much longer and easier funnel. How hard would be to put the oil cap and dipstick somewhere at the top? And I found the remote start/stop pretty pointless - what I really need, is a remote control to turn the eco mode on/off, for when I need to start some big honkin' motor, like a portable AC/heatpump or dehumidifier. These will overload the generator in eco mode. And you do want to have it in eco mode most of the times, it's thristy :) Otherwise highly recommended. I was eyeing this for a long time, wish I had bought it during some previous shorter outages, instead of half way through a 5 days one. If you are like me, and still on the fence whether to buy one or not, you now know what to do...

We just bought this inverter generator to replace our older, less powerful generator. This generator is really well made and also thoughtfully engineered with the operator in mind. Everything is easy to reach, view and check. They have even included an extended oil funnel that screws into the oil chamber to minimize oil leakage or spills. The generator started the first time with a push of the button; the remote worked perfectly as well. Tested it with a load, and immediately handled without issue. I really appreciate the CO monitor, the built in wheels, the handles and the long front extension handle to enable easy movement and placement of the generator, even with someone who has had several back surgeries. I would highly recommend spending the extra money for this relatively quiet, smooth running inverter generator - you will be glad that you did!
