Super quiet, easy setup!

Just picked up this unit from the hardware store and I'm really surprised how quiet the unit is sitting in the back yard! I tried both the gas and propane at full power (no load) and this generator is quieter than my outside A/C unit. The pull out handle at the bottom is very sturdy. Don't add the whole bottle of oil at first; start with half! Exited to use this for my camper at the deer lease.

Love it!

Just took it out of the box and had it running on propane in less than 10 minutes. That was after about 20 minutes of reading the quick-start guide and manual. Definitely familiarize yourself with everything, but this baby is super simple. Pretty quiet too, especially in Eco mode.

Great Generator

I have been waiting to purchase this generator for 6 month because everyone was out of stock. I thought about buying other dual fuel generators that were in stock but I’m glad I didn’t. This generator was worth the wait with it’s great power rating and features like remote start. I just took it out of the box hooked up the battery add gas and oil and it started on the first press of the button. Hooked up my propane flipped the switch and it was running on propane. What a great little generator perfect for powering my trailer.

Dual fuel driven purchase

I bought this for the occasional boon-docking opportunities we might have while using our fifth-wheel RV. For me, tying into the propane tanks on board seemed to make it an easy choice for the operating the generator. The generator looked great coming out the box. I’m happy to have it on board for non-electric sites. The only downside to this purchase was the overall height was 1” too high to fit under my roll-top cover for the pick-up bed. I’m hoping this unit will give me many years of satisfactory service.

Great For RV Camping

We use this primarily for camping with our RV. It runs our 30 amp camper A/C and all other 110v outlets flawlessly. Glad for the dual fuel feature. We were camping last summer in Colorado above 8000 ft. The generator ran rough on gasoline, but perfect on propane. We seldom camp at these elevations so altering the generator to run at high elevations like the instructions said didn’t make sense for us. The propane fuel option saved us.

Problems right out of the box

I unpacked the iGen4500DFc and immediately found the battery box open and the battery strap disconnected, and the battery flopping around the compartment. Paired the key fob but the engine failed to crank. Engine cranks when I use the start button. Contacted customer support and was on hold for an hour only to get a receptionist who took down my complaint. Heard back from a technician a few days later and they said it sounds like a defective key fob. They sent a replacement, I paired it with the generator, and still didn't work. Contacted them again, and by email, they said it's probably the module. They sent me a new module with poor instructions on how to disassemble the case cover to access the module. Finally got the case open and then found that the module didn't match the original. Old module has a 12 pin connector, the new module had a 10 pin connector. Now it'll be days, if not weeks before I get this resolved. I haven't even tried to start this unit yet!

Peace of Mind

Due to PSPS issues in CA, we really needed an alternative source of power. We had looked for a while and everyone was out of stock. This particular model was our first choice. So we waited until it was in stock and we are so glad we did. It started right up using the propane option. Now we have peace of mind.

Initial Impressions

Unit delivered promptly after ordering, which given the number of fires and hurricanes happening, I was pleasantly surprised. It was out-of-stock the entire fall of 2019 when I had originally decided to purchase. It still has the most features sought even a year later. The boxed unit as delivered was professionally packaged with all items present and accounted for including oil and remote. Also, a nice manual which I appreciate very much (no need to fire up a printer and download a pdf). Unit itself looks brand new and the overall impression is exactly what I paid for and expected.

Love this generator!

I wanted a dual fuel generator, and this one exceeded my expectations. I intend to run it primarily on propane, and after testing it for a few hours (on propane) I'm convinced it's up to the task for supplying the needed power for my travel trailer. It is also much quieter than I expected. 5 stars!

The Perfect Gift for My 40th Anniversary

I have been wanting one of these dual fuel generators for quite some time since here in Texas we have a lot of weather related power outages. My wife must have heard me because one showed up with a big red bow on it and a card saying Happy Anniversary! I think I will keep her for another 40 years. :-)
