All the features you could want

We had a rough start with our generator since the first one could never find its RPM. This one doesn’t have that problem and seems to be pretty stable. It’s quiet, compact, fuel efficient, and runs on propane and gasoline. The electric and remote start functions are great features to have especially since I travel and don’t want my wife to have to be yanking on a pull cord if the power goes out while I’m on the road. After being without power for 3 days due to snow (in south Texas of all places) and hearing predictions of power outages in the summer as well, we weren’t going to wait around to see if we needed something.

Never Thought I’d Own One-Glad I do now!

3 prong, 30V electric or manual start. Will allow for boon docking in our 16’ teardrop trailer. Key fab for remote starting. Love that it is duel fuel, two different handles for ease of moving on wheels/very sturdy! Inverter generator for clean power (for electronics). Living in Texas, if the power grid fails again in the winter or summer, we will have a way to at least have heat/fans and keep the fridge running while charging our phones.

Great features and runs at low noise level

I have only started it to be sure it runs. Running on propane means I don't have to worry about sitting for long periods of time. Propane regulators are a bit awkward to position propane canisters. Note should be given that oil in bottle is too much for the enging. Sugest measuring the oil needed before filling crankcase.

Very well thought out portable generator.

After the recent storms, we found ourselves without power for 5 days and ordered this unit. Unfortunately we dis not have this when we lost power, but next time we will be a good shape. The unit is quiet and will run on either propane or gasoline. After the break-in period we have not used it, but over those 6 hours we could tell it was very efficient on propane and would run all our necessary items during a power outtage. Has remote start and CO shutoff. Highly recommend.

Very Good So Far

Purchased in case of hurricane power loss. Thankfully I have not had to use it yet. I did start it under both propane and gas as fuel. Worked just fine. It was a struggle to free the screw in order to drain the float bowl. Finally got it to turn after a couple application of mystery oil. Should be much easier in the future.

Great Simple & Powerful Contingency Unit

I borrowed a iGen4500 DF from my neighbor when we lost power. It powered all the critical essentials (TV/Internet, WiFi Routers and refrigerators, etc.) of 2 homes very easily - and efficiently using propane. I'm now a proud owner, and glad to have the assurance of coverage the next time we lose power!

Runs Quiet

It's a great generator for the price, however, I found a couple of issues with it.First, I never received a funnel that is supposed to be included. Luckily, I had one that worked. Secondly, the fuel selector knob was not screwed in so it pulled right out of the generator. I think it was due to alignment/tightness when installed at the factory so I disassembled the front panel to get things to line up. I then reinstalled the selector with the screw. Lastly, The LP connector the comes out of the front panel is not centered in the hole which casus the rubber plug to not fit over it when not in use. I think I will have to cut a little bit off of the rubber cap to make it fit and seal on there good.

Great generator at a great price

After extensive research, this is one of the largest and most affordable dual fuel inverter generators available. I bought this 3 months ago and have used it twice for several hours using both gasoline and propane. It is quiet, dependable and able to carry the loads as advertised. Very happy with the purchase.

No manual...won't start

Charged over night. Still won't start. I added a little extra fuel and it still won't start. I checked the connections on the battery and don't see anything loose still won't start. I added almost the entire bottle of oil it still won't start. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I checked to make sure the gas knob was turned to gas and that the eco knob was turned off to start and I unplugged the charger cord and it still won't start.
