Love this generator!

Very easy to start the first time and SO quiet! You could have normal conversation right next to it, much quieter than my lawnmower. I love the key fob remote start and options for dual fuel. It is very easy to move in and out of my garage. 100% would recommend!

Very mobile with great features

I brought generator right home and couldn't wait to get it running. Just select your fuel and start it up. Runs nice and quiet. Plenty of AC power. Easy to move around with attached handle. Plus, you can't beat the remote start/stop. Especially when it's raining.

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.

Piece of crap

Piece of crap, it went through 25 gallons of propane like there was five generators hooked up to the bottle. I went out and looked at it and propane was coming out of the black part of the regulator. It won't run right, when it runs, it might run for half an hour and then it surges and shuts down.

IGen5000DFc

Bought this unit for power outages to run a couple of refrigerators and some computer equipment. Unit is very quiet and the electric start was charged and easy to use. Make sure you “connect “ the battery—- was not in the startup instructions. Have not had to use for outage yet but seems pretty straightforward.

Everything a Camper needs

We live near the coast in North Carolina and I had been wanting an inverter generator for the camper. My friend bought the iGen4500DF and recommended it to me. This is the perfect generator for a camper. The ease of operation and how quiet it runs is great. It not only looks great but runs great as well.

Best Deal for the Money!

This unit was the only one I could find that hit all the buying points. It has remote start/stop, it's very quiet, great rating with previous owners, digital readout shows everything including run time left on remaining fuel and how much fuel is left in the tank, dual fuel so propane is an option, it's very easy to move with the wheels and has a pull out handle.

So far so good

Bought this generator for powering our 5th wheel while boondocking. Have been camping in the Western Sierras for the past week with one more to go. Temps are averaging 100 to 106. Have run this generator on propane only for 8-10 hours a day powering one and sometimes two 15k AC's (both have EZ Starts) with no problems. Love this generator for it's features, ease of operation and power. Hope it lasts forever!

Beautiful generator. Super quiet.

The size is a perfect fit for the compartment and matches the wattage I need to power my inverter. My only issue is that the directions instruct me to disconnect everything from generator before starting. When power fails I need to remote start the unit to provide light. It's a low load draw so I hope this doesn't become an issue. The included manual is one of the most comprehensive publications I have ever seen. I could probably rebuild the unit looking at the pictures provided. Highly recommend. Great value.

Easy to set up and easy to start

I bought this a week ago to replace a large, non-functioning generator, as a back-up for home power during outages. It is compact and fits in the garage, it was easy to set up and started right away. The propane option was also a great idea for back up fuel.
