Well Designed

I've been very pleased with my purchase. I've run it on both gas and propane with no problems. Well-thought out design and plenty of features, easy to move around with the wheels and handle. I like the digital readout, and being able to charge up the battery using the supplied charger.

Love Remote Start & Running On Propane

I bought the IGEN4500DF for RV boondocking and home backup power. Love the remote start when in the RV and I can connect it to my remote propane port at the rear of my trailer. It's very quiet near idle and fairly quiet even when running at full bore. This is only only generator I could find with propane, auto-choke and remote start. Very happy with the purchase!

Nice Generator

Just got my generator. Added some synthetic oil and fuel and it fired right up. Had to use it immediately because we had apower outage due to huge snow storm. Worked great. Also tried out the propane feature and the unit started right up..no issues so far. Gave it a 4* because it is still new and I haven’t had enough time with it. Very happy so far. Also have a 2500 and it has worked well too. Thanks!!

Quiet

I appreciate how quiet it is for the size and the built-in handle and wheels makes it easy to move around. We purchased this to run a portable AC unit and refrigerator in our house as a backup power source. Being able to run with propane is a huge benefit since propane is a stable fuel and can be stored much longer than modern gas with ethanol.

Happy camper

I have used this generator only briefly, but what a relief to have so much power so easily. The ease of a pull-start is surpassed only by the ease of a remote-start. It is quiet and smooth running. As I am using only propane, I can comfortably carry it behind the driver's seat with no fear of gasoline odor or flammability. At 104 lbs, it is 30 lbs lighter than my other generator, hence, it is much easier to load it into the truck cabin. Great product.

My iGen4500DF

I have a Westinghouse open frame 7500 watt generator. I bought the iGen4500 because it is rated to be much quieter than my open frame generator and has low THD for sensitive electronic products. Have run the iGen a couple times for very short periods. It is much quieter than my open frame. Let's wait and see how it operates when we have a power outage.

Great for camping

Works great for camper. Only used once for camping can run everything on our camper at the same time. It was on the hitch mount carrier and could not hear it inside with TV on low volume. No more setting generator 50ft away from camper to have a conversation. Don't try to start on eco mode, if it doesn't start the first try, check the eco mode switch.

Great options and power for price, recommend

All systems working as normal, shocked that this brand does not get more attention. This is running Refrigerator and freezer, also have full Wi-Fi covered to office space, microwave and one furnace. Cannot ask for more at this price, power and low decibel rating.

Great size for travel trailer

Love the remote start. Wattage is perfect for our 20ft travel trailer. A bit bigger than I wanted, but we wanted enough wattage to guarantee our AC running. Also wanted dual fuel to keep from having to carry gas. Propane much easier. Plan is to keep it in back of pick-up (with topper) when camping and just run the power cable to it. Will have to figure out the exhaust eventually. Maybe I will post an update after I use it more.

Everything that I could've hoped for.

After a lot of research over more than a year I settled on this generator. I have been very happy with the purchase so far. It runs smoothly and quietly. It powers more than I expected and adjusts quickly when my RV air conditioner kicks on. I would recommend this generator to anyone.
