iGen4500DF nice features

Purchased this generator as a second backup generator for home and rv use due to its dual fuel capabilities. We were at a campground this past weekend when a storm shut off all power to the campground for approximately four hours. I was able to pull out the iGen 4500DF and run it for a short time, as a few others utilized their inverter generators. Made a hot and humid day in the south (90degrees+) no issue. This inverter generator was quite and handles the 30amp load (13.5k BTU air conditioner) without issue. Additional features (remove,dual fuel, fuel shut off valve) are a nice addition. One additional note, the generator is about 100 lb dry weight so it takes a little effort to lift and move around if removing from an elevated storage area.

Exactly what I wanted, quiet with dual fuel

I bought this to take to hunt camp and just regular camping. Item arrived, filled with oil and gas and immediately started up, switched to propane and didn't skip a beat. Another great feature was the remote start. When it gets really cold here in Colorado, it will be nice to have that feature.

I think I got a lemon

Normally I would have left 5 stars because I initially loved this generator. It was so compact, powerful, and easy to crank. And who wouldn’t love that remote control cutoff? However, after owning it for like two weeks, we noticed that if the battery for the remote start ran down, we couldn’t even crank it by hand. Isn’t that the purpose of a generator? To generate power when there is none? Needless to say that’s been frustrating. Then my pull cord snapped in two. It’s January. We got this thing in like November. So I think I got a lemon. But I’m optimistic that this is an unusual case and that it’ll get better.

Very Quiet

I just needed a generator to power a handful of circuits in my house (fridge, gas furnace, etc...), and this fit the bill. Quiet enough not to bother the neighbors, but enough power for what I need. The dual fuel option is nice to have if necessary. I added oil and it started up first try. I've only run it for a few hours to break it in, but so far very impressed.

Better than the Champion it replaces

Just received a couple days ago. Delivery via FedEx Ground was a bit clunky as it was four straight days that the FedEx website stated delivery was coming. Once I got the generator and set it up and put it through a trial run, I am glad to have made this purchase. Though slightly heavier the extra power and quieter operation is worth the upgrade from the Champion 3500w inverter we use to take on camping trips.

Liking it so far

I haven't started it yet but unboxing it has been fine. It was shipped with good packaging to protect it. Only one cosmetic blemish on the front cover but it's a generator and I'm sure it will get plenty more bumps and bruises. Looking forward to using it on our RV soon.

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.

Hopeful

I bought this generator as it seems the same as the Cummins model only blue in color and about $50 cheaper. It started right up using propane and it cycled as expected when I cycled the 15k RV A/C on and off. It ran at 50% load while A/C was running on RV. I only plan on using propane feature so I can’t comment on using gas side of unit. I expect this unit to last quite a number of years if not decades.

Easy starting

I wanted to try the pull start after putting oil and gas in it. To my surprise it started on the first pull and idled perfectly. After connecting the battery, the key fob and push button start also worked flawlessly. I'm still in the break in period but am excited to see how well this handles my camper. As we plan on boondocking this year. I read a lot of the reviews where most were very positive with a few negative simple quirks. I am pleased to say that right out of the box I have had zero issues. Not really sure why but I want another one!

Works great!

We bought 2 weeks ago hoping to not use but we had high winds this past weekend and power was out for 4 days and the generator was so easy to use. Started without a hitch. Ran flawlessly. We were able to run everything but the well and electric stove. Ran on eco mode overnight without having to add fuel. Highly recommend. Only wish that would have been able to have the well work too. Will also be taking them camping.
