Bought for emergencies. Seems like it has a lot of nice features. Love the remote start. Seem like it has plenty of power and starts easy. Not sure how often I will use propane to power but it is also a nice option. Most of the time I will be running it on gasoline. Its heavy, but handle is a nice feature as are the wheels. Its also very quiet when running. Wondering how it would work operating at altitude and in the cold. Like to see the exhaust higher so it would be further off ground for camping. Can't give 5 stars because longevity is unknown at this time.

This thing has so many useful features I'm hoping it will live up to my expectations. It's off to a shaky start, though. On the plus side, the operation is easy and straightforward. Love the electric start! Love that it has an RV electrical outlet as well as standard 120V outlets. Love the dual-fuel capability. I added gas and oil (more on that shortly), left the run switch off and pulled the starter cord a few times to make sure oil was circulated. Turned the switch to on, pushed START and voila, up and running. The operating manual cautions against running it with no load so I verified it was running smoothly then shut it off. Now for the not so good. I have to agree with other reviewers. Adding oil is a bit awkward. Not nearly as awkward as draining and changing it is going to be. More bad - my unit is leaking oil. At first the leak was fairly significant. I think one possibility for it is that there may have been some residual oil in the engine left over from factory testing. I followed the directions in the manual and added the whole container supplied with the unit and, since you can't actually see what's happening while you're adding the oil, it may have overflowed and that's where the dripping is coming from. The dripping has slowed (after about 20 hours) but it's still there. I'm going to give it another day to see if it stops before I contact tech support. Other than that, it seems to be an excellent product and well worth the money.

We drove from Sacramento ca to sparks nv to buy this Generator. And so far it was worth the drive! We unboxed it, put battery and oil in, pushed the button and it started right up. My husband couldn’t believe it. Then he found the telescopic handle that he didn’t think it had. It also came with the cord to charge the battery. So happy with the weight of it as well. This 5000watt generator is going to power our RV no problem! I think we made a great choice!

I am so happy with this generator. It has all the features that I wanted, runs very quiet on both gasoline and propane, has the longest run time of all the generators that I looked at. Added oil and gas and it started right up with the electric start. It has no problem running my 30 amp RV.

This igen5000dfcv generator is very quiet and fuel efficient. I opted for the recoil start for less maintenance of not worrying about a battery. It is very easy to pull start. The run time when loaded is about 14 hours on gasoline for me. With the small 3.4 gallon tank this makes it very fuel efficient. The ability to add a second igen5000 in the future for double the output makes this an attractive buy. It is not super light weight but it is still manageable for use on camping trips. I do look forward to purchasing another one in the future if I happen to need more power output.

I have tested on propane and it picked up the load well. remote start is nicely implemented. You push the button once and it cranks till it starts even enough if the LPG line needs to purge. the monitor display doesn't work but I expect to get that solved with the company's warranty people. Will go in 5th. wheel. Engine had quite a bit of metal after ~1 hour running with a 20 amp load. After the oil change the oil looked pretty good. There is no filter on these type engines, I would recommend one of the magnetic oil level dip sticks to pick up any magnetic bits in the oil.

I'm very happy with all the great features that come with the IGEN4500DF. Same features are usually only found on more expensive generators.. I love the extended handle for easy maneuvering and the easy transfer from gas to propane. I would definitely recommend this product to those looking for a great buy!

I originally purchased the gas version. I has a display problem right out of the gate. I took it back and ordered the Dual Fuel. I had to wait for 6 weeks to get it, but I'm glad I did. This unit came well packaged and just about ready to roll. Connect the battery, add oil and gas (propane or gas) and your done. The only complaint I have is the oil. It comes with a nice fill spout but..... I know every unit is test run and requires oil for that. But, you should make sure to drain all oil. I had a bit of a over flow problem and it made a mess. Did not know I was over filling until I removed the oil fill tube. Not the end of the world but none the less a pain to clean up.

This inverter generator has all the features I need. Electrict start is great for us older people. Being able to use propane is a big plus because I don't have to be concerned with gasoline and the problems of storing gas in the unit. I previously had am older generac generator and there is no comparison. Noise level is low. My old generator was extremely loud. I also like the info panel that shows voltage as well as other info. My old generator was putting out high voltage and I was unaware if it. I have test run my new unit but have not had to use it yet. All in all I believe this will be a great unit.

Well packaged. The manual is very detailed. It even shows you how to measure the rocker arm clearance. Detailed wiring schematics. I have not yet had a chance to run the generator but have inspected the item. Will update after I run through the break-in phase.
