Very Quiet

We purchased this generator to charge our EcoFlow system in case of a power loss. We easily got the generator up and running and were amazed by how quietly it runs. We appreciate the dual fuel option and the multiple ways to start the generator. We highly recommend.

Very nice design and great features.

Very well engineered with easy to pull out handle for moving it around. Dual fuel feature on this particular model which is a big convenience. It has enough power to run my RV and I can start it up remotely. The only negative is I would like to have a 12V outlet which is not available

Love it.

We purchased this generator about a week before Hurricane Helene. It was a lifesaver. The wheels and handle made it easy to transport from garage to porch. It was so much quieter than our previous generator. As a matter of fact, the noise of my neighbor's generator two doors down was louder in my house than my own sitting on our porch. We had no problem operating two refrigerators, fans and multiply charges. Would definitely recommend this generator.

Easy to use!

I had our caretaker buy this last Fall but only needed to use it the past 2 days after a terrible wind storm blew through here. I'm a novice, but it was all pretty intuitive to set up and everything went smoothly. It was not too noisy or smokey, seemed efficient and didn't burn through the little Blue Rhino even after some 10-12hours of use. Also, it's not that heavy -- I got it down some stairs by myself and with my wife's help got it back up the stairs after use.

EASE & FLEXIBILITY OF OPERATION

This generator gives the customer the option of operating it with either gasoline or propane gas which is a great feature. Easy push button or remote start for the ladies! Should be a great piece of equipment to get us Floridians thru the upcoming hurricane season. Great for those of you in the northeast during the winter months for snow and ice storms when power goes out.

Paid for itself in 1 week

I purchased this item a few weeks ago. I live inside a national forest where it winds and rains often blowing branches onto power lines causing power loss for many hours at a time. This occurs about 30 times a year, shortest downtime being an hour and longest being 6 days. Last week I lost power twice for about 12 hours each time and this unit kept my kitchen area and frig running perfectly, saving about $600 worth of frozen/cooled items, twice, hence $1,200 saved by a unit that cost less than that just in 2 weeks! Easy to connect and very quiet to run.

More than a light weight Generator

The feature of dual fuel is highly desirable and the other panel controls are exceptional. At 4500 peak watts, this is a pretty hefty portable generator. Because it is a invertor type it will not harm any of my home appliance electronics if used during a power outage. And it has plenty of power for power tool use at a remote job-site.

NICE

IT works un boxed , battery compartment door missing . Good intstuctions . filled oil w/ provided oil / funnel (nice touch) oil dipstick hard to reach with fat american hands to far back . Would be good if they told u how much oil to put in . Started right up on propane falterd 2x restarted & ran for 20 min . put small load on throttle speed seemed to pulse but ran OK .Turned off waited ckd oil level / added 1 gal of gas ran under load for about 3 hrs . Throttle speed speed up under load as it should but still seemed to pulse w/ eco switch on of off but ran fine .Remote start seems to have limited distance which could be improved @ 50ft .Propane regulator was included but the hose supplied is to short to keep the tank away from unit IMHO easy fix longer hose w/ quick connects . Purchased to Power 5th wheel trailer & A/C w/soft startT .Will see in the coming weeks how it holds up . Overall think its a good product came w/ 3 yr warrnty as opposed to HF preditor same model & price which only had 1 yr

Powers my 21-foot Jayco with power to spare!

I have had other generators that were hard to start, noisy and limited. No more sweating pulling that starter rope, now I have an electric push button start. I love the USB ports so I can charge my cell phone without a brick. The Data center keeps me up to date about operating information.

Plenty power for 23’ TT

Recently purchased a Wildwood FSX 163RDSK and the iGen4500 is plenty of power with most appliances, pumps, and load on… even when the AC surge occurs. Sound Db is a bit higher than expected with eco off — needed for AC surge. During cooler weather, eco mode is much more quiet. It’s probably overkill for trips without AC, but nice to have the option for unexpected southern weather changes! Unit arrived with battery drained and initial start with pull cord was a no-go. So if it has trouble starting from arrival, plug in the unit to charge the battery for a few hours. Even then it took 2 starter cycles for it to kick in. From the on, it has started right away… pull cord, button and remote. Recommend.
