I bought this generator for emergency purposes and in the event of a power outage. I research generators for some time and concluded that the iGEB4500DF is the best to get for the money. Out of the box, everything looked fine, I followed the instructions to set up the generator. According to step 3 on Initial Oil Fill, it states, “Using the supplied funnel and oil, pour the entire bottle of oil into the engine.” Well following that instruction, I had oil leaking out of the oil fill hole. Meaning there was a lot of residual oil left in the engine. Your manual for the iGEN4500 reference residual oil, but your iGEN4500DF manual does not state anything about residual oil. The amount of oil leaked out and the amount I had to drain from the engine is much more than residual. Please make sure your iGEN4500DF manual warns users of the possibility of residual oil in the engine and to pour the oil incrementally and check the oil level between each pause. The generator operates well, it starts on the first try using all three starting options on gas or propane. It is very quiet without a load applied. With load applied you can hear the increase in noise level, but overall, it is still extremely quiet for a generator of that size and output. Yes, I would recommend the iGEN4500DF.

I just purchased this for use when we go dry camping for both power and recharging our battery bank. It had the dual fuel, electric start and remote start that I was looking for and appears to be the quietest on the market. The true test will come this fall. It came well packaged.

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.

Severe storms rolled through the area and lost power for 25 minutes. Neighbors were out for up to two weeks so decided to invest in inverter generator to keep furnace on in winter and fridge and freezer working in summer. Works great, started right up and provided flicker free stable power.

I purchased two of these as back-up generators (along with the parallel connecting cable) for our home. They run quietly and reliably. The only drawback is the weight. At over 100 lbs each, they are not easy to lift into a vehicle. The wheels and extendable handle do make moving them fairly easy on paved areas, as do the carrying handles on top. Just get help if you are going to lift them.

The iGen4500DF- Dual Fuel generator is a excellent generator its running a freezer, a refrigerator and some lighting and outlets in our house with no problem. Also we will be using it for our RV. Its very quiet and really like all the features it offers really like the duel fuel and the pull handle which makes moving it really easy. It runs great on propane. I feel is a well made generator and would purchase again.

We purchased the iGen4500DF prior to moving to the mountains. I am very happy with the size, how easy it has been to set up and the portability of the unit. It provides great output for power tools and connects directly to our travel trailer. The push button start can take several tries before turning over-hopefully this improves as the unit is used more often.

Operates as advertised, very heavy and relatively quiet. Will not operate with auxiliary propane line from camp trailer. Nowhere in the manual or web description does it identify how much propane pressure is required. Will only operate directly from a portable tank.

It couldn’t have been any easier. I unboxed the generator, added the supplied oil and made the battery connection. I connected my extra propane tank, turned on the power switch and used the remote start fob to start it up. It started right up. Then plugged in a small 1500watt space heater. The engine changed pitch slightly and the heater was throwing out heat. Never again will I be without heat and basic life support for my family.

Brought the iGen4500DF home 9 pm in the pouring rain. We unloaded it and planned to open it up and try it out the next morning. As soon as we got in the house the power went out and my son and I went back out and got the generator running using flashlights to read the manual. We did overfill the oil, maybe because we were in a hurry, so that took time to drain out before we could start it up. We got the generator running and it worked fine. I still need to get it set up in the correct location and read the manual thoroughly, but I'm happy it was there when we needed it.
