So Far, So Good.

I've only had for about two weeks and only put a little more than 10 hours on the unit but so far, it's been working well. Everything works as advertised. Concerns of the lighted battery switch draining the battery while left on but the generator not running. This would occur if you used the remote to turn off the unit and let it sit, for say overnight, and wanted to use the remote to fire up in the morning. Small concern that the battery may be low/dead due to the lighted switch. I would have preferred a non-lighted switch to avoid any drain while it's not running. Other than that, this unit has preformed well so far. Writing this review to take advantage of their free weather cover, not because I felt a review was needed. I'd rather leave a review after I have 100+ hours on the unit.

Easy to setup and easy to use.

I bought this 3/26/21 and received it 4/2/2021. Heavy but manageable particularly with the slide out handle for ease in rolling. Setup is easy. Impressed with quality. Will report back once I have accumulated operating hours but very happy with this generator for dual fuel RV usage.

Dual Fuel iGen5000DF

It came today, and it was easy to take out of the box. I love the wheels, and it seems it is very easy to make it work. I look forward to this hurricane season with a dual fuel generator that can run a small a/c unit, plus other items. Hope I do not need, but it is wonderful that I have it, just in case.

Well designed generator, delivers as promised.

We outgrew our 2200w Hon** suitcase inverter and needed to upsize. After doing some research and talking to other RVers we chose the igen4500. A bit sceptical since we didnt have any direct expierence with Westinghouse generators or inverters but the iGen4500 had lots of features for a very reasonable price. Especially appreciated how EVERYTHING was included in the box with the inverter... oil, tools, funnel and even a battery charger! Unit was very easy to prep for use and started up with a simple push of the remote. So far only have 30+ hours on the unit but to date it has performed very well and has easily exceeded my expectations. Definitely recommend the iGen4500 to anyone.

Awesome Product

I purchased this item due to positive reviews on youtube. I am so pleased with my iGen4500DF Inverter Generator. The generator will run everything on my Fleetwood Toy Hauler RV and having the piece on mind for back up power when the hurricane winds came thru here in Alabama was so reassuring. The generator is well build, runs super quiet, I love the fact it will run on gasoline or LPG, the remote start works well and the control panel on the front, with the voltage display is awesome. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Solid product. Detailed manual

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.

Clean Fuel Power and Remote

This generator has the key features for using on a RV. Connecting to propane offers easy of access to fuel and clean fueling. No need to carry a gas can around, a secondary propane tank on my RV fuels this while the other runs my RV equipment. Propane tank exchanges are super easy to find. No more spilling gas. The other big plus is the remote feature. Being able to start and stop the generator from within the RV makes use super clutch. The remote allows me to conserve propane. The only reason I took off a star was because it would let me give it 4.5 stars; the initial unboxing revealed plastic fitment issues and small defects in finish, purely cosmetic.

Love the Dual Fuel!

The iGen4500 DF is easy to set up, just plug in the battery connector and add the pre-messured oil. I hooked my iGen to propane and then used the remote start fob to start. It started the very first time. You can also use the electric start on the machine and it has a pull start as well. I shopped a long time for generators, and this generator came to the top of the list. Powerful enough for home emergency backup. Quiet inverter technology that can power sensitive electronics. Electric start. And will run on gas or propane!

Quiet and EASY to Start

We bought this a month ago and love how quiet and easy to start. We waited a LONG time for this generator to get back in stock. After reading and watching countless reviews, we only wanted this generator for our camping trailer and if necessary for our home. It is heavy, but my husband and I could could lift it into the back of our truck (and we are seniors). So far, we are thrilled with this product.

Love the dual fuel option.

I bought this for boondock camping and am glad I did. The unit is very quiet for the watt output, much quieter than my open frame generator, camping neighbor friendly! The dual fuel option comes in handy when one of the fuel sources isn't available. The semi pneumatic tires and extending handle make it easy to maneuver the unit around, even over rocky or grassy campsite surfaces. Would definitely recommend.
