iGen4500DF is a good, if not a great generator

After much review. We purchased this generator for off grid camping. So far really like this little gen. Has been easy to manage and transport. With a little shielding is fairly quiet. The dual fuel feature with a 20/30 LB. LP tank, allows for a pretty clean transport and set up. So far appears perfect fit for our camper/camping needs.

LETS GO CAMPING

I bought the IGen 4500df primarily for upland bird hunting boondocking in State Forest. It is still in the break in period but has impressed me so far. I am wanting the option of the dual fuel and the 4500 status. Looking forward to years of good service.

Excellent !!

Bought this generator for my camper. Dual fuel is certainly a positive. Remote works great for starting while inside camper especially at night. Handle is convenient moving generator to different places. Very conservative on gas and propain. We will highly recomend this generator to family and friends. Searced for the perfect generator for us and we have found it.

More portable than expected

This dual-fuel generator is more portable than you might expect. My husband and I were able to lift it out of the box using the built-in handles; but the real treat was the integrated collapsible handle and the wheels which made this unit very maneuverable. Love the dual fuel option; it switched easily from propane to gas when we shut off the propane valve.

Solid Unit

I purchased this generator for camping and power outages at home. The generator I previously owned was small, 2000/1600w. It was convenient but not enough output to satisfy my needs for the RV or home. Having two small generators linked together was an option but I wanted the 30amp outlet. It's very convenient to be able to plug the RV's 30amp cable directly to the iGen. I am very satisfied with the quality of construction, power output and extra features of the iGen. I was able to power a 16' trailer directly to the 30amp outlet while charging the batteries of my RV through the 110 outlet. Also, I had tent campers nearby charging their phone and laptop from the USB outputs. The iGen is packaged well and was easy to unbox (follow the instructions) and set up. It started quickly and effortlessly with the electronic start. (The pull cable is there if there is ever a problem with the battery). I ran the unit for about an hour to break-in. I plugged in several small loads including a 1500w hair dryer over the hour to vary the output and check out the gas saving efficiency mode switch. Everything went well. It is quieter than my RV's onboard Generator. The iGen is very easy to move. The sturdy extension handle works very well when needing to re-locate the iGen. I have not used the DF (propane) feature so can't comment but I wanted that option. Cons: The iGen was missing two bolts of four used to connect the extension handle. A bit of a concern but were available from the local hardware store. Also, the iGen is heavy so although it's easy to roll around storing it for travel takes two people to be safe.

Easy Set-up and Operation

Purchased this generator to use with our travel trailer and for emergency power. Adding the oil was a little tricky and easy to overfill, but not a big deal. Having dual fuel operation is going to be great and the remote start/stop feature is genius. Had a little trouble starting on a cold morning at elevation when switched to gas so I hope that is not a reoccurring theme. Swapped it to propane and it fired right up and then ran on gas with no problem. I'm marking as excellent for now and chalking the little nuances up to break in period and learning curve.

IGen 4500DF I am banking on Westinghouse will make

Ordered this unit and first one was beat up by shipper so I refused the package. The sent me another unit and was in much better condition. Took unit out of box and and noticed back cover was not lined up with the blue sides and saw that the back cover was missing two screws. I did the setup and started it on propane and it started on first try. The generator runs great on propane but not in the eco mode it wants to surge but with non-ethanol gasoline it runs great in both modes. Much quieter than I thought. For all of you looking at YouTube videos the digital meter looks like it’s flashing but when you are running it the meter looks normal. I will be 101% satisfied once my screws are replaced and the surge is taken care of in the propane eco mode. I will post some video but my phone makes it sound much louder than it really is. Grab one you won’t be sorry!

Predator can’t compete

Bought this and 2 more. Another 5000c and a 1500c. All 3 work flawlessly and I could not be more pleased. Outperforms by neighbors Predator and he paid twice what I did. (Idiot) The dual fuel will be especially useful when gas is scarce because the station have no power to pump it like after the hurricane last year.

Does the job!

Bought for use with our camper trailer.The user manual is detailed, easy to understand and covers everything. I started it up and plugged in the camper 30A plug. I turned on all the electrical devices one at a time to see how much power they used. Then turned a few on to see what I could run together. Looks like I'll be able to run almost everything I want except starting the AC with the microwave running. It is very quiet even with a heavy load. I like the dual fuel. I'm impressed so far. Time will tell.

Efficient and reliable

Bought this generator for our Grand Design 17 MKE. I put in in the bed of my truck (make sure exhaust faces outward with tailgate open). Battery lasts all night and I can remote start from inside trailer. Also, was able to recharge a buddies systrm in less than 1 hour. It's heavy at 100 lbs. I use a standard metal cart to transfer from truck be to cart top without lifting. Very happy with peace of mind
