Great Unit

We purchased two inverters so we could lpower our 5th wheel. Both fired up right away and ran very quietly. We did overfill the oil reservoir on the first unit, since it did not take .6 quarts. We also purchased the combiningunit which has color coded leads which the iGen4500DF does not. Two minor issues, and we look forward to many col or warm (heater or AC) days out in the wilds.

Great features!

I bought this two weeks ago and received it shortly thereafter! I broke it in by running it on partial power and changing the oil three times on one hour intervals! I found changing the oil to be very difficult! I hooked it into my circuit breaker box and powered the house with it! It seemed to work very well! Of all the generators out there I highly recommend this one! I like the electronic gauges and the fact that it runs on propane and gasoline! I found switching it very easy with barely a hiccup when it changes over from one fuel to the other! I love the remote starting feature! When hooking it to my circuit breaker box, it was very convenient to be able to turn it off and on from inside my house! Until I build a soundproof minny garage for it, I will bring it into the house after use! When I bring it into the house after use, I cannot smell any gasoline! If you click the cap on the tank it seals it real good!

iGen5000DFC

I just bought this Inverter Generator for possible emergencies. I was looking for at least a 5000 peak watts and a generator that adjusts to different loads (saving gas) and was portable. Have not had a chance to use it yet, but I bought it based on other's recommendations. Will review after I use it.

My prayers have been answered!

I have been searching for an inverter type generator for some time. This model is the perfect combination of my wish list. Dual fuel so I don't have to deal with gasoline. Inverter style so it can power my sensitive electronics (it even has USB outlets). It is large enough for home emergencies and is also quiet enough to take with us on the road. This generator provides us great peace of mind.

Having both gas and propane fuel sources is great

I purchased this generator as a backup for when we loose power I have not had a chance to use it for a power outage yet. However, I have run it for the break in period. I have been very pleased with the ease of use and the amount of power it has. Overall, I am very happy with it.

Good generator, just an inch from greatness

Bought this during the big Puget Sound outage of November. It only ran for a day before power came back, but I'm glad to have bought it. I love that it can use propane, so I don't have to deal with gas storage and carburetor cleanup over time, and it's very compact and relatively quiet. It is quite heavy though, but the wheels and carry handle help. However, for 5 starts it would have to be perfect, and this has some missed opportunities. Adding oil in the beginning was an absolute pain, the oil cap is buried at the bottom, and the funnel provided is minuscule. A cheaper 2000watt generator from a diff brand had a much longer and easier funnel. How hard would be to put the oil cap and dipstick somewhere at the top? And I found the remote start/stop pretty pointless - what I really need, is a remote control to turn the eco mode on/off, for when I need to start some big honkin' motor, like a portable AC/heatpump or dehumidifier. These will overload the generator in eco mode. And you do want to have it in eco mode most of the times, it's thristy :) Otherwise highly recommended. I was eyeing this for a long time, wish I had bought it during some previous shorter outages, instead of half way through a 5 days one. If you are like me, and still on the fence whether to buy one or not, you now know what to do...

I'm impressed

I just received this yesterday. I put gas in and hooked up the propane. I started it on gas first and it started immediately. Then I started it on propane. Same thing. I was really impressed with how quiet it is. I haven't had it under a load yet. I need to start breaking it in. So far I am happy with it and am looking forward to using it. I am going to need a high altitude kit for it and the parts are listed in the book.

So far, so good

It took minimal time to unpack and set up using the quick start guide. Opening to oil dipstick is a tight fit but manageable. Started first try with electric starter during first start test. By coincidence I had a home power outage that night and was able to test generator function immediately in 85 degree weather. Rested comfortably on my couch running a fan to cool me and light powered by my generator for 1 and 1/2 hours without any issues. Noise generated by generator was slightly above normal conversation level. All in all very pleased with the ease of set up, ease to start, and first try normal functioning.

It’s got all the things!

Remote start: check. Runs on gasoline: check. Runs on propane: check. 30amp RV plug port: check. USB ports: check. Economy mode: check. I mean, there’s nothing else in the market that quite has everything this one does so it was an easy choice. Can’t wait to set it up and use it with our new travel trailer!

Works Great! Super Qiet

Very happy with it! I got this inverter generator to mount on the front trailer tray on the RV. The remote start is awesome as it lets me start if up and use the air conditioner while boondocking, without even having to go outside. I was very impressed with just how quiet it is while in eco mode and just how smoothly it starts up. A must have for any RV enthusest.
