Great value - works well jsut soem minor nits

works great - both gas and propane, bought as an emergency generator but have been using with a compressor and battery charger for power tools as we build a large shed on the back half of my lot. I might even buy another (later) as a parallel power unit (or one for shed and one for house outage emergencies. The nits are all ergonomic and obviously would need some re-design to make it PERFECT. I’m old, have bad back and bad knees and very large hands – I’m a big guy but getting down on all fours just to add oil or even view the oil level is stupid – make fill tube longer by at least 6-8 inches, add a longer dip stick and for God's sake please need a proper oil drain cock. – no “dip unit over” that’s a broken hand/arm waiting to happen. Add a way to drain the gas tank completely without having to run to “dry” – there is still gas left in tank (so yes a tank redesign) . The battery cover needs to be about an inch all around larger (the big hand's thing). Finally, a separate “quick access” panel to access the spark plug, carburetor bowl drain screw, and the choke (just in case)

An issue out of the box

I will update this review once I have more time with the generator. But right out of the box the remote control does not work. I did follow the instructions and try to re pair it also. When holding down the on/off button for 10 seconds it never gives me the green power light like the instructions say. The remote will not start the generator when you click on. I will try calling and emailing customer service and I will come back and update this with pictures and a new review.

I like the ease of using Propane

Using the propane side is so easy, as it self primes with the pressure. Nice layout and fits in the front of my 5th wheel on a slide. Direct wired to power inside with a short pigtail to use in iGen. Having the remote start makes it easy to use from inside the 5th. Would recommend for any RV user and put on a slideout from storage bay.

Great for Boondocking and Back-up Home Use

We needed a good generator to run our camper for boondocking and a back-up generator for home use. The iGen5000DFc is perfect. The dual-fuel capability is awesome and so convenient. It's small enough that a one person can handle it, albeit a strong adult person. We love it!

Looks good so far

Just unpacked my 4500DF. Packaging was great and despite the shipping company's best efforts, it arrived unscathed. Upon initial inspection, I'm glad I purchased this unit. The accessory kit is superb. Save the oil container to refill for your next oil change. I'm hoping this generator serves me for many years but time will tell.

Great piece of equipment

We wanted a year to have this generator come back in stock.We love it, well worth the wait.Great price ,quick delivery with no damage. We are using it to go boondocking with our travel trailer. Great to know we have back up power when the hurricanes come to Florida.

Easy to Operate, Lots of Features

I bought this in case of power outages in south Louisiana. After plugging in the battery, adding the oil (included) and starting it up, it ran with no problems on propane. I am impressed with teh variety of features it has. All of the propane connections are included. It runs pretty quiet. Very happy with the purchase so far.

Quiet and easy set up

Bought this unit as a backup in a weather prone area (hurricane susceptible area). Gave it a test run upon receipt and pleased how simple it was to set up. Really impressed how quiet this unit runs. Proof of the pudding will be when it’s called in service. Very comfortable it will not disappoint. BTW - this is my first generator purchase and chose the inverter unit. Impressed with the digital display of fuel, load usage, etc. Hope I don’t need to put it in service. Good insurance policy.

Solution offered

I just got this today, and follow the instructions as given. I was able to get the generator up and running w/in minutes. Very impressive. It starts on the first click on the remote. I look forward to its reliability and performance. From the 1st experience, I am giving it a high 5.

Great Buy would recommend

Worked great out of the box. I chose the model without the electric start as it is lighter, cheaper, and has no battery to keep charged/replace. Runs well on propane, however, I have not been able to start it on propane. Not really any issue as I'll be keeping it full with treated gas. . Read the manual and make sure you follow the break-in process.
