Happy camper

I have used this generator only briefly, but what a relief to have so much power so easily. The ease of a pull-start is surpassed only by the ease of a remote-start. It is quiet and smooth running. As I am using only propane, I can comfortably carry it behind the driver's seat with no fear of gasoline odor or flammability. At 104 lbs, it is 30 lbs lighter than my other generator, hence, it is much easier to load it into the truck cabin. Great product.

Very nice Generator/Inverter

I recently bought this generator and i'm very impressed! Very quiet, runs on gas and propane, and a very nice and sturdy unit. Shipping carton was very protective of the unit inside. Box had been banged up some in shipping, but generator and contents were all in great shape and with no marks or damage.

Very Quiet

Came quicker than expected. Instructions could have been a little more clear about connecting the battery. the oil that came with it over filled the unit... but other than that simple to get going. so far it works grate and starts on the first try every time. I plugged in a grinder and it doesn't even bump up the idle when running, I'm pleased. I had a Champion 3100 before .. This is much quieter, I'm very pleased with my purchase.. my only complaint is there is no 12 volt plug or way to direct charge a battery. If it had it I would give it 5 Stars

Very Impressed

I have a camper that we have started using on a farm where generators are the only source of power. I initially borrowed several inverter gens between 3000w and 3500w and seemed to have some issues with each one. I then purchased a 9500w powerhorse. It worked great and had plenty of power, but I couldn't hear myself think because it was so loud. After a year of that, I recently purchase the 4500 duel fuel. It did not seem to run right at first, like the choke was stuck on, but I did some research and saw that there have been some issues with the automatic choke not being plugged in at the wiring harness. It seems like this has been an issue based on other reviews. It took 5 minutes to fix that based on watching a youtube video and it ran perfect after that. I ran it initially about 10 hours at my house with nothing hooked to it and changed the oil to prepare for a camping trip. My first weekend, I ran this for 4 days straight with ZERO ISSUES. It was super quiet and never ran over 50% capacity based on the meter on the generator. What was really unexpected was the fuel consumption. I used about 1/2 the fuel that I have been using with the 9500 powerhorse. Long story short...I love this generator. I usually do NOT leave reviews, but was very impressed with this machine! I would highly recommend and I have several camping friends that will be purchasing this as well.

Feachers of Inverter Generator are very good.

I am very impresssed with this product. It arrived on time. It is light weight, started the first time on gasoline and propane. All Batteries were charged and the remote worked great. It ran my AC, refrigerator, water heater, and fans in my camper with no problems.

Amazing features, compact and powerful

I couldn't be happier with my Igen4500DF. The features make it the best of any brand I've used at a price much lower price in comparison to other brands in the DF category. Truly very quiet running especially for it's watt rating size. The easiest set up you can imagine, very easy to move around with the handle and wheels despite it's hefty weight, easy to start with any of the three methods, large gasoline capacity, all the bells and whistles I could want. Needless to say I am very pleased with my purchase.

Easy to setup and operate

First time owning a generator. This unit is well labeled, instructions make sense, and was very easy to setup and operate. It is quite heavy but the extension handle makes moving the unit around easy enough. I will be teaching the wife how to get it all set up and have no concerns about her being able to operate it.

Easy Start

Purchased this for remote camping and power outages. I love the push button and remote start features. It starts right up in less than 2 seconds. It's a quiet generator. You can still have a conversation without shouting, even when it is only a few feet away.

Versatile, feature rich and dual-fuel is great!

This generator is very quiet and the information panel is incredibly helpful. The dual fuel option offers versatility and makes it easy to always have fuel on hand. The oil change compartment could be a bit bigger, but this is a minor issue. The push-to-start feature makes it easy to start and it started up the very first time. This is an excellent generator at a great price.

Just got it

I just received this today, 03/06/2020, Got it out of the box, filled up the fluids, connected the battery and it started right up without a hitch. I let it run for a few minutes and hooked up a fan and a few other small electrical items. It seems stout and should be able to handle all of our camping/trailer needs as well as powering the essentials during power outages.
