Absolutely Awesome Right Out Of The Box

I spent several weeks doing my due diligence in determining what brand and module of inverter generator to purchase. I settled on this unit to over meet my needs. I need something that would handle my refrigerator and also stand up freezer with extra to support some small lights, wifi/internet and usb recharging when my electricity goes out at home. This model will that and more when the day comes. Setup was a breeze and it started on the first touch of the button. I am using propane and the connections were simple. I would recommend this unit to anyone needing a very portable and yet powerful inverter generator!

Lives up to all I read about it.

Received promptly and in good condition. Read instructions and prepped for starting with propane. Cranked immediately with remote fob and ran on both ‘eco' and full power for long period. Well designed user interface panel and placement of oil/air filter/battery access area. Also well designed collapsible handle for pulling on four or two wheels - nice design idea. Ohhh! And quiet.

Great features

Works great. The remote is a super useful feature for boondocking. Only thing I was it had was a flexible drain tube like some other inverter generators to change the oil. The drain plug is difficult to get to. I used a universal joint on a socket to remove/install but I'm partially inclined to say removing the side would be easier and less messy. Minor issue though as everything else is great so far. I haven't used gas but he propane fired right up. Very quiet for the size. I only have a large 5500 watt briggs and stratton house generator to compare it to and it's way quieter than that but so is a jet engine ...

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.

Relatively quiet and quick response time

The unit was easy to set up and everything worked as designed. I ran load tests on the unit and found it to respond well to small air conditioner compressor load changes. I am using it to power certain appliance at my home during power outages in California. There has been no problem in powering up my electronically controlled appliances such as my smart refrigerator, computers, and big screen TV, room air conditioner etc. The unit is relatively quiet and I love the efficiency mode. It is a good size unit for essential backup power. Minor complaint is that is does not have a 240VAC connection and the 30A power outlet is a three wire system (120VAC). This makes it a bit unconventional when connecting to a power transfer switch cabinet. I also wish it came with a longer propane hose for connecting to a tall 125 gallon propane tank. The hose supplied is generally used with a 5 gallon propane tank. Also it is not to be left out in the rain, so I will need to build an open air cover for the unit.

Easy Setup

Very easy to set up. Starts on first push of button. Runs very smoothly. Doesn't hesitate when a electrical item is plugged in, continuous power. I needed this to be reliable, I live in a fire zone where power maybe shutoff with high wind to avoid wildfires. This will give me power for basic necessities.

Great Features!

I just bought this unit to supplement a 3700W Harbor Freight Predator. Much better design, which includes dual fuel capacity. Followed the instructions: add fuel, oil and connect the battery. All very intuitive. Started right at the first time. Switched fuel to gas propane without any hesitation. Terrific unit.

Perfect product for a power outage or camping

We borrowed this same generator because of a 3day power outage and it was the best generator ever! Our son also used his for a camping trip that made it so wonderful!! Thanks for the fast shipping of our new generator. We will never be without anymore!

Love the features

After much research and an exhaustive search i was finally able to locate the igen4500df and purchase one. Based on other owner comments this product offered the most options and a higher running wattage then other similar inverter generators. Very pleased with the results! Son also purchased one for his rv!

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.
