Back up, electricity at home and Camping.

I'm impressed how easy it was to add a quart of oil and pull the cord and voilĂ  I had power. It comes complete with tools, a funnel, oil and good instructions. The most important thing to me was to be able to use propane and or gasoline. As an afterthought, I probably should've purchased the unit with an electric starter but it's 73. I'm still capable of pulling the cord to get the power lol.

Premature rating, but positive so far

Got this a couple weeks ago and went through the break on period. While breaking it in I tested all the features to see if it was working properly. So far so good. Just what I was looking for. Now it's ready for it's true test; power outage. Quite at idle and low watt items. Does get a little loud when under heavy strain. Oil change is a bit cumbersome. Nice compact package. Nice features. Like the recoil backup start. Love the propane option. Handle vibrates when running, a little annoying. Plastic cover showed some minor damage. Overall it should meet my needs and it's what it promised. Pretty minor complaints, but it did make me knock off a star.

I finally got it!!!

I have been waiting months for this generator to get here. We have friends that we camp with that have this generator and it is wonderful. It is quiet, starts every time and runs on propane. The propane is so much less trouble, and runs cleaner. We go deer hunting and the remote start is a blessing first thing in the morning when it's raining and cold. I just can't say enough good things about this camper ready generator. We just love it.

Nice generator

The generator was easy to set up and get running. It worked well for us when they had to shut our power off to upgrade our breaker box. It started right away and didn't have any issues. We ended up having to run it for about 10 hours, and it hummed along nicely. The noise level was nice, and was barely audible through our closed back door about 15 feet into our back yard. We plan to use this mainly for camping, but also for backup power for our fridge in the event of a power outage. It so far has worked nicely for us.

Quality generator

This is an excellent product. It was ordered online and delivered on time with no issues. Set up was quite easy thanks to good directions and inclusion of tools such as oil, wrenches, and connectors. The primary reason this generator was purchased was its dual fuel capability and both worked fine. This generator is portable however it would be better if total weight was less. Happy with this product and am confident it will be reliable in an emergency.

Powerful and quiet

I bought this inverter to power my refrigerator and some lighting during power outages. The generator is super quiet, easy to operate and has more than enough power for what I initially wanted to run. I plan to add a few more circuits to my transfer switch given the generator's capacity. Highly recommend.

Unit is ready to go after adding oil, plugging in battery and adding gas. Beautiful generator! Hoping it lasts a long time!!

Quick and easy starting process

I bought this generator for use with our RV trailer. Generator powered up all our most important appliances with amps to spare. Easy start up process instructions. Didn't take long to test after unboxing it and prepping generator to start it and turn it on. Glad I bought it.

Has a remote!! And is very quiet

Looks great, has this awesome little remote, which is it necessary? No, but it makes operating it just a little bit nicer:) Lightweight and easy to maneuver with the wheels & handle. Very quiet, which was the key feature I was looking for besides dual fuel because nobody wants to have the loud generator in camp. Will wait and see how it runs long-term before providing feedback on that.

Super quiet

I bought the IGen4500 Dual Fuel about two weeks ago and just finished the super easy set up. The product came damage free, was packaged very nicely and the set up even for a guy who's never owned a generator before was pain-free! My initial though upon start up, is how quiet it is! The remote start paired easily and it has been running for 30 minutes already while I write this! I look forward to using this over many years!
