great first impressions

I just opened my igen4500df and first impressions are impressive. Added the included oil with the funnel provided, installed the battery, hooked up the regulator to a propane tank and it started up and idled instantly! This generator is incredibly quiet, you can easily have a conversation right next to it. I purchased this for running my RV and have not used it to power anything quite yet.

Great Features and light weight

I bought this unit a couple of months ago and love it so far. It will be primarily used for camping, but also will give me peace of mind at home this winter for power outages. unit runs very well and is not loud at all, havent run on propane yet but will have a tank on hand in case of emergences

Exceptional inverter generator with many options.

I was looking for a generator for a long time, one that could back up my house and my small teardrop camper without surging the sensitive electrical components. This unit fits the bill perfectly and can be used for camping, home backup, and construction site use.

Great Features/Power Source

As far as I have used it, I am happy with its functions. It should get me through an extended power outage should another occur as it did here in Tx in Feb. Not to be political, but failure after failure in the face of each disaster has shown one must make their own plans to deal with these things. But build that wall!

Nice generator

Works great. Pretty quiet - especially in Eco Mode with lower loads. Easy to use. I like the dual fuel feature and the push button start. It's a bit heavy but the pull out handle makes it quite manageable. The oil and battery compartment covers could be bigger. If you have large hands it might be troublesome.

So far excellent

Been running this for close to a day. Seems to have a lot of power for the size. LOVE LOVE LOVE the remote start! Works like a charm. The only complaint I have is the location of the drain plug for the oil changes. There is a large wire in front of it that is a pain.

Great features in a manageable size

I just bought this generator. I have not used it yet, but it appears to be very solidly constructed. It is every bit of 105 pounds. I like the fact that it can run on propane so I don't have to worry about the fuel going bad. The manual says the first oil change should be after 25 hours, but many people on-line suggest much sooner. Also, it says not to exceed 50% load for first 5 hours of operation. That seems like a long time to break in. I am looking forwarding to testing and having this unit ready for the next power outage. Packaging was damaged, but unit appears to be no worse for wear. Fortunately many on-line have advised to fill the oil reservoir carefully and test frequently to avoid over filling. Will be buying a gen tent to operate on back deck.

Great Generator

This generator is exactly what I wanted and what I expected, and it has delivered. It fired up on the first push of the start button, and first pull of the recoil starter rope, right out of the box! I tested it on both gas and propane no issues it ran why 15K A/C on eco mode without skipping a beat! I would recommend this generator in a heart beat.

Great Features for the Money

I have only owned this generator for a few days, but have been researching this unit and competitors for some time. The dual-fuel capability is a real plus for me, as I plan to use this to run a travel trailer, and we always have propane on board. Initial setup was pretty painless, and it starts very easily now that we've got it running the first time. The motor runs very quietly, and the output easily powers the A/C and other accessories in my camper. The plastic trim around the control panel seems to have been damaged in shipping, but it doesn't affect the operation at all, and I'm sure that this product will see plenty of scrapes and impacts as we use it for many years. Overall I'm pleased with this purchase, and would make the same choice again if given the opportunity.
