Was worried about how loud it was at first.

When we first started it in our back yard, it was very loud. Luckily it was because it was surrounded by fences and our house. We moved it to the front yard and it was much quieter. The remote has worked properly the few times we have used it, and the running off propane is working great. Once we get a couple more hours on it I plan to swap the included oil out and try normal gas. The eco mode ramps up perfectly, and it powered our test 1500w heater perfectly fine. Looking forward to using it on our RV.

Simple, powerful, and long over due

With a 100 gallon propane tank and this unit -- my mind is put at ease. I waited too long to get a dual fuel unit like this. The unit was easy to setup, install the propane line, and test. It will be used for backup purposes for the entire family. Looking forward to many years of service.

Great features!

We needed a generator for our new travel trailer and this one checked so many of the boxes! Many of our friends have the other well-known brand, but we really liked the features on this generator, especially the power, dual-fuel feature and that it's quiet. And the blue color matches the trim on our trailer!

perfect BUT

I was elated to find ALL the features I needed and made in the USA by an American company! But, I purchased 2 of these, a month apart and BOTH had shameful defects in assembly. Things like : The battery was just stuffed in it's compartment with loose terminal connections and strap not hooked. and the battery compartment cover was just lying in the bottom of the box. Not sure if the battery bouncing around pushed the cover off or, whoever put the battery in, just threw the cover on the box. The other had loose bolts rolling around in the shipping box. I figured out where they all went except one square nut with a threaded hole in it. I have no idea where it goes or to whom I can send a photo of it so I can get instructions on how to proceed or if I should not bother and just return it! My purchase was inspired by my appreciation of Westinghouse designers that came up with the A4W Nuclear reactors for Aircraft carriers and so many other outstanding success stories. I need 2 covers for my 2 Igen 4500df generators plus a text from someone that can help me with this extra nut... it looks special & important.

Great Little Unit

Love the package, and quiet operation. We use as power for our 33 ft fifth wheel. Plenty of power for a/c and other demands. Have not used it in full anger yet, but expect great things. I would recommend this for solid 30 amp service. Dual fuel is a bonus.

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.

Great generator power and quite

We bought this generator as we had a power outage for 5 days. It was super easy to use and start up, we have not tried propane with it yet, but it worked fine on gas with long time. It pulled our sub pump fridge and other appliances well and was quite and efficient. Let's just say husband's new toy is a hit!

Wow!

This was the easiest new equipment start up ever. Opened the box, took it out. Hooked up the battery per the very good instructions, and added the oil. Connected it to the propane tank and pushed the start button on the remote FOB. It started right up on the first try. Wow this was so easy. I did a lot of research and comparing, read hundreds of reviews. This was a great decision. I will be using this for my RV and for power outages at home. I purchased a cargo carrier with a ramp, so I can roll this generator on to it, never having to lift it. The extending handle on this generator makes it VERY easy.

Perfect size, Well engineered, Easy maintenance

I bought the iGen4500DF last year, when PG&E started the power shut off stuff! It's the right size to run most of the essentials in my house. (no large appliances) Meaning, the frig, the freezer, Phone, TV, internet, the microwave, coffee pot, electric tea pot, and the wife's hair dryer. I found it to be just small enough to lift into the door of the trailer but you should probably use a ramp, its not that light. My bathroom scale says 114lbs. Its powerful enough to run the roof A/C with propane. With the RV extension core I bought separately, I can wake up in the morning, press the remote from inside the trailer, 50 ft away and have a Real cup of coffee! The generator has a service cover for the air filter and the oil. On the oil side, there is an actual drain plug over a rubber plugged hole in the bottom of the cover, to be able to change the oil without making a mess! Nicely thought out. The wheels and the stowaway handle make it easier to move and use without having something to trip over. I like that it shows the hours of run time, so I know to change the oil or clean the air filter. It has two USB charging ports that work well and 12v port that I haven't needed yet to charge a device or use with the supplied plug in 110v charger, to keep the generator's starting battery charged. I have only owned it for a year and used it on two camping trips and four power shut offs, but it's fairly quiet and starts every time.

Exactly as advertised

I read thru the manual and went thru the startup procedures. The instructions were clear and generator started right up on both propane and gasoline. I tested all of the outputs with a variety of loads and the generator performed as expected. I'm ready for the next power outage now!
