All the features I wanted

I've just had this a day but I was very impressed when I pulled gently on the recoil starter handle to test the compression and it started right up! After that I started it a number of times using the battery/starter, sometimes with the remote fob. Everything worked. It is quiet enough that you can have a normal conversation standing beside the unit while it is running (in non-eco mode at about 1/2 power output). It also handled my RV air conditioner plus the electric water heater (which I would not run while on generator, really). It would not handle the second air conditioner - undoubtedly because of the starting current. I haven't tried the propane fuel, yet, but I intend to shortly.

Dual Fuel is a perk

We had been using a smaller Honda gasoline generator and decided we wanted an inverter generator with propane. We dry camp a bit and carry gasoline for our ATV, but we plan to travel with only the camper and being able to just bring propane (which will be used for the camper also) is a big bonus. So far, we just picked it up and ran it a little to make sure everything worked OK. Our residence is at 5200 ft. elevation, we camp around 8,000 to 10,000 ft. It appears we'll need 2 or 3 jet orifices for altitude adjustment, so that will not be as convenient as other generators we've owned (Onan 5500 had just a slide adjustment for altitude). While securing the small starter battery, we thought the strap had broken. On looking closer, the metal clip is split and allowed part of the rubber strap to slide off. Easy fix and hopefully it stays in place.

Nice Generator

Purchased the IGen4500 because of all the features - auto start, dual fuel, remote start. Have not used the propane to run it as of yet, but it runs great on gasoline. Starts very easy with the push button start. Only issue I am having is with the remote start. Does not work. Every once in a while it will shut off the with the remote, but will hardly start it.

Just what I needed!

I was wanting a dual fuel generator to give some flexibility while camping and this one fit the bill perfectly! It arrived in great shape, after reading the quick start instructions/ adding engine oil and fuel it fired up on the first try. Very happy and satisfied.

Extremely Discriptive

The Gen4500DF was exactly what I was looking for. Duel fuel options was very important to me so I would have the ability to find fuel that would be available during any emergency. The control panel is conveniently located in the front. With the weight being around 100 lbs it is easily portable on its attached wheels and handles. Remote start was a pleasant surprise. I sincerely hope I will never have to use it but the actual operation is quite simple. I am very pleased with my purchase and I do have a reputation for being very critical with how I spend my money.

All around great generator iGen4500DFc

It arrived and with the quick start up instructions, the unit was running in 15 minutes. Tested under load and it barely flinched. Remote started the unit from 250 feet or more. The RV 30 amp port is a big factor in buying this unit and the dual fuel feature.

Great Generator

Purchased two of these iGen4500DF generators to parallel and power my 50 amp RV. Got them home, followed the easy to understand directions and fired them both up. I'll have to break them in before paralleling them, but I'm pretty confident they will work out just fine. The remote start/stop is a great feature.

Little power house

I bought this to power my RV and I have berly seen it go above the 25 % . It run good and it's quiet I cant hear in side the RV its not to heavy I was abel to lift it waist high to service it at the 25 houre mark. Over all i am very happy with it. I gave it a 4 because the oil fill hole was very tight for my hand to do the oil drain,

Well Built!

Opened the box, reviewed the Start-up procedures, started it up and ran straight away! I researched for this product for a while. I love that it is dual fuel. I use mainly LP when traveling in our trailer. I hate to carry gasoline inside the tow vehicle with kids. Can't wait to take it on the road next month!

iGen5000DFc- started right up put of the box

I bought this generator because I wanted the option to run propane if needed. Delivery was easy and there was no real assembly required beside hooking up the battery and adding oil. Started right up with the button, remote, and pull cable. Runs pretty quiet too. Excited to use it more on camping trips.
