I bought this April 2019 from Home Depot online. Arrived very quickly to the store for pick up. Good packaging and instructions. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase. Powers my camper effortlessly with air conditioner. Runs well on gas and propane, nice feature is the remote starter. Received many compliments on how quiet it is and questions while camping.

The iGen4500 DF is easy to set up, just plug in the battery connector and add the pre-messured oil. I hooked my iGen to propane and then used the remote start fob to start. It started the very first time. You can also use the electric start on the machine and it has a pull start as well. I shopped a long time for generators, and this generator came to the top of the list. Powerful enough for home emergency backup. Quiet inverter technology that can power sensitive electronics. Electric start. And will run on gas or propane!

The access points for the battery and oil are definitely made for people with small hands. Scratched my fingers all up getting the pre-starting things done. The large access panel feels flimsy because the mounting points are just that, two pieces of flimsy plastic. There is a tab near the top corner that's definitely gonna get broken off during the first few times removing it. The rubber covers for the outlets and other ports seem like they'll do a good job keeping things dry/clean. The funnel that came with it is a joke. Hoping I can find an upgraded replacement for it. It's too rigid and the opening at the top of the funnel is too small and will very likely cause you to spill a fee times before you figure out that you have to pour at a glacially slow pace. Tried the pull start, single pull to get it going. It was a bit warmed up though, a cold start might be different. Overall, I wish I'd grabbed an open frame version. I'm not look forward to doing ANY of the maintenance through those inadequate little openings. I couldn't find a duel fuel at the right size though. Maybe I shoulda tried another brand.

I replaced my Champion generator of equal size and features with this one and I'm quite pleased! It's much quieter and is quite efficient and very easy to use. A lot of thought and engineering went into this machine. Even keeping up with maintenance is easier due to the display and design. I highly recommend!

I bought this for our new RV. We made a trip last month and used the unit for the 1st time. I have to say that the FOB is the best feature I have seen on a generator/inverter. To be able to turn the device on and off without having to get out of the trailer is so great.

I bought this to use on my RV but ended up powering my house during Hurricane Milton for three days. Super quiet, much quieter than non-inverters, battery start for easy starting (although pull start is not hard either), and can burn propane which is cleaner, less messy and safer than gasoline. Overall a great unit. It would have been nice to have more 115 V outlets as it has only two but that is not a dealbreaker.

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.

After extensive research, I purchased the iGen5000DFc. What a great decision it was! It has all the features I was looking for: sufficient starting watts to power up and run our travel trailer AC, duel fuel capability, 3 starting options, CO sensor, Low oil LED. Initial set up was easy. Motor oil and funnel, battery charger and a tool kit were included with the generator. The generator started up effortlessly the first time. I was surprised how quiet it runs. Looking forward to using this generator for camping and during power outages at home.

This is my first generator and I bought it based on positive reviews and brand recognition. I’ve just finished the suggested “break in” process, and everything has worked as described and expected. I’m very pleased with this unit. Now I can’t wait for our first ice storm and power outage.

My boyfriend and I are going to be traveling for quite a while in our camper, and as off campgrounds as possible. This generator is going to save us in all conditions. It’s fairly lightweight for being able to store different fuels at the same time. Love the handle for easy movability. Easy off and on toggle is super cool, and will come in handy when we want to shut it off and on from inside our camper (instead of having to go outside to turn on and off). Happy to give this company a good review— their product is the real deal!
