Well designed machine.

I brought this unit home today. The instructions were well written and easy to understand. I was surprised that the recommended gasoline was 87 octane with 10% ethanol. After hooking up the battery, adding oil and fuel, I pushed the start switch and the unit took right off. Very quiet. When I added the included .6 liter container of oil to the .6 liter capacity crankcase of the unit on my level shop floor and added the plug, I had oil running out on the floor. One of the capacities must be wrong. In order to see the serial number I had to lay with my head on the floor with a flashlight. Why put it on the bottom?

All in One Pkg

I just purchased this for use when we go dry camping for both power and recharging our battery bank. It had the dual fuel, electric start and remote start that I was looking for and appears to be the quietest on the market. The true test will come this fall. It came well packaged.

Easy set up and use

Bought this Generator for the Artic freeze of south Texas! Since its ironic, i know, Texas is not prepared for extreme weather like below 40s! So this generator was a great purchase and kept my electronics in the house running a fridge and heaters! Great over all with the dual fuel stuff

All that you could expect, and more.

This inverter generator was far more capable than I expected, and all of the additional features that it is equipped with make it superior to any other unit that I had researched for purchase. It will serve me double duty for supporting my travel trailer as well as standing duty as a backup for when our power goes out.

Quiet

Unpacked it, and it started right up on LPG. Load tested it with a small space heater, and everything works as it should. Pretty quiet for such a large machine. Onboard storage for the included accessories would be helpful - I can see them being misplaced over time.

Right size for the job!

I was looking to replace my portable inverter that was stolen while at Canyon De Chelly on the Navajo Nation this summer. This unit is a bit larger, heavier, quicker and more powerful. Looking to use on my next adventure to the east coast and Florida Keys.

Met all expectations.

Easy to set up. Everything I needed was included. Took a few minutes to find the remote. It was on the pull start cord. Hooked up the battery and it started right away on gas. After run in, tried on RV. It ran everything including 13500 HVAC and microwave, lights, pumps and extra fan. Never went over 75% including surge. Also ran on propane, same conditions without exceeding 80%. So far so good! Tested on my son's RV, he ordered on as well.

Excellent Value...iGen4500DF

Bought for RV Boondocking and back-up home power. Great value to have the dual fuel, remote start, electric start, 30-Amp plug, telescoping suitcase handle, and more. Nice quality construction on the design/molding of outer shell. Relatively quiet and started right up.

It’s got all the things!

Remote start: check. Runs on gasoline: check. Runs on propane: check. 30amp RV plug port: check. USB ports: check. Economy mode: check. I mean, there’s nothing else in the market that quite has everything this one does so it was an easy choice. Can’t wait to set it up and use it with our new travel trailer!

AS I ORDERED

BOUGHT IN ANTICIPATION OF MULTI-DAY POWER OUTAGE. Will run household uses except A/C. Installed casters in place of front feet plus a PVC push-handle; made a dolly to carry two propane tanks and shore-power cords to let me set it up well outside off the garage, allows connection to household once utility breaker is OFFed. Unboxed and first-run within an hour. Installed a lock-down chain to avoid theft
