Bought the generator a couple weeks ago. It started on the first try once I finished getting it ready. I was surprised that the battery wasn't secured before the generator was boxed up for shipment. Battery access opening could be larger and the rubber strap that is to hold battery in place should be secured with a fastener on the back side. It is very hard with the small opening to hold the strap up while putting the battery in the generator. Some sort of hook to hold the strap up while inserting the battery would be nice also. I don't look forward to replacing the battery when it eventually will be needed. The access panel to fill it with oil and then check the oil level could be bigger also. couple items that might have kept me from purchasing this generator if I had known about them before purchasing. Says it was built in Viet Nam, maybe they have smaller hands. Evidently they didn't want to secure the battery before it took the long journey to the United States. Maybe they thought it was a pain to do also since didn't do it. So far seems like a nice product which could be a lot better if the above modifications were made.

After all the comparisons with all brands I decided on this one, mainly because of its high ratings and features that others don't offer. I especially wanted the dual fuel feature. After running it today for break in on gas and LP I see why the ratings are so high, believe them when they say this thing is quiet! There's no difference between the gas or LP when it's running. just smooth and quiet. I would buy this brand again if I decide on a bigger one.

Just bought it and set up for gasoline and propane. Seems to run well with a 1875 Watt hair dryer and a 500 watt work light. The gauge displayed about 50% load. Bought for my 5th wheel next year with a 15000 BTU A/C unit. My previous two 2000 Yamaha gens in parallel couldn't always start the A/C in hot weather.

A dual fuel inverter generator with a remote! This is the ONLY unit I have found that delivers all of those features in one generator. I am THRILLED this finally came into the market. I preordered it in October and waited almost 3 months for its official debut. Worth the wait. I am a mobile groomer who uses a generator every day and NEED all of these features. Its quiet, convenient and reliable.

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.

Just bought the 4500DF put in gas and oil and it fired right up. Still in the break in period so haven't used it a lot but it handles the load and runs quiet. I did see that the manual said the foam air filter should have oil on it so I checked it and it didn't. The set up instructions said nothing about doing this. When you get your generator CHECK THE AIR FILTER! So far I would recommend this generator as it runs good and has nice features.

I used it for the first time this past week at a dry campsite in NY State. It worked flawlessly except I left the battery power switch on and it drained the battery. I'm a little annoyed that the recommended solution to fixing that problem is to plug it in to 110v AC power. Kinda hard to do that when you don't have power. I got a good chuckle out of that. It would be nice if there was some kind of audible alarm that lets you know the switch is still on after the generator has been turned off to avoid this exact situation.

Super easy to set up and started right up without any issues. very easy to move around. Shocked at how quiet the generator is under power. We will be using this for our RV while traveling. we can pull into the rest area and run our air conditioning and refrigerator while resting. Super quiet and works perfect.

I finally got the generator I needed for RV life and emergency home use! It started up first time out of the box, the generator came complete with tools and the remote start, the instructions were spot-on.... so far I have no complaints, only praise! I'm looking forward to putting it through its paces and keeping my RV cool on those warm summer days. Oh yeah, and it is very quiet... as advertised!

This was by far the most affordable dual fuel generator for the equivalent wattage and low dBs. I’m excited about taking it camping over Labor Day to run the air conditioner in my Shasta trailer! Also glad to have a backup when the power goes out at home. Thanks ERCOT!
