Super Quiet

I ordered this to feed a heavier load RV a/c unit and am not disappointed! Love the dual fuel:I added oil and fitted the propane bottle and vvrrrrooom, off she went. LOVE the retractable handle to wheel this around with ease (even through my tall grass). Tried the remote start about 75 yards away and it worked like a champ. I hope she provides many hours of service…this is the one you want!

Very quiet, easy to setup

I bought this middle of January for a less noise and more power. Came in and put the oil and gas in according to the quick setup and started right up, no issues. Cannot believe what a difference the sound level is to my older generator. Hopefully I don’t need to use it much but I am prepared.

Great Generator

I bought this almost a month ago and I filled it with oil and gas and run it at an idle for break in for the next oil change one hour a day and it started right away no problem and I was in a little fear that it was going to be kinda noisy but to my surprise it's not much louder then my two eu2000i Honda generator's so I'm pleased with it so far.

All features I expected

I bought this last fall but didn’t use it until recently. It is everything I hoped for. Easy to follow directions, and it started up immediately. I used it on propane only so far, but even though it has less power than with gas it still was adequate for my needs!

Great Features!

Product is a lot quieter than I expected. Love the overall product. I have the iGen4500DF. The only things that don't work well are the on off switch light, wireless start remote and our Propane connection hose regulator broke the second use. Just spews Propane everywhere.

Dual Fuel - So Cool...

I bought this to use with my 17' trailer - primarily used for hunting in the winter months. The fact that it uses propane means that I just need one fuel source for both my generator and trailer furnace. The cherry on top is the remote start. Instead of cranking on my old generator for 15 minutes in sub zero temps just to get it to turn (that was me last year), I just push the start button from the comfort of my sleeping bag. So, in conclusion, it's pretty awesome.

Exactly What We Wanted!

We recently purchased a toy hauler and had been shopping for a dual generator. We found this generator online and could not be happier. The 5000 did not disappoint! Generator started right up and put out the power it stated that it would. This generator will accompany my family on many trips to come! Great product at a great cost!

Good product but needs some improvements

I bought an iGen5000DFc (why is it also referred to as iGen4500Dfc?) about two weeks ago and all I have done with it so far is ran the break-in period for about seven hours and changed the oil after the initial oil fill. The unit appeared to have had a hard drop during shipping. Both the upper and lower styrofoam packing was broken and both access panels were popped open. There was a hole in the shipping box and the battery strap is missing. The User Manual is vague and in some cases misleading regarding the operation of the unit. There is a great deal of warning information but operating and maintenance information took reading and rereading and visits to Youtube to figure out. There is very limited information regarding the Data Center but I eventually figured out most of it on my own. My biggest problem was with the small sizes of the two access panels. After skinning up my hands plugging in the battery and searching for the still missing battery strap I went to the oil access panel and used the screw in funnel that was provided for the initial oil fill which worked out good. After the five hour recommended break-in period I wanted to change the oil which I do on all my new engines. This was a problem. The block drain fitting does not line up with the access panel but after some finesse and more skinned knuckles I drained the oil. Putting the fitting back in was another problem but with a combination of wrenches, sockets and duct tape got the job done. I suggest having your engineering designers take a look at this issue as I expect it to be a problem for many unless they have access to some special wrenches and small dexterous hands. Please send out a battery strap! My contact information is with the Product Registration.

After falling victim to the “Predator”...

... I had too much “fright” to go back to the “harbor” so I decided to just bite the bullet & go w/something nicer from a reputable name brand. The quick start/setup was extremely well written & easy to follow, generator fired up from “half of crank” & worked flawlessly for my first 4 day desert trip. The smart meter feature is amazing, I really appreciate the dual fuel feature since my home runs on propane, I can hook up & use this generator from my 500gal home tank. 5 stars, all the way, doesn’t get better for the $$

Great features, flexibility of use, and low noise.

My wife and I wanted a generator to get us through the storms and Biden blackouts. This seems to fit the bill. For the price, this inverter model has less power than other styles at the same price, but it is compact and quiet. Switching from gas to propane Is a breeze.
