GREAT BUY

Bought this a month ago not looking forward to power outages from winter storms. Little did I know a simple 20 mph wind would take out power for 1400 people when a limb fell on the power lines. Easy to use, easy to start, maintains 2 fridges and a deep freeze easily on LPG.

Versatile Generator

Only ran it once, very quiet and fuel efficient. Provides sufficient power when needed, and cuts back to a slow idle when power requirements are low. Floating neutral, perfect for a code compliant non separately derived connection without modification.

Nice and Quiet.

I bought this earlier this month and I it has been a huge improvement for my camper. I have owned several normal generators which were loud and cumbersome, last year I bought a small Ryobi Inverter Generator which was nice but it just could not handle the load that I was putting on it. A friend of mine had this generator and I really liked the remote start and stop that it had and the amount of load that it was able to handle. I especially like the fact that if I happen to run out of gas, I can grab one of the propane tanks off of my camper and continue to run.

Won’t run on LP gas.

I bought this generator based on the many positive reviews, but have to say I am not impressed. Some of the features, like remote start are nice, but after many attempts, I cannot get it to run on propane. The exhaust fumes are also rather strong like there is unburned fuel being expelled. This unit also came damaged from the shipper. Will be contacting customer service.

Great features and quiet!

Unpacking and setup was easy. I have only had it for one day. Have tested startup on gasoline and propane under minimal load with no issues. Used the electric start which was very nice. Also tested the pull start which was easy but it was after the generator was already warm. Will have to test when engine is cold or better yet make sure the battery stays charged. Very nice, feature rich generator. My only frustration was adding the initial oil. Instruction said add engine oil before starting. Specs said oil capacity is 0.6 liters. The supplied bottle of 10w30 oil was labeled 0.6 liters. Poured entire bottle of oil into engine using the supplied screw-in funnel. Removed supplied funnel and engine was overfilled spilling oil into the generator shroud and leaking oil onto the garage floor. Very frustrating. The supplied screw-in opaque funnel inhibits you from seeing the oil level while pouring the oil into the engine.

Love this generator!

Very easy to start the first time and SO quiet! You could have normal conversation right next to it, much quieter than my lawnmower. I love the key fob remote start and options for dual fuel. It is very easy to move in and out of my garage. 100% would recommend!

Really Solid Inverter with Good Power

Bought this unit about 6 weeks ago. Traveled across the U.S. and did about 4,000 miles. Used the inverter with my truck camper to power AC, refrig and other items. Summer temps were between 85 and 95 degrees. Operated in sun and rain. The inverter casing seems watertight. The economy mode seems to cycle evenly with changes in power requirements. Put the 100 lb. generator in my enclosed trailer to haul it around.

My prayers have been answered!

I have been searching for an inverter type generator for some time. This model is the perfect combination of my wish list. Dual fuel so I don't have to deal with gasoline. Inverter style so it can power my sensitive electronics (it even has USB outlets). It is large enough for home emergencies and is also quiet enough to take with us on the road. This generator provides us great peace of mind.

IGen 5000DFc

Bought this for a home back up power source. After unboxing it I added oil connected battery and propane. It fired up first try. Ran it for a couple hours testing at different loads. Ran furnace, fridge, fireplace, 2 tv’s and several lights. No issues.that was a little over 25% load capacity.

iGen4500DF is a good, if not a great generator

After much review. We purchased this generator for off grid camping. So far really like this little gen. Has been easy to manage and transport. With a little shielding is fairly quiet. The dual fuel feature with a 20/30 LB. LP tank, allows for a pretty clean transport and set up. So far appears perfect fit for our camper/camping needs.
