Did the initial break in period and so far works great. Wish the propane line was longer. Seems to take two to three push on the start button to make it start on propane, but it does start and runs well. Did some testing on db, and so far not getting the 52 db, but need to get better testing equipment to totally test this. A little on the heavy side, but manageable. Not sure why it comes with a remote start, because documentation says not to start the generator with load on, therefore, in most case you would have to go disconnect the load on the generator before starting it anyway.

After a lot of research over more than a year I settled on this generator. I have been very happy with the purchase so far. It runs smoothly and quietly. It powers more than I expected and adjusts quickly when my RV air conditioner kicks on. I would recommend this generator to anyone.

We just received this generator in preparation for the camping season. I put in the oil, hooked up the battery, and followed the rest of the prep instructions and it fired right up first try. I let it run in my garage for 5-6 hours in -10 degrees and it did not have any issues. It's fairly quiet without a load, we will see once we get it hooked up to the camper. I am confident this will run all my appliances with some to spare and costs a fraction of the red one we were looking at.

I personally bought a Igen4500DF for myself that has perfirmed flawlessly, and decided to get a second igen4509DF for my parents. I put oil and gas in the new, pressed the button once and it started right up. Threw on a hair dryer for load and ran it till the gas finished.

I bought the IGen 4500df primarily for upland bird hunting boondocking in State Forest. It is still in the break in period but has impressed me so far. I am wanting the option of the dual fuel and the 4500 status. Looking forward to years of good service.

This compact generator is definitely a great buy and a workhorse. Two months after I bought it for backup power during Texas hurricane season I had to put it to work. Power was out for only 12 hours but I had prepped it and ran it several hours in the months prior and it performed flawlessly. It has great features and is very intuitively designed. Sound is minimal at low load and it ramps up quickly and gets louder but still, at max, is quieter than most other cheaper gens. The manual also has reasonable periodic maintenance unlike some cheap models that require service way too soon for basic parts like brushes that should last fore years and years before needing replacement - read the manual first before you decide. Definitely would buy another!

I bought this product with the intention of using it for a family outing. To my surprise, this turned out to be a value added product. It performs well, runs great and the dual fuel feature is a winner. I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet the generator ran and even more pleased with the run time on a tank of gasoline as well as with the propane. I'd recommend this product to anyone who's interested.

Great all around generator.Bought this a month ago, it has been work out well. Use it to top batteries off at night if solar didn't capture enough during the day. It is quiet, quick remote starts and fuel efficient. Run it on mainly propane as this seem to contaminate the oil less. Maximum power draw on my unit with everything going 2300 watts. So this unit has no problem keep up. Average draw is 600 watts. So far I really like this gen. Pull start easy as well. Time will tell how durable it is

I purchased this a week ago to get ready for a planned electric outage. Added the oil, followed the directions, connected the propane tank, and it started right up. I will be keeping the starter battery charged with a battery conditioner to ensure it is always ready to start up.

The iGen4500DF performed as expected during a 4+ hour power outage. It appeared to have no problem powering: refrigerator, freezer, microwave, coffee maker, 2 circuits of lights and receptacles. This generator runs quietly, relatively speaking. It is very easy to set up and connect loads to.
