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.

Great Product

I bought this to replace a smaller wattage generator because of the noise level my other one made. We tailgate quite a bit and having a loud generator became a nuisance. This iGen4500DF delivers not only the power and lower dB's but the ability to use propane...which is a plus! I read many reviews about this generator before buying it and so glad that I join in with the rest.

Simply awesome!

Let me start by saying build quality of this unit is above reproach and the attention to detail is equally commendable. You can tell there was pride taken in the manufacture of this device. The unit came with all tools needed to set it up and they weren't just cheap one use tools either, they are nice chrome plated tools. There wasn't a nick or scratch anywhere on this unit inside or out. User manual is well written and it even came with a parts manual and a wiring diagram! Operating instructions are displayed on the top of the generator making it easy for anyone to operate. Another nice add is the carburetor has a drain hose built right to drain the carb after use which I have never seen on any units that I purchased in the past. All the controls, display and connections are laid out ergonomically and labeled plainly. The only thing I can think to add to this unit to make it even more awesome would be a ¾ inch wrench to snug to propane hose fitting and a bag to attach to the generator to store the tools and propane adapter. If you have any doubts just by it!!!

Quiet and loaded with features

I bought this generator to replace a very loud generator I have owned for many years. I always felt like I was disturbing the entire neighborhood when I ran that one. This one is quieter than I ever expected, and even quieter on Eco mode. The display for run time remaining, power being used, and hours run is fantastic. This generator has everything I could ever want. I usually have a full tank of propane at the house as a spare for the grill, so with dual fuel capability, even if I've used all the gasoline in the mower, I'm still good to go when I need generator power.

Long time coming!

I have been shopping around for a generator/inverter for years. I have particularly been interested in a duel fuel option. Hauling around propane cylinders instead of gas cans seems like a safer option. I am still going through the 5 hour/50% max power output, but am very pleased so far. The unit is very quiet as advertised and I am waiting to see what full output will sound like. With 3 starting options (push button, remote and pull cord) I am sure to be able to get the gen started when needed. Overall very pleased so far with my purchase and feeling more secure in the crazy weather Nebraska can dish out. Camping has a lot more options now too!

AWESOME GENERATOR

Bought this for my daughter for the power size ratio so it was useful but light enough for her to move. It is very well thought out and engineered, easy to use, relatively quiet and great looking. She can roll it around easily though it take two to lift. Highly recommend.

Quiet operation

Bought couple weeks ago. Just started last night ran last night for five hours for the break in period. Ran with out a hitch. Used a small griddle plate to vary the load while testing. The screw in funnel to add oil was a nice addition. Do read the manual first the quick start guide doesn’t talk about the break in period or we have some cool weather here and was thinking about starting out with the synthetic oil which is not recommended during the break in period.

Super quite and last long time

We bought this model based on customer video reviews and actual tests that customers put on this model. It lived up to those test on numerous trips thus far. The actual low dB was pretty impressive and the ability to run so many items on a 30 Amp has been great. We have experienced the same choke issue mentioned by a few customers and the corrective actions are fairly straight forward. Hopefully that won’t discourage folks from one of these inverter models. The actual runtime was incredible for us. 3.5gal ran the 15k ac off and on all night, two CPAPS and an oscillating fan for over 8.7hrs…used only 45% of the gas…propane is expected to go longer. The display of info is great.

So Far, So Good

I purchased this dual fuel iGen4500 DFc generator a month ago and though I have not needed it for a power outage yet, that is primarily why I purchased it. I had help from a neighbor who is more experienced with generators than I to set it up and get it running. I then ran it myself for the 5 hour break in period that day as we were expecting a storm. I have given it 4 stars because it was a bit challenging to get the battery hooked up, due to the fiddly strap and positioning it properly. Also, it took a few tries to get it to start, and finally started it with the remote at a distance. The instructions said to vary the load during the break in period, and I used a hair dryer to accomplish that. I’m hopeful that I can give a more detailed review after using it for a time. I chose it because it has features that allow me, a senior female, to move it around easily, use different fuels, and use the digital readout to give me up to date info on fuel, load, running time etc.

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.
