iGen5000DF

Bought two of them. The funnels are perfect for adding the oil. Both units fired off and ran well. Have not had a chance to use them or try them under a load. They required I do the review now however if I wanted the free cover. Will give a better review after I have a chance to use them.

Quieter than expected

A lot quieter than expected. Ran great out of the bow once fuel, oil and battery connection taken care of as outlined in startup guide. I don’t know if these generators are pre-tested at factory. The gas fill was wet with fuel and oil dip stick had oil on it. There was no sign of use on tires or any where else. Pleased so far.

Just What I Need

I have been procrastinating on buying one of these, but the latest storm convinced me this is a good idea. Consumer Reports highly recommends this this unit, so I will give it a try. The unit arrived in excellent condition with all parts required. As a dual fuel, I expect to be able to keep it going regardless of some area issues in supplies.

Features and Efficiency

I received my iGen4500DF last week to provide backup power to business's network equipment and servers. The low THD, less than 3% satisfies my Server's sensitive UPS power requirements. It appears I'll get close to 20 hours on a tank of gas running a 25-30% load, I haven't yet ran enough propane, but it's very efficient, burning about 1 pound in 1 hour and 15 minutes, again at 25-30% load. The gages a great, and I didn't need to use my test meters to measure the load on the inverter. The fuel gage seems accurate too.

Versatile Generator

I am happy with my 4500 dual fuel digital inverter generator. Pleaze note: The battery does not come plugged in, and directions are not in the Quick Start Guide, but it was easy to look in the booklet table of contents. It is great that it comes with oil to start (don't put in the entire container of oil, it took about 3/4) , and it comes with the propane regulator as well as a cord to directly charge the battery if necessary, although it seems to have a trickle charge to charge the battery while running . Hopefully it well run well for years to come!

So Far, So Good.

I've only had for about two weeks and only put a little more than 10 hours on the unit but so far, it's been working well. Everything works as advertised. Concerns of the lighted battery switch draining the battery while left on but the generator not running. This would occur if you used the remote to turn off the unit and let it sit, for say overnight, and wanted to use the remote to fire up in the morning. Small concern that the battery may be low/dead due to the lighted switch. I would have preferred a non-lighted switch to avoid any drain while it's not running. Other than that, this unit has preformed well so far. Writing this review to take advantage of their free weather cover, not because I felt a review was needed. I'd rather leave a review after I have 100+ hours on the unit.

I'll buy another one.

Just purchased and am pleased. Setup was easy. It will take a few pulls the first time to get fuel where it needs to be to start but after that it is quite effortless. The unit reads about 75db from a couple of feet away, but i was able to hear my phone that was sitting on top of the unit. Eco mode significantly quieter with no load or minimum load. The only issue i have is that it does not tell you how much oil it takes and you have to keep checking it as you fill to make sure you don't overfill. The oil funnel screws into the motor when filling which is nice. All in all, for the price point and functionality, this seems to be a good generator.

Love it!!!!

I have not been able to use it on my Travel Trailer yet. But, so far so good. I received my generator fast, and came un damaged. I connected my LP tank to it, really easy set-up. Started up on the second push of the start button. Ran a little rough for the first minute or two, then smoothed out. I would recommend this generator.

Ron’s very quiet even with a load on it!

The generator seems professionally built and the fit and finishe is good except for the rear exhaust is off center from the exit hole a good bit and the propane attachment coming out of the front control panel needs to be 1/8 to 1/4 inch over to the right. I barely was able to get the hose fitting attached.

Dual fuel genset powers my RV

Easy to use generator that will power my class C RV. Handles my 13,000 btu AC and microwave no problem. The watt meter on the panel seems a bit off compared to my killowatt meter, but overall nice genset. Only have 30 hours on the it, but so far so good. I recommend following the manufacturer's break-in instructions and change the oil regularly.
