Small, quiet and plenty of power, great features

I bought this for our cabin to replace a much bigger generator we have that is so noisy it drives me nuts! I needed this to run a water pump, some lights, occasionally the coffee maker and a small microwave as well as some power tools. My biggest concern was the water pump, and it handled it with no issues! Also bought it because it was dual fuel and we have propane run to the generator shed, so we wanted to continue to utilize that. Plus the remote start is the other thing we needed! Who wants to go out in the snow to start something first thing in the morning? This little unit was exactly what we needed!

Exactly what I was looking for!

After doing my research, I decided this was the generator I needed, allowing for the duel fuel option, I am so glad I didn’t settle on a generator that is only gas. It is so easy to start! It is pretty heavy to lift, but the handles allow for easier rolling around. Even my wife can do this! It’s such a relief to be prepared now for power outages in addition to having a reliable generator to take camping.

Super quiet and started on first button push

I brought this iGen4500DFc because of the dual fuel capability. Propane use is a big plus and less messy than gas. What I did not expect is how quiet it is compared to my old generator. It also started immediately with the first push of remote start. Overall, this will be a nice addition to our household during the stormy season.

Love that it is Dual Fuel!

Brought it home - filled with oil - connected battery - filled with gasoline - hooked up to Propane. All super easy! Pushed electric start button and it immediately started and purred like a kitten. Easy switch back and forth from gasoline to propane. Seamless! I love it! Perfect for my Fifth Wheel Camper!

Has what you need when needed most!

Bought it at the start of the month and since then had a few major storms roll through the area leaving us without power for a several hours a couple times now. With this generator everything was covered - from a fridge and freezer, to some electronics that needed power. It was a perfect price for a great product when it was needed most!

Works Perfect!

I received this item yesterday. I bought it for my RV. After installing the provided oil and hooking up the battery I hooked up a propane tank and it started right up. I plugged it into my 5th Wheel and was able to run one of my AC units without issue. I really like the remote start option and the dual fuel.

Great emergency and camping generator

Purchased this last month and have tested it with our camp trailer and running a couple of appliances in our house incase of power outage. Works really well on gas as well as propane. The remote start and stop is really neat. No more getting out of a warm bed to start the generator while camping.

Excellent Product

I just purchased an IGen 4500DF generator with remote. The whole set up was easy and connected to propane. It started started right up on the first try using the remote. I also used the recoil start and it also started right away. l might use gasoline once I go outdoors this coming weekend but I really like not having to mess around with gasoline containers. I am looking forward with to our camping trips showing movies of the "Great Outdoors" to our kids. We will not miss our family movie night.

iGen4500DF

Just received my new generator in only 5 days .It was packaged very well. I did a visual inspection all look good ,the only thing I noticed was the L.P. Rubber cap that protects the L.P. fitting would not stay on, I noticed that the L.P. fitting was not centered so the rubber cap will not push on , no big dill. So I put the oil in and connected the battery and hooked a L.P. tank up to it and it started the second try. I was hoping it was going to be quiet and it is. I love it I can't wait to go camping. Thanks for a making a great generator.

Magic in a blue box

I bought what seemed to be the last iGen4500DF in stock in the US from Acme Tool (a fine, family owned, upper Great Plains company) who worked with me to have it to me in time for a prolonged time on the road. Thank you Acme! Just the fact that it was in such short supply speaks to good features and performance, not supply chain issues. This has to be the easiest-to-use piece of technology I've purchased. Push a button, whether on the unit or on the remote, and you have "angry pixies" to run all the things you can't do without. And the neighbors aren't any the wiser that you have the benefit of power when they may not. It is light enough to lift into the back of a pickup, starts so easily that I don't have to break a sweat, is quieter than the AC unit it drives, and can run on both gasoline and propane. I look forward to using the retractable pull handle the next time I take it with me on my next commercial flight. (Not really, but it pulls as easily as many checked bags.) This generator is my go-to over a white labeled, open-frame, Honda driven 7800W generator. And
