Solid product

I just purchased so not a lot of time on it. But the generator is solid, well built, easy to use. Instruction book is very easy to follow. Love the little extras like the pull out handle. The remote is the best part. No going out in the cold to turn off. Looking forward to years of use.

Favorably impressed

So far I am very impressed. The apparent quality, fit and finish, documentation/manual, supplied accessories and operation all very satisfactory. I was especially impressed with the exploded views of the parts, parts list and the schematic which showed not only wire colors but also gauges. As a Electrical Engineer this quality of schematic is not common. Still in the break in period so I expect satisfactory performance and reliability.

quiet- starts easy

I looked at the remote start. I wanted something quiet also a generator which was lite weight.'' about 98 lbs''. I ran generator for a short time. Started several times just to play. No problem. I got it for my RV to camp off the grid. I will have a better idea of how it works at the end of summer of 2022. I do like the manual that came with it. It covers a lot of info. I liked that. I like the control panel.

works well and quiet compared to regular generator

We bought this generator to power our rv when we don't have electric hook up available. We haven't used it for a prolonged period of time yet, but for what time we have used it we have been pleased with it's operation. I would have given it 5 stars if I hadn't had the start up problems I had the first time I tried to operate it. If you purchase this unit make sure you check the screw terminals on the battery, mine were lose, alsoyou may want to plug in the included battery charger and charge the battery overnight before you try to start it, Also if starting on gasoline fill the tank and let it set for awhile before attempt to start it.

great product, great price

I just received it today, checked everything over, very well packaged. I put the oil in that came with it, but I think I will be changing over to 5-30 full synthetic after about 10 hours. I had a 20# propane tank and decided to start it on that. It started very quick and purred like a kitten. I was shocked at how smooth it runs on propane. The main reason I got the dual fuel, was to use propane, its cleaner, and the engine will be cleaner. I had a gallon of gas, put that in, switched over to gas, hit the start button, started quickly. I was anxious to try the remote start, which really impressed me, especially on the range, that's a great perk to have. I've only put light loads on so far, and after getting some camping in, I will write a follow up. I'm sure it will be positive feed back.

Weak battery - won't remote or push button start

Bought about a month ago. Was really looking forward to electric start, particularly remote start. Very disappointed that after running 10-14 hours the battery won't hold a charge to remote or push button start in the morning. Voltmeter showed 5.9V! Manual start doesn't always work either. Pull, pull, pull, pull, pull and give up. Even after removing side cover to manually set choke. Trusty Honda 2000i to the rescue! However, when I can get it started I am impressed with the power, eco mode, running time, sound level, and display.

Complete Solution

The iGen4500DF is my complete power solution to dry camping adventures. It has enough power to run an A/C unit and still weighs in at around 100lbs. The dual fuel option gives me flexibility wherever we travel. It is relatively quiet (as generators go) and the remote start is very convenient when you need to power up in the morning (after quiet hours of course) to brew some coffee.

Premature rating, but positive so far

Got this a couple weeks ago and went through the break on period. While breaking it in I tested all the features to see if it was working properly. So far so good. Just what I was looking for. Now it’s ready for it’s true test; power outage. Quite at idle and low watt items. Does get a little loud when under heavy strain. Oil change is a bit cumbersome. Nice compact package. Nice features. Like the recoil backup start. Love the propane option. Handle vibrates when running, a little annoying. Plastic cover showed some minor damage. Overall it should meet my needs and it’s what it promised. Pretty minor complaints, but it did make me knock off a star.

Awesome so far

I researched generators for quite a while before deciding on this one. The features that mattered to me the most were dual fuel, remote/push-button start, and the noise level. We have another inverter generator that we bought when we had a pop-up trailer, but we needed something with more power after purchasing a travel trailer with an AC and a microwave. Everything works so far, it's much quieter when running on propane. I also like that all the plugs and things on the control face have little covers/caps to keep out dust and water. One thing I wish it had was some kind of locking point where you could run a chain lock through it to secure it to something. I'll use the two top handles, but it looks like it only takes a small socket to unscrew the bolts that hold those handles on.

iGen 5000 purchased for the features

I just received this product and appears undamaged out of the box. I like the dual fuel option and will likely use propane the most. Purchased to use for RV and camping. After adding oil and attaching propane, it started right up. So far running smoothly during the break in timeframe. May add updates after using for more intended demands. Sound level as expected, like a muffled lawn mower. Much quieter than a standard generator.
