Worked as Expected

I just received the generator. I set it up, hooked up the LP gas tank, and started it up. And it ran fine. I switched it to Efficiency mode and plugged in a mobile phone charger, without any problems. I turned off Efficiency mode, plugged in a 150 lb air compressor, and it started and ran just fine. I do wish it was a bit quieter, particularly on Efficiency mode. Also, several of the controls in the manual do not match up to the actual control panel on the generator. So I had to hunt around a bit to find them, to make sure I was looking at the correct indicator lights.

GREAT INVERTER/GENERATOR

Bought for our RV. Husband got it hooked up to RV & started it with fab. So easy to start compared to the old one we had, that was pull start. It was very quiet. Then he turned on the Air Conditioner in RV while I stayed outside and could not tell it got any louder. Love this inverter. Easy to move with handle and wheels. Definitely would recommend this inverter.

Ready Set Go

My generator box arrived some what damaged on the outside, but did not appear to have any damage as to the contents which were all there as stated in the manual. I had previously spent time reading the enclosed manual which is a great suggestion so the assemble and inspect went quickly. I cut the box apart carefully to remove the generator, saved the side panel with the serial numbers for future reference, inspected the generator for any damage, and finding none I took an inventory of various included parts. Everything was in the boxes as represented in the owner’s manual. I took out the generator and hooked up the battery to the included charger to make sure it had a fresh charge. I completed these initial steps and feel ready to be a standby for any sudden power outages. In a few months, Florida’s hurricane seasons starts, and I will complete the full break in and running of the generator and update this review.

Great generator power and quite

We bought this generator as we had a power outage for 5 days. It was super easy to use and start up, we have not tried propane with it yet, but it worked fine on gas with long time. It pulled our sub pump fridge and other appliances well and was quite and efficient. Let's just say husband's new toy is a hit!

Quiet And Well Made

I purchased this generator because it has all the features I was looking for. After filling with oil and connecting the battery, it started quickly with the press of a button. I’m impressed by the quality construction and how quiet it is. If you’re considering buying one of these, you won’t regret it

Love the Remote, it’s the bomb!!

I’m totally off grid, seems to be working great, I’ve only been using it just shy a week, but I really think the remote start is great. It took me a bit to figure out the battery charger deal, they really don’t explain it to well. I’m on propane now have not tried the gas part yet, but I’m glad it’s there if I need it.

Great so far

Received generator today. Unpacked and inspected looks great. Installed supplied oil, ,assembled supplied propane hose to regulator and attached to propane tank , checked for leaks . I turned switch to run ,pulled 3x and fired right up . Plugged a small load and let in run about 20 minutes. Will continue break in over next of days . So far very happy with my new generator only time will tell.

Works great, well packed, very quiet

I bought this specifically for the propane operation and it works great. Started right up out of the box after adding oil and hooking up included regulator and hose. Runs smoothly. Never have to poison it with gasoline if you don't want to! Included custom funnel and battery charger are nice perks.

Will be a great generator

Just unpacked, filled with oil, and ran the generator to try it out. All looks well so far but I have not run it more than 5 minutes. The features and style look great. I did my homework prior to purchasing it and believe it will be perfect for my emergency home power backup and power for my travel trailer when I need to run the AC and microwave when off the grid. I wish it has is a designated security point to attach a chain to or through for theft deterrence. I plan to run my security chain through the handles which will stop simple theft but I do not believe the two top carry handles are hardened thus making them difficult to cut with a metal saw. Also, bolt holes in the bottom to enable simple bolting down of it to a generator rack or other base would be a great feature.

All around great generator iGen4500DFc

It arrived and with the quick start up instructions, the unit was running in 15 minutes. Tested under load and it barely flinched. Remote started the unit from 250 feet or more. The RV 30 amp port is a big factor in buying this unit and the dual fuel feature.
