Excellent generator

Started on the first try. Electric start is wonderful. Ran for over 5 hours for break-in. Never sputtered. Connected it to my camper during break-in. This generator is SO quiet. I listened to my radio when it was running while I washed my camper. I would definitely recommend this model.

Great overall generator

Great overall unit for home and camping power needs. I bought this unit about two weeks ago, startup was easy with easy to understand instructions. Unit performs as advertised and is surprisingly quite for its size and output. Perfect size to support all loads in my trailer including the air conditioning with capacity to spare. Love it so far!!!

Great generator at a decent price

The generator works fine at high elevation. The manual is questionable because of major mistakes. Such manual should be reviewed by a professional and corrected as necessary. We give only 4 stars because the battery was tumbling around in the compartment as a result of a defective battery holding strap.

Easy Setup

I just bought this generator two weeks ago and it was very easy to setup and get it started. The remote control worked the first time and the on and off button also worked. I figured I’d have a hard time pulling the generator around but it was very easy with the handle and wheels. I love the fact that I can use it on gasoline or propane.

Dual fuel silent type generator

Bought this to be prepared for the hurricane season. I chose the silent/quiet type and this did not disappoint. It’s not as loud as the open type generators and my electrician got amazed with the noise level when we fired it up. Of course it won’t power the AC but I just wanted something that will get us by and not that noisy so we could still sleep at night.

great features and watts

this duel fuel was exactly what I was looking for in watts for camper A/C and running other small appliances in camper. Light weight made it easy to load in truck and take with us. RV power cord will reach without having to remove. Very Happy I located this generator.

Just received

I just unpackaged and did my break in run and the remote doesn't work. I tried everything and read instructions. The oil drain is in a sick place and doesn't allow the oil to drain anywhere but under the motor and inside the entire bottom shroud. I will still recommend this generator though only based on the reviews I've read before purchasing as I have only had it for 2 days. So far I'm not happy with its design. but it seems to run good

IGen4500D:F Excellent engineering and features

I did a lot of research before deciding to purchase this generator. The advantages of it being an inverter type (significantly better fuel economy, less engine wear likely, clean power) made it worth the price premium above straight AC generators. Consumer Reports rated it's little brother iGen2500 generator excellent in power delivery and power quality as well as very good in noise and ease of use. I found it with excellent documentation and easy to set up. Packaging was also excellent. Propane fuel setup was straight forward. Generator started up very quickly to smooth, quiet operation. Switching to Eco Mode, engine came to an idle smoothly, very quiet - enough to get Wife's praise for getting an electric start unit! After warming it up, plugged in a 1200 /1500 watt space heater to check out Eco response with varied load. It passed with flying colors! On board digital readout was quite accurate to heater advertised wattage consumption. Have not run the generator on gasoline thus far and do not plan to unless dire emergency exhausts propane supply. I have no reason to suspect gasoline would pose any problems should I need to switch to it. We are very happy with the IGen4500DF and will not hesitate to recommend it to others.

Great Generator

Great product. Pretty quiet and a great size. Easy to turn on and to use the remote. We took it camping and it does a great job. Its not loud so it didn't bother others. I recommend it to those who are looking for a quiet generator that is easy to move around.

Nice Generator

Purchased the IGen4500 because of all the features - auto start, dual fuel, remote start. Have not used the propane to run it as of yet, but it runs great on gasoline. Starts very easy with the push button start. Only issue I am having is with the remote start. Does not work. Every once in a while it will shut off the with the remote, but will hardly start it.
