Complete Package

I did a ton of research before narrowing down my generator list to two. This one stood out as more powerful, quieter and loaded with more features, for a BETTER price! I did have to do some digging to find them in stock but it was well worth the effort to find. I have completed the 5 hours run-in and I am looking forward to many years of service.

Brand New

This generator started right up on the first try and it is quite as advertised. I purchased this item to use during power outages. It has all the power I need to run the important items in the house. I haven't had to use it during a black out to date, but this will give me peace of mind when the power goes off.

Strong First Impressions

We unboxed and started it up for the first time with propane. It took a few tries to start the first time. I had read about this, so I rechecked my propane connections and tried a few more times, but it started up and was easy to stop and restart from there. We have not put it to heavy use yet, but it seems well built and meets my expectations with noise, fit, and finish. The sound output is like being at a little distance from a quiet lawnmower. In Eco mode, it was significantly quieter (with a low load, I haven’t pushed it hard yet). It does sound like a small engine running, but I’m very happy with that. I also found running an engine on propane to be a very pleasant experience compared to gas, with far fewer fumes. I researched this unit for a long time before buying, and I am seeing exactly what I expected so far.

Simply awesome!

Let me start by saying build quality of this unit is above reproach and the attention to detail is equally commendable. You can tell there was pride taken in the manufacture of this device. The unit came with all tools needed to set it up and they weren't just cheap one use tools either, they are nice chrome plated tools. There wasn't a nick or scratch anywhere on this unit inside or out. User manual is well written and it even came with a parts manual and a wiring diagram! Operating instructions are displayed on the top of the generator making it easy for anyone to operate. Another nice add is the carburetor has a drain hose built right to drain the carb after use which I have never seen on any units that I purchased in the past. All the controls, display and connections are laid out ergonomically and labeled plainly. The only thing I can think to add to this unit to make it even more awesome would be a ¾ inch wrench to snug to propane hose fitting and a bag to attach to the generator to store the tools and propane adapter. If you have any doubts just by it!!!

Great features!

I bought this two weeks ago and received it shortly thereafter! I broke it in by running it on partial power and changing the oil three times on one hour intervals! I found changing the oil to be very difficult! I hooked it into my circuit breaker box and powered the house with it! It seemed to work very well! Of all the generators out there I highly recommend this one! I like the electronic gauges and the fact that it runs on propane and gasoline! I found switching it very easy with barely a hiccup when it changes over from one fuel to the other! I love the remote starting feature! When hooking it to my circuit breaker box, it was very convenient to be able to turn it off and on from inside my house! Until I build a soundproof minny garage for it, I will bring it into the house after use! When I bring it into the house after use, I cannot smell any gasoline! If you click the cap on the tank it seals it real good!

Super quiet and easy to use

I bought this a month ago: it is very quiet, easy to use, intuitive and well made. The wheel design and handle also were well thought out. The remote start is great too. I highly recommend this for use with RV and trailers as it is quiet in parks.

Looking Forward to Using This Boondocking

I selected this model because it is exactly what I need to power my 36 foot, 4-slide 5th Wheel Trailer. Based upon the reviews, I expect it to be able to run my 13.5K air conditioner AND my convection microwave. Also, the electric water heater, refrigerator, and the washer and dryer. From the specs, I anticipate good fuel economy, and quiet running. My Alumascape is prepped for a Marquise 5.5kW Generator, but it is a noisy EXPENSIVE gas hog. Going to travel with the iGen4500DF in the compartment meant for the Marquise, with room for a lot more stuff. NO, I am NOT going to run it in there... This is all the power I need, without a large fuel bill, important as both gasoline and propane increase faster than the record inflation. The Dual fuel gives me more options out on the road, too!

1Gen4500DF

Just purchased this the first of July 2021. Put the oil in it, and connected the battery, and unit fired up first try. I did not have the problem with choke not working, as some of the other reviewers have had. I'll see how well it runs my 5th wheel.

The features I was looking for

I just received my 4500 dual fuel generator, that I purchased for my Fifth wheel RV. It has the features I was looking for, including dual fuel, 30 amp plug, and enough amperage to run air conditioners and more. I unboxed the unit, filled it with oil, hooked up the battery and started it on LP, using the remote control. It started right away and ran properly. I have not yet tested the output or used the unit, but I looking forward to giving it a try. I gave this 4 stars, only because I have not used it in working conditions.
