Pleasantly quiet and easy to use

After running my older full-frame generator which is very loud, I was pleasantly surprised (even after reading reviews that the generator was quiet) how quiet the generator was. Also I was impressed that the generator noise level adapts to the amount of load being placed on it, so it can be really quiet with smaller loads. I also liked how easy it was to start and shut down, and the handle and wheels makes it easy to move around. So far, I love this generator!

love the quick start

two of us bought this unit after seeing several of our neighbors using it. have had a couple issues getting propane started but gasoline works great.Love the quick start and am setting it up in a secure place. I needed 2200 watts and my little honda wasn't handling the load. now am feeling real good about the whole house using the power. wish it was a little quieter but can live with it.

Great so far!!

Received the iGen4500DF today, unpacked it and got it started. Setup was a cinch and the unit started as advertised. Started initially with the remote, then by the manual start button and then manually with the cord. All started flawlessly. Ran it for about 15 minutes, plugging in small units to see if they worked. All went fine. Giving a 4 Stars for now. Will provide a review again after the 1st oil change. Based on what I've experienced so far, I anticipate a 5 Star rating

Easy to use

Generator was super simple to set up and came well packaged. Starts up first try with no issues. Lots of great features making this very handy to have around the house along with small and simple to take on the go in the RV. No issues running the A/C unit in my RV as it has plenty of power.

More than a light weight Generator

The feature of dual fuel is highly desirable and the other panel controls are exceptional. At 4500 peak watts, this is a pretty hefty portable generator. Because it is a invertor type it will not harm any of my home appliance electronics if used during a power outage. And it has plenty of power for power tool use at a remote job-site.

Quiet and easy to start

I bought my generator a little over a year ago and I was able to pull it out of storage and hook up propane to it and it fired right up. I really like the dual fuel option so that you don’t have to worry about gasoline going bad if you’re not using it regularly. It’s really quiet and easy to use.

Powers my 21-foot Jayco with power to spare!

I have had other generators that were hard to start, noisy and limited. No more sweating pulling that starter rope, now I have an electric push button start. I love the USB ports so I can charge my cell phone without a brick. The Data center keeps me up to date about operating information.

Perfect for Us

We purchased this generator for when the electric goes out. It was an easy pull for the first start. Since then we have used the remote start with no problems. It switches easily between full types and runs quietly. We are highly satisfied and are pleased with our purchase.

NICE

I bought this for my cross country camping trip, primarily for my dogs as many parks don't allow them :( Fortunately, I didn't need it but once. It sure came in handy for making coffee at the NP's though. LOVE that it uses propane as would have difficulty reaching to fill fas.

Ran great on initial test

I purchased this generator for backup home power in the event of power failure. The iGen 4500DF was easy to set up except for a couple of missteps on my part. I over filled the oil reservoir. This was probably due to some residual oil in the engine from the factory test. I added most of the .63qt bottle. The reservoir is supposed hold .6 qt. it overflowed when I removed the funnel. The excess leaked out of the bottom of the case for a short time. On start up I added about a quart of gasoline to the tank. This apparently was not enough to get it running. It would almost turn over from time to time. It showed low fuel on the digital display. So I added some more fuel and that solved the problem. The start up with propane was perfect. It ran a little rough for a few minutes but then smoothed out. I ran it with several small loads plugged in for about a half and hour. It appeared to function properly. I experimented with switching back and forth from gas to propane and that went well. I am pleased with the generator so far.
