I purchased this generator in February 2022, but did not get to test until late July. The generator started immediately with the electric starter and continued to start during initial testing. Worked on gasoline and on propane. I am pleased with the electric start as well as gasoline and properation operation. The only negative comment is that the generator is louder than my 20 year old inverter generator. ON THE SECOND (2nd) MANUAL START, SOMETHING BROKE ON THE MANUAL STARTER AND THE ROPE WOULD NOT RETRACE. THE GENERATOR IS DOWN WITH 3 FEET OF ROPE HANGING.

I ordered this generator about 2 weeks ago to power our new Fifth Wheel on our new land. I received it via Fed Ex a week later. I got some time after work to test drive it at home a few days later. The first time set up directions were very clear and I was ready to take it outside and fire it up within about 15 minutes. I was able to easily attach the propane tank and start the generator. It ran well and I had a large fan for some sort of minor load on it. Powered the fan just fine. For the physical size and power output size of the generator it was not extremely loud. If you were parked tightly in with lots of other campers it may be a minor nuisance but I am pretty impressed with the overall noise level. I plan on using/building some kind of baffle. I have not been to my fifth wheel and land with this generator yet but I believe there will be enough distance from any neighbors for it not to be a nuisance at all. I have not and may not run this on gasoline. I am glad I ordered the generator with the option to use propane instead since we have a local deal on propane and gas prices are insanely high right now. *Will update review later after I get some more serious use out of this generator.*

We haven't had to use this for an extended amount of time but we have fired it up with both propane and gas and after a few times troubleshooting the instant start, it worked perfectly. Highly recommend for a smaller generator, that is easy to move and not super loud, for those power outages during hurrican season, easy to store.

Only 5 hrs of run time so far - just to get though the initial break-in period. I have run it on both propane and gasoline, with no more than 50% load. First oil change was expectedly sludgy, but no signs of large metal flakes or shavings. As others have commented the oil access panel is very small - I needed to temporarily disconnect and move a nearby wire to be able to get a wrench on the oil drain bolt. The automatic choke seems to be connected and is working fine right out of the box. The manual has some minor inaccuracies.

I like the generator well enough to order this one being the second one I own. The features are there, thesound level is good, the ease of use and portability. I do have a compaint, my first one won,t start, I have read all the reviews and tried all the quick fixes. I would have to say coustomer sevice, is almost nonexistant. The phone calls get cut off after being on hold for ever, when you finally get someone it is a operator, telling you to get on line, to submit you questions or orders. At this time my online contact has not been addressed. It is too bad that a good product has such bad followup. I hope to get some responce soon, living in a rual area is a problem, being you have to find and take it to one of there approved, repair shops, in order for it to have warranty parts replaced with no labor paid for, for my situation that requires 200 miles of travel to get it back home and lots of down time.

I really like how quiet this generator is and light enough to pick up to get in rear of truck and love the fact we can run it on propane and dont have to worry about spilling fuel. Only down side is out of box we noticed rear panel is cracked,hopefully warranty will replace it

I purchased this item 2 months ago now and have gotten to take it camping 3x now ,all my camping neighbors are very impressed how quite the igen4500df is ,we can stand literally right next to the generator and carry on a complete conversion its great as we like to here the quite and natural sounds of the great outdoors vs a motor running the whole time. This generator also poweres up my 2018 forset river travel trailer ac fridge and microwave all at the same time without loseing much power ,I purchased the unit with the propane option as this could come in handy on a long trip ,so far a very happy customer..

I am happy with my 4500 dual fuel digital inverter generator. Pleaze note: The battery does not come plugged in, and directions are not in the Quick Start Guide, but it was easy to look in the booklet table of contents. It is great that it comes with oil to start (don't put in the entire container of oil, it took about 3/4) , and it comes with the propane regulator as well as a cord to directly charge the battery if necessary, although it seems to have a trickle charge to charge the battery while running . Hopefully it well run well for years to come!

Bought this to run on propane so I can quit fighting with modern gasoline that is stored for long periods of time which causes carburetor troubles. It fired right up and runs well off of the included propane regulator. This will make a nice addition to our camp trailer.

... I had too much “fright” to go back to the “harbor” so I decided to just bite the bullet & go w/something nicer from a reputable name brand. The quick start/setup was extremely well written & easy to follow, generator fired up from “half of crank” & worked flawlessly for my first 4 day desert trip. The smart meter feature is amazing, I really appreciate the dual fuel feature since my home runs on propane, I can hook up & use this generator from my 500gal home tank. 5 stars, all the way, doesn’t get better for the $$
