Great features and quiet!

Unpacking and setup was easy. I have only had it for one day. Have tested startup on gasoline and propane under minimal load with no issues. Used the electric start which was very nice. Also tested the pull start which was easy but it was after the generator was already warm. Will have to test when engine is cold or better yet make sure the battery stays charged. Very nice, feature rich generator. My only frustration was adding the initial oil. Instruction said add engine oil before starting. Specs said oil capacity is 0.6 liters. The supplied bottle of 10w30 oil was labeled 0.6 liters. Poured entire bottle of oil into engine using the supplied screw-in funnel. Removed supplied funnel and engine was overfilled spilling oil into the generator shroud and leaking oil onto the garage floor. Very frustrating. The supplied screw-in opaque funnel inhibits you from seeing the oil level while pouring the oil into the engine.

Love this Generator

My generator arrived yesterday. It was well packaged. and shipped without any damage. After adding the oil and fuel I tested out all the features and it performed fantastically! I got this one because of the electric start and remote start features. My wife can now start it up without me having to be there. I also like the fact that it has the built in wheels and handle that extends out to move it about in the garage. It is a bit heavy but weel worth it because of all the features. It has the propane fuel feature as well. I will try that out later but it's good to know I can use an alternate fuel source!! I hope to be using this unit in power outage situations as well. I think it's a great addition to my power needs.

Very nice appearance and features

It’s a heavy unit, and a “handful” for a single person to lift into the back of a pickup or into a storage compartment of a RV. I wish the engineers would come up with an exhaust extension so that CO fumes would be ducted away from the RV. Overall, I believe it’s the best answer for running two A/C’s with a residential refrigerator. I installed SoftstartRV’s on both of my 15k BTU A/C’s. And that made it feasible for me to use the iGen4500DF Inverter/Generator.

iGen5000DF

I bought this generator for its duel fuel capabilities. It came with all you new to run off propane except the propane it’s self. I would not expecting a propane to come with it. So far I have only ran it off propane and I might never run it off gas. With that said it is nice to have another fuel option in an emergency. This product has performed up to my expectations so far. It is new and I can not speak for the reliability of this product yet, maybe I will update this review in a couple of months.

SIMPLE AND VERSATIL

If you're looking for a powerful and versatile generator that can sustain mid-sized equipment in critical situations this generator could be a great choice. I live in an area that has energy issues, with the 5000W peak capacity, this generator has enough power to power essential equipment. From refrigerators to basic systems (air conditioners). Plus, it can run continuously for several hours with a moderate load, ideal for home or small office use. One of the notable aspects is its fuel efficiency because can operate for up to 20 hours on a full tank (depending on the load), which allows you to not have to constantly recharge. I did not run it with propane yet but I know I have the flexibility to use it. Is easy to be used and is portable as a big cooler because of the wheels and an ergonomic handle for easy transportation. Additionally, most feature an intuitive control panel, with indicators for fuel, and voltage levels, making monitoring simple.

Quiet running and easy set up

Bought this in a rush for an unexpected trip where power may not be available. Dual fuel option and electric start were a big selling point. Instructions for initial set up and break in are easy enough for anyone. Remote start is nice, but since you plu in after unit is running, kinda pointless. Heading cross country after break in. Any issues will get another review.

GREAT GENERATOR!

Fast set up and starts quickly with just a touch of a button. Ours is set up for propane and plugs into a through the wall set up with multiple plugs on the inside of the house to prevent any exhaust gasses from coming inside. Now we are all set for power outages with this backup system!

Great for the first 15 hours

I bought this generator for the propane and remote start features. The 4500 watts of power was perfect for my needs. I was also drawn to this generator for the quiet 52 dBa rating. However, after about 15 hours of use, with only a small A/C unit running, the generator started giving me the overload light and the A/C would no longer kick on. The generator began running rough, as if it is misfiring. Oil level is fine, air filter is clean, choke is shutting off after start, and I even changed out the spark plug. Nothing seemed to fix the problem. I'm now questioning my purchase. I really wanted to like this generator, but I worry about the quality. I will be calling for warranty support after I finish with this review.

Running great so far...

I haven't owned this generator very long, but it seems to be holding up. It has stuttered under load a bit but it is new and was running in the cold, so the oil may be a little more viscous and affect performance? I'll try to update this review after more use if necessary.

Easy to setup and operate

First time owning a generator. This unit is well labeled, instructions make sense, and was very easy to setup and operate. It is quite heavy but the extension handle makes moving the unit around easy enough. I will be teaching the wife how to get it all set up and have no concerns about her being able to operate it.
