Love this generator!

I've been looking for one of these for months but everyone is out of stock. Finally found it and bought immediately based on reviews, glad i did. Super quiet compared to my previous Champion I returned due to noise level. Plenty of power, great features, runs everything at once on our 23' Nash trailer, exactly what i wanted. The remote start is a bonus in the cold mornings. No issues with delivery or condition other than some kind of silicone grease on everything in the wrapper. Hoping for many years of service.

Simple to operate

I haven't powered much with it yet, but is ridiculously easy to start and operate. I would have given five stars, but the included manual appears to be for a different revision of the generator, because the picture of the control panel does not match the actual control panel. The latest manual available on-line appears to match the actual control panel, but some of the described decals are different from the ones on my generator.

iGen4500DF

Purchased for fifth wheel power. Set up straight forward. Read operation manual. Oil came with unit. Filled. Set fuel to gasoline. Propane set up next. Filled gasoline tank. Connected battery. Which had full charge. Turned on, hit starter button started first try. Shut down tried pull start again second pull started. Let it idle 10 min, put lite load from RV all ok. Will load 50% for couple hours then put full load. No doubt it will pull it . Nice and quiet, pull out handle works easy and unit pulls around easily. Has a parts list and diagram of the engine and gen. Parts available. # yr warranty. Will be putting a pvc pipe frame to support a tarp for weather protection. Will carry on a carrier outside on the rear bumper of the 5th wheel. Should last for years. Good little rig right price starts easy variable load will make it efficient the inverter will save the electronics we have, I would recommend the unit.

Less than One day

Directions/QuickStart was easy to follow and started up immediately. Remote start/stop, pull start and manual stop all worked as expected. Little funnel for oil was nice and sealed with no spillage. Appreciate that little detail. Not a long use review but out of the box I’m impressed.

Compact, powerful, quiet, and good-looking

I did my research and am very happy with my new iGen5000DFc. Started up swiftly and efficiently powered my fridge and portable a/c. Could power many other appliances at the same time, but the fridge and a/c are the most important. I recently moved to a hurricane state and feel VERY secure now that I have this particular power generator.

Excellent Features

I just finished the recommended 5 hour break in and love this generator so far. I sold my Honda EU2000i as it would not power my RV's AC unit. This generator is not much louder, has over twice the power, remote start, and dual fuel. Amazing that the are both the same price.

OVERFILLED OIL

While I haven't even had a chance to start my new generator, I did experience its operation at Elk camp this year. A friend owns one and it ran super quiet and flawlessly all week on a 20 gal. propane tank. However, my new one arrived today and I read the operator's manual front and back. I followed the directions on filling it with oil. Unfortunately, there was too much oil in the container that was provided, and as I removed the funnel, oil started pouring into the engine compartment and onto the garage floor. I would say that nearly a full cup of oil came out. What a mess to clean up. Now if some of you are thinking that my garage floor is not level, that's not the case. I also got some nasty cuts on both hands due to the sharp edges inside the various compartments - so I advise wearing thin gloves when possible.

Overall Good - Remote start needs improvement

After using two days; overall I am happy with the purchase, with one exception. I have found that leaving my RV plugged into the generator (RV ready plug) can cause the generator remote start battery to drain too low to use the remote start. This renders the remote start function basically useless. There should be a diode in the charging circuit to prevent this or a relay to disconnect the charging circuit from the generator battery when RV battery drops below a specific value. This seems like an engineering oversight, or perhaps a product defect in an otherwise solid product.

What I expected, ahead of schedule

I purchased this generator for my RV, to utilise the dual fuel capability. Don't want to mess with gasoline and filed carburetors. Propane hooked up easily, in unit started up on 2nd push of the electric start. Very quiet with a low tone, and very attractive.

so far so good

It took 3 tries to get one I could keep but I finally have one that looks and runs good. I have only tried it for test purposes so far. I will only run this on propane. It started right up. When loaded up with big draw items, it didn't hesitate to increase power. It is a bit louder that I anticipated but still much quieter than most on the market. This is for emergency use only so hopefully I don't have to use it too much.
