Generator

I have a 26 foot premier camper which is fully loaded. I was told to get the 5000 digital inverter in order to power up My Camper and use the air conditioning etc. this generator runs on fuel or propane and is nice and quiet and easy to start. It has a handle and wheels for moving it around and looks cool at the campsite. I'm glad I bought this and Reco it to others .

iGen5000Dfc

I loved this unit so much that I went out and bought a second one, and it has worked flawlessly. I am very happy. This is the dual-fuel model, so I tried it on propane, and the transition from propane to gas worked great also. It is a highly recommended unit.

All the features I need

It powers all ten circuits of our house that are on the transfer switch (refrigerator, lights, plugs, insert, range, water heater). The RV outlet gives max output, so I needed a pigtail and cord. It’s light enough to move around easily. Starts right up by a light pull. The battery has to be fully charged to start by button. Dual fuel is a great feature because it gives you options in an emergency. Quiet.

Happy Consumer

I bought this product to have a reliable back up electrical source for my home. I followed the instructions to get it up and going. It started right up and now I know the the freezers are secure and the heat system will keep our house from freeze damage.

iGen5000DF

Easy initial setup and start. It ran all night with the RV A/C on without running out of fuel. However when the A/C kicks in the generator must drop voltage just a bit, my streaming device on my TV restarts. I’ll add a soft start to A/C and hopefully that will fix it.

Great for RV power

I haven't had this long enough for a long time review but in the short time I have used this IGEN 4500 dual fuel I am very pleased with the features it has. I plan on using this with propane exclusively, but like that I can also use it with gasoline. The remote start and shut off is a great feature. This is a quiet generator that kicks up and down smoothly for power demand. Output scale on the front panel is a great feature also. This also works my 3500 BTU A/C unit, fridge if you don't have a propane option, and your hair dryer and curling irons. ( important stuff when dry camping)

Good product- but with issues

It runs quiet and powered my camper quite well during the break-in period. I like the fact that it has the propane regulator, hose, oil and a tool kit with it, along with a very complete owners manual. The extendable pull handle works well. I wonder why they have a remote start feature with a fob when you have to disconnect all cords from the inverter before starting it. My biggest concern is the digital display is not functioning - at all. I have been in contact with the service number and the gentleman told me to remove the front cover and see if there are any loose wires on the panel. Since I am comfortable working on these types of things, I did. I found no loose wires or connections and the panel still does not work. I have sent a copy of my receipt and am waiting to find out how far I have to drive to get it to authorized shop. I hope it goes well. I detest buying a new product and having it fail right out of the starting gate, or having to investigate the problem myself. It should be sound when it leaves the factory.

Good inventer Genrator so far.

First generator I bought. It was delivered 2 days earlier than promised. After checking if there were any damage, none. Only one thing I recommend is don't hang the remote control key at the start pulling string, it make me thought the key was missing when I check all the accessories in the accessory box. Fill in the oil, hooking up the battery, connect the propane tank. Following the starting steps, the generator run at the first pushing start button. Checking all the displays at the LED data center, It did not show the remaining run time(F), fuel level(L) because I use propane. It showed Voltage moving between the range of 125V to 120 V when I plug in one medium refrigerator and one small freezer. But the LED data center did not show the power output, it showed 0 KW all the running time (with or without the plugging the appliances) I don't know why (that is why I rate 4 stars). After running 3 hours, I stopped the generator by using the remote control. 20 minutes later, I use the remote key started the unit again ,It worked right away (good). The noise was OK from 67Db to 69Db at 10 feet away and 52Db to 57Db when I was inside the house with the patio door open(about 20 feet away). So, so far so good except the power level display(did not show the output KW). I will try to rerun it 20 days later to see how it happen. I recommended it is worth a try by yourself. If you see it is good for your needs, keep it. If it does not satisfy, you have option to return it (30 days).

Great value - works well jsut soem minor nits

works great - both gas and propane, bought as an emergency generator but have been using with a compressor and battery charger for power tools as we build a large shed on the back half of my lot. I might even buy another (later) as a parallel power unit (or one for shed and one for house outage emergencies. The nits are all ergonomic and obviously would need some re-design to make it PERFECT. I’m old, have bad back and bad knees and very large hands – I’m a big guy but getting down on all fours just to add oil or even view the oil level is stupid – make fill tube longer by at least 6-8 inches, add a longer dip stick and for God's sake please need a proper oil drain cock. – no “dip unit over” that’s a broken hand/arm waiting to happen. Add a way to drain the gas tank completely without having to run to “dry” – there is still gas left in tank (so yes a tank redesign) . The battery cover needs to be about an inch all around larger (the big hand's thing). Finally, a separate “quick access” panel to access the spark plug, carburetor bowl drain screw, and the choke (just in case)

Runs Great, with Power, BUT BREAKS!!

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.
