After researching portable inverter/generator models on a few independent consumer sites, and based on their ratings, we made the decision to purchase the iGen4500DF generator in November of 2024. We wanted something compact to use for temporary backup of essential appliances in the event of a power outage. We also intend to use it to power an RV at un-serviced campsites. The unit started and ran flawlessly from initial start-up, and through the break-in period, cycling from gasoline to propane, and back to gasoline several times over the recommended 5-hour initial break-in run. Electrical appliances were cycled during break-in varying generator output from 25% - 50%. At the end of the break-in cycle an additional appliance was added increasing power output to 90%. In all cases the generator governed the engine rpm smoothly throughout the electrical load variations. The unit is well designed with robust body panels, and the control panel is nicely laid out and easy to understand. The handles to lift the generator are well designed allowing the unit to be lifted while wearing thick gloves. The retractable handle for moving the unit on its wheels is also a nice feature (easier on the back). I was able to stop and start the unit with the remote from 60 ft with no issue. I didn't try any further than 100 ft, but I don't have any reason to believe that it wouldn't work further away that that. The unit is nice and quiet, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable compact inverter/generator with good power output.

first use 6 months after we bought it. very easy and quick to set up and get going. started right up and runs very quietly. we bought it to power our 31 foot camper, which it does very well. it even powered most of our house during the power outage after hurricane milton.

Great back up generator. I takes little space to start and its easy to handle with the telescope handle. It's really handy that it comes with the adaptor for the liquid propane tank, the correct oil, oil funner and tools. Im pleased with my purchase.

Review* I purchased this generator right before hurricane Helene came through NC and I am so glad I did. Ran flawlessly everyday for almost 3 weeks before the power was restored and gave me some normalcy in a terrible situation. The ability to run off regular gas and propane was a huge plus when gas was hard to get because of the power outages and floods. Great product!

Wife was worried if she could be able to operate the generator when I wasn't home. Looked into free standing generators that turned on themselves. Then a friend recommended this generator instead which was a huge savings and not as intimidating to my wife. So far we both love it!

I bought this product about 2 months ago, and when the largest winter storm in recent Midwest history started to head our way I was confident my family would be warm. With the dual fuel feature I had multiple options to run. Setup out of the box was quick and easy. The electric start is a super convince and the battery charger is great ensuring I have no problems.

Just received this invertor. Easy to unpack. Already assembled. Just plugged in the battery and filled up the oil reservoir. Decided to try propane first as i am not expecting to use much in the short term. Was easy to attach the propane tank. Turned the power button on and hit the start button - turned over a couple times and fired right up. Seems to be exactly what I was looking for in an emergency backup generator to power essentials

I havent put it underload just yet, but the assembly was easy and it started easily. In reading the manual I did opt not to use the supplied oil, as our low temps can easily be below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. I opted for this model because it is an enclosed inverter generator, while it is true we have whole house surge protection, the idea of having <3% THD is attractive to protect the many electronic boards in some of the strangest places in the house :)

I bought this a few months ago. I only have got it installed and running recently due to the propane and transfer box install. It's a quiet running generator and runs very smoothly. The instructions were written clearly, and the installed kit was a nice bonus.

Bought this unit after my 2 Firman generators died. Saw it was highly rated so picked it up on sale. Solid build quality. Love the fact that it's a 3.4 gallon tank too. Can keep the A/c or heater running all night long in our trailer. Looking to take it out soon to test it out
