Good but sloppy build

Just received the rev2 with a build date of 3/2024. Before starting it up I ran through some basic inspections and the assembly. First the assembly. One wheel could not be installed because the bolt diameter was too big. It measured just over 5mm while the other measured about 4.8mm. The bearing that it went through measured 5mm exactly. I have to file down the bolt shaft to go through the wheel. Next, some basic checks. I pulled the spark plug to check the gap. It measured about 0.020" but the spec was 0.024-0.032" or something like that. I reset the gap and reinstalled. Then I removed all the other panels for inspection. The panel over the exhaust port had a stripped out screw put into the metal clip and was stuck in with loctite. I had to remove the loctite and retap it. All of the plastic parts that held the metal retraining clips show white stress marks. The sound-dampening foam was poorly placed and covered the vent holes so I had to reposition it. The gasket on the air filter was in pieces instead of a continuous piece. The corners were pulled too tight and the gasket had to overlap itself. It was misaligned and pulled partially off when I removed the cover. The plugs on the connector panel were all misaligned, and none lined up straight. I haven't started it up yet but will do so tomorrow. Hopefully all goes well. the generator seems solid with just some sloppy assembly.

Needed it as soon as we brought it home

Brought the iGen4500DF home 9 pm in the pouring rain. We unloaded it and planned to open it up and try it out the next morning. As soon as we got in the house the power went out and my son and I went back out and got the generator running using flashlights to read the manual. We did overfill the oil, maybe because we were in a hurry, so that took time to drain out before we could start it up. We got the generator running and it worked fine. I still need to get it set up in the correct location and read the manual thoroughly, but I'm happy it was there when we needed it.

nice unit for real life use, home & RV

waited many months for this restock! features were worth our wait. use for RV (30A). also for home outages. Big enough powerwise to handle what's needed. Small enough to store/manage moving around. Well thought out, don't have to buy two generators now. Remember to plug in battery when arrives prior to starting, oops...started immediately after I did that.

iGen4500DF

I just got this generator, after looking and researching for months. I wanted something big enough to run AC, Vent Fan, Microwave, lights, and TV in my fifth wheel. I went with the dual fuel in case I run out of gas, I will have propane to run it till I get to a gas station. I love the remote start, a must on my check list. I have broke the generator in already and have tested the AC, vent fan, and microwave, internet router, lights, and TV and it only hit 75% load. I am very happy with the unit.

Great features, flexibility of use, and low noise.

My wife and I wanted a generator to get us through the storms and Biden blackouts. This seems to fit the bill. For the price, this inverter model has less power than other styles at the same price, but it is compact and quiet. Switching from gas to propane Is a breeze.

awesome generator

Bought this iGen5000DFc less than 2 weeks ago and I love it. bought it for my 22' travel trailer and just broke it in and tested t on my rv. has sufficient power to run what ever I need with the A/C going which is important for boondocking during the summer months. Control panel seems well thought out and the unit is quiet, my wife even noticed its quietness when she came out of the house. Also bought the iGen tent for it, did not have a manual with it and looked a little challenging to assemble. Printed out the manual from there website and was not to difficult once I got the hang of it.

Very quiet

I finally was able to get this generator on 6/17/21. It has been on backorder for a while. So far so good I ran 10 minutes on gasoline and another 10 minutes on propane. I am going to use Rec fuel plus add Marine stable. Doing everything I can do to ensure no water in the gas. And stabilization of the gas so it will last longer. Note the owner's manual says to dump in the whole container of oil which is .63 quarts. Do not do it because it will overfill. My estimates are that it's probably at about.55 quarts. After the break-in oil because I live in Southwest Florida I am going to follow the recommendation of stepping up to an oil way to 15 w40 because we are pretty much always over 80 degrees in Florida. Also I am a believer in the manual States you can use synthetic. The push button start works great and the auto start on the fob works great. It came packaged well with no damage. This will be used strictly for our Villa for power outages and for the risk of hurricanes. For maintenance I plan to run once a month for at least 20 minutes under load

GREAT GENERATOR NEEDS MINOR IMPROVMENTS

The LPG option is perfect for my application. The generator functions well. No complaints. However the oil & battery access areas are way to small. I had a difficult time gaining access with my hand to check and change the oil and plug in /install the battery. The key fob remote starter is a great idea. BUT the main off/on switch must be operated by hand at the generator or the battery will eventually run down.

Like size and portability

I have a larger generator that is great, but is difficult to transport. I wanted a smaller generator and something quieter (this is why I went with an inverter). This meets both criteria. I also like the ability to use either gas or propane. Good so far.

Great features!

Easy start-up, works great, remote start works great, great features like digital display power and fuel usage, love compact size and operationally quiet. I just purchased so haven't put it to a great test as of yet. But so far, it looks and operates great out of the box.
