Good generator

Seems to be a good generator so far. Plenty of power and lots of features. Starts very easy and remote start is very convenient as well. Also one of the quietest generators I've been around. Dual fuel capability makes it excellent for running our rv. Keep in mind it is a big generator so plan accordingly.

Great features, great price

I bought the igen 4500DF inverter/generator at the Home Depot after reading improved reviews in the last 5 months I also chose them because of there no questions returns police. I decided to have it delivered to the store as an added precaution in case there was shipping damage and also freight delivered to the house is a 6 hour waiting windows. There was a small dent in one corner of the box but no damage inside. The Home Depot was excellent in allowing me to remove it from the box and inspect it, then helped me load it in my truck(about 100lbs). I prepared the generator by adding a small amount of Lucius oil stabilizer into the spark plug hole and oil filler before connecting the battery or installing the spark plug. Then I pulling the manual pull start about 10 times. Then filling it with oil, instilled the spark plug, and connected the battery quick connects. I plugged it into a full 20lb tank of propane because that is how I will be using it. I turned the power switch to on and pushed the start button once. It tried to start twice before failing and probably because of oil left in the spark plug chamber. The second time I pushed the start button it started on the second try. I let it run for 3 or 4 minuted and then turned it off with the remote start and waited a few minutes and when I turned it back on it started without hesitation. I ran it with a shop fan and power drill charger plugged in for an hour switching back and forth from Eco mode going from low idle to 1/4 power for 1 hour. I marked a 1 quart food storage container at 20 oz with a marker and liquid measuring cup.then drained the the oil noting the gray metal making it hard to see through and that I had extracted about the same amount. I replaced the oil and it started with the remote on the first turn. This time I left the switch in economy mode and ran with a fan and hair dryer and oscillating the dryer from high to low for 1/2 hour. the generator went from 1/4 load to 1/2 and back without an error. Than I ran it with a pancake air compressor and hair dryer going from 1/2 to 3/4 load for 1/2 hour without a problem. I then emptied the oil and noted just a slight tint of gray. I added Mobil 1 full synthetic and started it with the button on the first turn then turned it off with the remote. I will be testing more with the camper/ slides/ air conditioning and battery charge recovery before using it at a state park in 1 month from now but I am very pleased with it. I am very happy with it because It has a quiet idle, reasonably quiet at 1/2 load, the camper plug is a correctly mounted 30A, and every option does what it was intended to do.

I like the dashboard. Easy to read and use

Bought this about two weeks ago. Just got it. Took it out the box today and running it through the break in procedure with the break oil provided. It started right away. Ran it a little while on gas and decided to finish the break in on propane. Easy to hook up and switch fuel supply. Runs smoother on propane than gas. But that makes sense, I expected that. I am an old propane guy. Engines always run better on propane.

Great Features

I just received my IGEN4500DF today followed prestart instructions filled with oil connected battery and propane unit fired right up no issues. Connected to my travel trailer tested the AC my no problem starting up my 15,000 btu unit. My main reason for buying this unit was the key fob remote and propane options. However this unit has become very popular so if you want one get it while they are in stock and shop around for the best price.

Quiet and EASY to Start

We bought this a month ago and love how quiet and easy to start. We waited a LONG time for this generator to get back in stock. After reading and watching countless reviews, we only wanted this generator for our camping trailer and if necessary for our home. It is heavy, but my husband and I could could lift it into the back of our truck (and we are seniors). So far, we are thrilled with this product.

Nice and Quiet with plenty of Power

I have a total of 5 hours on this model and am very happy with it thus far. I really like being able to use LP as the fuel source and it is quieter than I had anticipated. We will use it for RV'ing and it handles the RV's AC with no problem with plenty of power to spare. Only draw back is the space given for oil changes is quite small.

Couldn't be happier

Glad to have dual fuel capability

After our neighborhood suffered a snow/icestorm last month & lost power for nearly 3 days, we had to move to a hotel to keep our elderly 89 year old grandfather & 4 year old kid warm. We are so glad this is now ready for our next outage. I especially like the propane feature, so we don't have to burn gasoline & hopefully require less maintenance.

Dual fuel is a must

I bought 2 iGen4500DF so I could parallel them for my Rv and they work great. I wasn't sure about running them on propane but I'm very happy with the performance of the generator when ran on propane. It is super quiet and there is almost no exhaust odor when ran on propane. Paralelled together both generators handle the load of my RV even while running both 15,000BTU Air Conditioners. I couldn't be more pleased with both the quality and price.
