This is my first portable generator and had to meet my criteria of dual fuel, lightweight and inverter style. This iGEN4000DFcv meets all the criteria, and others I had not included. The purchase process was completely seamless, and all variables accounted for, including timely delivery. The generator instructions are easy to read and user friendly. The generator started easily for first time start up and is very quiet. All functions on the unit are easy to operate and again user friendly. I can put this generator anywhere I need it to be to run, and will get exactly what I am looking for. I can see a time in the near future where I will be getting a second generator, and this one came with the parallel cables. Nothing else to buy!

Recently bought this generator. So far, I am pleased with it. I connected it right away to propane bottle & it started right up. I was very impressed with how well it performed. It's easy to maneuver with the pull handle & lightweight for a generator of this size. Just what I was looking for.

It came today, and it was easy to take out of the box. I love the wheels, and it seems it is very easy to make it work. I look forward to this hurricane season with a dual fuel generator that can run a small a/c unit, plus other items. Hope I do not need, but it is wonderful that I have it, just in case.

I bought one of the regular gasoline Igen4500 last year and it was absolutely awesome. I just sold it to a friend to buy this Dual fuel model. When I first prepped it and started it, it had a little bit of noise. I thought it may be rod knock. I heat cycled it several times. then ran it at 1/4 load a couple of times and then changed the oil. The oil was silver with metal flakes in it. I ran the new oil for about 30 minutes and changed it again, more metal flakes in it. This was not the normal break in for the first unit I bought. We will see I guess.

We just received the unit and were pleased with how easy it was to hook up. We intend to use this as an emergency generator for our home. With recent power shutdowns by our utility company in California and the 30th anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake, we felt it was time to get prepared. We will primarily use propane for the fuel source and were impressed with how easy it was to set up and run. It also was fairly quiet, even after hooking up some load to it. We haven't had the need to use it yet, but feel much better just knowing we have a way to provide power when we need it for critical items.

We absolutely love our. A little louder then my father in laws honda but mine runs everything I need and more, my wife and I love the remote start. I don't have to put pants on in the middle of the night if I need to crank it up for anything. I love that I run off propane. A little more expensive then gas but it's less wear and tear and it's easy enough to keep a few tanks topped off and not worry about dumping gas trying to fill it up. Plus my wife can transfer propane tanks in her car without it smelling like a gas can for a week.

I bought the iGen4500DF last year, when PG&E started the power shut off stuff! It's the right size to run most of the essentials in my house. (no large appliances) Meaning, the frig, the freezer, Phone, TV, internet, the microwave, coffee pot, electric tea pot, and the wife's hair dryer. I found it to be just small enough to lift into the door of the trailer but you should probably use a ramp, its not that light. My bathroom scale says 114lbs. Its powerful enough to run the roof A/C with propane. With the RV extension core I bought separately, I can wake up in the morning, press the remote from inside the trailer, 50 ft away and have a Real cup of coffee! The generator has a service cover for the air filter and the oil. On the oil side, there is an actual drain plug over a rubber plugged hole in the bottom of the cover, to be able to change the oil without making a mess! Nicely thought out. The wheels and the stowaway handle make it easier to move and use without having something to trip over. I like that it shows the hours of run time, so I know to change the oil or clean the air filter. It has two USB charging ports that work well and 12v port that I haven't needed yet to charge a device or use with the supplied plug in 110v charger, to keep the generator's starting battery charged. I have only owned it for a year and used it on two camping trips and four power shut offs, but it's fairly quiet and starts every time.

I searched for several weeks to find the best inverter generator for our new camping adventures. I watched several YouTube video reviews and read several articles. This is the one I decided to purchase for our family. We just love the quiet operation. It's also easy for me to load and unload by myself. I could go on and on about all of the features that we love. I suggest that you don't wait any longer and purchase one today! See y'all at the campgrounds.

Just bought a. Opulent of weeks ago. So far everything is as advertised. put the oil and gas in, hooked up the battery and it fired right up with the remote fob, the push button start and the recoil cable. A little louder than I anticipated (not as quiet as a conversation as claimed) but perfectly acceptable, especially considering it's size. Looking forward to using it on a two week trip soon.

I bought this last week to use with my camper. I liked the dual fuel feature since my camper uses propane as well, an extra tank serves a dual purpose. The size was perfect to fit in my truck bed with the bed cover on. I also recently used it to power some equipment while I was at my boat working! I connect a propane tank and pushed the start button and it started right up. The quiet operation makes the wife happy! That's another plus. It goes right along with my larger 9500DF that powers my whole house.
