After following the setup instructions, it fired up on the first try. It handled various loads including shop vac (high startup current), heat gun, portable air conditioner. As they all do, it gets noisier with increasing load but still managed a very respectable 73dB 20ft away with a 3 KW load. Volt and Watt meters were accurate. Voltage stability under load was very good. Everything worked as it should. The included oil filler funnel is very nice.

So far so good.... we've only had it for 1 day... it's not really easy to change the oil unless you have small hands. But it runs good. We were hoping that we could turn the generator on in the middle of the night with the remote but that is not the case. We still have to plug the trailer cord in to start it up. We will see how it goes. And update will come if things change.

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.

I just purchased the igen4500df and it is perfect for my needs in different applications. It will be used to power RV when needed, but as well at jobsite powering power tools. It is heavy but with built in wheels and handle it will transport easily for social events. It's design is high tech. I look forward to years of use.

I bought this to replace a much larger and heavier non inverter generator for my home. I will be using this with a transfer switch and exterior inlet to power my essentials during an outage. No more extension cords for me! I especially like the dual fuel and runtime of this unit. It seems very well made and is compact.

Delivery was quick. Concerns are minor. Battery knocked out of position, quick fix. Instruction booklet not completely accurate regarding the main access panel screws: 4 typical screws and #5 was a bolt head: 10mm socket required. The funnel that screws into the oil reservoir was very welcome. With limited access, this prevented taking the entire outer panel off. Security of the unit to another hardened fixed location could be helpful, consideration for a loop plate for a cable or chain would be nice. Yet to test under a variety of conditions.

I borrowed a iGen4500 DF from my neighbor when we lost power. It powered all the critical essentials (TV/Internet, WiFi Routers and refrigerators, etc.) of 2 homes very easily - and efficiently using propane. I'm now a proud owner, and glad to have the assurance of coverage the next time we lose power!

Recently purchased a Wildwood FSX 163RDSK and the iGen4500 is plenty of power with most appliances, pumps, and load on… even when the AC surge occurs. Sound Db is a bit higher than expected with eco off — needed for AC surge. During cooler weather, eco mode is much more quiet. It's probably overkill for trips without AC, but nice to have the option for unexpected southern weather changes! Unit arrived with battery drained and initial start with pull cord was a no-go. So if it has trouble starting from arrival, plug in the unit to charge the battery for a few hours. Even then it took 2 starter cycles for it to kick in. From the on, it has started right away… pull cord, button and remote. Recommend.

Bought for RV Boondocking and back-up home power. Great value to have the dual fuel, remote start, electric start, 30-Amp plug, telescoping suitcase handle, and more. Nice quality construction on the design/molding of outer shell. Relatively quiet and started right up.

Wow! I love this generator. It is dependable, quiet and powerful; far & above anything I've owned in a smaller generator prior. The remote start, sound level, system monitoring and portability is exactly what I was hoping for in a generator we could use both at home for back-up power as well as away with our camper. I am a long-time motor head from Detroit in my 60's and really scrutinized this thing upon arrival to see how they approached it and was thoroughly impressed with the build and finish. The dual-fuel capability was important and this unit does not disappoint with change-over from (gas) to (propane) and back again seamlessly. You hit it out of the park Westinghouse!
