Everything I needed in a generator!
on February 17, 2019

from Adirondacks in NY
I bought this for an off-grid cabin in order to charge my solar system when it is down in the winter....the first thing I did after a very prompt delivery was to put in the supplied oil and test the unit...it fired right up on propane....(I have not tested it on gasoline yet)....the battery was fully charged and the remote works good....the second thing I did was to change out the oil for a lower viscosity because I will be running this mainly in the winter at 0 degree weather....the only complaint, or I should say improvement I would like to see, is when I shut off the unit with the remote at say 9pm and then wish to restart it at 7am, the battery is dead because the little indicator light for the "battery on" switch kills the battery.....maybe if it was a led or intermitant light it would last all night....oh well, I will just have to go out in the snow and push the button....otherwise, a very quiet unit even compared to my old honda pull start.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Michael, thank you for taking the time to leave a review!
We appreciate all the feedback we get. Regarding your battery, if your generator has been exposed to colder temperatures in the morning then it will accelerate the amount of power drained which then leads to a dead battery. If you wish to continue using your remote feature at night, you can resolve this issue by charging your battery for up to 6-8 hours (no longer) while the unit is off during the day then use the remote start as normal at night after your session.
However, we are so glad to hear the iGen4500DF has been everything you've been looking for in a generator! Enjoy it while you're out in the cabins!

None like it on the market

A dual fuel inverter generator with a remote! This is the ONLY unit I have found that delivers all of those features in one generator. I am THRILLED this finally came into the market. I preordered it in October and waited almost 3 months for its official debut. Worth the wait.
I am a mobile groomer who uses a generator every day and NEED all of these features. Its quiet, convenient and reliable.
