Must have for hot summer camping
on October 30, 2023
Posted by: Passport328ml
I wanted to put the 4500df through one season before leaving my review. I am very happy with my purchase.
More than enough power to run every single appliance in my travel trailer. I opted for the 4500 for this reason. I also opted for the dual fuel version so that I didn’t have to pack gasoline on my camping trips. I’m already bringing propane so why would I bother with the risk of spilling gasoline?!
The push button starter and remote start make operation so easy. The 30amp receptical and 15amp standard recepticals are exactly what I wanted as well.
I only have 1 or two complaints…
The provided oil bottle contains too much oil, despite the manual saying it is exactly the right amount to add. I over filled the oil then had to drain some up and clean up the resulting mess that I wasn’t prepared for.
I changed the oil at 25 hours and had similar difficulty. The drain plug is difficult to access, but doable, but the rubber plug and hole below the drain plug is not big enough to allow the old oil to drain out cleanly. It results in a mess simply by following the manual directions. I’ll have to come up with a better system next time. I wouldn’t say this was a user issue, but more of a design issue.
The 4500df is quiet! We had several other campers comment to us throughout the summer on how quiet it was and asked what kind it was.
The case is durable and sturdy. The telescoping suitcase style handle and wheels are awesome too.
It’s heavy, but not so heavy that a moderately strong person can’t lift it in and out of a truck on his own. 2 people can handle it easily.
I’m very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend to others.

WORKS GREAT
on October 29, 2023
Posted by: Camper_Chris
from Seville, Ohio
My unit works great! I was a little apprehensive at first when I was considering buying the igen4500df because of some of the reviews about the loose wire/choke issue. I unboxed my unit, put oil in it, and fired it up. I broke it in according to the manual, then connected it to my camper afterwards. I ran various appliances and it never missed a beat. I am completely satisfied with my unit so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Inverter /Generator

Ran the generator for 15-20 minutes when I got it. Ran great, shut it down and went to try it 4 days later it does nothing. Switch on nothing lights up and also will not start manually.
