I bought this as a replacement for a Honda EU2200i. I bought the Honda to run a camper and it wasn't quite large enough to run the AC and anything else. The 4500DF was easy to set up. There was too much oil in the provided oil container and so it overflowed a bit. Once inspected and filled with oil, I tested all of the functionality and everything seemed to work well. I ran it for about 5 hours under varying loads and it worked like a champ. The YouTube videos for the automatic choke issue were helpful to see where problems could exist. Fortunately, this 4500 seems to not have the issue. I had no problem with all lights on in the camper, the AC on, and the TV playing a movie from the DVD player. I didn't try the microwave at the same time yet.
It ran very quiet. I was able to switch between fuels easily. I'd encourage folks to read the manual so you know what to expect. Remote works great. It would be nice to have larger and more all-terrain type wheels. A better funnel for oil would be nice, but they are super cheap. Curious how the oil changes will go to avoid making a huge mess. The Honda had an oil spout right on the fill tube that helped with oil changes and kept it clean and easy. A longer hose for the propane tank would be nice.
From a quality control perspective, adding a tag in bright orange that says something like, "OIL NEEDED - DO NOT TRY TO START WITHOUT ADDING OIL" would be nice. Also a label for the propane valve that says, "This Side UP" would be nice. Understandably, these things are in the manual but it seems that reading is hard.
I would definitely recommend this generator and am very happy with the purchase!

It came with a broken oil fill cover, and it's a little louder than I expected, but all in all it's a great generator.

We live where hurricanes come often. In 2021, we were left without power for 11 days. We decided we need a generator. This one runs our travel trailer fully and is relatively quiet. We love that it runs on propane since there is typically a shortage of gas after a hurricane.

I just set the generator up and only ran it for 10 minutes but I'm extremely happy with the features and easy start up. I started it using my propane tank from my grill and it started within 2 seconds and ran smooth. I really like the voltage gauge.
