Quite and Ease of use

I recently purchased this generator. It is very quite and has only been used with propane. Light for size and seems to have great features. Like the remote, to start from the RV.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Solid Unit
on December 3, 2021

I purchased this generator for camping and power outages at home. The generator I previously owned was small, 2000/1600w. It was convenient but not enough output to satisfy my needs for the RV or home. Having two small generators linked together was an option but I wanted the 30amp outlet. It's very convenient to be able to plug the RV's 30amp cable directly to the iGen. I am very satisfied with the quality of construction, power output and extra features of the iGen. I was able to power a 16' trailer directly to the 30amp outlet while charging the batteries of my RV through the 110 outlet. Also, I had tent campers nearby charging their phone and laptop from the USB outputs.
The iGen is packaged well and was easy to unbox (follow the instructions) and set up. It started quickly and effortlessly with the electronic start. (The pull cable is there if there is ever a problem with the battery). I ran the unit for about an hour to break-in. I plugged in several small loads including a 1500w hair dryer over the hour to vary the output and check out the gas saving efficiency mode switch. Everything went well. It is quieter than my RV's onboard Generator. The iGen is very easy to move. The sturdy extension handle works very well when needing to re-locate the iGen. I have not used the DF (propane) feature so can't comment but I wanted that option.
Cons: The iGen was missing two bolts of four used to connect the extension handle. A bit of a concern but were available from the local hardware store. Also, the iGen is heavy so although it's easy to roll around storing it for travel takes two
people to be safe.

brought so I can keep working from home during a power outage.
easy to move with the wheels and handle.
Dual fuel is great. I use propane all the time. no worry about stale gas.

I run sensitive equipment and must have an inverter generator. this is one of the more capable units out there. plus i can run it on propane.It has plenty of outlets and can run in parallel with another unit. I use it for my rv and to run essential circuits in the house when we loose power. Very happy with the generator

Nice Device

I bought this generator because of its dual fuel capability and low noise level. In my testing upon unboxing it was everything I had hoped. Looking forward to having this generator support any future power needs, up to its full capacity.
