Unpacking and setup was easy. I have only had it for one day. Have tested startup on gasoline and propane under minimal load with no issues. Used the electric start which was very nice. Also tested the pull start which was easy but it was after the generator was already warm. Will have to test when engine is cold or better yet make sure the battery stays charged. Very nice, feature rich generator. My only frustration was adding the initial oil. Instruction said add engine oil before starting. Specs said oil capacity is 0.6 liters. The supplied bottle of 10w30 oil was labeled 0.6 liters. Poured entire bottle of oil into engine using the supplied screw-in funnel. Removed supplied funnel and engine was overfilled spilling oil into the generator shroud and leaking oil onto the garage floor. Very frustrating. The supplied screw-in opaque funnel inhibits you from seeing the oil level while pouring the oil into the engine.

GREAT INVERTER/GENERATOR

Bought for our RV. Husband got it hooked up to RV & started it with fab. So easy to start compared to the old one we had, that was pull start. It was very quiet. Then he turned on the Air Conditioner in RV while I stayed outside and could not tell it got any louder. Love this inverter. Easy to move with handle and wheels. Definitely would recommend this inverter.

Meets all my needs!

I bought the iGen 4500DF for the dual gasoline/propane feature so I would always have backup fuel. I also like the running and peak watts to run my air conditioner, residential refrigerator, micowave, and television simultaneously. It is quiet and the remote start is a bonus.

Dual Fuel is a perk

We had been using a smaller Honda gasoline generator and decided we wanted an inverter generator with propane. We dry camp a bit and carry gasoline for our ATV, but we plan to travel with only the camper and being able to just bring propane (which will be used for the camper also) is a big bonus. So far, we just picked it up and ran it a little to make sure everything worked OK. Our residence is at 5200 ft. elevation, we camp around 8,000 to 10,000 ft. It appears we'll need 2 or 3 jet orifices for altitude adjustment, so that will not be as convenient as other generators we've owned (Onan 5500 had just a slide adjustment for altitude). While securing the small starter battery, we thought the strap had broken. On looking closer, the metal clip is split and allowed part of the rubber strap to slide off. Easy fix and hopefully it stays in place.

Great Generator

I've only run it on propane so far, but it starts right up, runs relatively quiet, and adapts to loads quickly with little hesitation. Very happy with it after having researched generators for many hours. Light enough to take camping with the RV trailer, and can be paralleled to run a 240volt 30amp transfer switch at home. Only feature I wish it had were adjustments for altitude. I don't have the high altitude kit yet, but I imagine putting it in every time we camp at elevation, then taking it out at home, will get old quickly.
