DOA
on July 25, 2021
Posted by: who wanta a nickname?
from Texas
Would not start or run properly out of the box. As others have mentioned, the choke was defective. The small connector controlling the stepper motor was disconnected from the circuit board inside the unit. Required removing front, rear, and left side plastic panels to access circuit board (bottom left front of case) and dislodged connector. 2 hours work.
Apparently a common issue. Manufacturer should secure connectors better.
Ran fine after the fix but louder than expected.

Great Home Backup, RV, Camping Dual Fuel Generator

The Texas Winter Storm of 2021 was an eye opener for my family. With an infant at home, not having a backup to grid power in these times was a risk I couldn't take any longer. This purchase has given me complete piece of mind knowing I have a backup emergency power source for my family. The dual fuel option is great since gas shelf life is so short. Inverter model is safe for all electronics, etc. All you need!

Very Good So Far

Purchased in case of hurricane power loss. Thankfully I have not had to use it yet. I did start it under both propane and gas as fuel. Worked just fine. It was a struggle to free the screw in order to drain the float bowl. Finally got it to turn after a couple application of mystery oil. Should be much easier in the future.

Great features!

I recently bought the iGen4500DF generator to be prepared for hurricane season in Florida and for camping. I chose this generator after tons of research because I wanted something powerful enough to run 2 refrigerators, fans, and several lights in my house during power outages. I also loved how quiet it is so it’s perfect for any camp site or RV resort. Since it’s an inverter generator it runs at lower rpm’s if you don’t have a lot plugged into it so that means it’ll run quieter under less that full load. Other generators I’ve had were so low I couldn’t take the noise and they weren’t allowed at RV parks. It’s just as quiet as the smaller 2200 generators but has twice the power of needed. I haven’t had it long enough for a long term review but so far I’m really happy with my decision. Very nice machine. I did not have the automatic choke wire issue like I’ve read in other reviews, mine worked perfect out of the box.

Easy setup.

I bought this for boondocking with my travel trailer. It was a good value, and exceeds my power requirements. Very easy and intuitive setup. I had it running in about an hour on propane. I've only run it on propane so far, and plan to use propane the majority of the time.

Best generator in this category

After a lot of research, this generator checked all the boxes and more. Extremely quiet compared to some other big name brands with a lot more power too! Ready to go right out of the box.

We bought this to use with our 5th wheel trailer when we go camping in remote areas. It is nice and quiet and delivers the power we need and then some. We haven't had the opportunity to use it on propane, but like it just the same.
