I love it, but...

The unit is very hard to start on propane! I need to coax some propane out of the pancake regulator by inserting a zip tie into the 'vent' hole to 'prime' the engine. Otherwise I waste my time pulling and puling without the unit starting.
Should have used a Garretson style regulator with the 'primer' built in.
Once it is running, it is great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought my Inverter Generator on January 8, 2025. Just did the break in period and completed the oil change with Mobile 1 Synthetic. It ran perfect during the break in and was very quiet just 10ft away. Looking forward to many great camping experiences with our new generator. I’ll leave another review once we get back from our next trip. Thanks so Much,

I bought this generator after a recent power outage. It was able to power many appliances including both refrigerators. It was exceptionally quiet compared to my neighbor's traditional generator. Very happy with the purchase.

Small, quiet generator during power loss

Perfect size to maintain critical functions like furnace fan and refrigerator during power loss. Great price. Easy to use. Quietest inverter generator I could find if your power needs are not too large.

Tons of features, easy and light.

After the last power outage, I was looking for a good, lightweight, and quiet inverter generator.
I had some experience with the single-fuel Yamaha SC2300i, but I wanted something similar that was dual-fuel. Additionally, the 2kW capacity of the Yamaha was a bit too low for my house, so I decided that 3.5kW would be a better fit.

Unfortunately, most generators on the market seem to force you to choose only two out of three features: lightweight, quiet, or dual-fuel. Just as I was about to give up on my search, I came across the iGen4000DFcv on a website and decided to give it a try.
The generator arrived within a week, and I had a chance to test it on both fuels shortly after. It starts easily, operates quietly, and is simple to move around thanks to its pull handle and two wheels. The iGen4000DFcv has almost everything I missed with the Yamaha: convenient LED lights, protected buttons, and socket covers.
When a new load is added, the generator adjusts smoothly without any noticeable light flickering, maintaining a stable power supply. For its price, I’d say this is probably one of the best inverter generators available.
Pros:
- Dual-fuel inverter
- Adequate number of sockets
- Lightweight, quiet, and easy to move

Cons:
- The propane hose doesn’t seem very durable, though the generator supports gas, which could help in case the hose breaks.
- The oil funnel has an awkward pop design, which can lead to leftover oil dripping out.
