After researching portable inverter/generator models on a few independent consumer sites, and based on their ratings, we made the decision to purchase the iGen4500DF generator in November of 2024. We wanted something compact to use for temporary backup of essential appliances in the event of a power outage. We also intend to use it to power an RV at un-serviced campsites.
The unit started and ran flawlessly from initial start-up, and through the break-in period, cycling from gasoline to propane, and back to gasoline several times over the recommended 5-hour initial break-in run. Electrical appliances were cycled during break-in varying generator output from 25% - 50%. At the end of the break-in cycle an additional appliance was added increasing power output to 90%. In all cases the generator governed the engine rpm smoothly throughout the electrical load variations.
The unit is well designed with robust body panels, and the control panel is nicely laid out and easy to understand. The handles to lift the generator are well designed allowing the unit to be lifted while wearing thick gloves. The retractable handle for moving the unit on its wheels is also a nice feature (easier on the back). I was able to stop and start the unit with the remote from 60 ft with no issue. I didn't try any further than 100 ft, but I don't have any reason to believe that it wouldn't work further away that that.
The unit is nice and quiet, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable compact inverter/generator with good power output.

Very pleased

Just received this invertor. Easy to unpack. Already assembled. Just plugged in the battery and filled up the oil reservoir. Decided to try propane first as i am not expecting to use much in the short term. Was easy to attach the propane tank. Turned the power button on and hit the start button - turned over a couple times and fired right up. Seems to be exactly what I was looking for in an emergency backup generator to power essentials

Quiet operation

Bought couple weeks ago. Just started last night ran last night for five hours for the break in period. Ran with out a hitch. Used a small griddle plate to vary the load while testing. The screw in funnel to add oil was a nice addition. Do read the manual first the quick start guide doesn’t talk about the break in period or we have some cool weather here and was thinking about starting out with the synthetic oil which is not recommended during the break in period.
