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
- Dual-fuel inverter

- 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.

Dual fuel

Dual fuel is nice but a bit hard to start on propane. Time will tell how well built it is

Nice unit

Portable generator inverter came well packaged. Followed the quick start placard and she fired up promptly. Nice unit. Not too large, not too small. Like the inverter function to provide cleaner, more stable power to protect electronic loads which is a lot of things now a days.

Propane regulator was dead on arrival. Hopefully they get this resolved quickly and I'll update the review. Battery was also DOA and appears to not be holding a charge.
I ran it on gas to test it, Didn't want to put any gas in it since I'm planning to run it on propane. Now I have to drain and clean it so nothing gums up.
It's very quiet, quieter and lighter than the pred 3500 I had. Very nice that it came with an oil funnel that threads in. It has an onboard charger for the battery. I'm not sure how well that works. After an hour it just clicks the solonoid but if my bat is dead then that's the problem.
Could have been a 5/5. Hopefully they solve issues faster than other reviews said....

Great Generator iGen4000DFc

I bought a generator because of my local power supplier turns off power when it’s super windy in my area. They’ve done it 3 times and I was tired of losing my food and not being able to work at home. So I got this generator and it’s been great. I’ve used it for a total of 3 days running basically non stop to power half my house. I use it to power my fridge, coffee maker, toaster oven, WiFi routers, tv, and my laptop and two monitors. Not all are on at the same time but when I was using my computer with monitors, WiFi routers, fridge, and a toaster oven I was at 50% capacity according to the digital display. The thing is awesome and it’s not too loud either. I used eco mode and it’s nice cause it idles at a lower rpm and only idles up when there is more draw. The digital read is really nice too but for the fuel it only displays in liters, so I had to memorize the conversion since I only really understand ounces and gallons. The generator is really nice and hopefully it lasts a long time. I’ll probably be using it often during the windy months and tbh using it for 3 days was worth every penny. I would say the only downside is the instructions. Like it doesn’t state exactly how to handle the onboard li ion battery for the generator. I think they need to clarify this some. But otherwise if you’re looking for something quieter and somewhat portable as I can still carry it with one hand but it’s still a little heavy, and are able to power quite a bit as mentioned above, this is the one you want.
