Duel, fuel inverter generator
on August 27, 2023
Posted by: Rubono
from Fremont, CA
This dual fuel generation is awesome and worked like a charm every time, the only time it didn’t was operator error I forgot to switch it from gas to propane. The push/ start button is great but the key fob starter is the ticket! The only con is it’s weight, taking in and out of the back of my truck is a chore, so I try keeping it near empty to avoid lifting that weight from 3.5 gallons of gas in the tank, the wheels and extending handle make it easy to move around even on uneven ground.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Dual Fuel works after minor head scratching

At first I couldn't get it to start on gasoline. Apparently I didn't add enough. I put in a gallon and it fired right up. On propane, it started right away. Tested it so far with a coffee pot and a toaster - doing the 5 hour break in so not pushing it over 50% capacity. Working perfectly.

Best for Us with All the Reviews Reviewed

My boyfriend and I are going to be traveling for quite a while in our camper, and as off campgrounds as possible. This generator is going to save us in all conditions. It’s fairly lightweight for being able to store different fuels at the same time. Love the handle for easy movability. Easy off and on toggle is super cool, and will come in handy when we want to shut it off and on from inside our camper (instead of having to go outside to turn on and off). Happy to give this company a good review— their product is the real deal!

Must have for hot summer camping
on October 30, 2023
Posted by: Passport328ml
I wanted to put the 4500df through one season before leaving my review. I am very happy with my purchase.
More than enough power to run every single appliance in my travel trailer. I opted for the 4500 for this reason. I also opted for the dual fuel version so that I didn’t have to pack gasoline on my camping trips. I’m already bringing propane so why would I bother with the risk of spilling gasoline?!
The push button starter and remote start make operation so easy. The 30amp receptical and 15amp standard recepticals are exactly what I wanted as well.
I only have 1 or two complaints…
The provided oil bottle contains too much oil, despite the manual saying it is exactly the right amount to add. I over filled the oil then had to drain some up and clean up the resulting mess that I wasn’t prepared for.
I changed the oil at 25 hours and had similar difficulty. The drain plug is difficult to access, but doable, but the rubber plug and hole below the drain plug is not big enough to allow the old oil to drain out cleanly. It results in a mess simply by following the manual directions. I’ll have to come up with a better system next time. I wouldn’t say this was a user issue, but more of a design issue.
The 4500df is quiet! We had several other campers comment to us throughout the summer on how quiet it was and asked what kind it was.
The case is durable and sturdy. The telescoping suitcase style handle and wheels are awesome too.
It’s heavy, but not so heavy that a moderately strong person can’t lift it in and out of a truck on his own. 2 people can handle it easily.
I’m very happy with my purchase and would definitely recommend to others.

Great Buy would recommend

Worked great out of the box. I chose the model without the electric start as it is lighter, cheaper, and has no battery to keep charged/replace. Runs well on propane, however, I have not been able to start it on propane. Not really any issue as I'll be keeping it full with treated gas. . Read the manual and make sure you follow the break-in process.
