This generator has worked great! I especially like the remote start and pullout handle for easy maneuvering.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Just opened it and started it up. Tested both fuel sources. Worked fine so far. Have yet to use in a load situation.

Very silent, works just as I expected.

I bought this unit to use as a backup in case of power loss, as we're getting into hurricane season and I learned my lesson during the Texas Winter Storm. It's more silent than I expected, very portable (considering its capacity), and does the job just fine.
Only issue I had is that the manual states to add the full bottle of oil (0.6 qt), but the motor took only about 0.5 qt before it was already measuring at the high level on the dipstick. It's a little weird, makes me wonder if it's not a brand-new unit...but considering the first couple oil changes take place quite fast anyways, I don't see it as a major issue.
I wish it could run on natural gas as well...I assume it doesn't give the option from OEM mostly due to emissions regulations, though...

Super quite

Unit does what it claims to do, super quite and fires right up on propane or gas. This will make a great addition to our 5th wheel camper if we should ever need it.

Very quiet

from Southwest Florida Punta Gorda area
I finally was able to get this generator on 6/17/21. It has been on backorder for a while. So far so good I ran 10 minutes on gasoline and another 10 minutes on propane. I am going to use Rec fuel plus add Marine stable. Doing everything I can do to ensure no water in the gas. And stabilization of the gas so it will last longer. Note the owner's manual says to dump in the whole container of oil which is .63 quarts. Do not do it because it will overfill. My estimates are that it's probably at about.55 quarts. After the break-in oil because I live in Southwest Florida I am going to follow the recommendation of stepping up to an oil way to 15 w40 because we are pretty much always over 80 degrees in Florida. Also I am a believer in the manual States you can use synthetic. The push button start works great and the auto start on the fob works great. It came packaged well with no damage. This will be used strictly for our Villa for power outages and for the risk of hurricanes. For maintenance I plan to run once a month for at least 20 minutes under load

Best in class

A rare 5 star from me. Duel fuel and remote start great pluses. First start with remote start. If I could think of a negative, it has nothing to do with the quality but it would be nice to have a way to attach a chain and lock to the frame.

This generator is loaded with perks

After comparing with other leading brands with sustain power between 3000 to 5000 watts, this igen4500DF is absolutely the winner. Aside from remote start, key fob start and digital data, you can't beat the option of running the generator between gas and profane. That alone is the game changer.
