attached wheels and feet, added oil. Directions very clear. started right up. Battery charged and key fob remote start all worked as advertised. Feel much better having this backup given the severe weather seems to come more and more frequently these days!
I would recommend this to a friend!

The model number is igen4500 not igen4500DF. Generator runs quiet and has all the appropriate outlets. Bonus item is supposed to be a 15 foot power strip.

I waited to right the review until I have been able to try it out. While I haven’t been camping, I believe lack of use isn’t good, so I do monthly run everything in my RV. Over the last three month I have used the generator to operate and warm up my RV. I bought it for all of it’s features. Here is a list of things that I think would be helpful for those thinking about buying one.
- Directions were easy to follow.
- It is simple to change from gas to propane.
- Instructions say start without a load, but it has a remote start. Still confused about this.
- When cold I have had to push the start twice for it to start, but it starts with no problem with the electric start.
- I tried to start it with the pull start. Only tried it a couple times and it didn’t start. I think it would work but not a one or two pull cold start. I think this would tie back to how lone it takes the electric start to work.
- The box it came in wasn’t sturdy. There wasn’t any damage to the unit but the box was not reusable. I believe these boxes were designed for transport by pallet not single shipment, something they should look at redesigning.
- It is about 100lbs something to consider.
- If you leave gas in it run it once a month for a least ½ hour.
- It was able to run my AC and microware at the same time.
- For RV’ers I have discovered that the “hot” water heater uses a lot of power, might consider using it propane mode
While it’s the first generator I have owned, it has met all my expectations and would purchase it again.
