No mess.. I am always spilling my gasoline when dumping it in my car to go out and buy fresh every 6 months.

@alexisjqr 4 года назад

Wow. This generator is the best of what I've researched so far. So many features in one package. In the end, the generators are as good as the maintenance you give them. I know that the Honda and Yamaha are the flagships and they could be considered the best in performance and durability, but now a days so many other brands do have the know how of this small inverter generators that you can buy almost any other brand and as long as you give them proper maintenance, they will last a long time. Bottom line, that's my opinion. Have a great one everybody!

@SilverCymbal 4 года назад

I agree with you completely. This one is still a bargain but maintenance is key!

@williamkunte5361 4 года назад

@nhlcfl7733 2 года назад

I agree as well. As an owner of this same unit, it cost about half the price of buying two ~2000 watt Hondas or Yamahas with twinning kit and yet they don’t have as much “continuous power” and do. It have a remote start, let alone the ability to use propane as an optional fuel. I didn’t realize how good & unique of a product I chose almost two years ago now, yet love it so far. Oh, and as mentioned, maintenance is key 👍🏼. So I conduct more frequent oil changes than recommended (such a small cost for preventative measures) what, it will help it last much longer.

@edlafond1 4 года назад

Nice unit and review. I have a 9575 watt duel fuel Champion. It's never seen a drop of gas. That will be the backup since propane has an indefinite shelf life and will be my main source of fuel.....of course, as you mentioned, propane doesn't have the BTU content of gasoline.....Mine is rates @ 7500 watts with propane. But for $900 it is a great option for backup power.

@tomclark9142 3 года назад

Silver, can you confirm the DF (Dual Fuel) version also has the gasoline fuel cut-off feature by which all fuel in the carburetor is burned before shutting down? This, to me, is perhaps the most attractive and valuable feature. Along with electric remote stop and start.

@larryloar4178 2 года назад

@90Beater 4 года назад

I just purchased one due to the new frequent California blackouts ($1000 at Amazon). It is very quiet so it won't bother the neighbors. I have run two refrigerators, a whole entertainment system, 1 fast computer and all networking equipment and it was only at 25% load. It has run for over 40 hours on a 30 Lb propane tank and it still has more gas in it. I wanted one that would be easy enough for my wife to start up in an outage when I'm not home. For now using a 30 amp 50' RV cord to a 2 - 20 amp 120v plug splitter. Next is to setup a generator shed and connect it to the house with a switch panel. I plan on only using propane since it will not go bad over time like gas will.

@jonsmith2217 4 года назад

Go with on demand propane or natural gas hot water heater, stove and blue flame propane or natural gas heat. And you don't need 220 volts. Myself I prefer propane that way the government cannot shut off your natural gas in a state of emergency or disaster or whatever they say. You could take a normal generator and get the tri-fuel kit that runs Gasoline, propane or natural gas. That way if you have natural gas to your house and it gets shut off in a state of emergency, natural disaster, snow storm you can still switch over to propane, gasoline or natural gas and keep running. A tri-fuel add on kit to a generator does this.

As a mechanic who has fixed a lot of generators, the most common problem I see is stale fuel, and carburetors clogged by stale fuel residue. As such, I think most people would be better served by a propane powered generator because you avoid that problem.

@dfloyd888 4 года назад

That is the reason I purchased it. I can run it on gasoline on Saturday, then on Sunday, switch to propane to clean out the carb bowl and the lines, ensuring the carb is completely dry before going into storage. I have found that E0 also makes a lot of difference, since even with additives, ethanol gas (E10-E15) does corrode carbs.

Is it loud?

@dfloyd888 4 года назад

@@jacksonvang3429 It will be definitely louder than a Honda eu2000i or a Honda eu3000i when they are idle. However, the iGen 4500 DF is definitely quieter than an open frame generator. The efficiency mode switch helps when it is unloaded, but once you get past a quarter to half load, the engine is going to be at 3600 RPM, so the switch doesn't matter at higher loads. If you are used to Champion or open frame construction generators, this is quieter. If you are used to the quiet purring of a Honda eu2200i, expet this to be relatively louder.

Ducar seems to make this generator for several North American companies and they specialize in the North American market. The user manual I received with my IG4500 DF includes multiple exploded diagrams of the unit with part numbers. For example need a cylinder head that's part number 180855.

@@shadowdance4666, when compared to a good generator at under $2,000, a small battery at $2,000 that could provide power for 7 to 8 hours then have to be recharged might not be as appealing as just pouring another 4 gallons of gas into a generator for another15 to 24 hours of power, if you are frugal in your use of that power.

@shadowdance4666 4 года назад

Bruce Jones well, I have a battery now for $500. It can output around 800 watts for an hour or more. More time with less wattage. If I don’t use it doesn’t have to run on the down time like most generators do. I’m getting more and more used to using electric devices with battery power. I like not having to buy gas, store gas, treat it, service engines, dealing with the exhaust or noise. I especially don’t like supporting Big Oil.

I am looking for a generator like this to use the remote start or wire it up for a 2 wire start from my solar system inverter. For propane mode there is no way to remote start it with the inverter efficiency mode on MARK or does the propane set up not allow the efficiency mode?

I recently received (the very hard to get) iGen4500DF. I'm hearing an intermittent "rasping" sound when the generator output is between 1900 and 2300 Watts. The noise does not start until I exceed about 1900 Watts, it goes away again if I go over 2300 Watts. You have to be somewhat close to the generator to hear it, but it is definitely there. I have connected a Voltmeter, a Frequency meter, and an oscilloscope (through a 12VAC step down isolation transformer). When the generator makes this funny noise, the voltage, frequency, and wave-form remain perfect. I'm posting this in case someone else has had the same issue or perhaps would like to try their generator at these load levels and see if it makes any kind of "extra" noise. By the way, the generator continues to produce 120VAC right up to 3300 Watts.

You amazon link in the description comes up with the non dual fuel version at $950 Prime. The DF is only available from third parties at $1800 + tax.

It ran out of stock, if you check back soon it will be back for under $1100.

The best use of RU-vid to showcase products I would otherwise not be aware of.Thanks for the review. Ps I can see that handy dual fuel if I ran out of gas and the local station could not pump gas due to power outage. How long can it run on a 20lb propane tank ? Do they make a larger model with the same features ?

It looks like this is the only size they have now, I would love a 7000 version but the convenience of this one is really great. Thank you for the nice comment

Good review again! I’m intrigued by dual fuel generators I think they make a lot of sense for long-term emergency preparedness. I saw Costco has a dual fuel Champion generator. Non-inverter type. Any thoughts on those? They are quite cheap for the capacity that you get. Although I know these also run quite a bit louder.

@JesusG90247 4 года назад

I would say it all depends on your demand the bigger the generator the more it can handle.... for $1,000 you can buy 12kw gen that will provide 50 amps @ 240 volts

Thank you very much. I have heard positive stuff about the Champions, haven't tried them yet myself.

Non inverter gives dirty power that can damage electronics, but for general use and emergency back up they are good. A lot louder but more power for the $$$. For camping I wouldn't recommend an open frame generator, they are very loud. Kinda kills the mood nd pisses off the neighbors.

I'm not in the market for a generator, I have no need of one but I watched the whole thing. Didn't know you could get one, would have been handy when I used to run an exhibition trailer. Are these available in the UK?

Did they fix the gas leak problem, because they are on Amazon dont know if its the old model with the gas leak proble or the repaired new models? How do I know the difference?
