After researching several generators, I decided to give the ERAYAK 4500W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator a try, and I��m glad I did. My first impression was that it felt much more solid and well-made than I expected for the price. Everything was packed neatly, and it even came with useful accessories like the propane hose, funnel, tools, and a detailed manual.Setup was straightforward and took less than 15 minutes. I mainly bought it as a backup power source for outages, but I also wanted something versatile enough for outdoor use. The dual-fuel feature was a major selling point, and being able to switch between gasoline and propane gives me extra peace of mind during emergencies.What impressed me most was how easy it was to start. It fired up quickly and ran smoothly right away. The noise level is also very reasonable. It��s not silent, but it��s much quieter than the conventional generators I��ve owned in the past. I could comfortably hold a conversation standing nearby without having to raise my voice.Performance has been excellent so far. During testing, it handled my refrigerator, internet equipment, lights, phone chargers, and a few small appliances without any issues. I also like knowing that the inverter technology provides clean power for electronics, so I don��t have to worry about damaging sensitive devices.Overall, this generator feels like a quality product that offers a lot of value for the money. It��s easy to use, reliable, fuel-efficient, and gives me confidence that I��ll have power when I need it most. So far, it has exceeded my expectations, and I wouldn��t hesitate to recommend it to friends and family looking for a dependable backup generator.

We bought this product for use during power outages during hurricanes in Florida . It is clean, easy to use, lightweight to move around and has enough power for our refrigerator, television, coffee pot and other low loads when we need them. We are using natural gas and bought the model with an electric start for ease of use.

I have been looking for a generator for a while, after reading several reviews we decided to give this one a try due to the price and power combination. We bought this to use for one out of camping trips! We were not disappointed. The generator has amazing power. We were able to run the heater and several other plugs for multiple family members including two teenager, so you know it was running nonstop ;). The value for the money is amazing. I was satisfied with how long we ran it and we did not run out of propane. We camped for the weekend on one tank of propane, which wasn’t empty when we got home. It’s easy to use and I was able to carry it by myself and I am a 5 foot women. The weight of the generator is a mere 54 lbs compared to several others that are much heavier. This makes transporting it a lot easier. It has handles to make transporting it easily and carrying it easier.

The design is great has an easy-to-use knob and an easy pull to start. It was not difficult to start and never shut off. Also, when running some generators give off a heave odor. I could not even smell this one. the design is functional and esthetic. Easy fix you just switch it back. Enough power to run my fridge and deep freezer and also has the plug options for the larger appliances. Luckily we had this because a storm hit the following weekend and we lost power for a day. This was able to keep our deep freezer running and none of the food went bad. If you are looking for a generator to purchase this one would be a great buy. Would def recommend!

First off, this generator is really nice. It's compact, packed up nicely, was double boxed and secured well. I bought a smaller Erayak in the past that I liked which was just enough power for a deep freezer and maybe a fridge, however this generator is dual-fuel, which allows me to run it off a propane tank instead of having to store gasoline. This is a lot easier, as you can see in the picture above with the hose. I got the hose and connectors for my propane setup on Amazon from Patiogem for $44, and it works great.

I highly recommend watching the YouTube video from James Condon about this generator. He does a great job showing and explaining the proper break-in process, which is very important. The oil in the picture above shows how dirty it got after the 1st change, full of metal fragments.

The oil was pretty hard to find in small containers—I had to visit 3 different automotive stores before finding quart-sized SAE 15W-40, as most stores only carried gallons. However, if you can't find that specific oil, James mentions a suitable alternative in his video. It took about 3 full plastic fillers at the 200 line to fill it up properly using the filler included with the generator.

I used 2 space heaters to pull enough wattage to break the generator in properly. I ran it for about an hour before my 1st oil change, which, as you can see, came out quite dirty.

Overall, it's a great generator that I highly recommend. I won't be using it often and will keep it stored most of the time, but I am glad how easy it was to get going, how much power it comfortably ran, and most of all, how convenient it is to run on propane.

Been watching James Condon's videos for a while, and, I suppose impulse bought this because it ticked the boxes that I have been thinking about and I was impressed with how it performed. Clean sine wave inverter, good capacity, can run in parallel if needed, and for me, dual fuel (propane and gasoline). No natural gas in my area, so I won't use that.

Admittedly I haven't put it to much work yet, but I have been running it for break-in on both gasoline and propane. It starts on the second or third pull for me. It does auto-switch between the two fuels as described, stumbling slightly but not stalling out. I did notice the red propane light only partially lighting up when I slowly cracked the propane valve, but when I shut it off, paused, and then opened it quickly, the red light lit up bright. I did the first oil change after 1-1/2 hours of running, and there was some fine glitter in the oil, but nothing that concerns me yet. I'm running 15W-40 in it.

Overall, it seems like a good unit, but there are a couple of things worth mentioning. For one, the sticker on the side says 450mL oil, the manual says 0.6L of oil, and I ended up adding 650mL to get halfway up the dipstick. 450mL barely wet the tip of the dipstick. Also, the Phillips-head gas bowl drain screw is blocked by the side support bar. It looks like it'll be tricky to drain the bowl. Update: Not really tricky, but use a flatblade instead, Phillips didn't catch very well. Draining the bowl does get a few teaspoons of gas out.

But the unit runs very smooth, is not noisy (I wouldn't say it's quiet, but it's not annoying), it holds voltage and frequency well (~122V at 59.97Hz is what I was seeing with 1000W of load), and the wheeled dolly addition makes it easy to move around. I'm pleased with it so far. I'm feeding it non-ethanol gasoline but am going to invest in a couple more containers of propane for longer term storage. This will be an emergency generator for me. Here in Texas we need all the backup power we can get.

I bought this for a long camping trip, and it came in quite useful for lighting and to keep the tent warm, which it did quite well. What separated this one from my other generators is that it can be turned on with propane and not just gas, which saved me money. Also, it's quite small for the power that it puts out, which is a good thing in my case since our tent wasn't big. Besides that, it helps around the house. For example, we had a typhoon in our area, and the power went out, so it was useful to keep the heat and our living room lights on and never died on us.

At first, the cost kind of scared me off a bit, but as it turned out, it was actually more convenient since I would have to buy two generators for the power this one brings. This one seems like it would outlast the other ones anyways. My brother also bought one, and he has also been happy with it, saying that it lasts for a long time and is better than most of his other generators. It is good value for the price. I like that you can alternate between gas and propane, so use what is more convenient for you.

Overall, I would recommend this product. In summary, it lasts a while, is functional, and is surprisingly a good bang for the buck. I asked my brother if he would recommend this to anyone else, and in the brief time he had it, he also says he would recommend it and that it's all around a pretty good product, especially for it being propane and gas powered . I think it is must have product that each household needs to have. Recommend.

This is a mighty generator in it's small form factor. It comes in at only 54lbs whereas similar competition are weighing in close to 100lbs.
Some pros and cons of this generator are listed below:
Pros: Lightweight, Dual Fuel (Propane, Gasoline), Super Quiet!
Con: No Eco throttle switch, it defaults to low idle, but revving up may be necessary for larger appliances. Since this is a larger generator, I'm not worried about it.

This is an excellent product. I’ve been using it for several weeks now for my small car wash business, and honestly, I have no complaints. It is also very economical in terms of consumption, as you can run it on gas alone or on a combination of gas and propane simultaneously. It’s not difficult to figure out at all—it is very simple to use.

The new generator out of the box surges in Run mode while using gasoline then shuts down. Reached out to supplier. After discussions I asked if they cannot resolve to send a replacement.. The supplier sent a replacement unit.
