Not running well out of the box

Wish I could give it a better grade. Love everything about it feature wise, but it sputters when it is hot. Has stalled numerous times. People are relying on me to provide power at a tailgate, but the thing keeps stopping. Embarrassing, annoying, and disappointing. They have a real winner on their hands feature wise, but why not build something that works.

Great unboxing/start-up

Received the product fast and it arrived fast without any damage to the box. Once i unboxed the generator the only thing I noticed was the casing where the molds are created, one piece had a few small imperfections. Aside from that everything was great.after adding oil, fuel, and connecting the plug for the battery it fired right up. I ran it for about 30 minutes without a load for break-in and will run it for about an hour tomorrow before placing any load on it. It is super quiet at idle and while running. Would recommend this product to anyone that requires this much power.

Like it

The product was as you said it was so far. It started up right away after doing the maintenance on it when it arrived. The only problem is it's a lot heavier than what I was expecting. I always camp alone so unloading it and reloading it will be a problem. I will have to make a hoist to load it in on the trailer rack. But so far I am happy with it.

So far so good

I just received this generator. Switched from a competing brand. So far I like the features this generator has over my previous one. The slide out handle, remote start and digital display are definite upgrades. We will see how it runs during the cold MN winter. Will wait on my final opinion until then.

Great Buy

Decided to get a generator that could work for our travel trailer and also help with power outages at the house. This one fit the bill for both places. It helps that it has wheels and a handle since we are older. Easy to start and the noise level is low.

Igen5000

Bought this genny to run my camper. It was a vacation saver. Thru several days of over 95 degrees, the genny performed flawlessly keeping our camper cool for when we needed a break from the heat without guzzling jug after jug of gas. Though not as quiet as a 2000 watt genny, it did not cause any disturbance. Great product.

Wow!

I upgraded from a Honda 2000 that I didn't use all that much since I got a lot of power from my solar panel and inverter. BUT I am full time and love to boondock and now I can use my AC in the summer.....yay!! I have tested it with the AC on, Fridge on and microwave on....no problem!!!

Great Generator at AnAmazing price

I've only used this product a few times in the time that I've owned it and I love it. Its nice and quiet and doesn't seem to use a ton of fuel while in use. To be fair I haven't even come close to making it put out all of the power its capable of but that time will come soon now that its getting warm out and ill be using it to run my A/C in my RV. The only problems (1st World) I can think of as of right now is that the remote start is very laggy and sometimes doesn't work at all. Another thing that concerns me is not knowing if the generator also charges the on-board battery while its running. I couldn't locate this information in the owners manual. So that for me brought it down from a 5 star to 4.

Auto choke problem

This generator checked all the boxes for me including wireless starting, quiet, large fuel tank. Because of my extensive research I was well aware of the problem with the auto choke. Since I am capable of fixing it, I went ahead and bought it. Mine did have the problem with the disconnected auto choke wire as well as my connector was broke. After I fixed the connector the generator ran fine. I did the proper break in which includes installing a magnetic oil dipstick and running the generator under various loads drain oil and repeat. The pictures below show the metal particles that were collected by the magnetic dipstick during the break in. Look forward to many years of service.

Great inverter!

Bought this about a week ago and so far, really great. Starts right up, runs very quiet and has the power needed. Only issue is changing the oil could be a little less messy. Should have a funnel system going to the hole. Other than that couldn't be more pleased. Time will tell!
