I bought this as a replacement for another generator that was stolen. The other one was so loud I almost hated to use it since it disturbed other campers. This unit is extremely quiet. I have not used it with my RV yet, but look forward to being able to use it without disturbing everyone else.

As expected, this iGen4500 is a powerhouse! Great output. Easy to operate. If you're having trouble starting it (turns over, but won't start), open the side panel and flip the choke, then try it. Don't forget to turn the choke back off after it starts.

We have only ran for 30 hours so far but it does run quite, we can sleep in are RV with it running. Disappointed that it would not run out of the box, we had to take it apart and attach some wires that came lose during shipping, apparently it is an issue and we found the fix online. Wish remote had a google between full power and low power.

Works great now, but I had two problems. No. 1---the 30 amp connector is installed upside down, so, using a right angle male connector the cable faces up. Not a major issue. No. 2---the unit started and ran perfectly the first time I tried it. The next day we had a power outage, but when I started the unit it ran very rough, had no output, and smoked a bit. I assumed the automatic choke was stuck engaged. I removed the side cover and found what I thought was the problem. A metal tube around the spark plug wire had distorted a smaller tube next to it because of interference. I corrected this and also tapped on the carburetor since I could not locate anything that looked like an automatic choke. Don't know which action worked but the unit ran correctly after that and I have now run it about six times with no issues. Hope that is the end of the problem.

Just purchased the generator last week everything was well packed. Can't wait to start it up. Easy set up. Owners manual is clearly written and seems to cover each operational step plus maintenance. Love the electric start. Good looking generator. Ready for hurricane season.

I received the generator on 6/26 and used 100% synthetic oil instead of he oil received with the unit. With the cost of the unit, why put in a cheaper oil. I ended up doing a 6 hr. break-in and varied the wattage from 22-1,643 with many changes over the time period. The digital data center is very handy for tracking the various outputs of the generator. I had no problems during the break-in process. In fact everything went smoothly as one would expect. I am only running ethanol free gas in it and it will be drained of fuel until we have the potential of a hurricane coming our way. I live in Florida and had a Honda 2000 for back-up, for the last 2 years, but never needed it as the hurricanes skirted us with only some higher winds and some rain. I bought this generator because I wanted to make sure I had the power to run the refer/freezer, microwave, TV, internet, lighting and various small items.

Product is as described. Had issues with the auto choke function initially. Thankfully I found a service bulletin online. Seems the wiring can jar lose during shipment which affects the electronics. Fortunately I'm mechanically inclined and was able to reconnect the wiring following the service notice. Once done the gen works nicely. Would suggest this element of the equipment be modified to reduce shipping failure point.

I have been looking for months for a backup generator to cover home essential and more during an outage, with lowest DB noise level, for lowest possible price. This is the unit! Meets all my power, low noise level, dual fuel, and functionality needs, with a remote start bonus. Very happy with the unit.

We need a generator for occasional power outages in South Texas. So we looked at a number of units and finally decided to buy this unit. The price was almost too good to be true. It came by freight just two days later, we looked up the start-up procedure and had it running in 5 Minutes. We couldn't try it in the house because we needed a converter cable, but we hooked up the house two days later. The genset purred like a kitten and powered everything (not 240 v devices) at around 2500w with ocassional spikes up to 3600w. This generator can easily be moved around by one person, it has sturdy plastic panels and is really quiet. Love it.

I just purchased this generator. It looks great. I tried to start it and the automatic choke does not operate. I took the side cover off and operated it manually. We will see if the battery being a little week has any thing to do with it. Over all a nice and quiet unit with nice features. I would recommend this generator to all of my camping friends.
