Excellent generator so far!

I purchased this Igen 2500 recently, after adding oil and fuel started up on third pull, runs quieter than my old Honda 1800ex. Much more fuel efficient also. It has a slight uneven idle when is on economy mode without load. Runs perfect on normal. The only other issue was a sticky fuel level float, that needed a little push to get free. Overall is great portable power for not a lot of money.

Excellence 30A rv generator

Bought this for my Cougar 5th Wheel. We do a lot of dry camping, and my older generator was a little louder than i would like. Always felt it might be an annoyance to other campers. The iGen4500c is just a soft purr when running. I can hardly notice it running, while inside the RV. Haven't been able to run the AC unit yet as it's too cold to get the compressor to cycle. Running the AC fan, microwave, and DC converter at the same time didn't seem to elevate the noise level that much. There is one aspect of the remote start that I will have to test come camping season. The "Battery ON" switch, that has an indicator light lit in the on position, has to be "on" to allow the remote start function. So, my concern is, will this draw enough of the start battery power over night to compromise the next remote start? Hopefully it's an LED indicator and the draw is minimal. The engine oil service looks like it could be a little messy, as the drain allows the oil to collect in the plastic bottom cover. Some rags or shop towels are a must for that operation. Putting the oil in, prior to start-up, I parked the unit over a scrap piece of plywood anticipating some "drippage", but none was found. An awesome plus is the Data panel, as i was planning on adding that feature to my old generator! Overall it seems to be a nice unit and I am looking forward to next years camping season with it.

Nice generator, once the choke is fixed

We bought this generator to power our travel trailer. Added oil and gas....wouldn't start. Did some research online and found the "fix" for the automatic choke. Once that issue was taken care of, the iGen4500 does everything we wanted and expected it to do. It runs our A/C on the camper with not a great amount of noise.

Awesome Generator

I bought this generator for my mini donut trailer about a month ago and it’s been wonderful. I’ve had several vendors come up and ask how I liked it and that it was much more quieter than other brands. Electric start is quick and remote start is nice for easy setup. The 3 gallon tank is nice at long events so that you don’t have to refill during.

Works Awesome

I have not had it a long time. First time starting it up to break-in, it started first time. I have been using it to run lights and air compressor in my garage. Been using it to run my toy hauler. Works perfectly. Pros: super super quiet. Equal to a Honda. It has a remote, plug-in battery charge, a function monitor, screw in oil funnel which is great, fuel filter when pouring gas into it, and all the controls are easy to read and understand. Very user friendly. And it’s easy to move around with the handle. Cons: access to the oil compartment is a little small but I have big hands. So far, this has been a great generator. Extremely happy with it.

Review is for WH2200iXLT which works great

This is the wrong generator. Mine wasn't listed in the drop down box. I bought the WH2200iXLT and it works great. Starts by the second pull and runs for hours. I put it to the test for two weeks in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I had to charge deep cycle batteries to run my biPAP machine and even used it for a toaster. Also, ran some lights while the batteries were charging. Never any problem.

Easy to set up and use, quiet, powerful

I bought this for my new camper, for when I go off grid. Something big enough to power the AC when it starts, and also big enough to serve as backup power to run a couple room heaters if the power goes out. Easy to setup, easy to use, so far. Quiet. I like the eco mode for when you don't need the full output. Also, I like that it is RV ready, and I like a no-frills machine (no dual fuel, no electric remove start, so many, many fewer things to break).

Great generator

Just bought this generator, plan on using this with our 30ft fifth wheel RV. Like all of the features. Started right up after adding oil and fuel out of the box. Arrived in perfect condition. The one draw back is the remote start. Says should work from 99 feet away. It won't work enless I'm standing with-in 15ft of the generator. I'm going to re-pair the remote to generator as directions in book say to do to see if that solves the problem.

Quiet, well designed, good price

Received generator in good condition. Directions straight forward to set up. Only thing was to connect battery I had to plug positive and negative terminal harness to generator harness. Wires were already connected to battery although negative terminal connection was loose.Replaced plastic oil fill plug with a magnetic one to capture metal shavings during break in period. Unit started right up. Very quite. Plugged in a chest freezer and refrigerator, worked well. Fairly easy to wheel around with luggage style telescoping handle.Time will tell of it’s durability.

Looks Great and Quite!

First glance was a little iffy due to the box being destroyed. I'm sure through shipping. Followed the instructions when i got it home. started right up and it is very quite! I will do the break in process and use it over the weekend and will be back for a follow up review. initial thoughts - cosmetically looks great, very quite and i like the display in the front.
