My new favorite Generator

This is one of the best generators i have ever used. I use it with my travel trailer when we camp on the beach. it is super quiet so it doesn't annoy the neighbors and i love the remote on/off option. no more having to run outside! its so much easier to move than my original. My only complaint is that the label that has the serial number on it has completely eroded.

Exactly what I expected after much research

Bought this recently and am very satisfied with it. Although I cannot comment on longevity, I see no reason why it wouldn't last for years with regular usage if maintained well. It is VERY quiet. Preparation for first time usage is simple. Instructions in operators manual are very fragmented with an overkill of warnings about "don't do this or you may die" but if you are able to read thru this, all of the important information is there. Instructions for first time use include adding .6 L (the total capacity of engine oil) of 10w-30 motor oil. The oil provided is in a .6 L bottle and instructions say to pour entire bottle into oil fill reservoir. Makes sense, except when I did this, it over-filled the reservoir a bit and oil overflowed, which I had to quickly take care of. I'm assuming this is because of residual oil used for testing at the factory that was not entirely drained before shipping. Also, the serial number of this machine is nowhere to be found ON THE MACHINE. It is a sticker on the outside of the box. I spent some time searching for this by removing panels off the machine only to find nothing, and to resort to searching the website for "location of serial number". Overall - GREAT generator and I'd buy again. Highly recommended.

iGen2200

I purchased 2 of these generators about a month ago and waited till today to "fire them up". Directions were super simple (this is my 1st time using this type of portable power). I am bringing my travel trailer home next Saturday and will see get a live test as I also have on order the Westinghouse Parallel Power Cord. I was very pleased with the smooth sound too. Of course the real test will be when I use them for boon docking.

Powerhouse

I purchased in August 2021 to augment my on board rv generator that was having issues (1997 generac). I plan on using in camp for hunting. I have been using over a month now and this unit was the talk in camp. One guy had the honda 3000 and was considering selling his and buying this unit. It has remote start, more powerful, just as quiet and comes with wheels, that the honda did not. I am at the 23 hr point and am changing the oil today (recommended is 25 hrs-close enough). I did put on the high altitude kit because I use it at 7000 ft. Runs awesome. The kit was a bit of a pain to put on. Could not find a good westinghouse video for installation of the high altitude kit. Onan has a good video and the units are nearly identical. Onan costs about 20-25% more.

Great features, really quiet

Just fired the new IGen4500 up today. I don’t have a lot of experience with generators. It was easy to set up. The directions did say to use all the oil it comes with. That made it overflow I little. Started up on the first push of the button, and never stopped purring. The remote worked first push also. We were really surprised at how quiet it ran. Conversation right next to it was easy.

Good gen for the money

I am happy with the power output of the unit and how incredibly quiet it is. However, the push button and remote start work very sporadically. Would be 5 stars if that worked as advertised, but other than that the pull start is very easy and generally starts within 1-2 pulls.

Best I have ever OWNED

I bought this generator in June and used over the 4th of July camping and on our camping trip to Montana. It worked great the whole time. It is extremely quiet and I had numerous other campers come ans ask me about it. It ran our air conditioner in our 28 foot travel trailer just fine. I rate this a 5 star!!!

One out of three is bad

The generator is nice compact and super quiet. The display panel gives the power and the voltage but adding Amps would be a plus. Because the generator surges at startup, the only way to get it to start and run smoothly is to remove the side panel which would not be good in an emergency. The generator needs an access panel for the choke without having to pull the whole side. The remote start is a nice feature but totally pointless. The manual states nothing should be plugged in to the receptacles and the generator should not be under load at start up. If you have to go outside and plug everything in after it is running why even have a remote start. The handle makes it nice to maneuver but it is tucked underneath the generator so an older person has trouble bending over to grasp the handle. It needs to be redesigned to accommodate less agile users. The generator comes with a spark plug wrench, oil and funnel as well as a battery charger. The instruction say or add the entire contents of the oil container but don’t because it will overfill the reservoir causing the excess oil to spill out. I really like the concept of this generator and I think with a few modifications it could be a really great unit but In the current running condition I am reluctant it will be fully operational when needed

Out of box

Right out out box, I hook up battery with easy one plug. Filled with oil, comes with great funnel, put gas, turn on/ off button, press start button and started right up. Tested remote, press off and one, remote was already Program in. Needed for 30 amp for rv, will test trm. Cons: didn't come with strap for battery, will get in contact with mfg.
