Great generator but had some issues out of the box

After searching for a decently priced generator, I'd decided on the IGen 4500. It was delivered a day earlier than originally said. After unboxing it, I followed start up procedure. Oil, fuel and battery checked and tries to start it with no response. It would crank over but not start. Checked fuel to the carb and it was there. Figured out where the choke was and figured out that it wasn't workin. Hand choked it and fired right up. Done a little research and found that the automatic choke wire was a problem area with these generators. To side panel off and sure enough the automatic choke wire wasn't plugged up. Plugged it in, reassembled the side panel, hit the start switch and Baam I have an awesome generator.

GREAT Power and comes with Remote Control!

We bought this to replace a loud older generator that we used with our camper. It is a dream, it is quiet, the remote is awesome and it runs the AC in the Colorado Mountains. This was easy to set up out of the box and use and we would highly recommend it to anyone!

Love quick access doors to battery and oil fill

I bought this generator iGen4500 with remote start option for my camper as I needed 30 amp power to run at least 1 ac unit in hot summers. After months of searching for a generator and reading many reviews I am looking forward to this and hopefully for good quality and reliability over time. Have only used once so far and comparing to others it is fairly quiet and reasonable for its size so far.

Quiet and Powerful

I bought this generator as a product referred by a friend. We go to dirtbike races and everyone "circles the wagons" with their campers. Proud to say I'm not the loudest generator running now. It is quiet for sleeping in the RV as well as powerful enough to run the ac and microwave with no issues.

Will not start but it looks great!

The machine will not start when it is cold. There is an electric choke that does not work on these models. your odds are 50/50 that you get a model that has this problem. I am going to start the process Monday. I will let you know how the customer service process is in future reviews.

Easy to read status and very quiet

Bought it about a week ago, have been through the break in and put under load. So far it has been great and handles everything in the travel trailer with ease. Just add oil that is supplies and its ready for you to start using. The remote start is a pretty handy feature and if battery is low or dies there is a pull start for back up. So far so good. Would recommend.

Very Convenient Power

I bought a iGen4500 for my camper. Very convenient remote control!! Just turn off 110 volt main breaker, push the start button, wait a few minutes & turn the main breaker back on. That simple. Same for turning off. Turn off breaker & let the inverter cool off for a few minutes, then push the off button on the remote. All from inside the camper. Plenty of power to run everything. May not be enough for a 2 AC unit camper but very capable for my needs.

iGen4500

After reading reviews of good and bad, and watching YouTube videos if I happen to get one with the Choke issue I decided to order one ,just like a lot of reviews said choke comes unplugged in shipping I had that happen to me, wouldn't start so pulled sides off plugged choke wire back in and boom fired right up and no problems since, runs everything on rv and very quiet. Glad I made purchase

Working perfectly

Everything arrived fine. Filled up and hit the remote start button and it started 1st time! Pulls 11A well pump while my 10A heat pump, some lights, a 3.5A dehumidifier are already running. Performing exactly as I would hope. Note that this unit is quieter than my Champion Power 3100W gen at every load from 0 to 100%. This report is with about 95 hours so far in an RV setting.
