Reliable, Tough, and best of all quiet

I bought this generator as off grid power for my travel trailer, after seeing how well one performed on my son's 1' sailing catamaran. We both have put these generators through some tough conditions and harsh environments. We also service and maintain our equipment well. But these things are just plain tough. One of the best purchases either of us has made. I would highly recommend the iGen4500 to anyone who needs tough, reliable portable power.

Easy set-up & super quiet!

I bought this in September 2018 to replace an old generator. I was looking for a good sized generator, but wanted something quiet. The iGen4500 is way quieter than I expected. You really can have a normal conversation standing right next to it. With my old generator, I felt embarrassed to use it after hours during power outages, but not with this generator,; I'm serious, its quiet! I love the remote starter, I can turn on and off from inside the house about 50' away. I am very happy with this generator, and I don't write many reviews...

So easy to start

Luckily, we have not needed to use this generator yet. But it was very easy to set-up. And I can already tell that it is so easy to start. It also seems to run a bit quieter than our old generator. I like the remote control feature too! I have no doubt that it will be easy to use when the need arises.

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).

Excellent Generator

I recently purchased the iGen4500 and so far am very pleased with it. It is loaded with features, easy to start, quiet and compact. My only suggestion for improvement so far would be to make the oil fill a bit easier to access. The unit did come with a screw-in funnel tube that makes the job of adding oil easier.

No choke problems

I purchased this to run my 40 ft camper for up coming hunting season. Received much faster than expected and no damage. Pull unit out put oil and gas in it fired right up ,the one negative review that keep popping up was a choke issues do to the automatic choke wire not plugged in or coming unplugged in shipping. I have run all most two hours of the break in time running everything from a 1000 watt microwave to a crosscut saw no issues. My only disappointment is this generator isn’t as quiet as I hoped it’s not Honda quiet but for the price I it’s do able

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.

It works great right out of the box

I had no trouble with setting up this piece of equipment. The accessory toolkit was helpful with the funnel included in the kit filling the oil was a breeze! The battery charger is which was included in the toolkit is also a nice feature. I charged the battery over night just to be sure that it had enough of a charge to start the device the next day and test the generator out by hooking it up to my camping trailer. The generator pasted the test with flying colors with plenty of power for my camping needs. The remote start is a godsend for my wife in using the generator. the generator is also markedly quieter than my other generator. The compact size is nice too. My other generator is a Craftsman rated a 5600 running watts and is much larger and more cumbersome so the Li'l Blue as I now call my new generator is just about perfect in everyway as far as a portable power source could be. We my wife and I are looking forward to getting out in the mountains of Montana and doing a lot more camping made more enjoyable with our new power source.

Very Pleased

I needed to open the side and front panel to reconnect the wire harness for the automatic choke, but it was an easy and immediate fix. I have used the generator several times with my travel trailer. The remote start is great, and the generator runs appliances and the a/c with ease. It is also extremely quiet. I have camped near several other generator brands and the iGen4500 is by far the most quiet.

Doesn't get an easier than this

Out of the box it took less than 10 mins before we were up and running. Very manageable for one person and so quiet compared to my last generator - such an improvement! Do yourself a favor and add the oil slowly and in phases. My generator didn't quite take the full quart. I plan to use this for my camper and as a partial home back up generator. So far so good!
