Solid Generator

The generator came in great condition and a day earlier than scheduled. I thought the remote was missing but it was clipped to the pull start cord. I followed the directions for the initial test run and it fired right up. Easy set up. It was actually quieter than I was expecting for being a 4500. I let the generator run for the break in period and it never wavered. This will be a nice upgrade from our “loud” generator when we go camping and for my music entertainment business when in remote locations. Highly recommend.

So far, so good!

Just purchased and went through initial start up. Runs clean and very quiet. Fit and finish is nice. Controls are easy to understand and display concise. I haven't fully taxed the unit with any real world use yet. I will return once I do. Can't wait to leave a fifth star.

Nice Inverter/Generator

I bought this inverter/generator to take camping. It is fairly quiet, has a large fuel tank allowing for long run times and will power the air conditioner on the camper. It's a good solid unit. I use it at high altitudes (9000 ft +) so I purchased separately and installed the high altitude jet before adding fuel or oil. Would be nice if jet kits were included with the unit like some competitors do. Anyone using over 2000 feet is recommended to replace if I remember correctly. Jet install could have a little simpler but the directions were clear.

Simple setup, started immediately

This unit is replacing an old inverter gen. Smaller but much greater output. Can easily run appliances without juggling loads. Displays are very useful. Automatic choke surprise benefit. Slightly louder but cannot be heard outside of my courtyard. Recommended by a close friend, whose son in law owned one, and who regretted that it was not available when he updated his generator.

Generator iGen5000c Model

So far it’s easy set up. Directions are easy to understand. We will be using it this weekend for camping and I am looking forward to it. I read reviews before purchasing and I am excited to test the quietness of this and the ease of getting it up and running.

Lots of great extras for great price

We bought this great little generator specifically to handle the 15k BTU air conditioner for travel trailer. 3k watts is to small to run air and a few other items and 7k watts is over kill and paying for power you really don't need so it fits perfectly in the middle. We can run the A/C, microwave, TV and every light at the same time with no problems. Love the remote start that you pay extra for on other models. It is very quiet and so far have had no issues with our purchase.

Super Quiet

I bought this generator specifically to run the ac unit on my travel trailer. So far it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The design is super sleek, the feature such as remote start are top notch, and the unit is very quiet even when running the ac unit. So far it has been the perfect purchase

Runs After Disassembly and plugging in Choke cable

I bought this a couple months ago and have used it a few times. Runs good. Came without a plug inside the engine unplugged somehow. After nearly returning it I searched the internet and found it's a common problem - took about 20 screws out, found the unplugged choke cable, reassembled and it works good now.

Real pleased so far!

The generator was received in perfect condition. Set up was simple and instructions were very clear. After adding the oil, gas and hooking up the battery the generator started as expected and run perfectly. I am a few hours into the break-in period and all is good.

Quiet and Powerful

Update to my Review of 4 days ago. We are still very happy with the iGen 4500, just wanted to report on small issue of the automatic choke. Thanks to YouTube, I found an easy to follow repair. Seems the automatic choke was not connected to the control module from the factory. Took about 30 minutes to repair myself. As stated, we are still very happy with the iGen4500. This thing is amazing!! Love the remote start. And, yes, it will handle the A/C on our Camper without any problem.
