So far, so good!

I bought this the igen4500 a few days ago after doing some research and reading a bunch of reviews. I had a champion open frame inverter that operated fine, but it was about 15db louder than this. This thing is quiet and much easier to move around. The telescoping handle for moving it around is a super nice feature. And the wheels aren’t an afterthought that stick out and take up more space. More than enough power for my camper

Works Well

This generator works well and is very quiet. Lasted a good trip from Thursday to Sunday with a full tank and 1 refill with pretty heavy use. Only issue was could not get it started when I first got it. Turned out the plug for the choke was never plugged in which is a common issue as many videos popped up. After that was fixed it works well.

Easy to start and quiet, Handle and wheel Awesome

Will Use For Hurricane Power Outages. Starts right up. Only used it for testing so far. I like it although there is No 220 output. I should have noticed this. Seems odd that the Unit requires no load when starting and when turning off. Makes the remote kind of useless.

used a couple of times before it wouldn't start

Bought this less than a year ago and used maybe 4 times after following the break-in instructions then just quit and wouldn't start. Customer Service believes the "TCI" needs replaced and is sending it to me. We'll see how that goes but so far I'm happy with the service.

Not good for 30 amp backup generator for shop

Took the generator out of box added the oil and gas and connected the battery. Turned the generator on and gas started leaking. Took panels off and the gas line from tank to carburetor was torn almost in half next to the gas tank. Cut bad part out and reconnected. Can not get the 30amp to feed the shop as back up power. after hooking up to the panel and locking out main power and switching to generator with all breakers of it goes straight to overload.

Good Product

Would not crank at 1st. I checked spark plug & it was fine (must use included spark plug tool) then I opened the dran screw on bottom of carb to let fuel flow. After all the air bubbles came out it crank fine & has done fine since. Runs my camper just fine.

Great for travel trailer/RV use, met expectations

I bought this generator for my 35 foot travel trailer to run my appliances and air conditioner. With a full load of the trailer (everything on and running with a 13.5 KBTU air conditioner) the generator was running at a 75% load. Price point is excellent, you would have to spend twice as much for a Honda product with less afeatures. While running the air conditioning inside the trailer, I could not hear the generator and it was ten feet behind our trailer. Remote start is an,excellent feature but took three tries to start after sitting overnight. Prior to purchase I read several reviews and only 25 percent were negative, which helped me make my decision. After putting gas and oil in it straight out of the box it started right up. Overall pleased with product.

Easy setup and first run

Exactly what you'd expect, open the box put your fluids in and go on your way. Even though the manual doesn't state anything of a break in period, running through that now. Electric start is really nice to have for something like this, can keep it in the back of the truck and turn it on and off from the camper.

Great generator

Meets all of my needs. Handle makes moving it very easy. Very quiet. Wheels could be a little wider making it easier to move in soft soil or sand. The remote feature is WONDERFUL as I use it for my RV. The display provides a lot of useful information.

Super quiet and easy to start.

I purchased an iGen5000c the first of August. The set up was easy, but I recommend to only pour in about 2/3 of the supplied bottle of oil and check the level before adding more. When I pressed the start button, it fired up in just a couple of seconds. It is way quieter than my Honda lawnmower. I have it in my back yard just around a corner of the house about 20 feet away from the backdoor. I went into the house, and with the door open, I couldn't hear it over the TV. It easily powered my refrigerator, lights and TVs with plenty left over to still be able to run a microwave, toaster oven or even a small window AC unit.
