Everything I Want

With Hurricane Dorian coming, I am so glad I bought this generator. Quiet, reliable. Even though heavy, easy to move with the wheels and handle. Good for electronics. Use for refrigerator, freezer, lights, fans, LCD TV, DVR, computer, and (maybe someday) AC window unit. This generator is exactly what I was looking for.

Awesome!

Have had this gen since 06-15-18 have taken it on several camping trips with my fifth wheel and absolutely no issues at all. Purchased a cargo carrier and matching bag to protect the gen while on the road and LOVE IT! Also would recommend a gen tent for protection in inclement weather. Have had it to Yellow Stone and my mountain property in Montana (where the wind can be quite high) and no issues whatsoever. Highly recommend to follow the break in directions, used the oil provided for initial break in then I use full synthetic. My RV dealer was very impressed took many pictures and couldn't believe the sound level (or the lack of) he now has one on display. Couldn't be happier!

So far not impressed

Opening the box, there was oil spilled on the unit, and the battery was not secured and upside down in the compartment. The unit started on second pull and is very quiet. On off button seems intermittent or there is a delay in start up and shutdown. Manual does not mention a delay

Awesome Generator

I bought this generator for my mini donut trailer about a month ago and it’s been wonderful. I’ve had several vendors come up and ask how I liked it and that it was much more quieter than other brands. Electric start is quick and remote start is nice for easy setup. The 3 gallon tank is nice at long events so that you don’t have to refill during.

Great features

I got this yesterday filled it with gas and oil hooked up the battery and it started up with in two pulls.Then tried the electric start fired right up. Then tried the key fab and again fired right up. no leaks. I gave it four stars because i have to order the higher elevation kit for the carb.

Excellent generator

Haven't use it for camping yet.I only run it for few hours to test it. Was able to deliver the power I need,charged the batteries without problem.Run my AC,TV and other eletronics with no problem( drawing about 2200watts).Easy to start with the push button or with the remote control.It's difinitely heavy, needs two person when lifting,the good thing it has wheels and handle that can extend to pull the generator easily( i would say on even and pave surface, a little bit hard on grass or unpave area).The noise level I'd say moderate,you can hear each other in a normal converstion even standing 3 feet from the generator.So, overall, excellent quality, excellent build and design.Not as expensive compared to other brand with same power rating,or has more power compared to with similar price brand. I highly recommend this for those looking for a generator with up to 3kw needs.

Wow!

I upgraded from a Honda 2000 that I didn't use all that much since I got a lot of power from my solar panel and inverter. BUT I am full time and love to boondock and now I can use my AC in the summer.....yay!! I have tested it with the AC on, Fridge on and microwave on....no problem!!!

Perfect Choice

I researched hours for what I hoped would be the perfect generator. I have a "whole house", 11K generator, but store sold me on whole house when in fact I would have needed another 6-10K. So last year during Irma, the whole house decided to konk out and left me with no power. I borrowed a 3700 and ran 2 refrigerators, freezer, computers, tv & fans. It saved me as power was out exactly 6 days. So I settle on the iGen 4500 because of features and price and I can see I didn't make a mistake. I'll get to the cons but the pros: easy start and far quieter than I imagined. Had to keep going outside during test run just to make sure it was running. Love all the information on the digital screen and didn't even cough when I put a load on it. Seems to be frugal with the fuel use. The cons: First off the panels, all of which had to come off in order to access important pieces. The back for the battery, wire to connect battery was tucked so far under the unit you couldn't see it thru the access panel. They recommend draining fuel from the carb bowel after use but you have to take the five screws out of the side panel to access the unit. Why not use butterfly screws/bolts to make this process so much easier. On to oil access. You can see it but if your hands are big getting to the dip stick and getting it off and rethreaded takes some doing. Those are all minor details the company should be looking at and wouldn't deter me from buying this unit again. I don't want to have to use it but wow, what a great piece of mind I just bought. Had two other brands picked out but am sure this is the right one. With continued use maybe I'll update down the road.

great features remote and dual fuel

running fine -- no problems -- starts every time -- running on propane so far -- keeps everything clean --could be a little easier to get to some of the parts -- but i guess thats what keeps the sound down -- like it better than the Honda -- waiting to see how long it last
