This generator checked all the boxes for me including wireless starting, quiet, large fuel tank. Because of my extensive research I was well aware of the problem with the auto choke. Since I am capable of fixing it, I went ahead and bought it. Mine did have the problem with the disconnected auto choke wire as well as my connector was broke. After I fixed the connector the generator ran fine. I did the proper break in which includes installing a magnetic oil dipstick and running the generator under various loads drain oil and repeat. The pictures below show the metal particles that were collected by the magnetic dipstick during the break in. Look forward to many years of service.

Very nice, mobile, quiet, etc. Best amenities in a generator for the price point. Only problem is that the connector for the automatic choke was disconnected when it arrived (apparently a common problem). Notified customer service and received a service alert on how to correct, but then was unable to get one of the bolts out (also apparently a common issue, as I found a video online relatively quickly that showed a workaround). No reason for a product of this price to not have a better connector, especially when it looks to be a common issue. Those connectors can't be cost prohibitive to find a different supplier and switch out. If you don't mind having to open up and work on the generator you just purchased, then it's fine. If you do, then this isn't the generator for you. Aside from that, no issues.

This is a great generator for the money. However it was quite a bit louder than I had expected. According to the specs it shows around 51 dB. I borrowed a friends generator from a different company the specs showed 60 something decimals. When I ran them side-by-side this generator is quite a bit louder. Other than that the generator works flawlessly. The remote start works great. I am very pleased with this purchase.

I have been looking for months for a backup generator to cover home essential and more during an outage, with lowest DB noise level, for lowest possible price. This is the unit! Meets all my power, low noise level, dual fuel, and functionality needs, with a remote start bonus. Very happy with the unit.

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.

I searched this generator out for an RV camping trip with my family. I was concerned with the power needs for a 26' RV camper trailer and went with the iGen4500 based on recommendations from other avid RV campers. I was very impressed with the unit and its ability to power the entire unit for my family of 5, including the air conditioner all night, every night, and was very quiet. I would highly recommend this product for anyone looking for remote power for a larger RV camper.

Bought the gen off the internet site with open bis gens gen seams fine started on first pull. However the electric start and the flob do nothing, can see by the light in the power switch that it's got a problem so am now looking for a service center in the middle of north dakota

I bought this generator for our 30A service travel trailer. I wanted something quiet when we are boondocking. It is very quiet, especially when using the eco mode. It idles at a quiet purr. I really like the remote start which makes it very convenient to start/stop while still in the camper. I get approximately 15 hours of runtime with AC and other appliances running on and off. PROS: Quiet (Even at peak output) Watt Output Weight Digital Display Features Remote Start/Push Button Start/Pull Start Very fuel efficient (approximately 5 gallons of gas per weekend of camping) CONS: Oil fill location Oil drain plug location Air filter location

Note.. when received and first started the auto choke didn't work, after some research I found it had was disconnected.took apart a couple panels re plugged it fired right up. Put some liquid tape on the connection so it shouldn't happen.. other than that it runs my 15 k ac/ microwave ,electric furnace all at once. Sipping was prompt, arrived in good shape, happy so far. Changed oil after fifteen minutes break in, then 15 hrs later, oil was black. I'm thinking that's the limit for me, oil change piece of cake. Thx Mark

My son in law was the first to purchase after I researched this generator.We Elk hunt every year and we dry camp with our pull trailers. We used it for a full week without any issues.It was great on fuel and the remote start was a fantastic addition to our prior generator that we had to go out in the cold to start and stop.
