iGen 4500 runs everything in a travel trailer and one 15K AC

This is my second iGen 4500. The first had multiple problems, the start/stop button did not work which meant the electric start and remote start did not work, lastly the engine would not start with the pull cord. After all that why would I get a second one? Well I found a lot I like with the first one cleanable/reusable foam air filter, dip stick had oil on it so I know it had been run at the factory, its compact size, fuel, time to empty, and amp gauge, and eventually once I got it started its quietness I was able to not starting with the pull cord after cleaning the spark plug and removing a several large chunks of carbon from the spark arrester, that's when I discovered not only did the start button not work but also the stop button, I was able to kill the engine by turning off the fuel, another feature I like. Although I disassembled the main control panel looking for a loose wire causing all the other problems, I never found a loose or not attached wire, which is why I returned it and promptly ordered another one. The second one came in and worked like a champ. After letting it break it with several small and medium loads for two hours (Which the manual does not say needs to be done) I hooked it up to my dual AC 50amp trailer. It worked excellent. If it is running with less than 1000watts load it is very very quiet. A 20" box fan makes more noise than the iGen. Two people could stand next to the iGen and carry on a conversation without raising their voices. Very impressive. Now once you give it a serious load it does make a little more noise as expected. Next while the iGen had nearly 2000watts of load on it (hot water heater, battery charger and idle state on the tv, microwave etc., I started the 15000 BTU AC unit and the iGen handled it fine in 93 degree weather, after five minutes I tried the second AC unit and the iGen overload kicked in (as I expected but I had to try) Although my experience started out very poorly I am very pleased with my working iG

Great quality generator

I recently purchased the IGen5000Fcv inverter generator. This generator kept our critical systems going during a two day power outage due to Tropical storm Debby here in south Georgia. The generator ran flawlessly. I like the option of dual fuel and the inverter is a really nice addition. Very happy with this purchase and am confident it will last a long time.

Purchase, Shipping, Performance

I was concerned making this purchase and having it shipped to my front door. I was surprised to find the packing in perfect shape and no damage found. After opening and reading the owners manual front to back I found it very well written and helpful. It took me some time, with my big hands to install the battery in the "small compartment " but not so difficult. I was very surprised at how quiet it was and so much power to run my 5th wheel home. I am very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend this product to other campers.

Quiet

I bought this generator to run our horse trailer when we go to my sons rodeos. It’s super quiet and easy to haul in our trailer. I bought it thinking it would be easy for my wife and son could unload it and use if there was ever a time I couldn’t be there. This generator meets all my expectations!!!

Great All around iGen5000C Generator

I have Big Camper that’s 50amp. When downsizing my camping trips I recently bought a tent. Needed a quiet generator for our National Forest, but also this model is quiet (52db) enough, but you can parallel another compatible generator and still run my large 50 amp camper. The iGen5000C Is quite enough to run with my small tenting needs but also my Big camper. When I’m out away from camping or tenting, the remote control comes in handy for my wife to run when I’m not there. Also, the computer display comes in handy when it’s about getting dark and whatever load that you put on at that particular time, it will tell you the range running time for that amount of gas and load you have! The display also shows our meter for servicing, and the left side has a bar graph of level of gas. She was in the house a few minutes ago. Wife and I are Happier Campers :)

VALUE

I just purchased this generator and am very pleased with it so far. Build quality is good, everything was easy to set up with no hiccups, and it is also quiet. My only gripe is that the plastic is sharp in a few places especially at the battery access. The starting fob is convenient and was a main reason for me to purchase this over other machines. If my opinion changes, I will be sure to update this review.

What? A Quiet Generator????!!!!

Works great! We are so pleased. We went to a family camping reunion. We go every year to OR and we are always roasting due to the extreme heat! Whew! Well, this July we did our due diligence and went over the reviews and watched YouTube videos re this product. The reviews were overwhelming positive so we went for it. We actually wanted the dual fuel! but couldn’t find one anywhere! We knew that that would have benefited our purpose much better. But the quiet?? Amazing. We were the envy of all the other campers! Ha.

Quiet, plenty of power

I bought this a month ago and used it camping last weekend with our travel trailer. It worked great! Some of the things I loved: stored lots of gas, runs long (8+ hours), trailer AC with fridge only used 50% of the available power, I really like the remaining time counter.

quailty built generator.

very pleased with my iGen4500 purchase. easy to add the oil and start right out of the box. I read a lot of reviews which stated this model has automatic choke issues, well either I got lucky or they fixed the problem because mine works fine. haven't owned it for long so my review is limited to just a few tests but very happy with it so far. looking forward to camping season.

Has the power. Very quiet. A little shy in the c

I bought 2 of these several months back to power a 40' 5th wheel camper. They are reasonably quiet and provide plenty of power. I am pleased with them and would recommend them. The only con seems to be they are evidently a little sensitive to the cold. After sitting for a while, I went to start them for an impending snow/ice storm coming through my area and they would not start. Pulled them out in the sun to warm up and they started after a few tries. Should have been easy with a priming bulb but there does not seem to be one.
