I purchase this a few weeks ago for RV. Only issue I had was starting it, it want to flood and gas was pouring out from underneath, I think the electric choke was stuck or it was not firing, took the side cover off and press the spark plug wire down and then it started right up.

I bought this recently, I have a small Quiet Honda inverter/generator but needed a bit more oomph. This iGen4500 fit the bill to a T and the remote on/off and auto choke is something I couldn’t find in similar quiet inverter/generator. I like that it also comes with a set of tools along with an oil funnel. Also nice and quiet, thanks for the great features!

The unit came in a sturdy box and Styrofoam, everything was there that was needed to get started. Completed the minor assembly, Gave it some time to break-in using a electric smoker that would very the power for 10 hrs. Starts quickly and has performed like it suppose to. Oil change is not the easiest but the funnel does its Job.

1st impressions are this is over all a nice generator yet heavy. The plastic does have some scuff and scratches on it and the fit and finish seems a little off. I was surprised to see that the one I got has a life time run hours meter on it. The generator started right up the 1st time and runs very quietly I really like the telescoping handle in order to maneuver he had around. I was somewhat disappointed that the power meter shows the wattage in kilowatts amd fuel in liters. What is the purpose of the remote start if I still have to go to the unit and flip the battery off and on?

I bought my generator just in case of an extended power outage due to any sever weather, like hurricane Sally in 2020 which hit close by. I just want to be able to run our standing freezer, lights, a standing fan & a couple of light electronic units. I have tested it by running the freezer & a table lamp for about 5 minutes and didn't see any issue! Overall I am very happy.

PURCHASED THIS LAST YEAR, HOWEVER, DUE TO LOCKDOWNS CAMPING WAS PUT OFF UNTIL THIS YEAR. OPENED THE BOX THIS YEAR FILLED WITH OIL AND GAS... FIRST PULL AND IT STARTED. AFTER LETTING IT RUN FOR AN HOUR WITH NO LOAD, I POWERED IT UP AGAIN AND PLUGGED IN OUR 30/50 AMP CAMPER/TRAILER. NOW FOR THE TEST. I TURNED ON THE MAIN AIR CONDITIONER AND YOU COULD HEAR THE GENERATOR NOW UNDER A LOAD. THEN TURNED ON THE REFRIGERATOR.THE GENERATOR POWERED BOTH ESSENTIALS WITH NO PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THE GAUGE ON THE IGEN4500 IT WAS SHOWING 25% USAGE. THE NEXT TEST WAS HAVING THE WIFE COME OUT AND CHECK THE NOISE LEVEL. WITH THE GENERATOR ONLY 4 FEET FROM THE CAMPER AND THE BEDROOM LOCATION BEING RIGHT THERE THE NOISE WAS TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE FOR MY WIFE. THE NOISE WAS FINE WHILE IN THE CAMPER LIVING AREA, YOU COULD HEAR IT BUT IT WAS REALLY NOT NOTICABLE WHILE HAVING A CONVERSATION. IF THE GENERATOR WAS PLACED TOWARD THE REAR THE NOISE LEVEL, I'M SURE, WOULD BE EVEN LOWER. AFTER RUNNING THE IGEN4500 FOR OVER AN HOUR THE TRAILER WAS VERY COMFORTABLE AND THE REFRIGERATOR WAS WORKING FINE AND CHILLED. REALLY THE ONLY OTHER ITEM{S} THAT MIGHT BE USED WOULD BE SMALL ELECTRONICS. ACCORDING TO THE FRONT OF THE IGEN4500 THERE WAS MORE POWER AVAILABLE. AFTER ALOT OF RESEACH PRIOR TO MY PURCHSE, I AM SO PLEASED WITH THE IGEN4500. I WILL UPDATE MY REVIEW AFTER OUR SUMMER TRIPS AND WE PUT IT THROUGH THE ACTUAL CAMPING EXPERIENCE.

I am using this generator as backup power for the home. No hurricanes this year but I have had two days without power due to construction to test it out. I have been able to run a 13K BTU portable air conditioner, refrigerator, computer, and wifi/ networking equipment. The unit started with the battery very easily. My wife had difficulty with the pull start but was able to get the generator started with that method as well. The guages are very easy to read. I would like for it to have some measure of total running time to easier schedule maintenance.

I just recently purchased my 2nd iGen4500. The first one was for my pull behind camper. It was very quiet, easy to start and ran all night running my AC on 3/4 of tank of gas. I sold my Camper and the buyer purchased the generator with it. So I just purchased a replacement for my new RV.

Very well designed - Compact, Bullet proof case. Excellent connection features. Fast effortless start. Quiet. I keep mine on the back deck. Only complaint is that the bracket for the telescoping handle (for easy wheeling) gets in the way of trying to drag it up stairs single handedly. My IGen wintered on the back deck under a waterproof cover in Minnesota and didn't complain.

Bought this for the house as I had to borrow one when the hurricane came through. I love the electric start but the dual fuel is more useful plus it starts so easy my 65 year old mom could do it. I bought 3 total and could not be more happy with my purchases.
