I just purchased the I gen-4500 after extensive searching for a generator for my older trailer. I had a generator that was a gift from my son. Even with 3300 starting watts, it would not run the AC by itself at all, and struggled with just the microwave if it was powering the fridge. And the noise of the motor straining was loud even being enclosed! Enough about the old!!!!!!! The I gen-4500 is exactly what I needed!!! Runs my AC, the fridge, and the microwave, all at the same time, with low low engine speed and sound. I went for power, and sound but it has so many extra features, a 30 amp plug, remote starting, slide out handle tucked away on the bottom, well balanced and smaller size, makes it easier to lift. A little heavier, but with good placement of handles, I feel very confident lifting in restricted areas. Easy initial instructions and setup, 2 pull start up and with no choke, very nice and quiet. I definitely recommend to give this baby a good look. Can't have enough power and with this size, you can't go wrong.

Amazed at how quiet and easy it is to use. The push button start is perfect, you do have to leave the battery switch on but as long as your battery is charge that is not a problem at all. The Eco mode is scary quiet. I though it would be to heavy for one person to lift andI would say its not really that bad really, heavy yes but not that bad. Over all I have been very happy only time will truly tell but so far so good.

I bought this in July, prior I had a Honda IE2000 with whisper quiet mode. When our camper got bigger so did our power needs but we didn't want anything really loud. After buying this I'm beyond impressed the quality is great, easy to lift and move with the wheels as well as the remote on off. But most importantly it's QUITER then the Honda was with more then double the power.

We purchased this generator as a dual purpose unit. When we travel with our travel trailer and if we lose power at home. It's perfect for our needs and will run EVERYTHING in the RV and every essential item in the house. Upon arrival, setup could not have been easier. Read the instructions, filled with oil and fuel, connected the battery and started it up. Incredibly easy and very quiet. My wife and I were able to have a normal conversation with the generator running within 20ft. A little disappointed with what appears to be rust around the gas tank opening. Brand new unit and rusty around the fuel? Not comforting. The only thing we could hope for would be a lighter unit. at 98lbs it's heavy, although easily managed with two people lifting it into my truck. It can be done solo, but having a friend is much easier. So far, we love the generator and would definitely buy it again.

I bought this for our 35' 5th Wheel after struggling with two smaller units in parallel. After a long and tedious Break In period, we have run it ~350 hrs. over the past summer in sweltering heat at times -- over 100F. We run it non stop boondocking for three or four days at a time and have had ZERO Problems with it. The run time is very good, not great when running the AC continuously, but that's what you get in a compact unit. In our RV, we are running the AC, Fridge, Hot Water Heater, Ceiling Fan, Coffee Pot, Microwave, two Satellite receivers with 32" TV's, Device Chargers and the occasional Hair Drier and the coach battery charger. Never all at once, but I don't have to do much "Power Management" and use common sense. However, on a hot day, pulling ~30Amps continuously for hours is not uncommon. I installed a "Soft Start" on the AC. Best investment next to the IGen4500. Makes life easy on everything. Also, a GOOD Break In and load test is really important - to me anyway. The first start up with factory oil was on and off every 30-minutes for a couple of hours allowing it to completely cool off. Then the same with a half load or so with with an electric heater turning the heater on and off every 15-minutes or so. Then an oil change at about 5-6 hours. Then a load of Full Synthetic Mobil Delvac-1 5W-40 Engine Oil. Repeating the same procedure, although going up to full load with two electric heaters, again varying the load between zero, half and full load+ with full cool downs for another 5-6 hours, then another oil change with synthetic. Then I ran it about another ten hours with several cool down / start ups cycles with varying loads of zero up to the maximum output of 4k+ -- for several minutes at a time. After about 20 hours or so, I changed the oil one last time before we hit the road with it. I have been changing the oil at about 100hr intervals since. Zero oil consumption and it comes out pretty clean. Our last trip we ran it non-stop for over 70hrs. After ~350hrs on it, I am pretty happy. It has been the least of my worries traveling.

I just picked up the unit yesterday and inspected the box and the unit at the store for any damage. Once home I meticulously followed the setup / start up instruction. After filling with gas, it started after one or two revolutions of the engine. That was pretty amazing. Today I will do a break in run with a small load on and off for an hour or so and then change the oil to synthetic. With luck it will be a good unit replacing two Smaller competitors units that I could never get to reliably parallel. This unit is heavy, but will be a lot less hassle when it comes down to running AC, Microwave, Coffee Pot, etc in the RV and have a run time that will go through the night without refueling.

I bought this generator as a suggestion from a fried that has one. Best selection ever, I can start it myself(short woman) in 3 seconds, light weight, easy to turn on and off from inside the trailer. Very efficient, runs several hours with a full gas.

I bought this to replace a 5250 watt gen that work great just to loud .. It started right up and is very quiet. I own a pair of honda 2000i and this generator is almost as quiet .. will see how reliable it is as time goes on .. so far so good .. A+

Delivered on time and in excellent condition. Had it out of the box went to the quick start guide and added the oil and fuel. Used the remote start. Started on the second try. I let the engine warm up for 5 mins. and plugged in my 30amp cord to my travel trailer. Tested the a/c, frig. and lights. Just returned from a 2 day trip and no problems running the generator. Only used one tank of gas for the 2 days in the Keys. Great price!

I bought a few weeks ago. Added oil, gas, connected battery and it started right up. Push button start and remote works great. Let run for two hours and changed oil. Location of oil drain bolt could use a little redesign maybe reroute that wire in front of the drain plug. Some oil stays on the plastic bottom . Louder than thought it would be but quiet. Runs single unit AC , refrigerator and microwave on RV with no issues. So if it lasts that's all I want.
