Great features, Powers RV with no problems

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.

Short lifespan

I bought this in may of 2023 to use with our camper. Last trip it suddenly shut off. Checked fuel, has fuel, air filter clean, changed spark plug, it cranks over but won’t fire up. Trying to go through warranty process now so who knows how long this will take.

We will see

I bought a second i gen 4500 to hook up for parallel power to get 50 amp. I still have to stage turning on 2 ac units despite the 50 amp paralleled power. It runs a bit rougher than the first one. Trips the breaker evey once in a while. I will take it to the service center and see what happens. The biggest issue is having to change the oil every 50 hours. That is not convenient to do while camping. The access panel needs to be bigger to allow for an easier change of oil.

Generator is well built

Generator is well built and appears to be sturdy enough for intended RV use. Directions for use are simple and should allow for easy operation. Looking forward to using it on trips where normal RV hook-ups are not available. It appears it will be able to power all of our necessary devices without any strain on it or us.

Great for camping

We bought this and in the matter of a week took it to a primative horse camp. For May camping we were not expecting to be needing the heat in our trailer so we got to really test this thing out. It ran all of our light, water, my instapot, and our furnace with zero issues! It never even had to rev up when we had everything running at once. The key fob was fabulous, no need to run outside to start and stop the generator for the "quiet hours" at camp. We were also surprised with how quiet it was! For the money this thing is more than comparable to some of the other high end brands that cost 2-3 times as much.

Lot's of power & quiet

Very happy with this generator! Bought it to replace a larger, much louder generator and I love it! It is extremely quiet even when running our AC unit in the RV. Also love the electric start/stop and the digital readout, neither of which the older unit had. The gas cap is also well designed and it's easier to fill. Pull-out handle also works well. Great generator!

Great value, very quiet and overall excellent

I just purchased this IGEN4500 and wanted something that would handle our new trailer while also being portable, light and had all the extra luxurious items I wanted. This had it all, remote start and stop, super quiet, powerful and plenty of outlets while also having a great fuel capacity. Started right up on the first start and so far no issues. Taking it on our first trip this weekend and looking forward to our dry camping.

Will not start but it looks great!

The machine will not start when it is cold. There is an electric choke that does not work on these models. your odds are 50/50 that you get a model that has this problem. I am going to start the process Monday. I will let you know how the customer service process is in future reviews.

LOVE IT

I just bought this gen now my wife can start it with outgoing outside when we take off early to go hunting or fishing, she stays around camp and relaxes A bit heavier than my other one if we fill it at home but with a 3gal tank never half to worry about it running out of fuel

Great Value

I bought this last month and took it out immediately on a trip, It did everything I expected perfectly. It got great fuel economy, was very quiet (especially for its size), was very user friendly, it had plenty of power to run all accessories on my travel trailer. Having the key Fob to remote start and shut off is an extremely convenient feature, I found myself only using that to cycle it on and off. Only con is that it Is very heavy, especially when it's full of fuel. It's definitely a two-person lift to get it into a truck, But it has a nice retractable handle and wheels to move it easily when it's on the ground. Totally expected with a unit of this size.
