WAS A REAL LIFESAVER

This review is actually for the igen2500 camo version. We purchased it the week Hurricane Florence hit and boy was it a lifesaver. We ran our lights, 1 ceiling fan, 2 box fans, a full size refrigerator, 60" tv, a 32" tv, two xbox one's and our modem and wireless router, and she purred like a kitten and sipped the gasoline. We ran it for 3 days non stop on about 7 gallons of gasoline. I also have a generac 5500 watt and this one is soooooo much quieter compared to that one. I always wanted one of the small Hondas but this one is just as quiet and works just as good for a fraction of the price. I'm actually thinking about purchasing another one to parallel them together for extra wattage. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Great design

This would get 5 stars if it wasn't for the choke not being plugged into the control board as the unit would not start after following the start up to a T. I went on You Tube and found that these units are being shipped out without the choke being connected, I opened up the unit and plugged it in and it started on the next attempt. I hope this isn't an indication of things to come. It surprisingly quiet

Best Value

Just purchased a week ago, but in setting up and first start, I'm impressed. Started right up and was more quite than expected. I plugged in a 1400 watt electric heater, and the generator did not even hesitate. Love the pull out handle. Just a great generator with so many useful features.

Super quiet, Remote start is heaven!

I uncrated the generator, read the instructions, filled it with oil and gas, hit the button and it started right up. I was amazed at the low noise level. I loaded it in the back of my Honda SxS and went to work with saws, fans,etc. I bought this unit after hours of research to run my two AC units on our camper for remote camping. It preformed flawlessly with both units running. I cannot stress how happy I am with the overall design and the quietness. Great machine I would recommend to anyone. Remote start/stop is the only way to go. Keeps you out of the weather.

Excellent Generator

I recently purchased the iGen4500 and so far am very pleased with it. It is loaded with features, easy to start, quiet and compact. My only suggestion for improvement so far would be to make the oil fill a bit easier to access. The unit did come with a screw-in funnel tube that makes the job of adding oil easier.

Great features

I’m very pleased with the product. It didn’t take long to set up and I had it running in no time. The remote start and push button feature are very convenient and allow accessibility from inside the trailer. Overall, I am more than pleased with the product and would recommend it to anyone trying to find a great generator for your trailer.

My Westinghouse inverter delivered on time!

I bought a inverter online and needed it delivered no later than today. When I bought the inverter - i was worried that due to its size, delivery would take longer. This morning at 7:30 am my deliver was made and the deliver drivers put it exactly where I needed it to bel Thank you!

Great Unit - Love it

I purchased this unit in March 2024. We do a lot of outdoor activities, and it has more than lived up to my expectations. It has plenty of power to run all of our needs and is actually great on gas. Our most recent use, it ran 8+ hours for two days straight and I didn't refuel. I would definitely purchase again.

so far, so good

Just arrived, survived shipping intact and appears ready to go. Instruction seems clear, will add gas/oil in the next few days and buy properly sized extension cords before giving it a test run. Was looking for a quality mid-range sized generator to run sump pump and refrigerator/freezer during next power outage...I think this one will get it done without worrying about being undersized.

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
