Exceeded my expectations

Bought this inverter generator for my 30 amp TT and oh man let me tell you I was surprised. First off after unboxing it and got it ready with oul and gas it started right up with the remote start, push start and pull start. Then after it was running I plugged my TT into it and went inside started turning everything on that would possibly run on shore power. As I was sitting inside my TT I couldn't even hear it running compared to my other generator. So now when I go dry camping I dont have to listen to my loud generator. Very pleased with my purchase of the product and a great investment.

Great Alternative to Predator or Honda gensets

Purchased to tie into house panel via transfer switch. Unit arrived well packed, followed quick start procedures and had it up and running within minutes. Significantly quieter than I expected, even under full load. Very happy with the purchase and may purchase another to run in parallel.

Love the idea of three choices to start generator

The idea of being able to start this generator three different ways is absolutely the best idea I can imagine. Not only does it provide more then sufficient power for my needs during a power outage but maneuverability is of the utmost ease. The fact that it is capable of running for up to eighteen hours on one tank full is also a major plus for for me. I haven't used the included battery charger yet but it is a welcome idea that may come in hand in future use, All in all I rate this IGEN4500 generator eleven out of ten.

Love the Remote Start!

Bought this generator because it was rated low noise but it is a lot louder than we expected. The digital display is so confusing because it doesn't correspond with the key. (Example - there is no V for voltage) All in all it seems to be a great purchase.

Very Happy

Just purchased the unit because of several features that stood out. One of the lowest decibel ratings, large fuel tank and remote start were the main deciding factors. It fired right up after I connected the battery and filled it with gas. So far I'm impressed.

Great Features, Ease of Use, Great Design

I bought this product about three months ago after doing extensive research and reading many reviews. With the threat of snow storms in our region, I finally decided to open box and fire up the generator for the first time. I was pleasantly amazed how easy it was to get it started. The instruction is simple and easy to follow. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the battery cables, negative and positive, are already attached to battery (not what I initially expected). All I had to do was attached the battery cable bundle into the cable attached to the generator via a quick-connect attachment. Oil fill up via plastic downspout provided is a breeze. I like that the downspout actually screws in for added stability and seal while pouring the oil to prevent oil spillage altogether. Fuel fill up is even easier. The start sequence is so simple. The generator started within two seconds of pushing the start button. I am impressed with the low engine noise. So far I am satisfied with my purchase. I know I have yet to put the generator to the test with multiple loads over a period of few hours but I'm quite optimistic that it will deliver as expected. I am also excited about the remote start/stop feature. I know my wife is excited about that feature also.

Ready to Rock 'N Roll!

Delivery was fast and careful!! Crated for safe shipping! Includes everything one needs to fire it up (except the gasoline, of course). Clear and straightforward instructions - we are currently having our electrician install our transfer switch. Easy to move around, easy to read controls. Push button start is totally great!! We've had a few outages so far this year, and we are now ready for the next one!!

QUIET

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.

Very Convenient Power

I bought a iGen4500 for my camper. Very convenient remote control!! Just turn off 110 volt main breaker, push the start button, wait a few minutes & turn the main breaker back on. That simple. Same for turning off. Turn off breaker & let the inverter cool off for a few minutes, then push the off button on the remote. All from inside the camper. Plenty of power to run everything. May not be enough for a 2 AC unit camper but very capable for my needs.

Bad start but great generator

I bought this generator after doing quite a bit of research. I wanted a generator that was as quiet as possible while running my rv air conditioner. When I received it, I followed the quickstart guide but could not get it started. After doing some research I found a service bulletin describing the issue and instructing to make sure a connector for the choke is connected. Mine had not been plugged in. After plugging it in the generator starts and runs like a dream. It is very quiet and looks great too. Overall I am happy with my purchase.
