Easy and powerful while still being quiet

from Western PA
I waited a few months to review because writing a review based upon unboxing is pretty useless. I am still very happy with the purchase. Runs great, starts easily (especially when I just push the button on the remote). Produces lots of power
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellence 30A rv generator
on December 16, 2022
Posted by: Outinthesticks
from North East, Pa.
Bought this for my Cougar 5th Wheel. We do a lot of dry camping, and my older generator was a little louder than i would like. Always felt it might be an annoyance to other campers. The iGen4500c is just a soft purr when running. I can hardly notice it running, while inside the RV. Haven't been able to run the AC unit yet as it's too cold to get the compressor to cycle. Running the AC fan, microwave, and DC converter at the same time didn't seem to elevate the noise level that much.
There is one aspect of the remote start that I will have to test come camping season. The "Battery ON" switch, that has an indicator light lit in the on position, has to be "on" to allow the remote start function. So, my concern is, will this draw enough of the start battery power over night to compromise the next remote start? Hopefully it's an LED indicator and the draw is minimal.
The engine oil service looks like it could be a little messy, as the drain allows the oil to collect in the plastic bottom cover. Some rags or shop towels are a must for that operation. Putting the oil in, prior to start-up, I parked the unit over a scrap piece of plywood anticipating some "drippage", but none was found.
An awesome plus is the Data panel, as i was planning on adding that feature to my old generator!
Overall it seems to be a nice unit and I am looking forward to next years camping season with it.

Just purchased a short time ago but am already impressed with how quiet this unit is. Love the remote start. Will be great for RVing which we do quite often.

Just what I was looking for!

I bought this 2 weeks ago after a 24-hour power outage. It will supply us enough power to stay warm and keep our refrig running for as long as we need, and is quiet enough to not bother the neighbors. I like the remote start/stop, and built-in handle to move it. If it lasts I will be immensely satisfied!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this unit for a back up on the farm. It has come in handy for power outages.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
