This is my 2nd one. Living in sub freezing locations, this remote start function is insane! Walking out into the snow and ice to start/stop the generator is a thing of the past
I would recommend this to a friend!

oil change door is very small and the bolt would not remove from the extension. The extension would unscrew from the motor, draining the oil in an incorrect spot making it very messy.

Great generator

Just bought this generator, plan on using this with our 30ft fifth wheel RV. Like all of the features. Started right up after adding oil and fuel out of the box. Arrived in perfect condition. The one draw back is the remote start. Says should work from 99 feet away. It won't work enless I'm standing with-in 15ft of the generator. I'm going to re-pair the remote to generator as directions in book say to do to see if that solves the problem.

Choke Access Sucks
on December 26, 2021
Posted by: easyabc123
Operating this generator requires choke adjusting.
Unfortunately, the choke is behind the side panel which requires removing five bolts. Phillips head bolts that will ware over time.
So, poor design in this regards.
So, poor design in this regards.
The choke should be assessable without removing the side panel.
Also, the remote on/off FOB is simpley a marketing bell with no whistle.
When the generator is remotely shut down. You will still need to go to the generator and manually shut off the battery so you don’t waste battery power.
And, you will need to close the gasoline valve so the engine does not flood.
Other than those design flaws, the generator works well, as hoped, for the moment.
Stay tuned.

Been working great so far on the fish house, buddies have other gennys that run like garbage, and always need to fiddle with them. This iGen4500 has been flawless thus far. Happy camper!

Ease of use

I am a 64-year-old lady, single, camping enthusiast, and I have no problem using this generator or moving it from my garage to my truck bed. It runs everything in my travel trailer, even the AC, while using the microwave. It's very quiet and I thoroughly enjoy it.
