Solid Generator
on November 23, 2021
Posted by: Tick
from Newfoundland, Canada
I have owned this generator for just over a month now, while not a lot of use yet time wise, I have been putting it through it's paces over the last 4 weekends, and its been flawless! The generator will be used to power my cottage that is off the grid, so it will be used on a weekly basis. This generator will be replacing my old unit of 8 years that still runs great, but I was seeking something with remote start, quieter operation, and better fuel economy. And so far the iGen4500 has exceeded my expectations. Whisper quiet, 18 + hours on a tank of fuel running in eco mode, and my favorite option, remote start which I love! No more having to run to the generator shed to start the generator at lunch time, or going back out at night to shut it off at the end of the day. The remote works flawless at about 100' from inside my cottage, to inside my generator shed where it sits. This a high end generator, with great fit and finish, and is on par with some of the higher end generators on the market.

So far we have used it 3 long weekends and other than doing oil changes hasn't had a problem except the auto choke not working on first start up and had to take side panel off to manually run the choke. One perk was it does have a built in hour meter which in the book said it doesn't.

Good

The only issue I have is the oil fill. Why would you send a container of oil that is about 5% more than what the unit will hold. Guaranteed to OVER FILL!
Wasn't a fun start.
