We had problems starting the generator even though we had read the instructions. It stated oil and gas wasn't in the generator. However oil was and we got too much oil in it and had to take some out. In the package there was a container of oil which was not full. In fact the whole box was oily and so was the generator. Had to wipe everything down. Finally after couple of days we finally got it started and took it camping. 1st night it ran great and enough wattage to run AC, all lights on and microwave going. 2nd night had a problem having generator turn on and had to deal with the choke and got it running. After getting home no problem turning the generator on.
I just received my new iGen4500. Read the manual, filled it with oil and fuel, hooked up the battery and it immediately fired up using the remote control. I couldn't be happier. Generator came very well protected and there was no damage in transit. Operation manual is clear and easy to understand. My primary use will be to power my travel trailer while it is in the woods at my hunting camp. The generator is almost quiet enough to be unnoticeable. I really like the digital information display. It shows the amount of fuel left, the run time left as well as the voltage and the running time. A very sweet machine.
I purchased this unit to power my motorhome while away from shore power and it works great. The best points are: it is powerful, the remote start and handle make it extremely user friendly
