I bought this generator to use with my camper. The first time i used it was great. This time it ran real rough until a load was put on it. Then it would smooth out but as soon as the load cut off it would tart loping again.
Needed an inverter generator for our RV. Many friends and family had their own recommendations based on their experiences. Began researching and found the iGen4500. Liked the specs and 3 year warranty so purchased.
First use was on concrete in front of a steel building and it seemed rather loud. Second use was in a camping environment with family and friends after it's first oil change. If it was any louder than any of the others you probably would have to measure electronically.
As for the best feature, in my opinion, the remote start fob FANTASTIC. We were sleeping with the generator off because we didn't need it to power anything. My wife woke up before I did to get coffee going, picked up the fob, started the generator then coffee. That is a whole lot better then, "will you get up. go outside and start the generator so I can make coffee."
I purchased to use with my camper and I use it for almost everything needing power outside. Quiet with nice features and not as heavy as I thought. Maybe 100lbs. Easy to move around with its telescoping handle.
Works great! We are so pleased. We went to a family camping reunion. We go every year to OR and we are always roasting due to the extreme heat! Whew! Well, this July we did our due diligence and went over the reviews and watched YouTube videos re this product. The reviews were overwhelming positive so we went for it. We actually wanted the dual fuel! but couldn’t find one anywhere! We knew that that would have benefited our purpose much better. But the quiet?? Amazing. We were the envy of all the other campers! Ha.
