The iGen4500 was delivered on June 9th and was only used a couple of times and has already stopped working. The unit cranks but does not start. I've read a few reviews about a bad choke system but the choke does seem to be working. I am also disappointed that the unit was manufactured in early 2019.
Pleasantly surprised at the quality, for a relatively inexpensive generator with such high output. Started quickly and ran flawlessly. Haven't powered it to anything yet, but I am sure it will handle the load fine.
I researched heavily before purchasing, and I believe this generator is the best option for RV owners who want to be able to run their AC and still have power left to run other items in their trailer. It's quiet, has great power output, long runtime without using much fuel. The remote start is awesome, I plan to use it so I can have power without getting out of my camper.
After being on back order for much of the summer 2020, as soon as we received the email that it was again available, we ordered immediately. It was on our doorstep 2 business days later. Unpacked easy, simple start up instructions, and started on first push. Been running a couple of hours to break it in, drawing various items. All's looking good.
Bought for use with our toy hauler RV w/ 15k AC, and also as home backup (have 7 fridges/freezers).
