Nice generator, unbelievably quiet!

Bought this generator for our rv, happy with it right out of the box. Can not believe how quiet this unit runs. Be careful when initially filling the oil, as there is some residual oil from factory, it is easy to overfill.
I love this generator. It's super quiet and the remote start is a bonus. I did pull start it to just see how easy or hard that would be and it started on the first pull. I'm a 65 year old woman so starting on the first pull was a surprise.
I really like the battery start and the remote start features. Very portable with the wheels and the retractable handle. Haven’t had to use it yet but I like it for ease of mind.
iGen500c was delivered a week ago. Setup was reasonably straightforward. I suggest you look at one of the 'unboxing and starting' videos on you tube before you start. That makes it quite easy to do. Started on second pull of the cord. A few minutes, then shut it down. Then tested both the push button and remote electric starts. Both worked very well. Ran it for about 45 minutes with different loads (within the 50% limit during break-in) and it responded well on adding them and adding power.
Finally did a decibel level check at 5 locations, where I had taken numbers for on my old generator the previous week. Excellent results, it ran a minimum of 25% quieter than the old Generac, and the sound is a very tolerable low hum rather than a roaring beast.!!
Will be running it once a week to get through the break-in and first oil change
