I just bought this after much research. It is very quiet and was able to run all power items in my camper, including AC at the same time. Even the microwave! Easy to setup and maintain and the slide out handle makes moving around very easy.
Got it 4 days after purchase and only had to use it for 3 hours but it worked just fine. Ran Freezer, Fridge, wi fi , tv and there was plenty left for lights and coffee maker
bought this igen4500 to replace an aging mge5800 backup generator that’s 20 years old and very noisy. After the recent and numerous Sonoma County fires, I needed a replacement generator that my wife could also operate with ease. The igen4500 gives the ease of starting with the remote start plus the telescoping handle allows my wife and I to move the igen4500 without hesitation. No longer will our ears have to suffer the noise that our reliable mge5800 made through our forced 6 day power shutdown by PG&E. We have the quietness and the needed power supply from igen4500 for any future needs. My wife was absolutely thrilled that she could operate the igen4500 by herself. Her smile said it all.
Ease of setting up and noise level compared to other generators was impressive.I haven't used for intended purposes as of yet but expect 9 plus rating.
Received this a few days ago, just fired it up for the first time. Worked out of the box after adding oil, gas, and connecting the quick connect battery connection. No problems at all. Love that it has a gas gauge, as well as tells you an estimate of how many hours are left based on the gas currently in the tank. Legal in California, However for some reason Amazon would not ship to my house, but Home Depot would. Same price online at both Amazon and Home Depot, $949 plus tax. Comes with everything you need to get it running, except for gas. Couple things to keep in mind: 1) Do not just dump the full 0.6 quart container of oil in, I found it only takes about 0.5 quarts. 2) Some of the directions incorrectly say you need to hook up the negative terminal of the battery, but that is not the case, you only need to connect the quick-connect battery connector. It's super easy to get running. I find it does run a little louder than I thought it would, but with this much power it's probably the best that can be done.
