I bought this generator last month to power my truck camper and to use for emergency back-up power in my home. So far, it meets expectations. I would rate it 5 stars if I'd had it longer and could comment on the durability.
I needed a generator that was an inverter, quiet, and had the power to run my AC and converter unit in my Travel Trailer. This did it. I first bought a Riobi from Home Depot it was junk and I returned it. The electric start is cool too. No need for the remote. In addition to the digital readout for power and fuel, I would like a fuel gauge. The book does not give info for the small powerpack includer to charge the battery. I would like a manual choke but it does work good so far. I like it. Buy one.
Haven’t seen any videos with my new version. Different key fob and placement of switches. Other reviewers have same one that were just posted. Hopefully they worked out all the issues. Also have lifetime hour meter in it now.
I just purchased this generator as a replacement for my old Boliy. There is no comparison performance or feature wise between the Igen4500 and my old generator. The Igen4500 handles our trailer power requirements with ease unlike our old one. Features like the digital display and remote start being standard make using this generator a pleasure. The operating sound level under all loads is far quieter than any of our past "quiet" generators. Well worth the money!
