Great for RV use - quiet - remote start!

I need to power a 28' RV for both AC use in Summer and Winter and run the generator all night for my astronomy imaging equipment. I shopped around and listened to various generators and settled on this iGen4500 due to three key features:
1. had to be under 55 dB at 25% load (this unit measured 54 at 25 ')
2. Had to have a remote start (check!)
3. Had to have at least the three year warranty (check!)
1. had to be under 55 dB at 25% load (this unit measured 54 at 25 ')
2. Had to have a remote start (check!)
3. Had to have at least the three year warranty (check!)
Bought the unit from Lowes on Jan 22 and picked it up on a Wednesday and loaded up for Florida Keys on Friday. Monday, after reaching Scout Key for the annual Winter Star Party, I added oil and fuel then fired up the iGen4500. The remote worked flawlessly and my genny was the quietest one in it's size class. I built a simply old-style 'tent' over the unit in case of rain and directed the exhaust towards US 1 (always busy 24/7). About 400 astroimagers on the Key and maybe 30 came by to check out my iGen4500. Everyone was impressed and we took dB readings at 20, 35 and 50'. At 50' it was about 52 dB and after some simple noise baffling using the cardboard box and a piece of plywood you cut down the rumble even more! I changed the oil at 19 hrs and though a bit tricky to do without spilling any oil, it wasn't too challenging. Unit ran flawlessly rest of the week. I'll be using it at other dry campling (no power/water/sewer) events throughout 2019 and look forward to enjoying this genny!!

Love the push button start. Started right up the first time. Havent really used it other than to hook up a light to make sure it was generating electricity. Once i really use it and put it to the test I'll update.

Great Generator

I bought this for our RV and the generator works like a charm. It starts the air conditioner up without any hesitation. We won't have to worry about any hot summers now. The efficiency mode also works very well. The generator will sense when it needs a few more RPM's and then immediately drops back down to an idle speed.
