Generator runs great. A little difficult to start for the very first time. Had to manually choke it to get it to start the first time. Upset the cover is no longer available as a bonus item. Really don't need a power strip.
I use this product to power my 27 foot travel trailer. It will run the air conditioner and the microwave at the same time. I also really like the remote start, such a nice convenience when you don't need to run the power all the time. However I did find that if you leave the battery switch on for 4-5 days it will drain the battery and not start with the electric start. I have yet to determine if the generator running charges the battery or if you need to plug the charger in. So far I am loving the size and power of the iGen4500, easy to move around with the nice telescoping handle.
Gen is in perfect condition right out of the box. Manuel, quick start guide, funnel, charger, spark plug wrench and remote all packaged well in the box. Easy setup, easy to roll around and instructions are easy to understand. I have not started it yet, will follow up on review after break in period. I bought this to use with my RV which has 1500 btu AC.
I have about 10 hours on my igen 4500. It runs great. I use it to power my rv when i'm off the grid camping. It power everything with no problems. The only issue I have had is the battery cover keeps falling off and one time I started it to microwave something only ran it four a few minutes and shut it off. the next time it was a little hard to start needed to use the pull cord to start it other than that it has been flawless. I'm also really happy with how quite it is
