The iGen4500 was our choice after testing several inverter generators in the 3300-plus watt category. This was our fourth and final selection, as it serves the purpose of powering our travel trailer when boondocked and for quiet home backup during outages. The winning feature for the iGen4500 was the manual Efficiency Mode switch, which can be set to off when starting the RV's 13.5K BTU AC. It is sometimes desiirable (or necessary) to disable auto-idle when starting up high load demand appliances. This is not possible on many inverter gennys.

Runs Quiet and Excellent Features!

Great design and control board. Started up the first time with no issues. Main concern is no manual choke. Yet instructions state it may be necessary to manually start and choke??? Had some scratches on the plastic from factory and rv plug g seems backwards. Appears well built. Still, very concerened about high altitude operation with no manual choke or a carb kit available at present.

So far, I am impressed with the noise level, and the electric/remote start are soooo nice. I am able to run my 15,000 Dometic AC unit on our RV, lights, and a 5hp shop vac.

Best Generator I've Had for my RV.

I've been RVing since 2007. I've had Ohan propane that came with my 2007 5th wheel. Sucked down 30lbs propane tank in 3 hours. Last year in my 2017 I bought A champion 7500 to run everything. My mistake to buy such a large unit. My new Gen4500 Runs everything I turn on, which is what I wanted. Only problem I had was I put the fuel switch in closed position when first trying to start. 4* outside so I was thinking great won't start in cold weather. Grabbed the starting direction and read them again. relized the problem as I went through the steps. Turn the gas on, hit the start button, BOOM auto choked and started. Hooked up power to my rv. One item at a time I turned on, speed increased as the load request grew. I was sure I turn something on and it would pop a circuit. I was wrong. Runs like Westinghouse built it too. Very impressed. I'm hoping my bonus cover I chose will be a good fit. We'll see when it gets here.
