I recently bought this generator and am very pleased with it. It's pretty quiet as advertised and has plenty of power to run my RV air conditioner.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pretty impressive generator

Perfect size for any RV or camper with a 30 amp service. I'm very impressed with the overall quality and design. The campground owner stopped by as we were first starting it and was impressed with how quiet it was. Then I put it in eco mode to really impress him. I will keep this covered in the back of my pickup under lock and chain.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Generator worked good for first 24 hours and then having issues. The generator started missing and not producing any power. I’ll give it 5 stars if the warranty covers this.

Best all around generator for the money

I bought this generator for taking to the mountains of Colorado. Needed large size due to loss of power at altitude. Works perfect at high altitude.

I recently purchased this generator. It is very quite and has only been used with propane. Light for size and seems to have great features. Like the remote, to start from the RV.

Solid Unit
on December 3, 2021
Posted by: winsomone
from San Jose, CA
I purchased this generator for camping and power outages at home. The generator I previously owned was small, 2000/1600w. It was convenient but not enough output to satisfy my needs for the RV or home. Having two small generators linked together was an option but I wanted the 30amp outlet. It's very convenient to be able to plug the RV's 30amp cable directly to the iGen. I am very satisfied with the quality of construction, power output and extra features of the iGen. I was able to power a 16' trailer directly to the 30amp outlet while charging the batteries of my RV through the 110 outlet. Also, I had tent campers nearby charging their phone and laptop from the USB outputs.
The iGen is packaged well and was easy to unbox (follow the instructions) and set up. It started quickly and effortlessly with the electronic start. (The pull cable is there if there is ever a problem with the battery). I ran the unit for about an hour to break-in. I plugged in several small loads including a 1500w hair dryer over the hour to vary the output and check out the gas saving efficiency mode switch. Everything went well. It is quieter than my RV's onboard Generator. The iGen is very easy to move. The sturdy extension handle works very well when needing to re-locate the iGen. I have not used the DF (propane) feature so can't comment but I wanted that option.
Cons: The iGen was missing two bolts of four used to connect the extension handle. A bit of a concern but were available from the local hardware store. Also, the iGen is heavy so although it's easy to roll around storing it for travel takes two
people to be safe.
