After 4-5 years
on January 1, 2025
Posted by: remote weekend cabin
from Shenandoah valley
Excellent generator, bought during Covid time frame, use this for a remote weekend cabin on and off, in the summer I use for 2 ac’s and a cpap , machine and basic stuff . Sometime it stays in for 24-48 hrs even 72 hrs. Switched to synthetic oil early on.and change oil regularly between 60-80 hrs or when dirty which in the summer is 1x a month .
Only issues I’ve had : oil changes are messy, it drains to the plate under it where there is a drain plug which allows you to drain to a oil pan, but it’s still messy and sometimes oil comes out when you think you got oil out later after running it , not best design, push button starting issues after a crap Tom of hrs in it ( not all the time ), still need to trouble shoot BUT after 5 yrs it could be the button , the starter. Rarely use the pull cord, only if if super cold in the teens and the old start choke don’t work after it tried to start by push button. It has a cold start and RPM’s will raise higher if it’s super cold for a few minutes then drop down.I’ve used this on a ext cord to run lights to another cabin probably 150ft-250 ft away on eco mode more than what was suggested to do with no issues for a while.
Great gage showing how many hrs left based on load and fule in tank.forgot I had to re tie a “ not” in the pull cord handle ..
Over all very reliable inverter with zero repairs.

Great Unit - Love it

I purchased this unit in March 2024. We do a lot of outdoor activities, and it has more than lived up to my expectations. It has plenty of power to run all of our needs and is actually great on gas. Our most recent use, it ran 8+ hours for two days straight and I didn't refuel. I would definitely purchase again.

The iGen5000c is exactly the generator I wanted
on December 28, 2024
Posted by: Dale52
from Shoreline, WA
I was looking for an inverter generator that was quiet yet powerful enough to provide home backup for a gas furnace, some appliances and key lighting circuits. I had looked at other brands but they were either more or less powerful than I needed or weren't in my price range. I read a review of this model in consumer reports and decided this is the unit I need. It's VERY quiet, more so than I was expecting. Setup was very straight forward but a little messy (I overfilled the oil). And it started right up. Time will tell but so far I am really pleased with this purchase.

Mixed Review - Great Performer Aggravating Issues
on December 25, 2024
Posted by: Framer Dave
from Canfield, Ohio
The generator performs very well. The location where the oil has to be checked and filled is very hard to access. You sometimes have to lay on the ground to get the plug back in. The battery cover and the oil access cover fall off too easily. Even when you're moving the generator you find them lying on the ground

Bought this after borrowing my brother's (3 year old 5000) for a week long trip, both have worked perfectly, very quiet, remote start is great, and plenty of power for the toy hauler.

New generator

I just purchased it for ice fishing and as a back up generator for home and have not used it yet. Looking forward to it. I love the fact that it has a remote start and a battery that came with it!
