Quiet for size- Needs High Elevation Carb.

Just purchased, have not used camping yet. Seems easy to use and runs quiet for the size of generator. I like the remote start. I was a bit surprised the manual says to purchase a "high elevation" carburetor (>5,000Ft). Never seen this recommendation before on lawn mowers or snow blowers. Figured there would have been an adjustment you could do to the factory installed carb.
After reading several reviews the first thing I did was check the battery and found one loose terminal. I reinstalled the screw and nut and then followed the instructions. The unit started right away and ran perfectly. So far, so good.
Bought this unit for or 5th wheel trailer with a 15000 btu a/c two led tv’s, microwave, 35000 btu furnace and an electric fireplace. It has provided reliable power for everything we have needed while on the road. Very happy with this unit!
Bought the iGen4500 after doing a lot of research on inverter generators. So far it seems like it is going to do a good job powering our camper at a few NASCAR races.
Te handle is very nice and easy to pull around, Love the 30 amp plug in without an adapter. Inverted is the only way to go to keep the sound at a minimum.
