1st generator I ever bought

I'd like this generator because it depends on propane to run. I do not do gasoline. I want to save the planet.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good performance for the money, so far

I have only used it a few times so I don't have extensive experience, but it seems to work quite well - so 4 stars, will give 5 if continues like this... a bit louder than I thought it would be, although if under the back porch with door closed you don't notice it too much. The panel showing performance parameters is helpful. I bought a 3-way splitter short extension cord / adapter for the RV plug to make a total of 5 three-pronged house outlets.
The manual says to be careful when first filling the oil and this is correct! you only need to put in about 2/3 to 3/4 of the supplied oil at first, I overfilled initially and then drained it out to remove enough to get back to medium/high on the dipstick.
Others have mentioned starting and choke problems with this generator but I did not notice this. It's chilly early winter here, 30s and 40s F., and maybe that makes a difference. But from other reviews it seems there may be some sporadic quality issues with particular models.
The wheels are very helpful since this is quite a heavy generator.

Great size, features and price.

Bought this iGen4500 for backup power at home during outages. Very easy setup and a nice, compact size. Easy to move with the wheels and handle. Always starts easily with the punch of a button, and the remote is a nice feature. Will not power the whole house, but plenty of power to keep the essentials running during an outage. Very happy to have made this purchase.

Great power!

Needed a generator to power our 36' RV trailer when dry camping. This unit gives us all the power we need and then some. No problems running the AC, microwave, and lights all at the same time.
