This generator runs quiet and is very efficient on fuel , but the real treat is the fob nothing like just waking up in camp and push the button and bam coffee pots on t.v is on and phones are charging . Love this generator and my friends do too .
I have not had the opportunity to start this yet, but i will go over the pros and cons of why I purchased this unit. Pros are the Key fob and push button start, with someone who has several herniated discs in my lower back this was a must, the gas gauge and run time until empty is a feature that will be very useful as the power output in percentages and the charging cord to keep the onboard battery charged. The cons is only one, I wish they had a better way to change the oil without making such a mess..
Purchased this generator a few weeks ago. It was easy to get running out of the box and fired up right away. I finally had the chance to hook it up to my camper, and it ran everything great. Plenty of power to run my A/C unit, microwave and TV at the same time. The nice thing about this generator is the built in 30amp plug in for your camper, along with the electric start and remote start. I was able to start up the generator with the remote start from inside my camper, which is a nice feature to have. Also, for its size (4500Watt) its a light generator (98lbs) which makes it convenient to load and unload in the back of my truck. Glad I purchased this generator and would recommend it to others.
I have owned this generator for just over a month now, while not a lot of use yet time wise, I have been putting it through it's paces over the last 4 weekends, and its been flawless! The generator will be used to power my cottage that is off the grid, so it will be used on a weekly basis. This generator will be replacing my old unit of 8 years that still runs great, but I was seeking something with remote start, quieter operation, and better fuel economy. And so far the iGen4500 has exceeded my expectations. Whisper quiet, 18 + hours on a tank of fuel running in eco mode, and my favorite option, remote start which I love! No more having to run to the generator shed to start the generator at lunch time, or going back out at night to shut it off at the end of the day. The remote works flawless at about 100' from inside my cottage, to inside my generator shed where it sits. This a high end generator, with great fit and finish, and is on par with some of the higher end generators on the market.
