Got my iGen5000 a month ago and I've put 15 hours on it so far. Works just as advertised, and I love the key fob start/stop. Only problem is the fuel gauge consistently reads about 40% the actual amount of fuel. Other gauges in the data readout that use the fuel gauge also affected.
Not a quiet generator but it's not too loud, starts and runs great with the remote, push button and pull start. Will work great for keeping power at the house when the power goes out.
Additional review- Generator is great, runs my fifth wheel without any problem. Love the remote start. Only complaint is that is louder than advertised. They advertise 52db but is closer to 70db when running. That is when it is running on the auto and low power draw. A little louder when the engine rpm’s come up with increased load. Still haven't received my free generator cover though. Generator is still 4 stars but down to 3 stars because of 2 reasons- no cover received and the offer is for a frame generator cover, not the cover for this generator. Seems to me if you are going offer a free product because you purchased something, you would get the appropriate product for what you purchased!!
I would recommend this to a friend!
