The iGen5000c generator was purchased following a massive windstorm that left us without power for nearly three days. It arrived well packaged, and setup was easy. Instructions were clear and once the battery was connected, oil and fuel added, it ran smoothly from the start. I have yet to put much of a load on it but so far, I am quite pleased with the IGen5000c.
I bought the 4500 couple years ago. It lasted two years in the carburetor went bad place a carburetor still didn’t work so I purchased this one. This one comes with a three year warranty so if it doesn’t work, we will see.
I have only used the generator a couple of times but so far it has been fantastic. Starts immediately and handles the power needs of my travel trailer. I would definitely recommend this inverter generator to anyone.
I purchased an iGen5000c the first of August. The set up was easy, but I recommend to only pour in about 2/3 of the supplied bottle of oil and check the level before adding more. When I pressed the start button, it fired up in just a couple of seconds. It is way quieter than my Honda lawnmower. I have it in my back yard just around a corner of the house about 20 feet away from the backdoor. I went into the house, and with the door open, I couldn't hear it over the TV. It easily powered my refrigerator, lights and TVs with plenty left over to still be able to run a microwave, toaster oven or even a small window AC unit.
I bought this after the ice storm in 2021 and it has been used several times since then. It has always started right up when I needed it. It is also easy for me to move when necessary. I would buy it again.
We recently had a power outage and I borrowed a 4500c from my stepson to get us by . Could not believe how quiet they run . I have been looking into a backup generator but the cost is way to high for what I would be using it for . I got the 5000c which will work good as a backup if we loose power . Love all the features this unit has . You cant go wrong with this product . I recommend it highly .
