Great product so far other than changing oil. Very difficult location to work on and keep from getting excess oil in bottom of unit.
I would recommend this to a friend!

this started up the first time has ran great for hours. I love the handle that allows you to tow it to different locations. Makes it super convenient for one person to move, anyone that’s got an RV or even running your home utilities - This is a great plus. Very quiet operation - love it.

Just bought the generator. when unboxing at home, the battery cover was not in place and loose in the package. the battery hold down rubber was broken into two peices and the battery was half way out of the generator when i removed the generator from the plastic. currently contacting westinghouse to see about getting a battery hold down. Passed that, this generator is quiet, easy to start both on pull start and electric start. love the remote feature. family memeber has the same generator and it has 500 plus hours on it with no issues.

The Neighbors are Jealous

I picked up the iGen5000c generator thinking it would sound like a lawnmower wrestling a bear. Instead? Whisper quiet. I’m talking ninja-sneaking-through-your-backyard quiet.
The first time I turned it on, I actually thought it wasn’t working until I noticed my fridge humming and my coffee maker kicking in like nothing happened.
Pros:
• Starts faster than my car on a cold morning.
• Powers my fridge, lights, WiFi router, and existential crisis lamp without breaking a sweat.
• Quiet enough that my dog didn’t even flinch—he just kept sleeping like it wasn’t there.

Cons:
• So quiet, I kind of miss the growl.
• My neighbor now borrows it so often I’m considering charging him rent.
• I caught myself standing next to it just to feel like I was doing something important.

Bottom line: If you want reliable backup power without waking the neighborhood—or your pets—this is it. Five stars. Feels like having a secret power plant in your garage.

I only gave it a 4 because I don’t know the longevity of life and that definitely matters.
