Great generator

Generator runs great. A little difficult to start for the very first time. Had to manually choke it to get it to start the first time. Upset the cover is no longer available as a bonus item. Really don't need a power strip.

Love the remote start

I use this product to power my 27 foot travel trailer. It will run the air conditioner and the microwave at the same time. I also really like the remote start, such a nice convenience when you don't need to run the power all the time. However I did find that if you leave the battery switch on for 4-5 days it will drain the battery and not start with the electric start. I have yet to determine if the generator running charges the battery or if you need to plug the charger in. So far I am loving the size and power of the iGen4500, easy to move around with the nice telescoping handle.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Gen is in perfect condition right out of the box. Manuel, quick start guide, funnel, charger, spark plug wrench and remote all packaged well in the box. Easy setup, easy to roll around and instructions are easy to understand. I have not started it yet, will follow up on review after break in period. I bought this to use with my RV which has 1500 btu AC.

I have about 10 hours on my igen 4500. It runs great. I use it to power my rv when i'm off the grid camping. It power everything with no problems. The only issue I have had is the battery cover keeps falling off and one time I started it to microwave something only ran it four a few minutes and shut it off. the next time it was a little hard to start needed to use the pull cord to start it other than that it has been flawless. I'm also really happy with how quite it is

Powerful & quiet but one bug and a customer service fail

We are using this on a 1974 40 ft Boatel Houseboat. It has enough juice for the AC, Fridge and even the 20 gallon water heater. When strapped to the swim platform you barely notice it running. I had one issue thus far where it would not start. I had to remove the maintenance panel and two 8mm hex screws to get another cover off of an air cleaner to get at the carburetor and manually flip the butterfly open on the automatic choke. Since then it has been fine. The battery and oil service doors fall of fairly easily when the machine is jarred where they simply do not fit tight enough. It's my opinion they should be tethered somehow. I called customer service to ask what if any protection the igen 4500 has in a case of overheating. They said they would look into it and call me right back with an answer. Six days since and still no call. I also received notice in the box that if I filled out this review I would get a free cover which I'll desperately need but after the fact I find out that they are completely out and sorry. I'll stick with it but at this point its a low 3 rating range. I would recommend it to a friend because of the great power at such low decibels - but caution them to beware.
