IGen 500CV Generator

Would Recommend

Great generator. Quiet. Runs about once a month for my toy hauler and has plenty of power. I do have a smaller generator I chain together when running for long periods or running more than usual from the camper. Easy to set up and easy to use.

This is our second iGen inverter generator. The one we installed in our RV in 2021 has performed flawlessly. We bought a second unit for the house. Love the compact size, quite operation, clean power, & remote start.

Very quiet

Just purchased the generator but it is quiet and that was important. I like the long handle which helps moving alot easier . It runs great while running the air conditioner in a 25 ft fifth wheel.

The Neighbors are Jealous

Would Recommend

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 e...

Worked great right out of the box

Bought this to replace a smaller one so I could run the AC in my camper. Filled up the oil, gas, hooked up the battery and away it went. Pushed the start button and it worked perfect.
