Just what I wanted

We live in the mountains and wanted a generator for when the electric system goes out. I wanted and inverter generator with push button electric start. The inverter was well packed with no damage on arrival. I followed instructions and it fired up with the first press of the starter button. I was also pleased that it shipped with a little trickle charger for the battery, and proper funnel for the oil. Oil was in a separate container for shipping.

Quiet and powerful

So far we are very happy with our purchase. This unit has an amazingly low decibel rating for the amount of power that it provides. Although we have not had to use it yet, this will be for our homes energy back up. This unit can power to fridges, our furnace fan, several lights, and some kitchen essentials. For us the quiet aspect was a must. If we have to use this overnight, we can trust that we will have enough runtime time to make it last through the night and not wake our neighbors.

Ultra Quiet

We just bought this generator and both my husband and myself, could not believe just how quiet it was, plus it was easy to start, even by pulling the cord. Battery was not charged up, but we have it on the charger and we don't expect any problems. The only con that we could come up with was that the oil was a bit awkward to put into the generator, but other than that we highly recommend this generator.

QUITE AS A MOUSE

i just received my igen 4500. the instructions were simple to follow. The best part of this was the generator started on the first touch of the remote. The generator is a little heavy for a 63 year old to carry. Well, the built in handle for rolling the generator came in handy. Great product.

Not what we expected

It was easy to setup and get started. Not nearly as quiet as expected, has a massive amount of vibration. We ran it in the driveway for awhile my husband said it doesn't sound like it is idling down properly. We don't have any camping trips planned till August this was bought for our new 34 ft travel trailer. We plan to do some remote camping with it just hope it runs our a/c and isn't too noisy. Also really disappointed that we couldn't get the cover for it as a bonus gift for leaving a review website said they were having an issue with supplier and only had the 15 ft power strip available......really would have liked the cover!

Remote control

I bought this inverter generator a few weeks ago because my wife had a hard time starting our old one. We bought this one because it had a remote start which works great. I wish we had purchased this sooner as we do a lot of camping off grid. It's very easy to use, fairly light and easy to maneuver, and quiet too.

Great whole house generator , Lots of features .

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 .

Great inverter

I bought this for camping and have used it around the house for activities and it can easily run everything I planned to plug in. This unit is easy to start and runs very quite. Under advertised is the handle and wheels which make it really easy to roll it around.

Worked as expected iGen4500

Purchased the inverter from HD on 4/4/2019, delivered on 4/9/2019. Took it out the box and filled with oil as instructed, added gas and she started right up. Got this for our RV that has a 15K ac. Ran it for about 2 hours trying to put a 25% load on it but could, I would have to run everything in the RV. Ran the heater but didn't get to 25%.

Just Purchased

Battery was not charged when received. Also did not find instructions on how to do the manual choke if necessary. It was an easy start after the battery was charged. Have not really used it as of yet, so so far so good. Will update once we have used it.
