Just in case of California PG&E PSPS I bought this generator back in Sep 2020. One month later, I had to use this unit for the power outage. I bought this unit based on the great reviews online, also had to wait for Lowes’s to restock the unit. So going in I had high expectations for the igen4500. All I can say is I’m not disappointed. This unit works as I expected. After following the clear instructions that came with the unit, I ran it for 4 hours the 1st day and then 10 hours straight the 2nd day. The unit was able to power the 2 refrigerators and 1 small freezer we had. I also had my internet modem, computer and couple of lights hooked up to it at the same time. Without this unit, we would not be able to work and attend school online. Very happy with the purchase so far.

Originally bought the Generac iq3500 the unit was heavier with no wheels. Not very portable, 2 people needed just to move position. Sent it back and bought this. Nice portable generator with more power, wheels and extending handle. Starts first time using electric starter. Test run over the weekend worked great!

This product exceeded expectations with good consistent power output, accurate estimates in regards to remaining power time available with current fuel levels, and amazingly low sound output. Very portable with lightweight and ergonomic design of handle and wheels

This unit arrived last week. The instructions were helpful, but the online reviews that I read before ordering were even better. Like, do NOT put the entire bottle of oil in the unit as it will have a bit in it already. Started right up and ran good. The hardest part of everything was finding the serial number because the decal was low enough that it couldn't be seen until picking up the unit. Very quite, smooth running and I hope I don't need it for hurricane season, but if I do, I believe I can count on it to be a great help.

I bought the Igen 4500 a little less than a month ago. I am extremely happy with the features and the performance of this machine. I had some questions about machine operations and I used the chat option to have my questions answered and it was quick and easy. I'm looking forward to a very rewarding summer on the road and having the option of staying in campgrounds that do not have electric.

I bought this generator after reading many reviews. I did not know what an inverter generator was and did not understand (or believe) how a small generator could produce so much power, be so much smaller in size and weight, be so fuel efficient and be so quite. This generator is also very easy to operate. Simply turn on the power switch, switch on the fuel and hit the start button, its that easy. We just returned from a four day trip to attend a NASCAR race and ran the generator 24 hours a day with the Air Conditioner cranked down low, only shutting it down to add fuel every 12 hours. That is an incredible run time for a generator with a 3.4 gallon fuel tank. I highly recommend this generator. You will be impressed and pleased.

I ordered this unit because it has electric start, and my wife struggles to pull start our existing generator. If a situation ever arose where I was out of town and she needed emergency power, she could be stuck in the dark. I bought this and unpacked it today, and I'm pleased to report that it started up on the first button push after following the quick start guide. The form factor matches some features of my old unit, like the rear wheels and extendable handle which are features that I feel are a must have if you intend for your significant other to use this on their own. It is quite easy to pull around, and while I can lift this solo I wouldn't recommend it as it is over 90 lbs. While it is still too early to tell how reliable it is I have run it for 1 hour so far, and I intend to use it heavily over the next week to really make sure I can trust it during a major storm. I can say that I put a half gallon of gas in it, and let it idle about 15 minutes, then ran it with a toaster oven (1500W) attached. After 30 minutes it had shut down. There was still some gas in the tank so I started it back up and it ran briefly before sputtering and shutting off. I put another half gallon of gas in and it ran perfectly fine for another 15 minutes, and at that point it had run for an hour so I shut it down manually. I had put in exactly 1 gal of fuel in, so I added exactly 2.5 gal more and was surprised it was exactly at the full tank line, which means I had put in exactly 3.5 gallons of gas, and it has a listed capacity of 3.4 gallons. If my math is correct that means in my 1 hour of run time I burned 0.1 gallons of gas. I honestly think it burned more than that, and perhaps the tank size is smaller than listed, but overall I'm not concerned about tank size as you can shut down and refuel anytime. One thing to note is that the included paper manual was out of date, even though my unit shows it to be manufactured in 2020. The online manual matches the control panel layout more closely and the oil fill directions make more sense so I printed a copy of that to replace the included version. One other thing to note is the recommended oil changes after the initial break in are every 50 hours. Because of this I plan to make sure I have oil on hand to do a change during a storm event. It would be really easy to have a power outage that lasts long enough to exceed the 50 hour runtime between changes. My old unit had an interval of 100 hours between changes, but honestly as long as this generator starts and runs that is not something I care about. My priority is making sure my wife has power if I'm not at the house. If you want a generator with a good form factor, quiet engine, and easy electric starting this unit is a great one to pick up.

I just purchased this generater for my new camper. Unit was delivered quickly. Followed the setup directions and it started right up. Very quiet. I do notice that the description of the Data Center functions in the manual differ slightly from what is actually shown. Found another manual version online that shows correct functions. I am very pleased and look forward to using it this weekend.

I’m very pleased with the product. It didn’t take long to set up and I had it running in no time. The remote start and push button feature are very convenient and allow accessibility from inside the trailer. Overall, I am more than pleased with the product and would recommend it to anyone trying to find a great generator for your trailer.

Out of the box it took less than 10 mins before we were up and running. Very manageable for one person and so quiet compared to my last generator - such an improvement! Do yourself a favor and add the oil slowly and in phases. My generator didn't quite take the full quart. I plan to use this for my camper and as a partial home back up generator. So far so good!
