Having done lots of on-line searching and comparing, iGen4500 came out on top of my list for brand and model. It appears to be of sturdy build, works (almost) as advertised, and has some great extra features. Sadly, they have still not fixed the choke issue, nor the illuminated power-on switch. And just to nit-pick, they should have spared a couple more inches to the battery connect wire. Old, arthritic fingers can barely get into the limited space. And the hold-down for the battery strap clip isn't notched enough (molded plastic flaw), the clip doesn't stay firm. Again, not really complaining, just mentioning. On the cool side; The Amazon ad didn't even showcase the retractable pull bar! Completely out of the way until needed, pulls out like a suitcase on wheels. The oil service funnel screws into the oil fill port preventing spillage. There's enough space in the battery area to store the funnel, rag, spark plug wrench, etc, and an extra bottle of oil. Gotta love the control panel. Digital read-out gives more info than others, and all info is useful. (Voltage, Load %, Watts, Fuel level, Remaining run time, and Total hours. Now we'll see how well it holds up. Again, I'm very happy with it so far. I'm looking forward to Westinghouse's fix or at least workarounds for the choke and ignition light.

I just bought it. Timely delivery, nicely packaged and handled with care for shipping. I took it out of the box followed the easy startup instructions, it started right up and is running great can not wait to get it out camping, and it runs quietly sure it will not bother anybody. I love it so far, the weight of107 lbs is a little heavy for me but will have help to load and unload it while camping

The Igen4500 is superior to other gen’s in its class. It’s quiet, starts easily and has a long run time. When you purchase this go ahead and order the high altitude kit. You will need if you are above 2000ft . I would have given it 5 stars if the high altitude kit was included.

My IGen4500 arrived two days early. It's not light but it comes with two built in handles for loading, and a telescoping handle to use when you want to roll the unit. It comes with everything needed to get started except the gas. It's super quiet so we don't have to worry about neighbors complaining about the noise. Can't wait to take it camping.

I needed to open the side and front panel to reconnect the wire harness for the automatic choke, but it was an easy and immediate fix. I have used the generator several times with my travel trailer. The remote start is great, and the generator runs appliances and the a/c with ease. It is also extremely quiet. I have camped near several other generator brands and the iGen4500 is by far the most quiet.

I bought this as a backup generator for my house in the mountains and for use in my RV. Relatively quiet operation and the telescoping handle makes moving it around very easy. No problems starting even in extreme cold conditions. Very easy startup out of the box. It was up and running in no time! Looking forward to using it on the RV.

Bought this unit to run our trailer and it worked perfectly for our requirements. Unit is so quiet we were standing next to it and was talking normally without raising our voices. Nice to know if we need more power we can purchase another unit and parallel connect for that requirement.

We just bought this and I (the wife) unpacked and prepped it to run. It was very easy to set up and started on first try with electric start button. We ran it for over two hours with different appliances attached and ran great and quietly. I hope it keeps this up, if so we will be so happy!!

Bought this because our old conventional generator was too loud and annoying during an extended power outage at our home. This unit is very quiet and should be safer to use with our electronic devices. We won't have to refuel as often with the larger tank and easier for my wife to use with the electric starter.

I am excited to try out this new inverter generator. Right now we have been using a regular generator and cannot use it for extended periods because it's so loud. I love the fact that it has push start option, and on off remote fob. The eco feature is awesome, too.
