Great Generator and Very Quiet

Bought for RV but tested with air compressor. Most generators have problems firing up air compressors but this one did the job without issue. Also runs very quiet. The remote start is another nice whistle and bell but not necessary but it is cool to use.

Easy Set Up

I just received the iGen 4500 today and it was very easy to set up. Add oil, add gas, hook up battery and started with remote on first try. It's very quiet, I plugged in a belt sander and it didn't make a difference in sound. It says "auto rotating display" but it's not, you have to press a little button on display to go through the functions. I will be putting it under more load with the RV soon. Pros; Easy start, Quiet, easy to understand display Cons; Display does not auto rotate (not a big deal but it says it is).

Great features

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.

Would not start untill I messed with choke

Came in great condition, Followed instructions, Would not start, Called helpline and they picked right up and were amazingly helpful, they emailed me a service bulletin that was pretty easy to follow, Aparently the choke gets stuck after being stored and transported. All I did was move the chock, and it started right up. It has started ever since, I have started it probably 20 times with the push button start and also the included remote control. Seems to work well now. I also ordered the high altitude kit for it that costs $18. For the price this generator is great, and has way more perks than the Honda. My unit came with the 30 amp plug facing the right way, and a remote control. If it will continue to run like it is right know I would give it a 5 star. I am giving it a 3 star just because it would not start at first, and had to call the company.

Fantastic Unit

Our Toy trailer generator went out after 20 years. Bought this to use when remote camping. Very easy to set up and started easily, and very quiet. Will love the remote starter on cold days! Easy to roll with the pull out handle, even wife can move it around.

Like it so far.

Have ran it two hours,with no problems. Hooked up the battery, added oil and gas. Hit the start button and it fired right up. Battery charge input socket was very loose, so removed the front panel and tightened the jam nut. Easy fix. Impressed with all the features for the price. If not for the charging port I would have given five stars. Happy with my purchase so far, would buy again.

Best in camp

I love this generator! I went camping with a group of people. My new iGen4500 was lighter, quieter, and easier to move around than the two other generators in our group. I loved being able to use the remote to start/stop my generator from inside my camper when it was raining. Best in camp.

Don’t waste your money

This is the worst generator. I have had nothing but problems right after I got it. All I do is run a few lights and it can’t even handle that. The battery has never held a good charge. I have to either plug it in to charge it before I use it or either I have to jump it off and it always sounds like it’s running out of gas and acts like its stalling out and it eventually does. Most the time I have to use the cord to start it and if I’m lucky it’ll start after two or three times of pulling it but in most cases it takes more than that. The odling on it constantly is going up-and-down up-and-down up-and-down and nothing else has been plugged into it or nothing has been unplugged from it. It constantly does it until it finally goes dead. I would not recommend this algae and 4500 propane or gas to anyone. I will never buy another generator that has Westinghouse on it. And the sad thing is I haven’t even had it a year yet. Piece of junk.

Light weight and quiet unit!

Great generator to use for RV boondocking! Love how quiet it is and easy to maneuver. It also lasted longer than expected. We were able to use it about an average of 12 hrs without filling up with gas. It also has a remote which is super convenient. Great purchase!

Well worth the price

I received the generator in perfect shape, hooked up battery, added oil that came with machine and filled with gas. Very easy setup! Easy to follow instructions. Turned on battery and fuel switch, Then simply pushed start. Unit started and ran perfect on first try. I would recommend this generator to anyone who needs dependable portable power
