IGen 4500.

Just bought the IGen 4500 generator and very happy so far. Packaging was good. Instructions for start up was good. Nice to have the funnel and oil to add right away. Battery was a bit weak but managed to start it after three attempts. Nice charger supplied for the battery. Pretty darn quiet. I'm looking forward to powering up my camper for bow season in Wisconsin this next week.

Quiet and Powerful!

Bought this generator to power a decent sized camper. Instructions were simple to follow, and the craziest part is how quiet the generator is! I couldn't even tell it was running from the road (about 100 feet away). This little guy does everything we need it to.

Big and Quiet

Just purchased yesterday. Except for battery, fuel and oil, no additional assembly necessary. For a larger generator, was surprised how quiet it was. After letting it run with no load for 2 ours hooked the RV to it to test the air conditioning. No issues.

1st generator

Purchased this because of living along the coast in SC. Had several power outages each of the last 3 years due to storms. Figured I would protect myself next time. Generator came within 4 days. Easy set up. Filled with supplied oil. Fueled up and connected the battery. Turned on the battery switch and fuel knob. Used the start button on the unit and it fired right up once it got gas. Shut off and started with the remote. Again it fired right up. This thing is very quiet with no load. I’m sure once there is a load it will be a little louder but can’t be much. Very pleased so far. Will be ready for the next power outage.

So far good

So far, after set up and a 30 min initial run, it’s great. Remote start works well and it VERY quiet. A couple of things I noticed: the unit serial number is not available on the inverter anywhere. I had to cut one of the UPC stickers off the box to put with my records. 2nd: Familiarizing myself with the control panel and actually reading the manual, I notice the graphic depiction of the control panel and pictures were different from the iGen4500 I received. I’m curious as to why the unit I received is different from what is shown & advertised.

Easy to set up and start the first time iGen4500

Very happy with the product, So far so good. I put too much oil in and had to take some out. Otherwise following the instructions was easy and it started right up with one push of the button. I plugged in my big electric drill and lit right up and started drilling using the power from the gas powered iGen4500.

Quality generator packed with useful features and power!

I'm using the i4500 for boondocking. A quality generator the is quiet and provides the power that can provide the power I need while camping. Also has a lot of nice features like remote start, a collapsible handle, fuel shutoff and reasonably quiet. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Remote start is improvement since last generator

I bought this generator just in time for hurricane season and took advantage of tax holiday in the event we will be living in our RV once again. Last Westinghouse generator would not run the A/C, this one will run everything in RV. Remote start much improved feature. Hope to be as satisfied with this one as previous.
