This review is actually for the igen2500 camo version. We purchased it the week Hurricane Florence hit and boy was it a lifesaver. We ran our lights, 1 ceiling fan, 2 box fans, a full size refrigerator, 60" tv, a 32" tv, two xbox one's and our modem and wireless router, and she purred like a kitten and sipped the gasoline. We ran it for 3 days non stop on about 7 gallons of gasoline. I also have a generac 5500 watt and this one is soooooo much quieter compared to that one. I always wanted one of the small Hondas but this one is just as quiet and works just as good for a fraction of the price. I'm actually thinking about purchasing another one to parallel them together for extra wattage. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

When I purchased the product it did not come with the item listed in the manual so I called and they were shipped to me. The plastic exterior all cracked and we were sent the pieces but due to the construction it took an experienced mechanically inclined person over 3 hours to replace. We did an oil change at the same time and 1 month later after running it roughly 14 hours it stops running. Just about 1 year to the date of original purchase. This is too much maintenance. Pros are it is very quiet when it ran and used very little gas.

My review of the iGEN4500 is based on owning a Westinghouse WH2400i prior to this purchase. The iGEN4500 is roughly twice the size physically and in power. The iGEN4500 has more bells and whistles; electric and remote start, larger fuel tank, stronger engine, and carrying handle. Unfortunately, the iGEN4500 did not improve on the oil filler location. It is still troublesome to fill and not get oil inside the compartment. Access the internal on the iGEN4500 is better than the WH2400i. All is necessary is to unscrew some screws and you are in. I'm torn on gas consumption, though. I could get 14 hours on 1.4 gallons of gas with the WH2400i, but I get 22 hours on 3.4 gallons of gas with the iGEN4500. I really wanted the electric start so I was willing to accept the higher gas usage of the iGEN4500, or at least I think I do. Now, the most recognizable difference has been in sound (loudness). I believe both the iGEN4500 and WH2400i have the same decibel rating but to my ears the iGEN4500 is noticeably quieter. I really despise companies marketing generators as quiet and/or super quiet. It has to be as stupidest as calling power banks solar generators. Generators are not quiet, but I will say the iGEN4500 , compared to the WH2400i completely took me by surprise. In my book, there are two wins in the iGEN4500 column, electric start and less generator noise. Just like the WH2400i, I do not plan to put many hours on the unit. It will only see occasional use. But it is nice to know I can move the unit easily outdoor, run an extension cord to wherever my load is, go back indoors, and use the remote start key fob. It will be equally nice to barely hear the generator running from indoors. I hope this guy will give me troublefree operation just as the WH2400i during it reign.

I used this item on a recent camping trip and rain it for 42+ hours straight non stop. It powered my 32’ travel trailer. I ran the a/c the entire time. Also while running the a/c I ran lights, water pump, microwave, coffee maker, baby monitors, sound machine, and charged electric devices. I was on the fence about getting this product as it’s have the price of a Honda. Personally I think it runs just as quite as the Honda. As long as I get 5-10 years use out of this generator I will be happy!

I have had the 4500 for several years, great generator. Upgraded to the 5000, now I can run the air conditioner, microwave, and toaster at the same time without any concerns. Very happy the this generator. I only wish these came with the high altitude jets installed in the carburetor.

I tried the Champion dual fuel on my RV with a 15K AC unit. It wouldn`t run the AC and shut off. I tried the Igen4500 and it had no problem at all powering the camper with AC, TV, and refrigerator on. My only issue is it will not run my porter cable vertical portable air compressor. Its just a 120 volt 15 amp load. The Igen4500 struggles to get it started and then goes into protection. I will try an adapter on the 30 amp plug to see if that helps.

Bought the iGen4500 after plenty of research online, including watching several noise and load test videos before deciding on purchase. This generator with its watt capacity, affordable inverter model price and amazing features stands well apart from the rest. It’s beautifully designed and engineered on the inside and outside. After filling it with oil and fuel it started up immediately and purrs like a kitten. Love it! The main use of this generator is for home back up power and occasional camping.

I bought as backup for power outage in hurricane and winter seasons. Instructions are very good. Started up on second pull of recoil handle (first was probably filling carbonator with gas). Recoil pull was very easy. Ran great and very quite compared to others I hear in the neighborhood.

Arrived in very well packaged box with plenty of protection. Followed the instructions to set it up, and had it running in 15 minutes out of the box. Very quiet generator, and is a quality sturdy generator. I load tested it on my RV and it powered everything easily (AC, lights, TV, microwave, etc). Welcome addition to my RV, expecially with the remote start.

First glance was a little iffy due to the box being destroyed. I'm sure through shipping. Followed the instructions when i got it home. started right up and it is very quite! I will do the break in process and use it over the weekend and will be back for a follow up review. initial thoughts - cosmetically looks great, very quite and i like the display in the front.
