Had read all the reviews and noticed the issues with initial start-up. I was a little disappointed that the issue has not been resolved. I called support and they sent me the bulletin to deal with the problem. Problem solved after losing a little skin off my hands. Looking forward to using this unit.

I bought this a couple months ago and have used it a few times. Runs good. Came without a plug inside the engine unplugged somehow. After nearly returning it I searched the internet and found it's a common problem - took about 20 screws out, found the unplugged choke cable, reassembled and it works good now.

Received generator in good condition. Directions straight forward to set up. Only thing was to connect battery I had to plug positive and negative terminal harness to generator harness. Wires were already connected to battery although negative terminal connection was loose.Replaced plastic oil fill plug with a magnetic one to capture metal shavings during break in period. Unit started right up. Very quite. Plugged in a chest freezer and refrigerator, worked well. Fairly easy to wheel around with luggage style telescoping handle.Time will tell of it’s durability.

Recently received the iGen4500 and I am pleased as to how quiet it is. I am able to start and stop using the remote from a considerable distance. The ability to maneuver it with the extended handle and wheels is a real plus given that I am a 60+ year old woman! I’m glad that a friend and I had researched generators and found the igen4500 to be the best one for my needs.

I recently purchased this generator and it would not run. I had to remove the carburetor and clean it out. There was corrosion in the bowl and the jet was clogged. Maybe my model had been sitting for some time causing the corrosion. It runs now, but still doesn't seem to be smooth and runs a little rough. After getting it running it does seems to be a little louder compared to similar generators. Now its not job site loud and it will suffice, but I was expecting just a little bit quieter.

I was concerned that the noise from any generator would bother my neighbors, but this generator is so quiet it won't disturb anyone (quieter than a distant-sounding lawn mower). I hooked up a 12,000 BTU portable air conditioner and then tried an 1,100 watt microwave, and this generator handled them each with no problem. Even though it weighs about 100 pounds, the wheels and handle make it easy to move around. It also isn't too large, which is nice for storage in my garage. The remote on/off feature is nice and the unit starts up easily with it. I live in Northern California where PG&E now shuts off power temporarily when there is a threat of fires during red flag conditions. It's good to be prepared now, in case that happens in my neighborhood in the future. I am pleased with my purchase and have already recommended this generator to others.

I bought the igen4500 generator about two weeks ago and I have to say that I am very impressed. The generator weighed about 100 pounds but that is extremely light for a high powered generator like this. It is also very quiet which is great for when I take my family to camp sites and don’t have to worry about keeping anyone else up. For the price and quality of this generator I highly recommend purchasing the igen4500, you won’t regret it.

I live in Florida and the unit is perfect for pulling at 10BTU AC unit for and your fridge during hurricanes. The unit operation is SUPER quiet compared to my previous emergency Generac Generator. I definitively recommend the unit for emergency and running home essentials.

so far for the size of it very quite I have only ran in my garage but it is going a base camp in Mackey ID and I will have to purchase the high altitude kit but at lest they told me this instead of not getting the full power out of the machine. It will work great gets great reviews and I will add pic's at base camp. I love the fact 3 ways to start it but most favor it is remote start I can be inside the wall tent and start a pot of coffee.

So far we are very happy with our purchase. This unit has an amazingly low decibel rating for the amount of power that it provides. Although we have not had to use it yet, this will be for our homes energy back up. This unit can power to fridges, our furnace fan, several lights, and some kitchen essentials. For us the quiet aspect was a must. If we have to use this overnight, we can trust that we will have enough runtime time to make it last through the night and not wake our neighbors.
