The pull, button and remote started it right up. The manual says nothing about an hour meter, but it says on the front of the generator that it has one. We haven't ran it enough for it to register any time yet. It's flashing 0000s. We put an external one on it, so we'll see if it's accurate or not. We're still breaking it in, but it seems to have plenty of power and it's very quiet.

I bought this generator specifically to run the ac unit on my travel trailer. So far it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The design is super sleek, the feature such as remote start are top notch, and the unit is very quiet even when running the ac unit. So far it has been the perfect purchase

Perfect for our needs. Quiet, easy to use, push button start, USB ports, telescoping handle, everything you could need in an emergency. It was important for me (as the wife) to be able to use this, move it, set it up on my own as my husband is often called away during emergencies due to his work. Couldn’t be happier with this purchase.

I bought this generator in June and used over the 4th of July camping and on our camping trip to Montana. It worked great the whole time. It is extremely quiet and I had numerous other campers come ans ask me about it. It ran our air conditioner in our 28 foot travel trailer just fine. I rate this a 5 star!!!

Bought this for the house as I had to borrow one when the hurricane came through. I love the electric start but the dual fuel is more useful plus it starts so easy my 65 year old mom could do it. I bought 3 total and could not be more happy with my purchases.

I just purchased this Igen4500 and am completely satisfied with my purchase. It has amazing power output, packed into a small portable unit. It fits in my trailer outside pass through storage. Also the features are amazing. Digital readout, fuel gauge, timer, power output, etc. Extremely portable with wheels and carry handles. Quiet running. The build quality is better than comparable products. ONAN/Cummins 4500 Generator is the same unit, different branding.

After being on back order for much of the summer 2020, as soon as we received the email that it was again available, we ordered immediately. It was on our doorstep 2 business days later. Unpacked easy, simple start up instructions, and started on first push. Been running a couple of hours to break it in, drawing various items. All's looking good. Bought for use with our toy hauler RV w/ 15k AC, and also as home backup (have 7 fridges/freezers).

The machine will not start when it is cold. There is an electric choke that does not work on these models. your odds are 50/50 that you get a model that has this problem. I am going to start the process Monday. I will let you know how the customer service process is in future reviews.

The generator arrived on schedule and started right away after we unpacked it and filled fluids. There was some oil in the oil pan indicating it had been tested. The generator is very quiet and starts easily with either the pull or the self starter. The remote starter is great, since we can turn it on or off from inside the RV. It is an attractive unit and transports easily either on the wheels or by the convenient handle. There is a gas diverter built into it, where if you spill gas, it channels the fuel out and over the side, where it doesn't make a mess on the top of the generator. The power is sufficient to run the A/C units and all other power requirements of our single unit A/C. At 4500 peak Watts and 3700 Running, I believe it might be sufficient to run 2 A/Cs. It also has a USB charging port. I'm very happy with this unit.

Bought this for my travel trailer on the hunting lease because my Champion generator is louder than this Westinghouse model, yet offers less power. The remote and electric start features are also great (and easier on the arm/shoulder than a pull start)!
