Bought to go camping and any power outages at home. Started right up after adding oil, fuel and battery. Is quieter than I expected. Only complaint so far is the small access panels for battery and oil dipstick. I don't even have large hands and was troublesome to screw dipstick back in after adding the oil.

Every feature you could want: Long run time (21 hrs on econ. mode), same loudness to Honda of equal size, Pull start, Elect. start AND Remote start. Not heavy (for me) at 100lb witout the 3.6 gallon gas fuel tank. A beautuful color (blue), Two handles and a pull bar with wheels. Battery included with a bottel of 10w30 oil. Easy instructions, written in understandable English. Very infomative digital readout of engine/power performance.

I've been RVing since 2007. I've had Ohan propane that came with my 2007 5th wheel. Sucked down 30lbs propane tank in 3 hours. Last year in my 2017 I bought A champion 7500 to run everything. My mistake to buy such a large unit. My new Gen4500 Runs everything I turn on, which is what I wanted. Only problem I had was I put the fuel switch in closed position when first trying to start. 4* outside so I was thinking great won't start in cold weather. Grabbed the starting direction and read them again. relized the problem as I went through the steps. Turn the gas on, hit the start button, BOOM auto choked and started. Hooked up power to my rv. One item at a time I turned on, speed increased as the load request grew. I was sure I turn something on and it would pop a circuit. I was wrong. Runs like Westinghouse built it too. Very impressed. I'm hoping my bonus cover I chose will be a good fit. We'll see when it gets here.

I bought this unit 2 month ago, and very pleased with the performance. Remote starter was must to have for me, it works great. The unit won't start without enough oil; this was the only issue I had: it's hard to figure out how much oil went in and its level. Other than that - it's a great product.

I had a Predator 3500 which didn't quite cut it, it couldn't handle the power my trailer required. My friend had an igen4500 which she let us use for over 70 running hours, and it worked perfectly and handled the load with zero hiccups. Turns out she even forgot to change the oil after breaking it in, so it was running on the original oil the generator came with (bad idea), but it still ran perfectly! I bought one for myself a week later and mine has been working flawlessly.

Very easy set up (I'm a widow and on my own and was concerned about being able to handle it by myself). It's pretty heavy (about 100 lbs.), but I was able to get it out of the box with only a few grunts. The directions were clearly explained for the initial set-up and it even came with the oil needed. I haven't run it yet, but am confident that it'll be exactly what I need.

Would not crank at 1st. I checked spark plug & it was fine (must use included spark plug tool) then I opened the dran screw on bottom of carb to let fuel flow. After all the air bubbles came out it crank fine & has done fine since. Runs my camper just fine.

This is my second iGen 4500. The first had multiple problems, the start/stop button did not work which meant the electric start and remote start did not work, lastly the engine would not start with the pull cord. After all that why would I get a second one? Well I found a lot I like with the first one cleanable/reusable foam air filter, dip stick had oil on it so I know it had been run at the factory, its compact size, fuel, time to empty, and amp gauge, and eventually once I got it started its quietness I was able to not starting with the pull cord after cleaning the spark plug and removing a several large chunks of carbon from the spark arrester, that's when I discovered not only did the start button not work but also the stop button, I was able to kill the engine by turning off the fuel, another feature I like. Although I disassembled the main control panel looking for a loose wire causing all the other problems, I never found a loose or not attached wire, which is why I returned it and promptly ordered another one. The second one came in and worked like a champ. After letting it break it with several small and medium loads for two hours (Which the manual does not say needs to be done) I hooked it up to my dual AC 50amp trailer. It worked excellent. If it is running with less than 1000watts load it is very very quiet. A 20" box fan makes more noise than the iGen. Two people could stand next to the iGen and carry on a conversation without raising their voices. Very impressive. Now once you give it a serious load it does make a little more noise as expected. Next while the iGen had nearly 2000watts of load on it (hot water heater, battery charger and idle state on the tv, microwave etc., I started the 15000 BTU AC unit and the iGen handled it fine in 93 degree weather, after five minutes I tried the second AC unit and the iGen overload kicked in (as I expected but I had to try) Although my experience started out very poorly I am very pleased with my working iG

Bought October 2020. I have used it only 5 times so far and it has run great and starts easy. Good on gas, like the remote start. Suppose to get down to 10 degrees in Houston Tx. this week and they are talking about rolling blackouts being possible. If it happens I know the IGEN4500 will be ready for the task.

I did a lot of shopping around to find an affordable generator in my price range with all of the features I needed. The iGen4500 met all of my requirements. Did some review searching and found there was a problem with the auto choke. Watched a very detailed YouTube video showing how to connect the missed wire. Decided that I could fix it if it was a problem. Pulled the generator out of the box and followed all of the prep steps, fueled it up and used the included remote to start it. It cranked right up on the first push and choke worked just fine. Attached it to my camper and it handled the load just perfectly. I am very pleased with my purchase.
