Great for Camping

We bought this generator to supply power to our 33ft. camper. We just used it on a 4 day trip and couldn't be happier. We were able to run whatever we wanted and it used minimal gas. It is so quiet to use, you couldn't hear it beyond our campsite. I would definitely recommend it.

Inexpensive but good!

I bought this a couple of weeks ago and I'm so happy I did. I now have peace of mind knowing that I will be prepared the next a winter storm hits and we are left without electricity for a week. From the other reviews that I've seen, I should be well prepared.

Compact, quiet

I have had a Briggs & Stratton 5500 Watt Storm Responder for years. LOUD. The iGen4500 sound is so low that you can actually talk to someone right next to the unit while it is running without yelling. Perfect for campers to run the AC. The remote start is such a bonus.

Great generator value

I just purchased this generator as a replacement for my old Boliy. There is no comparison performance or feature wise between the Igen4500 and my old generator. The Igen4500 handles our trailer power requirements with ease unlike our old one. Features like the digital display and remote start being standard make using this generator a pleasure. The operating sound level under all loads is far quieter than any of our past "quiet" generators. Well worth the money!

Started First Try

My iGen4500 was delivered today, I put fuel and oil in it, turned the fuel switch on and waited for a minute for the fuel to drain into the carburetor bowl, turned the battery switch on and pressed start. It started the first try even not having fuel in it during shipping. Very satisfied so far!

Why have a remote?

I haven’t actually used it yet but got it ready and tested it prior to our cold winters. It seems to run and start just fine but the fact that it comes with a remote start FOB puzzles me. You still have to go out to the machine to turn the switch on or you will drain your battery. When you turn on the on switch it lights up which will drop power from the battery constantly as long as it is turned on where the battery dies. The instructions also say not to have anything plugged in to the generator when you start it so that’s another thing you have to be at the machine for. Use caution when putting the engine oil in. The bottle says .64 quarts but mine did not take the whole bottle.

iGen2200-Performs as Expected

Went back and forth on this one and the Honda quiet model. Choose to save the money. Purchased this generator a couple weeks ago and started it for the first time today. It runs great and is quiet. After I run it a few more hours I will probably have a better idea for how it performs beyond just the first use.

Love the way it is set up.

Just received this iGen4500c (one of two) and I love this set up. Poured the oil in, added some gas and hooked up the battery. A flip of the switch, a press of the button and it started right up. It ran smooth as silk immediately. Plugged it all kinds of power tools to vary the load and it did not skip a beat. I ran it for a 30 minute period to begin the break in. I was very happy with how quiet this beast is. Speaks softly and puts out a lot of power. Next I will hook this one to it's brother that I also just received (two of two) with the parallel hook up and run my 5th wheel trailer, which is why I bought two. I have no doubt they will handle everything just like they should. Control panel gives a lot of info, some info you don't notice at first. The fuel gauge and power output percentage are nice LED level gauges on both sides of LED readout gauge. The only two complaints I have is that gas consumption on LED gauge is only in liters and not gallons and that there are some sharp edges around the area where the battery goes. Scratched up my arm well but I have "old man skin".

Low noise level

We received our generator yesterday. It came when promised. My husband got everything ready. Added gas and oil. It fired right up. It’s easy enough for us to lift onto the back of our trailer. We fired it up while on the trailer. The noise and vibration level were better than the old predator. This generator was much easier to move because of the handle and bigger wheels

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.
