Fair rating

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.

Excellent generator - value for money

I bought this a week ago to use during emergency situation to ensure operating my key essential devices like sump pump, freezer, fridge, charging mobile phone and wi fi. So i bought this IGen 4500 to have relatively smaller generator, with reasonable weight easy start Manual are very clear , steps of operation are explained simply in several language The generator itself has relatively low sound compared to other generators available in the market You can start the generator through three ways, pull , button or remote control The generator comes with engine oil yet of course you need to buy the gasoline and gasoline stabilizer. Very high quality and operate for 18 hours with one tank fill … highly recommended if u need a reliable generator for emergency situation

Wow!

I upgraded from a Honda 2000 that I didn't use all that much since I got a lot of power from my solar panel and inverter. BUT I am full time and love to boondock and now I can use my AC in the summer.....yay!! I have tested it with the AC on, Fridge on and microwave on....no problem!!!

Long run time on 1 tank

Bought for ice fishing love the remote start and how fast it starts. I ran 18 hrs on a single tank of gas way better then my cheap out one. Bought the bigger model to use for running my A/C on my fish house for summer camping can't wait to see what the run time will be doing that

Trying this again

We purchased this item this month,. We had bought another one and had to return it after only 21 hours of run time. We are hoping to have better luck with this one as far as anything else we would leave a review when we have had a chance to use it awhile in hopes that we don't have any problems.

Awesome Generator

Connected the battery, added oil & gas... it fired right up at the push of a button. Runs great and super quite. Unit generates enough juice to run EVERYTHING in my 18' camper at once including the 13500 BTU AC with plenty of power to spare. Eco mode ensures that I don't burn fuel unnecessarily by throttling down when extra power isn't needed. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.

Runs fine out of box, easy set up

I haven't had prolonged use, but so far so good! I conditioned it with a couple of oil changes, and the unit seems great! I only rated 4 stars because I have not had a chance to use it for a prolonged period. I ran it next to my Honda 2000i and it seemed slightly more quiet than the Honda! Overall, so far, happy with the purchase.

Love it

I bought this on 4/5 and it showed a couple days later. It fire up when i put oil and gas in it the very first time. I took it camping and had issues with the choke like most of these have I took it home and tore into and found the plug behind the control panel wasn't routed correctly,rerouted over top of the loom and works perfectly.

The iGen5000c is exactly the generator I wanted

I was looking for an inverter generator that was quiet yet powerful enough to provide home backup for a gas furnace, some appliances and key lighting circuits. I had looked at other brands but they were either more or less powerful than I needed or weren't in my price range. I read a review of this model in consumer reports and decided this is the unit I need. It's VERY quiet, more so than I was expecting. Setup was very straight forward but a little messy (I overfilled the oil). And it started right up. Time will tell but so far I am really pleased with this purchase.

Great Features + Remote start

I made this purchase after my brother purchased this about two weeks ago. The generator is quiet and handles heavy loads well. The quality of the unit along with the directions and supplied accessories shows the quality of a Westinghouse product.
