I purchased the generator online and it arrived today. I had some trouble with getting it running correctly but it finally started idling smoothly. I added the full container of oil it came with just like it said, put about a gallon of fuel in it and started it up. Initially it smoked pretty bad and ran rough. I turned it off and back on a few times and let it run for about 30 minutes. My guess is that it had a small amount of gas left in it for awhile from when it was tested at the manufacturer and it was just a small amount bad gas in the system. Hopefully it continues to run smoothly.

From the time I took it out of the box to running it to keep our coach powereed up for 1 week in Glamis CA it has not failed to provide all the power required for our motorhome. We ran the residential refrigerator, lights, and air conditioner and it handled everything. The wireless remote for starting it in the morning (to get the coffee maker running) without getting out of bed works great! I highly recommend this generator.

Did a lot of research and read all the reviews and decided on the igen 4500. WOW!!!! Glad I didn't spend the 5K on a Honda. This thing is just a quiet and the operation and instructions are easy to manage. Love it and can't wait to actually make use of it

I purchased the Igen4500 to replace an older,smaller conventional generator. Set up was easy after reading the manual completely first. The generator started right up and I ran it for a half hour or so. It's really quiet compared to the conventional generator. It's primary function will be to supply backup power after a Hurricane. So, it will be a while (hopefully never) before any long term usage. I do not however expect any problems because of the build quality.

I PURCHASED THIS A WEEK AGO AND RAN IT FOR THE MOST PART AT A REMOTE HUNTING CAMP. FIRST OF ALL I COME FROM A PAST OF USING SOME GREAT HONDA GENERATORS AND WAS SCEPTICAL OF GETTING FROM THAT LINE BUT I MUST SAY THAT SO FAR I'M IMPRESSED WITH THE FEATURES THAT I GET WITH THIS NEW IGEN4500.

The generator worked great for less than an hour, then it would shut down. This occurred several times, and we called customer service. As is typical nowadays, it took several days to get a response. On the plus side, when we finally were directed to a certified repair shop, the service was quick, the problem was diagnosed as a manufacturing defect, and a replacement generator was sent immediately. We have yet to use the replacement, but are hopeful it works well.

We bought this generator for very specific reasons so we could power our RV. And every one of the specs that we needed work better than expected. On Eco mode, this generator runs extremely quiet! With Eco mode off the power is more than enough for our needs. The push button start works like a dream! We highly recommend this to anyone looking for a dependable generator with high output.

I bought this generator for a backup to run my electronics and it works perfectly, when I tried to crank it for the first time it wouldn’t start but I pulled the cover off and drained the old stale gas it had and it cranked right up and works great since then!

Love love love this generator. It runs my horse trailer with no problems. The best part is being able to lay in bed and turn it on and off. I stay warm and toasty while my friends have to get dressed and face the cold before their first cup of coffee. It is very economical on gas too. I can lift it alone and the wheels are a huge advantage too. It is perfect in every way. I camped for 10 days without any issues, while I had 2 friends with generators that had issues. I recommend it highly!

This generator was packed quite well for shipping and all included parts were in the box as they should be. The fit and finish and quality of the product is evident. I researched quite a few reviews before buying this product and am happy i did so for use on my boat. Hope to enjoy it this spring and summer boating season. Good choice.
