This product checks all of the boxes. First and foremost remote start key fob. We wanted to able to start and stop the unit from inside our rig. This is also higher wattage on the inverter quiet portable generator class. This is easy to use and maintain with easily accessible hatch doors. This also has a great track record for being a product that has proven to be a quality generator over the long term. A little heavy to lift for one person, but the handles make it easy for 2 people to lift it. The collapsing handle make it easy to manuver around with good size wheels when the terrain is less than perfect.

I bought the iGen5000c a week ago. Manual was easy to follow. After following the instructions it started right away. This was an upgrade for me from a Honda with fuel gauge. The same price as what we paid for our Honda we get much better features. Fuel gauge, which is important. Along with bigger fuel tank, electric start, and remote. Love the pullhandle

My igen4500 arrived yesterday and the item was well packaged. The box had no damage like some other people have had. Filled it with oil and gas and it fired right up. Be careful when adding the last little bit of oil or it will overflow. Followed the break in procedure and ran my camper on it overnight. It has 18 hours on it with 0 issues.

Added gas and oil. The iGen4500 cranked up the first time with the remote right out of the box! It runs quiet as advertised. Sleek appearance with a small footprint. It is priced well compared to others in its class. The iGen4500 will work well for anyone who doesn't need to run a lot of high wattage appliances or equipment. It has several great features. I've only used it once and it worked well. So far so good!

My review of the iGEN4500 is based on owning a Westinghouse WH2400i prior to this purchase. The iGEN4500 is roughly twice the size physically and in power. The iGEN4500 has more bells and whistles; electric and remote start, larger fuel tank, stronger engine, and carrying handle. Unfortunately, the iGEN4500 did not improve on the oil filler location. It is still troublesome to fill and not get oil inside the compartment. Access the internal on the iGEN4500 is better than the WH2400i. All is necessary is to unscrew some screws and you are in. I'm torn on gas consumption, though. I could get 14 hours on 1.4 gallons of gas with the WH2400i, but I get 22 hours on 3.4 gallons of gas with the iGEN4500. I really wanted the electric start so I was willing to accept the higher gas usage of the iGEN4500, or at least I think I do. Now, the most recognizable difference has been in sound (loudness). I believe both the iGEN4500 and WH2400i have the same decibel rating but to my ears the iGEN4500 is noticeably quieter. I really despise companies marketing generators as quiet and/or super quiet. It has to be as stupidest as calling power banks solar generators. Generators are not quiet, but I will say the iGEN4500 , compared to the WH2400i completely took me by surprise. In my book, there are two wins in the iGEN4500 column, electric start and less generator noise. Just like the WH2400i, I do not plan to put many hours on the unit. It will only see occasional use. But it is nice to know I can move the unit easily outdoor, run an extension cord to wherever my load is, go back indoors, and use the remote start key fob. It will be equally nice to barely hear the generator running from indoors. I hope this guy will give me troublefree operation just as the WH2400i during it reign.

I bought this for my new camper. A must for any adventure!! After 2 weeks of research on 11 different models, this was the one. Added the oil, connected the battery and we were ready to go. Remote start? Heck yea!! Anybody can start this machine. Runs all night in the camp ground and does not bother a soul!!

We purchased this recently to swap out our Champion generator, as this had nearly double the power. It's about as quiet as the Champion, and we love that it can hold 3.5 Gallons of gas as well. The push start and fob is a nice bonus, but the LED panel is a gamechanger as it helps you know the exact amount of time it's been running which makes maintenance easier. So far so good.

Just got this and all good out of the box. Connected battery, added oil and gas and it started. BTW the oil amount and type is on the outside near the oil plug (but not in the manual). I tested it with a hair dryer and there was some hunting of rpm as the dryer cycled. Will test more later.

I just unpack this igen4500. it was missing the battery cover. I email for a replacement. we will see. I have a honda eu3000 and needed more power, the honda is a little quieter, but much heavier and twice the cost. and its hard to compare to a honda as for reliability considering I have not used it yet. i love the remote start and the auto choke.

I just recently purchased the iGen4500 to use with my RV when boon docking. It has the power to run everything in my camper with no issues. Very pleased with the performance and so pleasantly surprised with how quiet it is. When I am inside the RV I can barely hear it. If the A/C is on, I can’t hear the generator at all.
