bought this igen4500 to replace an aging mge5800 backup generator that’s 20 years old and very noisy. After the recent and numerous Sonoma County fires, I needed a replacement generator that my wife could also operate with ease. The igen4500 gives the ease of starting with the remote start plus the telescoping handle allows my wife and I to move the igen4500 without hesitation. No longer will our ears have to suffer the noise that our reliable mge5800 made through our forced 6 day power shutdown by PG&E. We have the quietness and the needed power supply from igen4500 for any future needs. My wife was absolutely thrilled that she could operate the igen4500 by herself. Her smile said it all.

Bought this as a backup to run a mobile audio testing unit. It is wonderfully quiet, even running at full capacity with the eco switch off. The lit power meter on the front is actually quite useful in making sure the generator isn't being overloaded. Well constructed overall, and the case is sealed nicely. My only concern so far is the battery access cover is a bit too small and makes connecting/disconnecting or replacing the battery a tricky maneuver.

I purchased this for a 27' toy hauler to power while we're boondocking. I've barely just started the generator, but it appears to be running smoothly and powering things just fine. I've owned open frame generators in the past, but this is my first inverter generator, and I will say, this thing is ridiculously quiet. I like the digital gauge and the easy to read panel. The only downside so far is that the oil fill is fairly tucked away inside of the unit and it can be tough for people with larger hands to screw and unscrew the dipstick. A fairly minor complaint.

Generator started immediately but would not get to speed due to choke. Found the Westinghouse tech note on the problem, easy fix, remove cover and reconnect wiring harness. Apparently not connected at factory. Beside this issue, I have no complaints and highly recommend it.

We searched several generators and finally decided on the igen4500 based on its price, power and lower operating noise level. Bought this for our camper and we needed something that would deliver 3600 watts continuously, we got 3700 and 4500 surge power for less than half of what Big Red's 2000 watt portable costs. Remote start was a bonus as well. Extremely pleased with this unit so far.

Picked up this generator for my travel trailer. Plenty of power with room to spare for my trailer. Love the remote start, no more getting out of the trailer to start up the generator. Nice and quiet too, even with a load on it. But at idle, very very quiet, and even more so with the eco mode turned on. All and all I'm very happy with this unit.

Unit works good for what we will be using it for. Will run everything on my 5th wheel trailer we need on at a time. Very quiet unit. The only bad thing, I can say is about the filling and changing the oil is a pain. Hard to see how much oil your putting in the unit. To change the oil, the unit must be tipped. If you spill the oil ends up in areas which make it hard to clean up and drips onto the ground. You would've thought engineers or designers would've done a better job

being a mechanic, I had the fore thought to order a carb jet kit since I would be using this at high altitude. found detailed instructions online and installed in a half an hour. installed battery, added gas and oil, and generator fired right up. Only have 10 hours on it at this point, but I am very pleased!

I purchased a few weeks back after our first serious storm of the season that has us out of power for several days. Was delivered in 2 days. Easy setup, up and running within 30 minutes. Tested with various appliances, lights, etc. plenty of power for all. Ready for the next storm!!! Highly recommend.

Very quiet Inverter Generator, plenty of power with a 4500 peak watts and 3700 running watts with a 30 AMP NEMA TT-30R that easily runs the essentials in my Home for power outage without problems. Very convenient to have dual fuels and a remote start, so I can be able to start my Generator without having to go out under the rain.
