I'm giving 5 stars for the igen 4500 although I just received it and just got it running. Arrived on time with no damage put the oil in but not entire bottle as there was already oil in it. Hooked up the battery gave it a drink of fresh gas pushed the button and off it went. The remote worked as well and will be nice if the wife needs to use it. Overall very happy but time will tell.

I purchased this particular Inverter generator because of how much power it produces vs cost. It's much cheaper then the Honda's of the world (not saying they are bad just out of my budget. For now). So far it's seems like it will do exactly what I need which is to power my house (minus the 220 loads) items that I will need during a power outage. The newest model does have an hour meter in the digital display. I don't care that the 30 amp plug is upside down or not. Just use a bungee cord or coat hanger around the handle to relieve cord strain and this will keep it plugged in nice and tight. Only have had it a few weeks so can't comment on durability but I bought it for the price and the electric start (other family members come to my house during a hurricane so this allows them to start it) so time will tell

Very impressed with this generator. It is quiet and easy to start with just the press of a button. I never knew how much I would like the remote start until I was working on the second floor and this feature saved me countless trips up and down stairs. The efficiency mode is great at saving gas and will probably even extend the life of the unit.

The iGen 4500 inverter generator fits the bill perfectly for my needs. I am 74 yrs old and live in a modest size home. The generator runs very quiet compared to an open frame generator. A feature I'm sure my neighbors will appreciate when running. It provides enough power to run my lights, refrigerator , 8000 BTU window A/C and blower for my gas central air heater which would have been nice to have had during our power blackout here in Texas during that terrible freeze. Now as I mentioned at the start, I'm 74 and my health isn't what it use to be. No longer able to tote around heavy generators anymore. This little guy comes with two wheels in the back and a telescoping handle tucked under the front panel that makes moving it around easy. Another huge plus in my book is the ability to run 15 to 18 hrs on a 3.4 gal tank of gas!

Bought this generator after considering many other brands. I am very happy with it. I checked the wire connection for the choke to see if it was one of those that were unplugged but mine was ok. I use it at a racetrack where others are also using generators and this one was the most quiet of all these. It ran all day and was good on fuel and gave plenty of power for my needs. Good product.

We are big NASCAR fans and it will go with us to all races & all other camping trips that we have to be self contained. One question please...my husband wanted the generator cover & it didn't give me an option for it as a free gift. Can I get it instead of the power strip? Thank you.

I have had nothing but problems with this generator. I bought it to use with my RV. Fron the beginning, the run-time readout didn’t wotk and it kept tripping offline under light load. I finally took it in for warranty repairs and found out that inly the parts are civered under warranty, but, the labor is the big expense. The repair shop was not avke yo get the run- time indicator working after replacing parts and many hours of labor. They suggested that i “just look in the tank” to see how much fuel is left. I am now on an RV trip and can’t get the generator started. Spend the extra miney and buy a reliable generator. Don’t get stuck with a piece of junk that won’t start when you need it!

We bought this for camping. Power’s everything it should: a/c, fridge, everything. So much quieter than our older generator. We can actually have a conversation standing next to the running iGen4500. Starts so easy. The remote is really going to change things, too.

I bought this generator the end of October so we could spend more time in the desert with my kids and grand kids. Powered everything in the RV including the A/C with no problems. Very quiet also convenient and maneuverable with the extension arm. Worked very well for our needs.

It is exactly what I expected ... decently built and very quiet. Started right up after putting in gas,oil and connecting battery.. Runs very smooth and starts easy, can't even hear it .. had lots of power .. the oil will overflow if you use all of the bottle like it says ..very satisfied so far
