Quiet, Powerful and Easy to Start. One issue though

Only had one month. Have not used it other than for familiarization of unit ( Starting, Letting it run, Applying electrical loads to it etc.). Right out of the box the LED gas gauge was not working properly. It read half full when completely full and empty when below actual half full. As of now Westinghouse it taking care of issue. It happens. Starts quickly and is as quiet as a Honda.

Quiet Running, Clear Controls, Well Engineered

This Inverter Gererator took 20 days to be delivered due to its high demand. Well worth the wait. Very quiet and enough power to keep my house functioning in an emergency. The controls are very clear and the well thought out and the remote start is a bonus.

Worth every dollar!

The Igen4500 is superior to other gen’s in its class. It’s quiet, starts easily and has a long run time. When you purchase this go ahead and order the high altitude kit. You will need if you are above 2000ft . I would have given it 5 stars if the high altitude kit was included.

Great little generator that is ideal for my RV

I received my IGen4500 yesterday. Unpacked it and added oil and gasoline after installing the battery, Started right up. Ran it in my shop on a shop fan for a couple hours on and off. Next morning it would not run. The wire that controls the choke was unplugged. After correcting this it is starting right up every time. Like it.

Great Features, Easy Setup

I bought this generator a couple weeks ago. I was able to set up fairly quickly. It worked great for our RV trailer, lasted a pretty good while with the a/c running, tv, refrigerator running. It only shut off once from the CO2 due to the cover, falling over the back.

Best generator ever, reliable and low gas use.

We got this generator a week before Texas winter storm. It got us thru 3 days and nights without power. We connected our fridge, freezer, microwave, lights. The gas consumption is very low: 5 gl. , lasted 26 hours of continuous use. Besides, you do not hear it. The best generator we have ever had. Totally recommended

Just received, and so far its great!

Just received mine today. Box was in good shape. After purchase I did find some of those stories about the auto choke issue. I did research and easily googled a service bulletin with pictures and instructions on how to check or fix the issue easily. I took the covers off before doing anything and all the connections in the bulletin were secure. I added the supplied oil....The directions say pour entire bottle in, which I now do not recommend...LOL...it was a little too much, likely because there is some residual oil from the testing....I would put 3/4 and then go slow until at proper level.....after that I easily connected battery, added gas and pushed start....started right up....The Auto Choke disengaged after 5-10 seconds and it ran great..... let it warm up a minute and then turned on economy mode.....wow it is quiet!.... Hopefully, it will be a reliable item on our camping adventures.....

Very Quiet and Started Easily

I purchased this on Amazon.com and it was delivered in two days. After adding the oil, fuel and connecting the battery it started on the first try. It is very quiet for a gasoline engine and in Eco mode it is as quiet as a house fan. The generator comes with everything except gasoline.

Great generator for the price!

Only reason I didn't give it a 5 star was because I had to call the help line to have the troubleshooting done over the phone before I could return it. Sure enough it was the automatic choke that had gotten disconnected during shipping so once I tore the sides off I could see the disconnected wires. Apparently this is a common problem with this unit since it's a tight fit inside. By adding 1-2" of wire for some slack seems like it would solve the problem. Otherwise I'm very pleased with the purchase

Quiet and powerful

I bought this for emergency home back up use. This generator is surprisingly quiet (for a generator). I really like that it provides details on fuel level and time remaining as well as wattage and run time. I wish that it was easier to fill and drain the oil but that's really the only quibble that I can think of. Overall, it seems to be a great generator and great value.
