Awsome and quite unit!!

I purchaced this unit a month ago and I am so glad I did. Thankfully our weather has not knocked out our power yet but at least I have piece of mind that we are prepaired for when the time comes. Compared to my older open unit this unit is very quite and can handle our esentials when needed.

Auto choke problem

This generator checked all the boxes for me including wireless starting, quiet, large fuel tank. Because of my extensive research I was well aware of the problem with the auto choke. Since I am capable of fixing it, I went ahead and bought it. Mine did have the problem with the disconnected auto choke wire as well as my connector was broke. After I fixed the connector the generator ran fine. I did the proper break in which includes installing a magnetic oil dipstick and running the generator under various loads drain oil and repeat. The pictures below show the metal particles that were collected by the magnetic dipstick during the break in. Look forward to many years of service.

More Power

Bought this gen. to replace my old one that I couldn't get parts for.This one has 1000 more watts and weighs about the same. took it out of the box put gas & oil in and it started right up. Would have given it 5 stars put the oil drain is a pain in the(donkey) to get at

Excellent features, packaged nicely!

I am excited to try out this new inverter generator. Right now we have been using a regular generator and cannot use it for extended periods because it's so loud. I love the fact that it has push start option, and on off remote fob. The eco feature is awesome, too.

choke issues otherwise would give 5 stars

Auto choke sticks. Cannot start without removing side panel and manually adjusting choke. Once it is running I love it. As I am removing the panel NOT so much. Runs my 13500 btu AC, fridge, lights just fine. 30 amp rv. Panel reads about 50% with AC and fridge. Have not used microwave yet.

Very Happy!!!!!

I bought the Igen 4500 a little less than a month ago. I am extremely happy with the features and the performance of this machine. I had some questions about machine operations and I used the chat option to have my questions answered and it was quick and easy. I'm looking forward to a very rewarding summer on the road and having the option of staying in campgrounds that do not have electric.

Easy to start and quiet

The pull, button and remote started it right up. The manual says nothing about an hour meter, but it says on the front of the generator that it has one. We haven't ran it enough for it to register any time yet. It's flashing 0000s. We put an external one on it, so we'll see if it's accurate or not. We're still breaking it in, but it seems to have plenty of power and it's very quiet.

Tons of features for price point.

I bought this generator specifically to run my sump and refrigerators during power outages. So far it has exceeded my expectations in every way. The design is super sleek, the feature such as remote start are top notch, and the unit is very quiet. Highly recommended.

So far so good

Opened it and followed the setup and there have been zero issues running my camping trailer. The AC runs great and this generator doesn't struggle to handle it at all. It's quiet and 1000 times better than my old generator that I only got 2 good years of use out of.

Great Generator

Great generator. Great value. In the box comes oil, a funnel, and a tool kit. Just provide the fuel and you are good to go. This thing has been great. Make sure to read the instructions!! You need to break it in at less than 25% load for 5 hours before you really use it. Also a fuel stabilizer is recommended. Treat it right and it will treat you right!
