PURCHASED THIS LAST YEAR, HOWEVER, DUE TO LOCKDOWNS CAMPING WAS PUT OFF UNTIL THIS YEAR. OPENED THE BOX THIS YEAR FILLED WITH OIL AND GAS... FIRST PULL AND IT STARTED. AFTER LETTING IT RUN FOR AN HOUR WITH NO LOAD, I POWERED IT UP AGAIN AND PLUGGED IN OUR 30/50 AMP CAMPER/TRAILER. NOW FOR THE TEST. I TURNED ON THE MAIN AIR CONDITIONER AND YOU COULD HEAR THE GENERATOR NOW UNDER A LOAD. THEN TURNED ON THE REFRIGERATOR.THE GENERATOR POWERED BOTH ESSENTIALS WITH NO PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO THE GAUGE ON THE IGEN4500 IT WAS SHOWING 25% USAGE. THE NEXT TEST WAS HAVING THE WIFE COME OUT AND CHECK THE NOISE LEVEL. WITH THE GENERATOR ONLY 4 FEET FROM THE CAMPER AND THE BEDROOM LOCATION BEING RIGHT THERE THE NOISE WAS TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE FOR MY WIFE. THE NOISE WAS FINE WHILE IN THE CAMPER LIVING AREA, YOU COULD HEAR IT BUT IT WAS REALLY NOT NOTICABLE WHILE HAVING A CONVERSATION. IF THE GENERATOR WAS PLACED TOWARD THE REAR THE NOISE LEVEL, I'M SURE, WOULD BE EVEN LOWER. AFTER RUNNING THE IGEN4500 FOR OVER AN HOUR THE TRAILER WAS VERY COMFORTABLE AND THE REFRIGERATOR WAS WORKING FINE AND CHILLED. REALLY THE ONLY OTHER ITEM{S} THAT MIGHT BE USED WOULD BE SMALL ELECTRONICS. ACCORDING TO THE FRONT OF THE IGEN4500 THERE WAS MORE POWER AVAILABLE. AFTER ALOT OF RESEACH PRIOR TO MY PURCHSE, I AM SO PLEASED WITH THE IGEN4500. I WILL UPDATE MY REVIEW AFTER OUR SUMMER TRIPS AND WE PUT IT THROUGH THE ACTUAL CAMPING EXPERIENCE.

As other reviews stated this thing started on the second pull, right out of the box (after adding oil). Is also quiet. Will be putting this up against my bro-in-laws Honda EU 3000 next time we're out camping with the RV's. I feel he's going to lose, this is a 4500 watt and cost less than half. So far i'm a happy camper

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.

I bought this unit 2 month ago, and very pleased with the performance. Remote starter was must to have for me, it works great. The unit won't start without enough oil; this was the only issue I had: it's hard to figure out how much oil went in and its level. Other than that - it's a great product.

Came with everything I needed to get up and running. Charged battery and key fob for remote start. Started right up. It is so incredibly quiet, it gets louder under load but not much. Had it under 50% load in my RV with AC going and I could still have a conversation next to it. It’s very sturdy and nothing on it looks of feels cheap. I’ve been a Naval mechanical engineer for 20 years and I know junk when I see it. This thing is sure to provide power and reliability for years to come.

Unboxed the generator filled with oil and gasoline. Connected battery and tried to start. Battery was dead. Pulled hand crank and started on first try. I have used around the house and it is working great. Will change oil and get ready for some camping.

This machine seems well thought out. the most notable thing so far is an owners manual written in the language I speak with alot of detail. I put in oil, gas and plugged in the battery and it quickly fired up. the only issue that I could see is that the access doors for oil and the battery are a bit small for larger hands. I like the fact that the outlets are well protected from the weather.

I bought this for my fifth wheel for travel when power is not available. Very handy that I don't need a 30amp adapter and I don't have to mess with the choke like my other small generators I had, and I don't have to worry about paralleling 2 gens. This one has an awesome handle that comes out of the bottom in the front and I can move it easily by myself even through the gravel. I do need my husband to help me lift it on and off the rack on the back of my trailer but once it's there it stays there for the trip as it's around 110lbs. The remote start is great for early mornings when I want coffee but don't want to have to go out and pull start a couple of generators. It has remote start or push button start, auto choke so you don't have to mess with that, and if all else fails you can pull start it. Noise level is nice - quieter than my 2 small gens that I had paralleled even under load. The digital displays are nice for knowing just where you are at. Very happy with the purchase so far.

We bought this for our pop up camper so needed to be sure it was quiet enough to run without waking us. Had an issue when we first unboxed the unit. Called customer service and they had it fixed within minutes. GREAT SERVICE!! Took it for our first trip, ran smooth and quiet, no further issues.

I recently purchased the generator. After the quick set up, I started the unit up and ran it for 30 minutes. There were no problems. The features are easy to use. I like the look, telescopic handle, and remote startup. Then I ran the generator under load of various appliances of 120v. Also, the 30amp receptacle for the RV performed well. I am looking forward to using it for seasonal camping.
