Greatest purchase ever!

We bought this to go camping with for our RV. We used it to recharge the battery, run the a/c on high, outdoor fridge and a few misc. plugged in items. It definitely didn't let us down. It did all that and I am pretty sure it can take more! It is very quiet compared to some models and regular generators.

Good over all.

Only issues I had were that it ws difficult to tell when I had filled it with the proper amount of oil, and getting the battery cables connected together was very difficult because of the tight space, sharp edges of the case, and very short leads that it made it difficult for the very tight plug.

Quiet and Powerful

I bought this generator as a product referred by a friend. We go to dirtbike races and everyone "circles the wagons" with their campers. Proud to say I'm not the loudest generator running now. It is quiet for sleeping in the RV as well as powerful enough to run the ac and microwave with no issues.

Quite satisfied so far

I just set this up and tried it out. It is very easy to operate and is even quieter than I thought it might be. I'm impressed they got this much wattage to come out of a unit as quiet and relatively light as this is. I have not used it in action with the Airstream yet but am confident it will work fine. I read some of the negative reviews before I ordered this (I find the best info can come from the negative reviewers as long as you can distinguish the ones that know what they're doing from the ones that don't know what they're talking about or just want to whine). It seems the worst complaint was having to manually adjust the choke if you were restarting the unit warm. They must have fixed that issue because I could not duplicate it. If anything changes for the worse once tested "under fire", I will update this review accordingly. Summary, thus far this is a great unit that performs as claimed. A great value and highly recommended

So reassuring to have

We had a week long power outage and our friend let us borrow her Westinghouse generator (the size smaller) and it was a lifesaver. We purchased the iGen4500 and it is easy to move and store in the garage, able to run the heater and light for hours and we're really happy to have this going forward.

Exceptional Value!

I purchased this generator for our 24' travel trailer. I was very impressed with the features has. It has a 30 amp outlet that's perfect for our travel trailer making it a simple connection. The standard 110 outlets and USB outlets allows us to run and charge all our electronics safely. The amount of power this generator supplies is more than enough for our needs and is almost twice the power of other manufacturers at an even lower cost. I am extremely happy with my purchase. I am deeply disappointed that you do not offer a cover as I live in a very dusty dirty environment. I would have chosen it as my bonus item. Please consider making one available and I feel it would be another excellent selling point when customers decide what brand generator to buy.

Poor Quality Control

I just purchased this Generator and opened the box. I filled with oil and gas and read all the instructions. The first time starting the generator, I noticed fuel leaking from the bottom. I opened the side panel and noticed fuel leaking from the carburetor fuel bowl. I checked the bolt and it was tight. I took the bold holding the fuel bowl off and saw that the gasket was pinched and not inserted correctly. I flattened out the gasket and put the fuel bowl back on. I started the generator and let it run for 5 minutes with no leaks. I'm glad I was not out in the field using it for the first time when this happened. So far the Generator is quieter than I expected and runs smoothly. I will have a better opinion after running the unit for a while.

Working perfectly

Everything arrived fine. Filled up and hit the remote start button and it started 1st time! Pulls 11A well pump while my 10A heat pump, some lights, a 3.5A dehumidifier are already running. Performing exactly as I would hope. Note that this unit is quieter than my Champion Power 3100W gen at every load from 0 to 100%. This report is with about 95 hours so far in an RV setting.

Nice Generator!

I got this a month ago and got it all ready to go ,and turned the gas on and it started leaking gas onto my bench. On inspection, who ever put the clamp on the fuel line to the on off switch , tore the hose at the connection. I cut that section off and had enough hose left to reconnect and problem solved. Used it on our camper last weekend and it worked flawlessly, and quietly. Love it!!!

Easy to use

I just got my generator and hooked it up to run the fridge and a space heater. I worked perfect and did not even bog down. So I hooked up a circular saw too. It has plenty of power to do what I want I will plug in my furnace when I get a power cord installed on it. Nice modern product. Quiet enough during the daytime
