Upgrade

Upgrading from two westinghouse 2200's. Hopefully this 4500 will provide longer run time with the camper. Easy setup(careful filling the oil up for the first time, it will not take 0.6L and make a mess.) . Fires right up and quiet. A slight variation in RPM at idle speed. Maybe this is normal. The operation panel is easy to use. Should be a great generator.

Very Quite

I wanted to get as small and quite a generator that would provide power during emergencies for my home. I started up after a few attempts and it was very quite and for the power very maneuverable with the telescoping handle. Be careful adding the oil when setting up or you'll make a big mess. Go slow and check to see if it is emptying from fill plug so it doesn't overflow too much. I have not had the chance to use it to power anything yet, but turns on and all the functions seem to work so far. I'll have to put it through it's paces before the next power outage to make sure it handles the load I want it to.

Excellent Value

I just purchased this generater for my new camper. Unit was delivered quickly. Followed the setup directions and it started right up. Very quiet. I do notice that the description of the Data Center functions in the manual differ slightly from what is actually shown. Found another manual version online that shows correct functions. I am very pleased and look forward to using it this weekend.

Automatic choke issues

I purchased this generator a month ago. First time took it camping it started twice and then did not start. It would go through the two start cycles and not start. I contacted customer support and was told to tap the carb because of a possible stuck float. When I removed the cover one of the plastic alignment pins broke or was broke. I soon noticed that there was a screw on the automatic choke that was not just loose but extended out about and inch. I tightened all the screws and and it started up and has worked great ever since. It just sucks that I had to work on a brand new item and in the process the side cover broke. If it were not for the choke issue I would have given this item 5 stars. It currently has been running excellent and the remote is a great option when camping.

Review is for WH2200iXLT which works great

This is the wrong generator. Mine wasn't listed in the drop down box. I bought the WH2200iXLT and it works great. Starts by the second pull and runs for hours. I put it to the test for two weeks in the upper peninsula of Michigan. I had to charge deep cycle batteries to run my biPAP machine and even used it for a toaster. Also, ran some lights while the batteries were charging. Never any problem.

Starts so easily

We just bought this and I (the wife) unpacked and prepped it to run. It was very easy to set up and started on first try with electric start button. We ran it for over two hours with different appliances attached and ran great and quietly. I hope it keeps this up, if so we will be so happy!!

Awesome features and really Quiet

I just bought this Generator followed instructions put oil and gas in and it started right up. It is amazingly really quiet can hardly hear it running. Love the blue color and easy to move around due to the wheels and hand bar that's attached. My favorite part is the keychain to auto start lol love it. Thx :)

Compact but powerful

I bought this generator to use for my travel trailer. I like that this generator is small enough to travel with but provided enough power to run everything I need in the trailer. It has nice handles to lift it into the truck and the wheels make it nice to move it around. The remote start makes it nice to start up without having to go outside!

so far, so good

Just arrived, survived shipping intact and appears ready to go. Instruction seems clear, will add gas/oil in the next few days and buy properly sized extension cords before giving it a test run. Was looking for a quality mid-range sized generator to run sump pump and refrigerator/freezer during next power outage...I think this one will get it done without worrying about being undersized.

Quiet and Great on Fuel

I just recently purchased my 2nd iGen4500. The first one was for my pull behind camper. It was very quiet, easy to start and ran all night running my AC on 3/4 of tank of gas. I sold my Camper and the buyer purchased the generator with it. So I just purchased a replacement for my new RV.
