Very quiet and easy to use

I have only used it three times so far. What I can say is it is very quiet which is exactly what I was looking for as I primarily plan to use it for camping. The handle and wheels make it easy to move. I really like the electric starter and the lights and display are simple. It runs my camper A/C with plenty of power to spare. All in all its just what I was looking for.

AWESOME GENERATOR

I bought this for my travel trailer. It runs a 15k btu ac unit, all lights and the microwave without breaking a sweat. Break in procedure advises using only 1500 watts. Every accessory on ,including the ac only registered 1300 watts. Super happy i bought something and it gives me what i need and more

Came, Started and Ran ...

We need a generator for occasional power outages in South Texas. So we looked at a number of units and finally decided to buy this unit. The price was almost too good to be true. It came by freight just two days later, we looked up the start-up procedure and had it running in 5 Minutes. We couldn't try it in the house because we needed a converter cable, but we hooked up the house two days later. The genset purred like a kitten and powered everything (not 240 v devices) at around 2500w with ocassional spikes up to 3600w. This generator can easily be moved around by one person, it has sturdy plastic panels and is really quiet. Love it.

So far so good

We purchased this recently to swap out our Champion generator, as this had nearly double the power. It's about as quiet as the Champion, and we love that it can hold 3.5 Gallons of gas as well. The push start and fob is a nice bonus, but the LED panel is a gamechanger as it helps you know the exact amount of time it's been running which makes maintenance easier. So far so good.

Quiet, compact and portable

I was concerned that the noise from any generator would bother my neighbors, but this generator is so quiet it won't disturb anyone (quieter than a distant-sounding lawn mower). I hooked up a 12,000 BTU portable air conditioner and then tried an 1,100 watt microwave, and this generator handled them each with no problem. Even though it weighs about 100 pounds, the wheels and handle make it easy to move around. It also isn't too large, which is nice for storage in my garage. The remote on/off feature is nice and the unit starts up easily with it. I live in Northern California where PG&E now shuts off power temporarily when there is a threat of fires during red flag conditions. It's good to be prepared now, in case that happens in my neighborhood in the future. I am pleased with my purchase and have already recommended this generator to others.

Excellent Value for a quite Generator

My brother-in-law bought one last year and I was impressed with it, then my neighbor bought one a few months ago. We all went primitive camping, and I had the oldest and loudest generator there. Seeing how this generator operates and many of the functions I decided to get one. Not disappointment at all, like how quite it is and does what I need for camping. Few features I didn't think I needed but really like, the remote start! That is nice for the mornings and don’t have to walk out of the camper to start it.

Good stuff but time will tell

Just got this and am pretty impressed. Plugged in to get a good battery charge and oiled it up where ran into the only issue so far. Too much oil in the can provided and difficult to catch the overflow so I ended up with excess oil on the garage floor. Would be nice to have an easier way to catch the overflow. Larger access door maybe to put a small pan under oil cap. Good stuff is I gassed it up, turned on the switches, pushed the remote control once and it fired right up. Plugged in the 5th wheel and turned on an AC unit and running fine. Time will tell if it keeps working as easy.

So far first impressions are good!

I purchased this to replace my Furman generator that has failed on me one too many times. Hard to find a generator That has remote start to run my little camp trailer. Hoping for better luck with this one. Was going to go with the Onan/Cummins, but then it was apparent to me that they are just labeled from Westinghouse at a more expensive price for the same thing.

Quiet with ample power

This replaces another brand 6500 watt low thd generator. This inverter is so much quieter and provides all the power I need to run the whole house necessities like the gas furnace and water heater the refrigerator and the freezer with enough left over to watch a lcd tv and a couple of lights.

Igen 4500 -

just arrived. Added oil, Gas and pressed the remote - Runs great. put it under load and it managed fine. I am upgrading a Yamaha 2400is for more Amps to run a travel trailer with multiple AC's, heat pumps etc . Surprised that its nearly the same weight though perhaps even quieter for nearly double to power and a lower price option. Fits under the trucks bed cover..
