We bought this after looking at reports and reviews on a site. Bought this one mainly because it had the highest power rating and the lowest noise rating (52dba). While it is pretty quite, 52 dba is not as quite as I thought, but still, we could not hear it running from inside the house or on the other side of the house. We only plan to run this in a power outage, so I doubt anyone would complain during that time. I tested a bunch of stuff running at the same time: Refrigerator, sander, shop vac, and some lights. No problems with this load. The eco mode is nice. makes it run a little more quietly. We intend to use this to charge a couple of big batteries during a power outage. Those will be swapped back and forth for inside use. That way, we only need to run the generator long enough to charge a battery.

Great little generator! I had it for about 2 weeks when the power went out from a tropical storm, fired right up and ran it for about 11 hours straight and it still had 5 hours of gas left. Really quiet and powerful, I couldn't even hear it running inside the house.

Recent power outages and a neighbor's recommendation spurred me to acquire this quiet and user-friendly generator for the next emergency. Setup and operating instructions are clear. The 3 starting options are helpful, and the remote start worked flawlessly.

I bought this generator for a camping trip without power at the beach and it worked great. Nice and quiet with remote start and stop. Plan on taking with me on my summer camping trips and don't have to worry about not having power or being to loud for people camping nearby.

Bought this earlier this week and started the recommended break-in period this evening. Easy to prepare to run, easy to change the oil. Started 1st pull. Remote worked 1st try from 25 feet. Push button start worked as advertised. Oil change at 1 hour of only normal idle/no load; had some noticeable silver metal shavings. I will run a second hour at idle, then 30 minutes under the load of Travel Trailer's AC and change the oil again and be ready for the summer travels..

Got the oil added and connector prepared as required to connect to my “off the grid” cabin. It started right up and powered everything as expected. Noise level seems the same as my older Honda ES3000i inverter which this unit is replacing. Remote start works flawlessly. After 8 hours of operation I am very pleased with this unit!

I ordered this generator to power up my RV when I'm Boon-docking, it works like a charm, powering my microwave, air-conditioner and functioning as if I were connected to shore-line. I cannot believe how quiet this unit is, very quiet! The Control Panel is easy read, easy access. This generator is a powerhouse little package and easy to move using the retractable handle. I love the remote star feature, no need to step outside in the morning to start it up, just click the remote. It seems as though all the things that a camper would like or need was considered when designing and engineering this unit. I would also mention that a simple thing like a funnel to fill the unit with motor oil has been provided and it is threaded on the end that goes into the oil fill, ensuring a clean, neat installation. Little things like this along with the performance of this generator make this unit a number one choice in it's field.

I bought this for the sole reason of not wanting to have multiple generators to power our camper. I have to say the IGen4500 runs everything with out a problem. It's easy to use and large enough to keep things running in the house if my main generator fails. The best part is the price compared to other that are half the power!

Bought this for my boat and I continually get comments about how quiet it is, which is very important when you are out in nature. Had a little trouble at first with one of the internal gears sticking but it hasn't been a problem since. Also, it only shuts off when I turn off the fuel which takes a few minutes but is not an issue. I like how solid it is and doesn't take up a lot of space.

Just purchased the generator last week everything was well packed. Can't wait to start it up. Easy set up. Owners manual is clearly written and seems to cover each operational step plus maintenance. Love the electric start. Good looking generator. Ready for hurricane season.
