I recently purchased the iGen4500 and so far am very pleased with it. It is loaded with features, easy to start, quiet and compact. My only suggestion for improvement so far would be to make the oil fill a bit easier to access. The unit did come with a screw-in funnel tube that makes the job of adding oil easier.

We bougth this in June to use while camping . I was amazed at the amount of power this could put out and the quietness of this machine. I was very concerened about the noise level of a regular generator but this was perfect for us. Enough power for our camper with out the distraction of loud noise.

I bought this to replace a 5250 watt gen that work great just to loud .. It started right up and is very quiet. I own a pair of honda 2000i and this generator is almost as quiet .. will see how reliable it is as time goes on .. so far so good .. A+

Used this to run some audio and lighting for my stage production company. Love having the meter that shows the wattage being pulled! Also, the push start is fantastic. Makes it quick and easy. It started right up out of the box, and still does to this day.

The unit started upon receipt and adding the provided oil. We went dry camping and the genset worked initially. I started having issues later that day. Would crank and not start. Then after a bit, would start. The next morning, no joy.Would not start at all, just crank. I looked up i4500 issues and found there is a Westinghouse service bulletin. I followed the instructions, but found that I needed to remove the side cover to get to the connector area. Bottom connector was almost out. Reseated connector and wrapped with electrical tape to ensure it doesn't happen again. Put the covers back on and it works perfectly now. Here's to hoping that was the only issue. MY SUGGESTION: Perform the below check of the connectors as soon as you receive the unit. It might save you some campground headaches.

overall the simplicity of design, ease of mobility and yet formidable power supply allows this generator to be a far superior option to the old generator we had. set up was straightforward, tho overflow of oil fill seemed to occur too easily. one drawback was that we had to open up the chasis to access the choke, which was required to get the generator to start the first time. the choke should be adjustable from outside panel.

so far for the size of it very quite I have only ran in my garage but it is going a base camp in Mackey ID and I will have to purchase the high altitude kit but at lest they told me this instead of not getting the full power out of the machine. It will work great gets great reviews and I will add pic's at base camp. I love the fact 3 ways to start it but most favor it is remote start I can be inside the wall tent and start a pot of coffee.

The ease of starting the generator from the comfort of the trailer during a rainstorm will be wonderful. The requirement of starting with "no-load" is being accomplished with our in-line surge protector that determines the line condition after about two minutes before turning on power to the trailer.

It didn't take long to see the advantages this unit offers. My first impression was how quieter this unit is over my old open unit generator without sacrificing with a weight gain. Another perk is that it runs my travel trailer AC on its own without being assisted by an inline piggyback. I always had to boost my old unit that had the same rating. The remote is a feature that is going to spoil me. I can operate the whole unit without leaving the couch. What more could one ask for?

I have been pondering buying a new generator for a year now and so glad I finally did. Opened the package and filled with gas and oil and this generator started on the 5th pull. The remote start feature is the best thing. So far no hiccups with about 2hrs on it. Will review in a month or two with more.
