IGen 4500 Review

I bought the iGen4500 as an emergency standby after a recent storm left our house without power for several days. I researched several inverter generators and this was the best value and capacity for the price. I liked the multiple features and the battery operation. I added oil and fuel per directions and it started up immediately. I also really liked the extended handle.

Good Writeup and Features

My wife and I are in our mid 90's and live in California where Power Co. turns off Power on a whim. This iGen4500 has the features to power our two refrigerators and the batteries of a power wheelchair. Delivery was exceptionally fast. Instructions are detailed.

QUITE AS A MOUSE

i just received my igen 4500. the instructions were simple to follow. The best part of this was the generator started on the first touch of the remote. The generator is a little heavy for a 63 year old to carry. Well, the built in handle for rolling the generator came in handy. Great product.

Great Generator

Just purchased my second IGen4500 after how good the first has done. Unboxed the first one and immediately took it hunting to run my trailer. Fired up great and ran in 15-20 degree weather with no problems all week. Fuel consumption is awesome with eco setting. Generator is very quiet and even when it is 3 am. Can’t wait to parallel these.

Started first time out of the box

Just bought this model as an upgrade from a previous Inverter Generator I've had for the past 5 years. I was attracted to this model due to the high ratings, electric start, remote start, low decibel level when operating, and higher running watts. The unit was packed well for shipment. Initial set up was easy, following the instructions provided. Simply connect the battery, fill with oil (provided), and fill with gas. After doing so, I pressed the start button once and it instantly started. I tried the remote control start and it worked perfectly as well. Looking forward to putting it to the test this spring and summer.

Great so far

Took right out of the box, put in the oil, gas, hooked up the battery and away it went. Tried the pull start and it was very easy. Ran it for the 5-hour break-in period with no issues. Super quiet and would recommend based on how it has ran so far. Heavy for one person if you have to carry it. Rolls easy.

Big Bang for Buck factor

We searched several generators and finally decided on the igen4500 based on its price, power and lower operating noise level. Bought this for our camper and we needed something that would deliver 3600 watts continuously, we got 3700 and 4500 surge power for less than half of what Big Red's 2000 watt portable costs. Remote start was a bonus as well. Extremely pleased with this unit so far.

Easy to operate

I bought this for home power backup. Living along the Gulf Coast during hurricane season, you need to be self sufficient as we are subject to power outages. This generator will carry the load to allow us to maintain the basics of survival. The ease of operating will allow any of us to operate and maintain the generator. As with all equipment there are improvements that you would like to see but from an overall perspective this is a fine machine.
