I just received my iGen4500 generator, everything was intact, opened box to find no damage. filled with supplied oil and add gas the unit started up on the second crank let run for about a hour had no oil leaks and was very quit. Checked voltage on receptacles, voltage was spot on. Plugged in to camper and tested how it ran under load, runs almost all the equipment at same time ie( AC unit, Refrigerator, Microwave). I upgraded to this generator from another brand due to a friend buying one and have great luck with it. Cant wait for hunting season to start.

I bought this inverter generator a few weeks ago because my wife had a hard time starting our old one. We bought this one because it had a remote start which works great. I wish we had purchased this sooner as we do a lot of camping off grid. It's very easy to use, fairly light and easy to maneuver, and quiet too.

Just bought this a few days ago from a big box home store. I’m giving it 4 stars based on initial inspection and only a few hours of use. If it continues to run like it has been, in six months I’ll upgrade my rating to 5 stars. Unboxing was uneventful, units fit and finish were good, plenty of useful data placarded on the exterior to help guide you through simple procedures. Unit came with 600 ml bottle of oil and a very handy funnel to add or change engine oil. I added the entire contents of the bottle, filled the gas tank and connected the starting battery. Two pushes of the start button had the genny idling smoothly. After an hour of running with a very light load I connected the genny to my rv and ran the air conditioner, a 15k AC. The generator had no problems changing to the higher load and didn’t miss a beat. I checked the remote fob and it operated correctly. At this point the only question I have is that the manual identifies four different displays on the data center but on my generator the data center has five possible displays. I’m assuming the fifth display is total run time. If not I’ve already ordered a digital hour meter that will count run time. If this generator continues to start, run and meet my electrical load demands then I’ll consider this money well spent.

I purchased this Igen 2500 recently, after adding oil and fuel started up on third pull, runs quieter than my old Honda 1800ex. Much more fuel efficient also. It has a slight uneven idle when is on economy mode without load. Runs perfect on normal. The only other issue was a sticky fuel level float, that needed a little push to get free. Overall is great portable power for not a lot of money.

I bought this for emergency home back up use. This generator is surprisingly quiet (for a generator). I really like that it provides details on fuel level and time remaining as well as wattage and run time. I wish that it was easier to fill and drain the oil but that's really the only quibble that I can think of. Overall, it seems to be a great generator and great value.

I got this home and hooked up the battery (easier than the instructions) put the oil in, added gas and hit the start button. Voila! Started right up. It is charging my trailer’s batteries. Haven’t taken it on the road yet but so far, so good. Only complaint is that the access to the oil cap is a bit small but otherwise I am happy.

Ordered this generator on 10/22 and finally received it on 11/8, but I wasn't in a hurry for it either. I also ordered the high altitude kit from Westinghouse and got it before the generator, I removed side panels and checked to make sure my choke stepper motor was plugged in and it was secured with a zip tie. I then removed the battery and made sure it was topped off with a trickle charger. Then pulled the carb off and installed the proper jet for my altitude, and a new NKG iridium spark plug, (oil too) put everything back together, installed the battery after sitting on the charger all night put some gas in it and she fired right up and purred like a kitten, let it run for a couple of minutes and shut the gas off and let it shut down that way. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase and know I have a reliable generator for a fraction of the money.

Would not crank out of the box. Had to take panels off to get to the electric start module to reconnect the electric choke wire. Once connected the engine started right away. Has been running fine ever since. Pulls my camper air conditioner and all the lights at 25% load. Plenty of generator for my needs.

My first 2-3 startups of this generator were a little slow and I figured cold start, priming etc, but the 4th time it wouldnt start at all. I checked all the basic maintenance issues like oil, flooding, spark plug and then I went to google. Apparently during manufacturing, a large number of these generators have a wire that controls the automatic choke that is simply not connected, or is connected loosely and just pops out while running the first time or 2. Once the wire was reattached, the generator starts the first time and runs like a dream.

I bought this a few months ago. I used it for the first time this weekend. I had to adjust the choke and was unable to find it (first time campers too) but I looked on line and found the choke and it started right up. I love the fact it quiet and I like the control panels that inform me of the gas and oil levels.
