I didn't give 5 stars because I have to take a panel off to check and see if the choke connection is made because the choke is not moving on its own with the electronic choke.
I've only had this a week I love the features I love the auto start It all works fantastic with my power tools multiple power tools. And so nice to have such a quiet generator
I bought one of these new, and it has never started easily, and generally not at all. I did research troubeshooting videos, and the consensus is that Westinghouse for this model (iGen4500) had a starting/choking issue--but they have never fixed it. Once again (today) I needed a generator, and spend about a hour in the snow in 0 degree weather, trying to start the generator.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Happy to have a generator and it now runs great but unhappy with setting up. Leaked a considerable amount of gas over my backyard until I found out the drain plug on the carbeurator was open. I was fortunate I didn't fill it up! I have also not been successful in strapping down the battery. Very fussy trying to attach front and back of strap and not even obvious what it attaches to. Appreciate the remote though. Would still recommend....but with reservations.
I would recommend this to a friend!
