We just bought 4500 and it’s absolutely what we wanted. It’s quiet and it’s so easy to start. I highly recommend this generator to anyone. Hook it up to you camper with ease. I will definitely buy from this company in the future.
I just received this awesome generator. Put oil in and connected battery and fired right up. Quiet and very nice looking. Love the remote. Can't wait to use it. Cliff T.
I bought this under a year ago I run it constantly and I have suggestions for improvements to make on it such as the remote start should also have a push button for the economy mode for when I want to run the AC and it's necessary to toggle this feature I can do it remotely! I also suggest larger Wheels for better maneuverability over uneven surfaces I have actually taken stroller wheels which are about 10 inches in diameter and attach them to this generator so I can drag it through the woods effortlessly over tree branches and other obstacles
We bought this as a back up generator for our boat...has lots of power to run things but we did have to purchase an adapter cord to make it usable with our boat. Runs relatively quiet too.
I bought this last year during a stormy season. I have a large whole house gen but not an auto transfer, so I have to set it up, connect, etc. But when power goes out at 3 am, all you really need is this gen for the bedroom AC and a couple of lights. Everything else can wait till daylight.
But here's the thing: Change the spark plug. Can't remember when you did? Change it. You think it was two months ago? Change it. Just change it.
Plus see the Youtube video for the auto choke. Mine functions without having to tear into the front panel, but its very common for the connector to come loose. Not a big deal.
