Quiet generator, like the eco mode. Comes with remote start that works wonderfully. Has no issues so far.

This generator was packed quite well for shipping and all included parts were in the box as they should be. The fit and finish and quality of the product is evident. I researched quite a few reviews before buying this product and am happy i did so for use on my boat. Hope to enjoy it this spring and summer boating season. Good choice.

Purchased new. Followed startup procedures. Wouldn’t start. After doing my own research, found auto choke unplugged. Machine runs better. Customer support would never get back to me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

VERY Pleased!

Having done lots of on-line searching and comparing, iGen4500 came out on top of my list for brand and model. It appears to be of sturdy build, works (almost) as advertised, and has some great extra features. Sadly, they have still not fixed the choke issue, nor the illuminated power-on switch. And just to nit-pick, they should have spared a couple more inches to the battery connect wire. Old, arthritic fingers can barely get into the limited space. And the hold-down for the battery strap clip isn't notched enough (molded plastic flaw), the clip doesn't stay firm. Again, not really complaining, just mentioning. On the cool side; The Amazon ad didn't even showcase the retractable pull bar! Completely out of the way until needed, pulls out like a suitcase on wheels. The oil service funnel screws into the oil fill port preventing spillage. There's enough space in the battery area to store the funnel, rag, spark plug wrench, etc, and an extra bottle of oil. Gotta love the control panel. Digital read-out gives more info than others, and all info is useful. (Voltage, Load %, Watts, Fuel level, Remaining run time, and Total hours. Now we'll see how well it holds up.
Again, I'm very happy with it so far. I'm looking forward to Westinghouse's fix or at least workarounds for the choke and ignition light.

Bought this generator after reading through many reviews. I've yet to put it into actual use, but after setting it up and running it for a while it appears to be a quality unit.

Great for RV runs all necessities to include AC and microwave at same time. Somewhat light weight and love the wheel and collapsable moving handles
