It just arrived today. I am in the process of breaking the engine in. It started right up. I was able to run it for an hour before it got dark. It is quiet.
Bought and worked right out of the box after setup. The second time I tried to use this unit on a camping trip, the automatic choke was not working. I pulled the side panel off and manually adjusted and it started right up. Wish they made the other side panel to reconnect the auto choke easier.
I bought this generator based on the abundance of excellent reviews and am so happy I did. This generator is so easy to start up and use even a caveman can do it! Flip a switch, and press a button. I love the remote start as well. The overall appearance is very nice and the unit seems very durable and rugged. It's also very quiet, I'd say much quieter than a standard lawn mower on the lowest idle setting. In testing, it easily ran our refrigerator, freezer, microwave and electric heater, although I did not test them all at once. I am super happy with this iGen4500 generator and feel like we can sustain power outages from storms much better now, and now have a reliable source of power when utilities go down. I will be recommending this generator to family and friends.
Everything I was looking for. Economy mode, great size tank capacity, and most importantly remote start. Make your coffee in your camper before you get dressed! It is quiet. Exceptional value.
