My iGen4500 was delivered today, I put fuel and oil in it, turned the fuel switch on and waited for a minute for the fuel to drain into the carburetor bowl, turned the battery switch on and pressed start. It started the first try even not having fuel in it during shipping. Very satisfied so far!
I am quite impressed with the overall build and performance of the generator; however, it is not as quiet as advertised. From 25 to 30 feet away, with the exhaust away from me and under no load, the eco setting still produces 61 to 62 db consistently. Had it been 55 or less, as advertised, it would have received 5 stars.
Got the oil added and connector prepared as required to connect to my “off the grid” cabin. It started right up and powered everything as expected. Noise level seems the same as my older Honda ES3000i inverter which this unit is replacing. Remote start works flawlessly. After 8 hours of operation I am very pleased with this unit!
