Just fired up and ran for the first time, intuitive to use and quiet clean generator. Be careful filling oil, otherwise easy!

I did alot of research online, looked alot of different generators. The Westinghouse iGen 4500 was supposed to be the most quiet with the lowest decibel rating, at the best price. When I got it set up and started up, it was obvious I had made a good purchase. (Oh, BTW, my wife thinks the remote start is cool!) We plan to use this with our new RV and plan to do as much remote "boondocking" as possible. This requires a generator strong enough to run the AC but quiet enough for us to sleep. I think we got it!

I set up engine and started motor. Motor did not come up to speed. Smoked a lot.
I have seen many reviews about issues with the choke, so I pulled the side panel off and checked operation of the choke. It was stuck closed.. I manually opened it and the generator ran just like it should. i ran it for about 4 hours with about 1500 watt load and all went well.
I downloaded the Service Bulletin on the choke cable issue. I followed the instructions, pulled the front panel and reconnected the dangling connector.
Put everything back together and watched the choke operate as the motor was starting and all was good.
I am going to use this for power outages and I have every belief that it will perform as advertised when the time comes.
