Very Quite

I wanted to get as small and quite a generator that would provide power during emergencies for my home. I started up after a few attempts and it was very quite and for the power very maneuverable with the telescoping handle. Be careful adding the oil when setting up or you'll make a big mess. Go slow and check to see if it is emptying from fill plug so it doesn't overflow too much. I have not had the chance to use it to power anything yet, but turns on and all the functions seem to work so far. I'll have to put it through it's paces before the next power outage to make sure it handles the load I want it to.
I bought this IGEN 4500 generator and it is the best. Easy to operate and is a wonder back up for my house. Will keep the refrigerator going in case of loss of electricity.
Easy to use from setup to operation. Bought to use for 30 amp circuit in my travel trailer and handles the full load with reserve. Love remote start for spouse. A bit on the eavy side, but that is a good theft deterrent in the EV world.
I bought this unit a couple of weeks ago and so far I have been very satisfied. What I like the most is that the unit came with very good documentation, step by step instructions on what needs to be done and in what specific order.
This has to be the most quietest unit I have purchased. The only reason why a star was taken off was due to the display not showing all values. I will work with Westinghouse to address.
