Hooked up the battery, add the oil, put in the gas and it fired right up. Unbelievable it start up so fast right out of the box. And quiet, the was and excellent purchase. This is just what we needed for our Keystone Cougar.
We just bought this generator and my husband was very impressed with all the extra features. He couldn't believe how quiet the motor was. Since it was bought for the deer camp, it's perfect for his needs.
I have 8 hours running time on it so far and I love it! The igen4500 is relatively quiet for it's size. I love the fact that it has 3 different ways to start it and especially love the remote start. I look forward to our next camping trip to use it. As like everything else this unit does have some bad reviews but give Westinghouse a chance to make your problems right. The good reviews far out weigh the bad.
