Perfect Choice

I researched hours for what I hoped would be the perfect generator. I have a "whole house", 11K generator, but store sold me on whole house when in fact I would have needed another 6-10K. So last year during Irma, the whole house decided to konk out and left me with no power. I borrowed a 3700 and ran 2 refrigerators, freezer, computers, tv & fans. It saved me as power was out exactly 6 days. So I settle on the iGen 4500 because of features and price and I can see I didn't make a mistake. I'll get to the cons but the pros: easy start and far quieter than I imagined. Had to keep going outside during test run just to make sure it was running. Love all the information on the digital screen and didn't even cough when I put a load on it. Seems to be frugal with the fuel use. The cons: First off the panels, all of which had to come off in order to access important pieces. The back for the battery, wire to connect battery was tucked so far under the unit you couldn't see it thru the access panel. They recommend draining fuel from the carb bowel after use but you have to take the five screws out of the side panel to access the unit. Why not use butterfly screws/bolts to make this process so much easier. On to oil access. You can see it but if your hands are big getting to the dip stick and getting it off and rethreaded takes some doing. Those are all minor details the company should be looking at and wouldn't deter me from buying this unit again. I don't want to have to use it but wow, what a great piece of mind I just bought. Had two other brands picked out but am sure this is the right one. With continued use maybe I'll update down the road.

Easy to operate

I bought this for home power backup. Living along the Gulf Coast during hurricane season, you need to be self sufficient as we are subject to power outages. This generator will carry the load to allow us to maintain the basics of survival. The ease of operating will allow any of us to operate and maintain the generator. As with all equipment there are improvements that you would like to see but from an overall perspective this is a fine machine.

Have not used this inverter much, but it seems well built and is quite. The unit arrived all in tact and everything works as it should.
