This generator is just as quiet as my Hond@ 3000 was but way more features and more power. To be fair it doesn't have the same quality feel as the Hond@, the Hond@ has a steel enclosure and this one is plastic, but at less than 1/2 the price (less than Hond@ 2000 watt) this has all these EXTRAS: (1) Fuel gauge with remaining run time, (2) Wheels! (3) remote start with auto choke. (4) built in battery maintainer. (5). load meter (6) Higher capacity It's a no brainer!
Great performance and exceptional engineering at a value

The iGen4500 was our choice after testing several inverter generators in the 3300-plus watt category. This was our fourth and final selection, as it serves the purpose of powering our travel trailer when boondocked and for quiet home backup during outages. The winning feature for the iGen4500 was the manual Efficiency Mode switch, which can be set to off when starting the RV's 13.5K BTU AC. It is sometimes desiirable (or necessary) to disable auto-idle when starting up high load demand appliances. This is not possible on many inverter gennys.
Fantastic product with all the nells and whistles! Well built and quiet running. Need to reverse rv plug as it is upside down! Super powerful and great design. Plugged in three block heaters and still haf power to spare! Impressed!!
