We have 3 of these! They are great. We did have one arrive from the factory with the fuel drain screw open. Gnarly mess on our driveway. Still happy we purchased them!
I didn't give 5 stars because I have to take a panel off to check and see if the choke connection is made because the choke is not moving on its own with the electronic choke.
I've only had this a week I love the features I love the auto start It all works fantastic with my power tools multiple power tools. And so nice to have such a quiet generator
I bought one of these new, and it has never started easily, and generally not at all. I did research troubeshooting videos, and the consensus is that Westinghouse for this model (iGen4500) had a starting/choking issue--but they have never fixed it. Once again (today) I needed a generator, and spend about a hour in the snow in 0 degree weather, trying to start the generator.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
