This inverter generator is better than your traditional generator! It is super quiet - I can't even hear it inside my house, and the neighbors that live next door certainly would not be able to hear it running. It is VERY easy to start with the remote or push button. I started by plugging in a couple of box fans and several lights to test it out. The load was still near 0 with a running time of approx. 15hrs on a full tank. It is rather large and heavy, but easy to move around with the pull out handle and wheels.
Generator was easy to set up, fill it with the supplied oil, add some gas, connect the battery and push the start button! My wife loves the remote start key fob! We have an off grid camp in Maine and this will go great to supplement our small solar system as well as power construction tools when necessary.
My iGen4500 was delivered today, I put fuel and oil in it, turned the fuel switch on and waited for a minute for the fuel to drain into the carburetor bowl, turned the battery switch on and pressed start. It started the first try even not having fuel in it during shipping. Very satisfied so far!
