I just unpack this igen4500. it was missing the battery cover. I email for a replacement. we will see. I have a honda eu3000 and needed more power, the honda is a little quieter, but much heavier and twice the cost. and its hard to compare to a honda as for reliability considering I have not used it yet. i love the remote start and the auto choke.
This is probably one of the most quite generators I’ve owned. I also like the digital display of how much time I have before I’m out of fuel, takes all the guess work out of it.
I purchased this generator to supply power to my 5th Wheel when I am not in a park. It had to be quite enough to pass the Forest Service requirements. It has done a great job. I will be getting a second unit and use the parallel cable to get twice the power !!
I purchased about 1 month ago, so I can't speak for it's reliability. To start the first time, you need to put in the oil and install the battery (both included), and fuel it up. Mine has the electric start and it started right up. It is pretty quiet. I like the controls give you alot of information about what is going on.
Have been looking at this generator for some time. Bought a W Gen 7500 two years ago, lots of hrs on it, but big and noisy, this model is quiet, and 70 lbs lighter, works perfectly on RV.
We just purchased the iGen4500 to replace the dual Honda EU2000i's. This unit has the power need to run our 5th wheel. It was easy to set-up. The remote start feature is awesome.
