Had problem starting out of box, found a choke lever behind screwed down panel and fired right up. Met my expectation of power and quiet, i would recommend but only downfall is choke is not easily accessible.
I ordered this to take camping because of the running watts and the standard 30A plug. Put oil and gas in it out of the box and it fires up with no issues. Will see how it works when we take it out camping.
Having weathered an unusual freak winter storm in Texas back in February, we thought lets not get stuck without power ever again. Having been RVers for years we've tried all the generators under the sun. This is the best yet and we're so glad we went with the igen4500. Its solidly made and easy instructions to follow. A quality product for sure. We're hoping to never use it but the Texas power grid is already stressed and we're only 2 weeks into June.
