Great design

This would get 5 stars if it wasn't for the choke not being plugged into the control board as the unit would not start after following the start up to a T. I went on You Tube and found that these units are being shipped out without the choke being connected, I opened up the unit and plugged it in and it started on the next attempt. I hope this isn't an indication of things to come. It surprisingly quiet
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Generator I have ever used and owned!

Beats the Comparable Honda Model/Size/Watts in Quietness, Features and POWER! I really like the Digital read out for all the Run time, fuel level, run time left, etc. Remote Start and Electrical start worked for me every time. The wheels and pull out handle work great. I was worried at first from photos that the telescoping handle and wheels could not handle the weight on grass and mostly flat dirt with a full tank, but it rolls around with ease! Good build Quality. The plastic housing surrounding the generator frame and motor has good sound deadening stuck to it on the inside. Durability is ok enough. It's definitely not a slam around Generator. Remote started worked for me right away and even at it's first start up. Power output is as advertised.
If you buy this From Home Depot you can get an additional 3 years extended warranty for additional cost on top of the 3 year warranty Parts and Labor that Westinghouse provides. 6 years total coverage!
Remember to follow the Owners manual for first start up and break-in period. Do not over fill the generator with Oil and you will LOVE this generator. I got the gas only Model because the Propane one was out of stock for ages and Gas is more available for me anyways. Put in Fuel stabilizer and you got good gas for at least a year if you keep this in a garage or dry shed.
I bought this to be used in California because of the annoying PG&E Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) that are happening every fire season in California. I am also using this for camping as well since it's so quiet and portable enough.

Great after initial fixes

Many reviewers mention automatic choke issues. Mine had the same, except instead of a bad or shorted plug, mine was not connected at all. Quick fix once I noticed it.

iGen 4500 easy to setup and quiet!

Excellent product. Followed easy quick startup directions and it started up and ran for an hour without issue. Powered down and restarted again without issue. Extremely quite. Looks like a good investment. Will use with a transfer switch set-up to power all essential items in my enitre 2600 sq ft. condo as long as I leave the air conditioning off.
