We bought this generator and loved the easy to use panel, and simple set up. The only problem we had was the enclosed battery leaked. We will need to get a new one, hopefully it will be covered by the warranty.
I've recently bought it, so can't say much about any problem might face during normal use. After connecting the battery (it came disconnected), adding oil, gasoline, I attempted to run it using the manual start without charging the battery but it did not start. After charging the battery for about 30 min, it ran with a push with very low noise level. It came with a remote start/stop which is a very convenient feature. So far so good.
I waffeled back and forth between several different brands and models, eventually choosing the Igen 4500, I made the right choice, this this is QUIET, after the break in period, i changed the oil, and hooked it up to my travel trailer, I can't really hear it from inside the trailer, at about 12' away, except momentarily when the 15000btu ac kicked on, then rpm's dropped back down. I had watched countless youtube video's comparing the different models, and decibel levels, and it's difficult to judge sound through a video, but now after purchasing, I'm quite pleased, and it comes with a battery, which some of the others don't.
