This was the easiest to set up and get started. Having just one button to start this up is amazing!

Added gas and oil. The iGen4500 cranked up the first time with the remote right out of the box! It runs quiet as advertised. Sleek appearance with a small footprint. It is priced well compared to others in its class. The iGen4500 will work well for anyone who doesn't need to run a lot of high wattage appliances or equipment. It has several great features. I've only used it once and it worked well. So far so good!

This generator, made in Vietnam, is well thought out with lots of nice features. Started right up using the remote after turning over maybe 6 times. Ran for 5 hours on 1 gallon of gasoline with loads varying from 0 to 50% of capacity. After that break in run it ran both RV (50 amp service) air conditioners and the electric water heater and indicated 75% of capacity. Comes with a funnel that threads into the dipstick/oil fill port, spark plug wrench and screwdriver. The 10mm drain plug is a little difficult to get at and there is a positive lead (with a red rubber cover) very close that one needs to be cognizant of. A 4” long open end wrench works. The oil drains into a containment area with its own press in rubber drain plug which prevents oil running everywhere. I changed the oil at 5 hours and there were minute metal flakes in it. I’ll change it again at 10 hours to see if there is still metal in the oil. This is the first gasoline or diesel engine I have purchased in decades that has a published break in period. It only runs at the rpm that is required to provide the amp demand so with no load it idles which reduces fuel consumption and overall noise. With the engine running with no load I measured the decibel level at 10’ directly in line with the exhaust with an app on my iPhone and it indicated 67. it doesn’t seem to get much louder with a load but it does increase somewhat. Measuring decibels is very subjective so take that for what it’s worth. It has a very low tone and I can say I can stand within 10’ and carry on a conversation without raising my voice. Only use will prove it’s reliability and durability but so far it seems to be a good machine.

Nice quiet generator

We bought this to use with our travel trailer. Couldn't be happier with how quiet it runs and how easy it is to operate. Only down side is the oil fill location. Makes a bit of a mess on the initial fill up but a minor problem

Easy setup: Connected battery, Added oil, gas, used the cord at first - I didn't even pull hard and didn't expect it to start, but this really wanted to run. Still have to use on a trip but so far so good.
