I bought this to use as both a track and home generator (for a few necessary things when power goes out) and figured 4500 max watts would be sufficient. Unboxing was easy and it was nice that it included a funnel and oil. It was easy to start but my main gripes are that the idle is inconsistent (it surges almost constantly, even with there is no load and nothing plugged in), the display doesn't always show an accurate figure (sometimes shows 0 load/output but items are plugged in and running), and it doesn't seem to be able to handle startup of many things that it should be able to (~1500 watt startup overloads the generator).
Just unboxed it and I have to say it's really well made. Easy to locate all the features and good literature included. Will have to wait to see how it runs.
I researched and researched and almost bought another product when I came accross the igen 4500. I am VERY impressed with the build quality and how easy it is to start.
