Set up was quick and easy out of the box. Love the remote start and how quite it is. Wish the remote also had the capability to switch over to efficiency mode.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A quiet unit with loads of features
on May 24, 2020

After researching inverters for some time as a quieter option as compared to our standard generator, we finally settled on the IGen4500 for three main reasons. First, it is significantly quieter than a standard generator, to the point that you can easily have a conversation standing next to it. Since its an inverter, that is to be expected, but going from a standard generator to this inverter, it was a surprise how much difference it made. Second, the lower weight as compared to a standard generator is a plus. While 100 pounds is still heavy, compared to our other 5500W generator, its much easier to maneuver while still providing ample power. Third, the iGen4500 has great features. The electric start and remote start work great, and the telescoping handle and wheels make moving it easy. The fuel estimation gauge is a great plus as well, making managing your fuel reserves easier. We've yet to utilize the eco-mode, but expect to use this feature this hurricane season. We purchased the iGen4500 primarily for backup power for home outages (refrigerator, deep freeze, fans, recharging small electronics etc.). To that end, the USB ports and two 20 AMP outlets serve that purpose well. To add to its versatility, we also purchased a TT-30P to 5-15R extension cord for additional household power needs. Only downside so far was that the blue plastic outer housing was cracked upon arrival, but its not significant enough to go through the return and exchange process as it shouldn't affect its functionality.

Easy Setup

Took it out of box, read the manual, hooked up the battery, put the oil in, put some gas in, pushed the start button and it started right up. We plugged in items from our garage and those worked perfectly. Plan to use with our 5th wheel.

Quiet amazing

so I'm not going to lie when I first bought the unit I was super mad because it was leaking gas. I got my mechanic skills going and notices the carburetor valve was not tight so I turned it and not the generator is working like a champ. Can't wait to see what this bad boy has in it.
