Because it’s kind of an idiot proof user interface. You can’t turn the gas off, so I’m sure it floods itself regularly. If you want to check the spark plug you can’t because the sound insulation is cockeyed to the plug so you can’t get a socket on it I might have to take a knife to it, or just buy a Honda.

Starts and runs great. Very quiet. However, there is a slight “ticking “ or “ knocking” noise at times. Also it squeals when I plug in a 500watt ceramic heater. No squealing with a heavier load.hoping the noise goes away with use as we don’t have any Generac service in this area. I may take it apart myself. Otherwise I quite like it.

We have been subject to power outages about once a month for hours on end-which pushed me to make power of my own. Here in the South in summertime it gets very humid and without air I have a hard time breathing-well no more. Fired right up on 2nd pull of the recoil and ran as it should right from the start. I installed a wall kit to transfer power indoors without exhaust and rain coming in from an extension cord thru the door. This unit will run a 12000BTU air/heat unit and also other electrical items at the same time without barely a complaint. If I had to rebuy I definitely would.

I was on the hunt for a generator for my RV. I wanted one that would easily run my AC in my camper and not be maxed out. I found this one. It’s exceeded my expectations. I ran the generator in the bed of my truck while I slept in my camper in the parking lot of a cracker barrel’s parking lot. It was so quiet that I only heard the generators from the Motor homes around me. It kept my AC running all night. I expected to wake up to a generator that was out of fuel. I was surprised to see that I still had 50% fuel remaining when I woke up, and the generator still running. I love that you can’t hear it when you’re 10 feet away from it inside the camper. This is why quietest little generator I’ve ever owned. It’s powerful and efficient. I couldn’t ask for more in a small generator.

Bought two inverters first one display did not work returned to stored for exchange unit. First trip out after two hours of running shut off for the night and went to start in the morning to find no output from electrical. Hope this isn't a sign of what is to come with these units warranty fixed waiting to try again. I've owned Generac generators before and loved them this is my first inverter.I did a lot of research and found for the money this was a good deal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Generac iQ3800 Dual Fuel Portable Generator for a while now, and I’m really impressed with how easy it is to operate. The push-button start works flawlessly, and the design makes it super portable with the built-in handle and wheels. It’s definitely built to last—feels very durable and reliable. I also appreciate the Economy Mode to help save fuel, and the LED display makes it simple to monitor everything. Great generator for both work and outdoor use!

Fresh out of the box it was great. I am a senior woman yet I could lift it, understand the operation, and start it. It is perfect for my camper. I will probably go ahead & get another one along with the kit to do parallel operation. It is quiet, efficient and obviously well made. I am happy, happy, happy with everything about it.

I bought this generator because I needed something lighter and easier to handle. Have no problems whatsoever with my generator. The only issue I have is I would love to have a wheel kit for my GP3300i, when I go online the only kit they show on all sites is for the 3500 model.

I got the Generac IQ3500 to replace a much cheaper, much larger, very much louder generator. The Generac doesn't have as much power, but is so much better in the size and noise areas. I had never really used our old generator and I gave it to my son who used it to build a shed on his property. It failed after a few hours, It was cheap, but had no reliability. The Generac is so much nicer. It doesn't come with wheels but a $30 simple cart makes it portable. It now takes a much smaller spot in my small garage than the old unreliable generator. I have not really used it yet (other than to test it) since it is meant as a power back-up.

I bought Generac because they are a local company that I have heard nothing but good things about. This morning I was excited to add the oil and gas and fire up this beautiful looking generator. I even went and bought gas that contains no ethanol. Gas, check! Oil, Check! Choke on, check! Time to pull this baby and listen to a quiet hum. NO! As I start to pull the started cord I did not even get the cord out 6" and the cord comes out of the handle and disappears into the motor. :( Thank goodness for the wonderful customer service line. I have a list of authorized service centers, we will have to see how this goes tomorrow. Very disappointing!
