... and it cranks good and runs quiet , -- until I plug in something in. Then it makes a whistling or whining noise that is louder than the motor. Called all repair people in my area to check it out and all that are still in business say they only work on whole home generators. 2 of them kindly looked at it and listened and said it may be supposed to make that noise. It charges fine an for now I'll try to enjoy the whistling.

I bought this last night at mills fleet farm due to the outage from windstorms in our area. Utility keeps pushing back power back on time and date. As these outages are becoming more common, I purchased this for these emergencies. Started first pull after removing from box and adding fuel and oil. Unit is fairly quiet. Ran my freezers and refrigerators, tv overnight. Was surprised, unit ran longer than anticipated at about 8.5 hrs. Very pleased. So much so, that next bring I will be installing a complete home stand by gen set with auto switching. So tired of our outsourced utilities. Generac hit a homer as far as I’m concerned. Great product.

Like so many others, we are experiencing fairly frequent outages. Most are quite brief but recently we had one that lasted all day. If it hadn’t been warmer weather we might have had a problem. So.,.. we took the plunge and bought a generator. Since we live on a townhouse and don’t own it, I decided to buy something with enough capacity for the essentials. I also wanted to be able to run as cord to the neighbours to keep them in heat as weIl. It also had to be quiet and reliable. Portability was important. I found everything I wanted in this model. I’m presently making a storage box to keep it outside do I don’t have to carry it up from the basement although it’s doable. I would recommend this product. As a matter of fact, I recommended Generac to my mother and sister in law. They got a larger one since they had the space and wanted something to run more things in the house. Noise level also wasn’t as big a factor for them.

Purchased Generac IQ2000 in an emergency situation as we had lost power to our house and expected outage was 4 days. We had no generator. From the box the Generac started right up and ran for four full days, burned 10 gallons of gas. Powered our refrigerator and deep freeze in our house, alternating with our shop to keep another refrigerator and freezer going. Did not loose any product! Worked awesome with no problems. Would recommend to others to purchase. Will also use while camping and other needs as they arise now that we have a generator.

I just purchased a IQ3500. The unit came with everything needed less the gasoline. I read the manual and filled the unit with the provided oil, added 100% gas and fired it up. It started immediately and ran great. Ultra quite and very smooth. I plugged in some lights for a lite load and ran it for 1.5 hours. I shut it down and checked the oil level. I am very happy with my purchase. This is my second Generac generator that I own. My older one is an 11 year old 7500 watt and still runs like new. Thanks for building reliable products!

I give Value for the Price an average rating only due to my price point was $800 instead of $700.$719. If I had it shipped to me it may have been around the same price in the long run. If not more. Any how I am impressed. It was easy to add oil as well as fuel. Just as easy to start. Basically I purchased this generator for camping. Which should suit all my power needs. When more power is needed. I'll just buy another and run a parallel connection. But I got my eye on the GP 6500.

Overall great unit. However, room for improvement on power options and design. Pro's - Super Quiet and Fuel Efficient. Cons - Not available in bigger options. Would love to see something in the 4000-5000W range with some sound dampening. Or, design a cover for your open frame options. Lastly, please add some wheels to this thing!

Like this product because the noise level is very low compares to others. Love the display gauges that display gas level and remaining time. All portable generators should have this. Using this unit as a home backup to keep the fridge running and some lights during blackouts. So far so good.

We live in a 1950’s suburb in Sacramento, CA - the City of Trees. We love our trees. But windy winter storms, trees and power lines don’t always work together. After annual power loss for up to 3 days each winter, we bought this inverter generator this winter - a day before the storm. Long story short this unit fired up with ease and powered our fridge, heat fan unit (gas powered furnace), several lamps and even our wifi. The generator ran for 30 hours straight and was an after thought until the power was restored. We’re huge fans now and wish we’d bought this years ago.

Bought this generator to power my RV for off grid camping. Have only been out with it once so far but are very impressed with it. Starts like a dream and easily powers my AC and other things. Runs very quiet on economy mode. My only suggestion is that it needs wheels since it’s quite heavy to lift.
