Great product so far.

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.

*Almost* Perfect

We have a trailer RV, and a 13,500 BTU A/C, so needed the 3,000+ startup power. I've been researching generators off & on for ~6 months and finally pulled the trigger on the Generac GP3000I for the following reasons: - Low weight (60 lbs w/o gas) - Low decibels - High power (able to handle our A/C) - Made in Wisco (where I live) I would give it 5 stars, but unfortunately there isn't a perfect generator out there at this level. Ideally the GP3000I would have the following features: - Fuel shutoff switch (so you can run the carb dry, not sure why this isn't a standard feature!) - Wheels (yes, 60 lbs is a lot lighter than comparable brands with this power output (aka Predator etc @ 100 lbs), but some casters would be nice. Lastly, the instructions could be a little more clear about the oil (they ship you 0.6L that fills capacity so you can put it all in, but that isn't readily clear). Otherwise, very happy with how quiet the unit is, low weight, sharp appearance, and it started up on the 2nd pull.

Outstanding Value

I was shopping for a generator inverter to cover my basic needs in the event of interruptions or failure of our electrical grid locally as well as nationally, especially in the very uncertain times in which we live. I considered the top of the line units all the way down to the extremely basic. Generac covered all the bases for me. Generac has a long history manufacturing time proven dependable generators of nearly every kind.The GP2200i provides the minimums needed to efficiently run all the appliances I require to get by. Best yet for a top notch machine it does all this without breaking the bank. The only item I feel is lacking is perhaps a built in hour meter.

Another Great little unit from generac

Apprentice electrician: I’ve installed many generac systems over the years and always been impressed with the quality and service. Instead of going with a Honda 2200i or Yamaha 3000 watt inverter I picked this thing up from one of my local wholesale generac reps, very happy with the performance of this 3000w power rush, whisper quiet, easy to maintain and the features this product offers are great for all purposes from the job site to going away camping for the weekend. I now own 3 generac portable generators and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

Quiet, small footprint, easy starting.

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 am very impressed by the quality of this product!

I selected the iQ3500 as it has high power output, good efficiency (for a relatively long run time) and operates quietly. The operator's manual is very clear and it only took a few minutes to hook up the battery and fill the unit with oil. Good access is provided to reach the maintenance points. The unit started right up and the electric start worked well. I was very impressed by the sound levels, the unit is very quiet even when not in Eco-mode. The digital display was surprisingly helpful as it displays output voltage, current and best of all the fuel level and remaining run time. Just starting to use the unit but it deserves 5 stars so far! One suggestion... although the packaging is good I would suggest over-boxing the unit when shipped via commercial carriers...the box takes a beating during shipment.

IQ 2000

Well designed engine and load monitoring system. Nice compact package with minimum weight (a very important feature for RV'ers). A paralleling kit and RV plug would certainly add to its desirability. Am interested in following the development of the IQ 2000 .

Quiet and Reliable

I was seeing many portable generators and I decided to buy this product because of the power capacity reviews. I bought it and put it to the test with the refrigerator, television and fan and generator went for 9 hrs of usage with 1 gallon. Love it's performance. Recommended

Great for Tailgating

GP2200! is perfect for a tailgate with all the bells and whistles that make a great tailgate. Ran a TV, Laptop, Electric food warmers, Fans and more with no Problem. One pull start up, super quiet didn't even notice it. Looking forward to exploring other Generac products for my new lake house.

Incredibly quiet!

We needed a generator for our High School Marching Band, especially for the field show competitions which are usually held on football fields. We needed on that was super quiet but capable of over 2000 watts for the sound equipment. It's so quiet that you can't hear it running from the bleachers at all! It doesn't detract from the field show and it has plenty of power! Our high schoolers can start it and move it quickly and easily. Highly recommend if you want a quiet generator that has more power than some of the others.
