Great product

I tossed around the ideal of getting a portable generator so I wouldn't have to lug around my other larger ones. I was convinced that the Honda eu2000 was the best and quietest on the market until I started reading about the Generac iq2000 and watching some videos. I just couldn't make myself spend 900.00+ for a Honda. So I purchased the Generac iq2000 last week. It arrived extremely well packaged, with manual, engine oil and funnel. Added the engine oil and some gasoline and it fired right up. This unit is quiet !!! performs well and I love the features it has. Well done Generac !!!

Bought the Generac 33000i and Love IT!

The Generac is amazing unit and brand. It is quiet, easy to start easy to use and incredibly efficient. The Generac is everything you want and need in a household generator, infact it is a far better value than the Honda and is feature for feature as good or better. This model can handle anything a house needs including washer, dryer, refrigerator etc. I am extremely happy with Generac and you will be too!

Good product

I think its a great generator, however it was damaged upon delivery. The housing cage was bent and the panel also a little bent up. Normally I would have sent it back but needed it ASAP. Overall it runs great but was extremely disappointed with the damage upon delivery.

Quiet, Feature Loaded, Efficient Portable Generator

The Generac Portable 2200i is the quietest running and feature packed portable generator I have ever used. The sturdy built framework with a built-in handle makes portability a task easily accomplished. Whether your need is for home backup or for on-the-road convenience, the Generac 2200i fulfills the requirements. The unit is beautifully colored in orange and black and compels one's pride to surface when showing it to friends or family. As well as doing the normal things a generator does this baby also comes with a 12v DC battery charger to make sure you aren't left stranded because of a dead vehicle battery. This can be real handy camping in the boon-docks. An included feature is a USB charging port for all your small electronic devices, ensuring your wireless communication even where there is no electrical power source available. Never miss a call, text, or email. Even go shopping from a remote area with a fresh charge to your phone, laptop, or ipad. Do all this in the Economy Mode and use less fuel and greater noise reduction. The Generator Status Lights let you know at a glance that power is active, low-oil warning ( and shut down), and overload alerts if you're attempting too much for the unit. In case you need more available watts (power) the Parallel Ready ports connect two inverters together for twice the power. All this is possible by just turning the simple to use Start Dial and cranking up the generator. Sit back and enjoy the evening while the OHV Engine does the rest, while assuring long life of the generator. With a two year Limited Warranty what more could a person want for a price that can't be beat? A very helpful Owner's Manual and Tool Kit is included with each Generac 2200i Portable Generator, making maintaining the generator a task easily accomplished. I highly recommend this excellent generator for your consideration of purchase. It is a winner all the way around!

Great Generator, light weight

Took it back to camp added oil and gas and the unit started right up after setting dial to start and pulling the core two times. Then set the dial to run . All my lights, coffee pot, and outside farm light all work at the same time. Also had the DVD and TV running. After outside farm light warm up the power gage move down on the power gage reading. Also very good on gas

Shipping Weight: 74 LBS. Add Fuel: Apx. 90 LBS. - NO WHEELS

I haven't taken my GP3500iO out of the plastic yet, because I am looking everywhere for a wheel kit. No wheel kit. Generac apparently does not offer one. Unbelievable. If you plan to move your Generac GP3500iO around your property, plan to have a couple of hired hands to help you move it. Thanks, Generac. My first experience with you is "Buyer beware".

Made life without power during the huricane considerably more tolerable.

This generator was a blessing. We went from oil lanterns and flashlights to lamps, fans,and TV. We were also able to cook a hot meal with our electric fry pan and pot. The general 2000 started with first pull and was quiet enough for our 3 year old grandson to sleep comfortably. This was a wise investment for a premium quality generator.

Lots of features

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.

BROKEN AGAIN

I just got a replacement and it wont work properly. The first one lasted 29 days so I was able to get it replaced through Amazon. The second one well it lasted a week before problems arise. We changed oil as it requires synthetic to run more smoothly. We put in proper gas as it requires. We replaced the spark plug. We are at a lose of what else to do. I really love the noise level when it runs its not to heavy, even with oil and gas full. I really wish I knew what else to do.

Buffalo, NY Christmas Blizzard

Have a 5000w Coleman Powermate that I started at 8:30AM Friday 12/23 when the power went out. Didn't have it covered and after 2 hours it was coated with snow and ice and died. I purchased the GP3300i for use with a travel trailer and am glad I had it in the garage. Took it out back and ran a heavy cord through the garage and into the house. Ran it 3 to 4 hours at a time, rest it for a while and start it up again. Powered the refrigerator and freezer one at a time. Total of 28 hours, it just ran great the whole time. My wife found a plastic tote that would fit over it which I lifted on blocks a few inches off the concrete so this one wouldn't suffer the same fate as the other generator. Would definitely recommend this unit, and Generac in general.
