[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the iQ3800 for home backup during storms and weekend RV trips—and it’s been outstanding. It kicks out 3,800 starting watts (3,100 running) on gas or 3,420/2,790 on propane, giving me flexibility when fuel is tight. Despite its power, it stays impressively quiet, so I can run it overnight without bothering the neighbors. Built with a rugged steel frame and protected outlets, it’s held up to bumps and rough handling, and the Eco‑Mode™ engine control delivers smooth, efficient performance under varying loads. I love the electric start (with manual backup) and the Smart CO™ shutoff for safety. Routine upkeep is a breeze thanks to tool‑free access to the oil fill and air filter. For reliable, low-noise power and minimal maintenance whenever and wherever I need it, the Generac iQ3800 has been a fantastic, peace-of-mind investment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great generator... super quiet and very efficient. It is a little heavy, Runs great, quiet, well made. Be very careful to follow the starting instructions in the operators manual and you will be happy . This generator is so easy to start, and it's so quiet while running. . Never worry about a storm or power outage again. What a quality generator by Generac!!

Best generator I have ever purchase, offer me confidence and security that I will never have to buy I generator for a long time, I'm from PR and my family and I don't have electricity since sept 6 2017, due to hurricane Irma and hurricane Maria!! Thanks Generac for so awesome product

I bought 1 and put the whole package of oil in and I believe that caused it not to start. I took it back and exchanged it for another identical one, this time I didn't use the whole amount of oil provided. The 2nd one works like a champ, first pull start for now. Have not had an opportunity to run for extended times so will have to update this review at a later time. I work construction and have been around many Generac products without any issues and was a driving force in my purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The build is solid, everything looks professional and well thought out. Started up from the first time! What I was particularly pleased with is that it is very quiet, especially compared to other models. It doesn't rattle, doesn't scare the neighbors, doesn't disturb my sleep. You can safely turn on at night. The power is enough for the refrigerator, and for lighting, and for charging appliances at the same time. Works both on gasoline and propane - convenient when one of the options runs out. The digital panel is simple and straightforward, you can see everything: how many watts are being used, how much time is left - a complete sense of control. And yes, its weight (122 pounds) can be felt, but on wheels it rolls easily like a suitcase, not dragging with effort. In general Generac iQ3800 is peace of mind in any situation: blackout, going out with family, working remotely - it will not let you down. Beautiful, powerful, smart - I recommend it 100%. Yes, the Generac iQ3800 DF generator does support both gasoline and liquefied propane operation. This is confirmed by the model's official specifications - Dual Fuel: Runs on gasoline or liquid propane, providing flexibility in the choice of energy source.  - Run time: up to 13 hours on gasoline and up to 16 hours on a 20-pound propane tank at 50% load.  - Power: 3,000 watts in run mode and up to 3,800 watts when running on gasoline; 2,700 watts in run mode and up to 3,400 watts when running on propane.

This is a good little generator, but the only thing I have a problem with is that there is no fuel cut off valve. The off/run/choke switch just turns the generator off and does not run the generator out of fuel. I’m thinking as far as storage. I know the manual talks about fuel stabilizer, but I think a fuel cut off valve would be great. I have owned a few generators in the past and all had a fuel cut off valve to run the generator out of fuel when not in use. I have never had an issue with my other generators, but this is a concern for me.

I bought item during a major ice storm in OKLAHOMA CITY in 2020. When I filled it with fuel, I followed the directions and I could not get it to start. I then noticed it was spilling fuel all over my deck. Opening the covers I found that the drain line to the carburetor had been left open at the factory. The local GENERAC dealer refused to even listen since they only worked with hard installed GENERAC units. Furthermore the power out of this unit, isn't clean enough to run the ac motor my furnace. And there's no other way to reach GENERAC other than posting here.

I bought this generator to run my cab-over camper on various trips throughout the year. I had a 2K watt previously and it just wasn't enough to handle the microwave and other accessories, so I upgraded to the Generac 3K watt and at first was impressed at how quiet it was and how it seemed to handle all my accessories fairly easy ripening through the 30amp RV outlet, but then...on a recent trip I decided to camp in a tent shelter and use the generator to run a 1500 watt space heater to keep warm at night, but unfortunately it was not able to run the heater without going into fault mode. So I went to town and bought a second heater and had the same issue. I tried powering it through the 30 amp outlet with an adapter and had the same problem. Unfortunately I have no idea how a 3K watt generator can't handle a 1500 watt space heater, but this generac cannot unfortunately. Pretty disappointing to say the least. I run non-ethinol fuel and make sure the oil level is good, so I'm just not sure if the governor is set too low so it can't reach a true 3000 watts or what the issue is? Back to the drawing board I guess. Would I recommend this generator now? Probably not. At first, absolutely.

I purchased this portable generator for use around my farm and as a power source when camping. I was pleasantly surprised at how quite it operates and the Fuel Gauge, Time to Run and Power Usage read-outs are wonderful. I removed from the box, put in oil and pulled rope twice to make that initial start. A big plus is my wife likes it too. Great Product, Excellent Reputation, Top Notch Quality
