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!

Happy to have purchgased the IQ2000 over the red competitor

I struggled with the decision to purchase the IQ2000 over the EU 2000i. I needed a compact, quiet, conservative generator to power my 32 foot boat while docked away from port. After listening to a trusted freind who had researched the product and stressed the fact it had been tested by three independent labratories; I bit the bullet and made the purchase, That evening after oiling and gassing my new unit it sat runnning next to a honda both at full load, as they were heating the hot water tanks in the boats. The Honda was predominantly the loudest across all load conditions. The LED instrumentation was also great, i could look from inside my boat when I woke in the morning to see the remaining fuel level before starting the coffee pot. Throughout the entire Memorial day weekend "60hrs" of use the IQ2000 burned 5 gallons of fuel. Needless to say, I made the right choice and got alot of Honda owners attention.

Very quiet

I purchased this to use at an off the grid tiny house and really wanted something quiet. This works perfect for a quiet power source. The only thing I’d like to see addressed is having the oil drain out of the bottom instead of the side. The side drain isn’t very user friendly.

Guage required for 50ft extension

I need to connect the 2200i to 50ft extension cable to run fridge/ freezer & tv & some lights from one of the standard plug sockets. What guage extension cord do I need? Can I run second extension cord off the first, or do I need to get another 100ft extension cord for the other plug on the generator so I can also run tv & lights - as circa 50ft away from fridge. Struggling to work this out before I can test generator. Thanking you in advance. Will update rating once I can use generator.

This dual fuel generator is a must for every home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My power goes out way too often due to trees breaking during storms. I have lost so much food as a result, so this generator will be a game changer. At over 115 pounds, it is heavy, but the compact size and wheels make transport easier. With four different power outlets, it means I can plug in appliances, cell phones and lights during an outage. Running on two types of fuel (gas and propane) gives me flexibility for usage. I like the LED display to see the output and gas consumption. Generac is a brand I can trust because they have a great reputation.

Great Product

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.

Perfect size

This generator is a perfect size for small projects I work on in my shop. We have an RV and will most likely use it for any trip we may plan. We just purchased the generator today. I have only used it for a small project. I was pleased with it and really liked how quite is was.

Very pleased

Purchased through Amazon, arrived in a timely manner in perfect condition. Unpacked, added oil and ethanol-free gas, it started on the 2nd pull. Very satisfied with how quiet it is, will be using it with a small travel trailer. Let it run for 20 minutes with a light load, then shut down. A few hours later it started first pull and I connected to the trailer and started the A/C. The generator was only about 2 feet from the trailer and I couldn't hear it inside with the A/C running. Let it run for 30 minutes, then shut it down. So far, so good. Had to buy the adapter plug, no big deal.

Excellent quality and features at a reasonable price

This generator will be used for off grid camping. We already have a whole house Generac generator so it was no surprise to find the quality and feature we were looking for and much less expensive than the 'big name' generator. The IQ3500 came well packed and complete down to the oil and funnel. Everything except fuel for start up. After camping next to people running their generators, we wanted a quite unit and this is it. Surprisingly quite. We are very pleased with this purchase and are ready to go camping as soon as the weather breaks.
