[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve never had a generator before and now we don’t have to worry about our power going out! This is literally electricity on wheels! It was very easy to set up and fairly quiet when it’s running. It runs on either gas or propane. We will be using it on camping trips or if the electricity goes out. It’s very compact and easy to move around. All in all one powerful generator!

This is a very economical generator good power with excellent fuel usage. I uses for portable power when I am traveling for work. This is one of the quietest generators I have ever had and used in the portable line. I definitely recommend this generator if anybody is looking for a small compact generator that is very easy to move and very portable. This is a replacement generator for a much more expensive generator that if I'd known this generator was as good I would have bought this generator and not had spent the $2,000 on the other generator that I am still fighting for under warranty

We have lived in the same older home since 1970 and it has a perpetual wet basement. The sump pump runs MANY times during the day. Just recently the electricity was off for several hours 2 times within a week. After struggling to get the old generator in position and operating we decided enough! We needed a more portable generator that was lightweight and easy to handle. This one fit all our needs. It is really quiet and has two outlets which are enough for our basic needs. Really like that it shows how much power it is using for operating the sump pump to see what it is left to use for something else.

Bought this unit for camping so I can charge the trolling motor batteries in my boat. This generator is much quieter than expected and is extremely efficient. It starts with half a pull of the start cord and is basically vibration free. I would defiantly recommend it to anyone who needs a generator that can he carried by one person.

At this point I have not used IQ3500 for it intended purpose. Therefore I am unable to fully rate the product at this point However I do have one concern. The lack of servicing dealers and the availability of maintenance kits in my area More to come

I purchased this generator a few days ago to use with my travel trailer and it did not disappoint. The A/C unit in my trailer is louder than the generator. I can not hear the generator when the A/C is running. It powers everything in my trailer. Great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was lucky enough to receive the Generac Dual Fuel Portable Generator as a gift from Influenster for review, and while we haven’t needed to put it to the test yet (thankfully, no power outages!), I can already tell this is a game-changer for our home. From the moment it arrived, I was impressed. The generator feels incredibly well-built — solid, durable, and thoughtfully designed. The dual fuel capability was one of the first features that caught my attention; being able to choose between gasoline and propane adds so much flexibility and peace of mind, especially during emergencies when fuel availability can be unpredictable. Setting it up was straightforward. The instructions were clear, and the controls are easy to understand, even for someone who isn’t super experienced with generators. I also love that it comes with a mobility kit, making it much easier to move into place if and when we need it. While we haven’t had the chance to run it yet, just knowing we have a reliable, high-powered backup ready to go is a huge comfort. I truly appreciate that Influenster gave us the opportunity to be ready for whatever comes our way. Can’t wait to update this review once we officially put the Generac to work — but for now, it’s getting five stars just for the quality, design, and peace of mind it brings.

Runs my 30amp camper flawlessly. Camped beside people running a predator 3500 and a Westinghouse 4500 and this IQ3500 was much more quiet and lasted longer between fill ups. I can’t even hear this running when in the camper and eco mode turned off! A+ buy all around!

Overall nice looking took 3 units to get a good one 1st one display not working properly, 2nd unit the first ones replacement exhaust plastic broken, corner of metal not in plastic looking on the inside wire loom was wore though and date codes were 2 years old, 3rd unit good so far. but used less then an hour.

We are the owners of J&G's Place 2B, a bed and breakfast in Ripon, WI. A massive storm hit Ripon and surrounding areas on July 28, 2021 and shortly after midnight we lost power during the middle of EAA Airventure, when Oshkosh hosts the world's largest airshow for a week. This is also the busiest week of the year for our business. A requirement for a bed & breakfast license is that you MUST HAVE HOT WATER, otherwise you are to close immediately. We were looking at a couple of thousand of dollars of lost revenue if we could not stay open. I got out our Generac 3500IO for the first time, a bit worried about making it work. It took all of ten minutes to set up (put in oil and gas and run our extension cords) and it was easy to use (started on the first pull) and kept our business humming and our guests happy for the two days it took the electrical crews to restore service. It already comes with the oil you need for the oil reservoir. Took about half of the included bottle to get it to the right level. It was nice not having to hunt down a bottle of oil. Ran all night and more on one tank of gas, so it is efficient. Especially impressed with how quietly it runs. One thing I would love to see: is there a wheel & handle kit available for this model, and a rain canopy/cover I could buy so it is easier to transport and also be able to use it in the rain? Thank you, Generac, for saving our business. Best, -Jason & Giselle PS: Using two extension cords plugged into the two outlets on the generator, we ran two refrigerators, a chest freezer, a natural gas hot water heater, two lamps, and 2 CPAP units, and had some Watts to spare, plus we charged phones and tablets through the 2 USB ports on the back of the generator. We buy the most energy efficient appliances available, which means we were able to get by with a much smaller and less expensive portable generator that will fit in the back seat of a Toyota Corolla when it is boxed up, which perfectly describes the 3500IO. We recommend it highly!
