I bought this last night at mills fleet farm due to the outage from windstorms in our area. Utility keeps pushing back power back on time and date. As these outages are becoming more common, I purchased this for these emergencies. Started first pull after removing from box and adding fuel and oil. Unit is fairly quiet. Ran my freezers and refrigerators, tv overnight. Was surprised, unit ran longer than anticipated at about 8.5 hrs. Very pleased. So much so, that next bring I will be installing a complete home stand by gen set with auto switching. So tired of our outsourced utilities. Generac hit a homer as far as I’m concerned. Great product.

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.

Great product from a great USA based manufacturer...uncrated my new GP2200i and filled with oil and gas and followed starting instructions and it started on the first pull...used it to supply power for the sound system on our parade float and everyone was impressed by how quite it was...This is my 2nd generac generator as I have a XP8000 I purchased a few years ago for home backup just in case the power ever goes down for a extended period of time... Overall great products and highly recommend Generac... O and not to forget to mention they are considerable cheaper than a Honda and lot of other brands out there...Two thumbs up Generac keep up the good work!!

Our review is based on our trial run of this bad puppy. Will be taking it camping in May 2021 for a real trial run. Based on our initial test, this unit was very impressive! Very quiet - even better than the Honda 2200. Connected 1500 watt heater and a heat gun and the inverter had no problem handling the load. Awesome so far. Will make another review after our first camping trip. Stay tuned...

I got the generator (Craftsmen 3000i) last spring and used it on two camping trips. It worked flawlessly. However, the last two times I have tried to run the unit it has been very difficult to start. I had to remove the plug and use starter fluid. Yesterday I removed the spark arrestor and discovered it to be quit dirty. I cleaned the spark arrestor and also checked the plug. I installed a hour meter as soon as I got the machine and as of today there are only 38 hours of run time. Even after performing this early maintenance the unit was still hard to start. I really like the weight to power ratio, but am concerned on the starting difficulty.

I needed a generator; out power went out and my 35-year-old PowerMate 800 would not start. I wanted something light weight and with enough power to keep my sump pump and refrigerator running. The GP2200i fit the bill perfectly. Easy to setup - just add the oil included in the box using the funnel included and fill it with gas. One pull and it started. Very quiet running, I filled the tank every 6 hours or so, it never ran out of gas. Had it running for almost 2 days solid. It kept the sump and refrigerator running with no problem. I highly recommend the Generac brand. Built in the USA in Milwaukee!

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.

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.

I purchased the gp3000i to use with my rv. It starts and runs the a/c with no issues with the standard battery charger working and the fridge running on electric. It fires right up with gentle pulls and is easy on fuel considering the output. Did I mention that it is quiet, so quiet that at full load you can stand right over it and have a conversation, without yelling. Nice package and light enough to move easily, well done. I'd buy it again, wouldn't hesitate at all.

After spending a lot of time researching different generators this is the one we bought. It has a lot of the features that the more expensive ones have and it is very well priced for those options. The best part is hearing or I should say is not hearing it in action. It is very quiet and does the job.
