I researched many quiet generators, this one came in on top not only for being rugged, but for being American made. I spoke with many RV owners and discussed their generators and different brands that they used, this helped with me deciding on a Generac generator. I've had a much larger Generac portable generator for over 15 years and it's been absolutely solid and reliable, this little IQ generator is also well built and starts with no issues, sips fuel and is very quiet!

I bought the IQ 2000. It was 1600 constant watts. I used it for my fishhouse. It ran my furnace fridge freezer, microwave no problem, not all at once, but my buddy had 2000 Honda , he had more trouble with his, mine ran great. I like the hour gauge on it to tell you how long u had before gas all gone. It was quiet running like 57 db just as quiet as 2 people talking. Heck yes I told my buddies about my generator, we fish with a group of 6. We all have generac generators IQ 2000. Couldn't be happier btw. No problem with it running in -30 weather either. That's a big bonus for me !!!!!!

I purchased this generator two years ago I have since used twice, draining it regularly as well as running it as needed. 1- I recently tried to start and at first pull the recoil did not work. It took about 30 soft pulls and me walking away for it to retract. 2 - purging, I don’t know if this is normal but it purges when it ran and now it won’t run, cleaned the carb from sitting- even without fuel. And ran for 30 second then have to pull it again 3. Service, I just looked up and the closest service center for Generac is 60 Miles away. What are my options for warranty/repairs? I like this machine for the space saving and power aspect but I am not seeing that maybe I should have went with my gut as far as prior luck with the Red and White brands comparable model. Generac, Please Help!

Purchased this for a boat lift for a 23’ runabout and it works great. Impressed with how quiet it is and how easy it starts. I’ve only used it one boating season but just started today after it sat for almost four months to drain the gas. Took about 5 or 6 pills to get it started but once started worked like a charm. I’d definitely recommend.

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.

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.

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.

I haven’t used it very much, just a couple times at home. We bought it for camping with our travel trailer. It is very quiet and responds quickly under load. So far so good. When camping season starts in Michigan we will be using it a lot more. I think it will work great for our application.

[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!

Heat shield over the muffler rubs against the muffler and is loud and annoying. I'll probably take it off and see if I can bend it away so the metals don't touch each other. I bought the generator to camp with so I want to make it a little more quiet. Haven't gone yet. Just filled the oil and put gas in it to test. Ran a heater and skill saw with no issues.
