This product provides a thoughtful balance of power, economy, and ease of use to solve the problems of power outages and day trips to places without power. It is not a construction generator but will let you run consumer tools one at a time. I use it to run my coffeemaker OR my refrigerator during power outages. In addition you can charge your stuff and run a bunch of LED lights.

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.

Just bought this generator and I am so pleased. It is exactly as described. Runs my whole camper 13,500 BTU AC all lights etc. Runs nice and quiet. For the money I haven't seen a better product on the market. Comes with all you need to get started including a funnel to put the oil in the generator. I invited my neighbor over to check out my new generator for camping and he's already left to go order one online like I did. I'll come back and update this review after a few months of use and let you know if I am still happy with this generator. Thanks Generac for what I believe is going to be an awesome generator from what I have seen thus far.

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.

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!

Our power company has been putting in a lot of new equipment. Had one 4 day long power outage that cost us our ref. contents and a good reason to buy a portable generator. Works great but only needed to keep food cold. Can do wyfy and tv if needed too

[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.

I purchased your iq3500 in August of 2022 and used it to power my RV twice in less than a year . The Electric start quite working in June is 2023 (less than one year ) , I checked the battery it was good . Would not do anything, I assume the starter went bad . Then I pull started it , started fine first 2 times . The third time that I tried to pull start it the pull start rope broke . The unit is less than a year old and has only been pull started 3 times and the rope broke and starter quite working . Very disappointed with the quality, hopefully they honor their warranty.

This generator is almost idiot proof. It came with important extras like tools, oil, and funnel. I read the instructions and watched a 15 minute video. I did exactly as instructed and it started like a dream. I'm a 50+ female and not very outdoorsy. It's not too heavy for me to move so no wheel base needed. I live in an extremely cold climate so now I feel much more secure knowing my little generator is ready if needed. Be sure to keep up on the maintenance schedule which is provided. I bought a cover for it. This is a perfect little generator for someone like me!

After doing lots of research online I chose this generac model and have not been disappointed! It is incredibly quiet even under load. The efficiency mode is a nice option for lighter loads to conserve fuel. The only issue I have is the generator is a bit heavy for one person but can be managed if necessary. A wheel kit would make it about perfect if one were available. The electric start is a great feature and pull start is not difficult if needed. Started right up out of the box and have had no issues, it runs the ac unit on my 32 foot travel trailer with no problem. Highly recommend this model, quality well built generator as the ne would expect from Generac.
