I estimate I got a little over 1200 hours of use before the 120V port to the inverter fried rendering the otherwise perfectly running and maintained generator useless and shortened my already expensive camping trip. When I explained the issue to customer service, I was told I needed the control panel so I ordered it. While waiting a month for that part ($150) ordered an identical unit as my backup thinking running in parallel could be handy at some point. The control panel came and I found out it wasn't the part I needed. I looked for the inverter part and was amazed that the replacement inverter costs more than the whole unit cost me to replace. Hindsight being 20/20, I would have replaced it with something else.

The Generac IQ2000 generator out performs the Honda generator. I love everything about it. After looking on YouTube and the internet I decided to go with the Generac. Price is just right. I am a retired Firefighter and First Responder after 39 years. Used all types of generators in the fire service. Thank you again Generac for a great product. Will use the generator for my personal use during storms, etc.

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.

I selected the iQ3500 as it has high power output, good efficiency (for a relatively long run time) and operates quietly. The operator's manual is very clear and it only took a few minutes to hook up the battery and fill the unit with oil. Good access is provided to reach the maintenance points. The unit started right up and the electric start worked well. I was very impressed by the sound levels, the unit is very quiet even when not in Eco-mode. The digital display was surprisingly helpful as it displays output voltage, current and best of all the fuel level and remaining run time. Just starting to use the unit but it deserves 5 stars so far! One suggestion... although the packaging is good I would suggest over-boxing the unit when shipped via commercial carriers...the box takes a beating during shipment.

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.

My neighbor brought this new and it never worked since new. She gave it to my and I contacted warranty department and the said to take it to a city repair shop. The shop could not get help from the company. Thankfully I didn’t get a whole house generator. I have paperwork to show lack of help from manufacturer.

I bought this generator because of its realizability. We lived in NJ, during both hurricane Irene in 2011and hurricane Sandy in 2012. In both storms we relied on a Generac generator for solid performance for over two weeks without electric. This was huge, as we owned a dog kennel in which we were able to keep going, helping a lot of our customers care for their pets. Tom

I bought two of these units for construction work but did not use them until Hurricane Ida. I used one and it's quiet and worked flawlessly. I used it for about a week nonstop. The power lasted about 8 hrs per tank full. I powered a house refrigerator, washing machine, several fans and computers. I did buy the inverter generator parallel kit to tie the two units together to supply 6000 but did not need it yet.

The Generac is amazing unit and brand. It is quiet, easy to start easy to use and incredibly efficient. The Generac is everything you want and need in a household generator, infact it is a far better value than the Honda and is feature for feature as good or better. This model can handle anything a house needs including washer, dryer, refrigerator etc. I am extremely happy with Generac and you will be too!

I spent 3 months researching generators for my RV. I chose the Generac IQ3500 after carefully comparing all brands. This is the RIGHT CHOICE!! Outstanding generator. Very well constructed and solid. SUPER, SUPER QUIET. Easily runs my entire RV with AC. Easy to operate. The IQ3500 is defiantly the "top of the line". I highly recommend this generator.
