Between hurricanes and ice storms, we have power outages about 4 times a year that last longer than 8 hours. I bought this inverter for one reason: to power our freezer!! Does the job and even gives me a lamp or two when it is dark.

Like the size and weight. Easy to move with just one person. It would be great if you added a fuel gauge to keep track easier of fuel consumption when running.

Added the oil and gas, started first pull! It also is so very quiet! I am looking forward to many hours of top performance from this little generator.

Bought it after 64 days w/out electricity after Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, I am using it for my fridge and the washer machine, and its working great, plus it saves a lot of money in gas. No regrets.

Within a month of purchase, we had a 30 hour power outage. I ran extension chords through the garage and into the house, and we powered a small space heater and some LED lights. We were very glad to have this generator to support us during this difficult time.

I'm very pleased with the purchase of this model Generac Inverter. Really like the dual fuel operation and its low noise level. The other features that did NOT disappoint is its mobility to move around with the clever pull up handle, makes it very easy to maneuver as I'm a senior citizen. Also, pleased with having both the electric start and pull start option should the battery get weak/fail. I purchased this to have an emergency backup for electric to our home in case we lose power during storms. Didn't want to spend $12K - 15K for a whole home generator system. This unit will run a full circuit in our home along with the gas furnace/blower. I'd give the 5 Stars if it weren't for the battery hookup experience when I first received this unit. When I hooked up the battery it wouldn't work, however pull start worked fine and unit ran fine. I read through the manual, and everything was hooked properly to the battery. I made 2 calls to the Generac 24/7 hotline/support and they were -0- help. Checked the battery, figured it was bad, but to my surprise it was good. Next, check the wiring leads to the battery from the unit. Heck, there was an inline bypass on both Positive & Negative battery leads. Took 5 seconds to switch both. Smart idea by Generac to keep battery from draining until units are sold to a customer. BUT, C'mon Generac, put this info in your User Manual or attach note to battery leads and make your hotline phone service people know!

When you purchase a generac you will be less than impressed. They will fight you on every warranty claim, you can't even find a parts manual online. My generator is hardly 2 years old and have had nothing but issues and absolutely no help from Generac. You will regret it

I bought the iQ3500 for my off-grid cabin to help charge my battery bank when solar is not an option. I also use it to run a small a/c unit when its hot. I have over 120hrs on it and have never had an issue. Its very quiet and has never given me any issues. For what I need it to do it seems perfect.

Generator is quiet and started on 3rd pullstart. Instruction misleading on electric start! Shows how to hook battery at battery studs! Cost me $20 to find out line behind battery was unplugged! Already hooked to fully charged battery!! Quietly does job using very little gas, haven't tried LP yet. WELL satisfied with it! Used to trim all my hedges about 4 hours, some 150 ft from a plug in! BLESSINGS!!!

Got a decent deal on this product, was looking for a nice inverter generator to serve as a backup option for our small business. My only gripes on this is that you have to take off the side panel to service the oil (would rather there be a way to check and fill oil without a screwdriver) and that the Off/Run/Choke knob was easier to turn and gave some sort of haptics or snap to indicate that you are on proper setting (Run vs. Choke).
