Took it back to camp added oil and gas and the unit started right up after setting dial to start and pulling the core two times. Then set the dial to run . All my lights, coffee pot, and outside farm light all work at the same time. Also had the DVD and TV running. After outside farm light warm up the power gage move down on the power gage reading. Also very good on gas

Great new product from Generac. We also have their other iQunit, iQ3500, which we use for camping and other needs but needed something with more functionality and ability to connect to our LP tank which this product solves our need. Super quiet, easy to start and move around with the added wheels vs the prior model.

Our power was out for four days and my generator failed. I purchased the GP2500i and filled it with oil and gas. It started on the first pull of the cord. I ran it for the next day and a half to power the refrigerator, TV and some lights. It ran for at least 8 hours on a fill up. I never let it run out of gas but I know it was more efficint than my previous generators.

had a direct comparison with the honda product. few things noticed. was very quite at idle but when loaded up became louder than the honda. also noticed that it vibrated more at 75% load than the honda which may be the reason with the noise. overall for the price quoted it does seem to stack up well to the honda

We live in a 1950’s suburb in Sacramento, CA - the City of Trees. We love our trees. But windy winter storms, trees and power lines don’t always work together. After annual power loss for up to 3 days each winter, we bought this inverter generator this winter - a day before the storm. Long story short this unit fired up with ease and powered our fridge, heat fan unit (gas powered furnace), several lamps and even our wifi. The generator ran for 30 hours straight and was an after thought until the power was restored. We’re huge fans now and wish we’d bought this years ago.

Hello.....being new as an OTR trucker, I discovered that even with the truck's already installed 1800 watt power inverter, it does not last long enough when one is parked for at least 34 hours, while completing what's known a 34hr reset (a new 70hr On Duty clock is then given). On a very hot/cold day, with the A/C-Heat being on and at its lowest settings, with a TV, satellite dish, and an external hard drive (to record programs) plugged in, the truck will begin to shut down non essential items after about 12hours, such as the lights inside the truck, and the refrigerator (refrigerator is non essential??!!), and if long enough, when turning the truck on to juice up the truck's batteries, it will cut power completely to the inverter for a brief moment, that's a sure sign the truck's resources are getting very low. So, I decided to look into a portable generator, and after looking at and looking in depth at many other brand's details, this Generac IQ2000 caught my eye. I really liked the gauges it had showing, that is very convenient, I felt the 1600 watts was more than enough for my needs, those items mentioned above does not even register the 20% load indicator, and usually will show close to 13hrs remaining. I can even plug the truck into this generator to help juice up the truck's resources if need be! MInd you, this will probably not charge up the truck's auxiliary power supply, which runs the A/C and Heat, but once those have extinguished it's power source, i can then run a cooler or heater inside the truck, that's a big plus! I think, in my opinion, this company should direct its advertising to us OTR truckers....this is a great product.....Home Run!!!!! Chris.

Have a 5000w Coleman Powermate that I started at 8:30AM Friday 12/23 when the power went out. Didn't have it covered and after 2 hours it was coated with snow and ice and died. I purchased the GP3300i for use with a travel trailer and am glad I had it in the garage. Took it out back and ran a heavy cord through the garage and into the house. Ran it 3 to 4 hours at a time, rest it for a while and start it up again. Powered the refrigerator and freezer one at a time. Total of 28 hours, it just ran great the whole time. My wife found a plastic tote that would fit over it which I lifted on blocks a few inches off the concrete so this one wouldn't suffer the same fate as the other generator. Would definitely recommend this unit, and Generac in general.

We were looking for a portable unit for deer camp and ice fishing. After researching other portable generators, went with the IQ2000, believing this will meet our needs. It's nice to see the remaining fuel level and like the different mode options. Nice unit!

Bought this portable for my camper as a backup and for state parks where there isn’t any electrical hookups. Went with Generac because i also have a 17KW on my home. Excellent brand! I was surprised by how quiet this guy is. You walk 10 feet and it is like its barely audible. I recommended it to my friend who was looking for one. He bought the same model (iq 3500) and he is also thrilled! I can highly recommend this generator for performance, affordability and looks.

This is an excellent little generator and produces enough power for its size. if 2KW is what you need, this will do the trick. However, two things were disappointing. One, it is a lot heavier than the Honda equivalent. And two, it is no where near as quiet as the claim. It is downright noisy. Unfortunately, to get lighter and quieter, a Honda will cost you almost double the price. So for the few times you may need backup power, this will do just fine, and you will not be disappointed. But if you want to use this for camping, or extra power for a farmer's market or swap meet, it may be a bit too heavy and noisy for that. So 4 stars because it is a very good device. Minus one for weight and noise.
