Beyond disappointing
I bought this a couple months ago. It never worked. The Fleet Farm I purchased it from would not take this product back. The generator is still at a small machine engine shop. I will never buy your products again.

Bad service

Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how frustrating it can be when a generator doesn’t run properly, especially when repair options feel limited. We appreciate the opportunity to help you resolve this. If your unit isn't running right, the most common cause is a lack of fresh fuel or incorrect start up procedures. While replacing the carburetor may resolve some problems, we recommend following these steps from the owner’s manual to ensure optimal performance: Verify the load size: Make sure the connected devices do not exceed the generator’s rated capacity. Overloading can cause the unit to stall or shut down and may damage the generator. Check the ECO mode: If ECO mode is on, try switching it off when running higher-demand equipment. Inspect fuel and oil levels: Low oil or stale fuel can prevent proper operation. Refill with fresh fue and confirm oil is at the correct level. Reset the circuit breaker: If the breaker has tripped, reset it before restarting the generator. Air filter and spark plug: Ensure the air filter is clean and the spark plug is in good condition for optimal performance. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, our support team can guide you through additional troubleshooting or connect you with an authorized service provider. Call us at 1-888-436-3722 or visit Generac.com for assistance. We appreciate your feedback and want to make sure your generator delivers the reliable power you expect.

Absolute junk!
Bought a new portable generator and it does not run once I put any kind of load on the unit. And there is no service repair shop anywhere close to my home.

Great Features, Nice Package, Nice Price!
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...

Problems
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

So far its perfect
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.

RELIABLE
Trip planned boondocking for part of it, all is well until it's not! The Sun didn't shine so no solar load. Backup gen wouldn't pick up load.
Generac to the rescue!! The iQ5200 worked flawlessly, and saved us!

Can’t find a parts manual anywhere. I need to replace the side enclosure panel. Other than that it seems to be working fine. Just need to go camping and try it out

Great generator for the price!
I recently purchased a Generac 3300i inverter generator for my camper, and I couldn’t be happier with it. It’s quiet, efficient, and easy to start, making it perfect for camping trips. It’s lightweight and portable, so loading it in and out of the camper is no hassle. Overall, an excellent generator for the price—reliable, well-built, and great peace of mind when I’m of...

Worked as advertised. Saved my food supply!
Used it twice now for neighborhood wide power outages. It has enough power to keep a refrigerator, freezer and some electronics going. For the first outage I had charged the battery and it started with the electric start. For the next outage, battery wasn't charged enough. However, the pull start worked easy on the first try.

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.

Bought at Menards used for the first time 30 days after and it would shut down when any load was applied, had to get it serviced not replaced. Works fine now but would have preferred a new one not waiting 4 weeks fir a repair

The inverter generator works as advertised. I thought it would start better than it does. It takes at least 4 pulls to get it started. My Briggs lawn mower starts on 1 pull and the generator takes 4 or more. Could be bettered engineered.
