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.

Super disappointed
I bought this on Friday for our tailgate on Saturday. Put oil in it that came with it, filled it with ethanol free gas and never would start. After 3 hours of trying to get it to start we just gave up. Have never been more disappointed in purchasing a product as buying this portable generator. Ruined the entire tailgate

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!

Best silent generator ever
Extremely silent for the power! Love mine and never got faulty. Easy start and last long on eco mode.

parts manual
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

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!

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.

Great portable Inverter/generator
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 th...

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

I bought in August but didn’t have a working generator until October. But after a lot of phone calls I finally have a working system.

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.

I bought this well over a month ago for use if we lose electricity. Have set it up and started it but nothing else. I hope it works as an inurance policy and prevents us from loosing service. If that is the case, I am pleased I made the purchase. The electric start was a must and that was an important feature when making the purchase. If and when I use the generator, my...

Response from Staples :
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration that was caused by your portable generator failing to start during the tailgate. Clearly, this falls short of the positive experience we strive to deliver our customers. Starting issues can often be resolved by verifying that the fuel being used is clean and fresh, that the start dial is turned on, and that the choke is in the correct position when starting. If you have ruled out the basics, please contact us at 888-436-3722 so we can help resolve this for you.
