Ratings & Reviews for Generac GP (49 State) 3300 Starting / 2500 Running Watt Gasoline Single Fuel Portable Generator

Good quality and value.

I choose it for my Rv. I took it on an12,000 mile Alaskan trip which included frost heave and dirt roads. The only issue is it quit cranking off the electric start. It does crank easy off the pull start. I had to use the pull start most of the trip. It was new when I left. It’s super quiet! If others are running around I couldn’t hear mine at all even though theirs were a good distance away. Generac meads to sell it with a cover or sell a fitted cover. I had a problem with dust getting in the r...

Overloads for no reason.

I bought this unit for a month long trip. This thing turns off after a very short time displaying"overloaded" no matter what you do. I tested it with just a 1500 watt coffee pot and same result... "overloaded" Very dissatisfied with this product as it left us without power for a majority of our trip which was 80% dry camping. Don't recommend

Great looking , quiet and affordable generator!

Researched inverter generators on YouTube for hours to find the perfect unit to power my camper at unserved sites. Narrowed my choice down to the Honda EU 3000is or the Generac iQ 3500, but it was the Generac’s cost that made it the easy decision! For being equally (or possibly even more) quiet, 20lbs lighter and having nicer features such as a keyless starting switch, automatic choke, and a display screen for monitoring voltage output and run time to gauge oil changes it knocked it out of th...

Great Quiet Invertor

Runs my 30amp camper flawlessly. Camped beside people running a predator 3500 and a Westinghouse 4500 and this IQ3500 was much more quiet and lasted longer between fill ups. I can’t even hear this running when in the camper and eco mode turned off! A+ buy all around!

This product let me down

I purchased your iq3500 in August of 2022 and used it to power my RV twice in less than a year . The Electric start quite working in June is 2023 (less than one year ) , I checked the battery it was good . Would not do anything, I assume the starter went bad . Then I pull started it , started fine first 2 times . The third time that I tried to pull start it the pull start rope broke . The unit is less than a year old and has only been pull started 3 times and the rope broke and starter quite wor...

Iq3500

At this point I have not used IQ3500 for it intended purpose. Therefore I am unable to fully rate the product at this point However I do have one concern. The lack of servicing dealers and the availability of maintenance kits in my area More to come

Quiet

I have owned a Generac pressure washer for more than 20 years, and previously owned a whole house generator, I have/had great service from both. Decided to purchase a small stand by generator - GP3300i. I have ran for a few hours and very happy. Quieter than I expected and does what I need.

can't get it!

Ordered this during the Tax Break... Was supposed to be ready for pick up in a week... then another week..and ... and. Gave up..

Great Generator

Bought this generator to power my RV for off grid camping. Have only been out with it once so far but are very impressed with it. Starts like a dream and easily powers my AC and other things. Runs very quiet on economy mode. My only suggestion is that it needs wheels since it’s quite heavy to lift.

It is quieter than my honda

Can’t believe it doesn’t have a fuel shut off valve. Other than that it’s fine.

Quiet and powerful

Started old generator and scared the neighbors. Bought the This generator and you can sit beside it and chat normally. Runs AC and everything in the RV.

So far so good.

So far it’s done me good, only issue I’m having is finding a maintenance kits for my iq3500. Oil , spark plug, air filter etc.

Good so far

Quieter than my Honda, but lacks fuel shut off valve.

Love this generator

I was on the hunt for a generator for my RV. I wanted one that would easily run my AC in my camper and not be maxed out. I found this one. It’s exceeded my expectations. I ran the generator in the bed of my truck while I slept in my camper in the parking lot of a cracker barrel’s parking lot. It was so quiet that I only heard the generators from the Motor homes around me. It kept my AC running all night. I expected to wake up to a generator that was out of fuel. I was surprised to see that I sti...

Very happy on first day

I looked around at many different kinds of generators before my purchase I just mine lots so in 30 days I will redo another one with updates and happiness of product

Out of the box

Purchased in early spring for summer camping. Did not use until December and first time running started right up. Let it warm up and would not run with choke off. Ran under load for approximately 8 hours and had no other issues. The problem is that it would have to be almost full choke to run. Took it in for repairs and was told the carburetor needed to be replaced. Contacted manufacturer after service center stated is was not covered under warranty and the manufacturer said same thing. I am rep...

Unbelievably simple to use!

We live in SW Florida and decided to buy a generator for future power outages. Have not had to use it until today. Power went out 1.5 hours ago. This is the first time we have used it. Dumped some gas in and it fired on the first pull. That never happens to me! 10 minutes after the power went out I had the fridge, some lights, a fan and some other minor things plugged in with room to spare. So simple and I am far from a handy guy. Highest marks from me

Generac 2500i Inve

Purchased this machine in May,2021 from the local Ace. Put fuel in and oil and it started after a few pulls. Then my power went out and needed to use it. Took several pulls to finally start it. With just a refrigerator plugged in, it was running rough. But it saved the food in my fridge. A couple weeks ago, it wouldn't start at all. I thought there's got to be an issue and should be covered under warranty. Nope, fuel issues. Gummed up carburetor.Not covered under warranty. Cost m...

Awesome Generator

I purchased my first 3500iq took it home and fired it up ran it through the break in period it ran perfect until I plugged in my 1500 watt heat gun.. it started to make a loud howling noise unplugged the heat gun and noise was gone… done this several times noise still there called the dealer that sold it to me and the next day I had a replacement… I’ve been using my replacement lots and it’s been working perfect…super quiet and good on fuel…I am very happy with it… Thank you to the dealer for be...

Does not provide output power matching specs

This generator is supposed to deliver 2200w running power but we have found it automatically shuts down when we connect a load of 1700w. It does run well with a load of 1300w. The size and weight of the generator is great and it doesn't make too much noise. The run time is rather short due to its small size so limited capacity gas tank.
