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

Is perfect for camping or general use.

I actually bought this late in the season on our last camping weekend. I was pleased with the easy pull start. Started up right away. Did a great job charging the camper battery. Will run everything except the a/c.

Simplicity

Great unit, very easy to set up and run, very quiet!

Good product without much support or info

First off I won this in a raffle, so there is nothing to complain about. However I would like to point out a few things that I feel could be done better by Generac. First off, there are no break in instructions included with the generator. I assume every small engine needs a break in period so I had to look this up myself and perform it. Secondly, why no wheel kit? Yes it’s kinda light but would a wheel kit be hard to make or sell? Sure would be handy, so I’ll have to make one myself. Th...

This product is compact and quiet

Ordered product arrived on time. Shipped product was not damaged. Opened box, added oil & fuel and it started immediately! This product runs very quiet and efficiently. I may order another plus a parallel kit to run two units for more power.

Simple to start.

Easy to start and run. Real quite to run. Can hardly hear it running when compared to my older generator that this replaced.

New Unit Tested By Hurricane Ida

I bought two of these units for construction work but did not use them until Hurricane Ida. I used one and it's quiet and worked flawlessly. I used it for about a week nonstop. The power lasted about 8 hrs per tank full. I powered a house refrigerator, washing machine, several fans and computers. I did buy the inverter generator parallel kit to tie the two units together to supply 6000 but did not need it yet.

perfect for a small boat

bought this for overnights on the boat that does not thave air. quieter than i thought. makes boating a little more comfy.

Lasted as long as the warrantie

Did my research and decided to buy a gp3000i, mainly to run the AC on my 28 foot rv. Used it a few times during power outages, etc did fine. Kept a log on how many hours, when it ran last, etc. trying to maximize my investment so the gen would last. Made a cover to keep it clean and protected. Took the trailer on a 5 month trip this year and was using just to run the ac during the heat of the day. It started failing by just quiting. It would restart ok and keep running for a while till it died a...

Used twice and issues- now prepping for storm and no luck

I purchased this generator two years ago I have since used twice, draining it regularly as well as running it as needed. 1- I recently tried to start and at first pull the recoil did not work. It took about 30 soft pulls and me walking away for it to retract. 2 - purging, I don’t know if this is normal but it purges when it ran and now it won’t run, cleaned the carb from sitting- even without fuel. And ran for 30 second then have to pull it again 3. Service, I just looked up and the cl...

Got it done

I bought the 3000. Lived off it for a few days after hurricane Sally. It powered the full sized refrigerator, an electric cooktop, television, surround sound, phone/laptop chargers throughout the entire power outage. Its easy to carry and surprisingly quiet.

Get what you pay for

Definitely not the cheapest, but it'll be worth the money in the long run. All features are as advertised, quiet, powerful, LCD screen provides very useful information. Parallel kit to use two at once works perfect as well. Would recommend to anyone. However, NO WHEELS. Being an inverter generator, this is heavy. So I was surprised when I could not find a wheel attachment for this. It would make moving around so much easier.

Very pleased

Purchased through Amazon, arrived in a timely manner in perfect condition. Unpacked, added oil and ethanol-free gas, it started on the 2nd pull. Very satisfied with how quiet it is, will be using it with a small travel trailer. Let it run for 20 minutes with a light load, then shut down. A few hours later it started first pull and I connected to the trailer and started the A/C. The generator was only about 2 feet from the trailer and I couldn't hear it inside with the A/C running. Let it run for...

This generator saved our business after the July 28 storm knocked out power in Ripon, WI

We are the owners of J&G's Place 2B, a bed and breakfast in Ripon, WI. A massive storm hit Ripon and surrounding areas on July 28, 2021 and shortly after midnight we lost power during the middle of EAA Airventure, when Oshkosh hosts the world's largest airshow for a week. This is also the busiest week of the year for our business. A requirement for a bed & breakfast license is that you MUST HAVE HOT WATER, otherwise you are to close immediately. We were looking at a couple of thousand of dollars...

Problems starting

We like how quiet the generator is. We have problems starting the generator if it has not been started in a couple of months.

Bought two (2) GP3300I

Purchased on Amazon and they arrived in excellent condition. Set-up was very easy and both units started on the third pull with a fresh tank of gas. I am vey pleased with the noise level of these units and they should serve their purpose during a power outage, camping or tailgating. They are an appropriate size and weight for the power output and the price was ~$800 less than the two (2) Honda units with less running wattage. The only "wish list" item would be a larger fuel capacity, but...

Very Quiet As Advertised

I purchased this for the same reason as many others. I wanted a reliable power supply for my travel trailer. I also wanted something quiet so others wouldn't be annoyed at camping areas. Set up was simple. Connect the battery, put in the oil and gas and it is ready to go. Started right up and ran smooth and quiet. However, while running, I heard a slight vibration noise that didn't sound normal. After a little investigation I saw that one of the standing frame supports was cracked whe...

Voltage output

Does the IQ 3500W Have a 220v output. Here in south Africa we have 220v ac not 120

Powerful and quiet

I bought the GP3000i for my camper and I am impressed that I could run everything even the 8000 watt a/c without any problem. It’s fairly lightweight and fits right under the camper to keep it out of the direct sun or rain very happy with this product, oh and easy starting also!!

Great little unit

Nice and quiet for the summer power outages in tx. Nice and light easy to store

Don't be 'one of those guys' while camping

I bought this to use with our 26 ft. camper. Sites with hook-ups are becoming more difficult to get with the increase in post-pandemic campers. I wanted to have full use of my camper but didn't want to listen to (or have my neighbors listen to) a loud, open-frame generator. This generator is SO quiet. It is barely louder than ambient noise at the campground when sitting in our site, and is virtually in-audible by the time you are 50 ft away. Set up was super easy. Connect battery cables....
