Ratings & Reviews for Generac GP Series 2500 Starting / 2200 Running Watt Gasoline Single Fuel Portable Generator

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

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.

Super quiet

Just bought and made a testing. Pros: Easy setup. Easy to start. Super quiet! If you turn the corner of the house you almost do not hear does it is running or not! Verify with different loads (from light up to 2 kW) Not really a Con: Wheels absences! Generac, please add an option to buy a wheels kit for your very good iQ3500! Why a customers should play a game with Honda Wheel kit, Caster's wheel kits and so on? I feel ready for power outage and highly recommend this little generator for ex...

Buffalo, NY Christmas Blizzard

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 Product

I bought this generator because I needed something lighter and easier to handle. Have no problems whatsoever with my generator. The only issue I have is I would love to have a wheel kit for my GP3300i, when I go online the only kit they show on all sites is for the 3500 model.

More Power

Overall great unit. However, room for improvement on power options and design. Pro's - Super Quiet and Fuel Efficient. Cons - Not available in bigger options. Would love to see something in the 4000-5000W range with some sound dampening. Or, design a cover for your open frame options. Lastly, please add some wheels to this thing!

Great Product GP2500i

I purchased back in February of 2021 after a few days of a hard freeze in Oregon. I added as a 2nd generator for all around use. Finally took out of box (11/2022) LOL! All prepped up. Not too bad! Generator is lightweight, started on third pull, quiet. So far so good. Future plans would be getting a 2nd one, with parallel kit. Generator will be great for home, outdoor activities. Ill test more and put a review back up.

RV Air conditioning

Bought for 2022 Grand Design Imagine a/c unit. A/C started and ran for 2 hrs. without any issues.....LOVE IT

Perfect

Arrived as planned! Packaged was perfect! Added oil and gas first pull started right up? Load tested it after 1hour of running! I’m highly pleased! For the money you can’t beat this unit! Highly recommend. I bought the GP3300i

Happy so far

Just got this. But so far great and super quiet. The only thing I wish it had was wheels. It overall it’s great. I will let try to write another review after we use it.

Pull cord came out of handle on first pull

I bought Generac because they are a local company that I have heard nothing but good things about. This morning I was excited to add the oil and gas and fire up this beautiful looking generator. I even went and bought gas that contains no ethanol. Gas, check! Oil, Check! Choke on, check! Time to pull this baby and listen to a quiet hum. NO! As I start to pull the started cord I did not even get the cord out 6" and the cord comes out of the handle and disappears into the motor. :( T...

What a mess

Opened box to a oil covered generator even though it was shipped with no oil. The oil filler cap was not installed. Spent the next Three hours washing and cleaning up. Can't say how it works yet. I will keep my fingers crossed on that.

Tickled pink!! This generator is awesome!!

Just bought this generator and I am so pleased. It is exactly as described. Runs my whole camper 13,500 BTU AC all lights etc. Runs nice and quiet. For the money I haven't seen a better product on the market. Comes with all you need to get started including a funnel to put the oil in the generator. I invited my neighbor over to check out my new generator for camping and he's already left to go order one online like I did. I'll come back and update this review after a few months of use and let yo...

Wouldn’t shut off

Brand new generac 3300i right out of the box put gas and oil in it started right up but when I turn the dail to off it keeps running very disappointed hope my warranty pays for this or you’ll hear more reviews

Bought the Generac 33000i and Love IT!

The Generac is amazing unit and brand. It is quiet, easy to start easy to use and incredibly efficient. The Generac is everything you want and need in a household generator, infact it is a far better value than the Honda and is feature for feature as good or better. This model can handle anything a house needs including washer, dryer, refrigerator etc. I am extremely happy with Generac and you will be too!
