Ratings & Reviews for Generac iQ 5200 Starting / 3900 Running Watt Gasoline/Liquid propane Dual Fuel Portable Generator

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

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

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...

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...

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!

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.

Began positive

I have had several carb issues. I worked where we sold Generac generators, and always spoke highly of them. I owned a GP5500 prior w/ few problems. I always kept ethanol free gas or gas w/ Stabil in my IQ3500 . Which purchased 9/2019. I had one carb replacement a year ago ,after a month wait for parts from Generac. It would start but not run and the ECO setting would shutter and shut the engine off. Now it is repeating problems, after only being run on ethanol gas for less than 1 hour. We used ...

Great Generator - a bit heavy

I love this generator. Powerful and quiet. The only downside is weight: 100 pounds. I wish there was some sort of wheel accessory for it to make it easier to move around.

Extremely quiet operation

Very quiet operation, and excellent build quality. 3 year warranty is great.

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 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
