Generac iQ3500 Reviews & Ratings
Iq3500

Review Posted 11/02/2024
Generator arrived on time in good condition. I added oil and a couple gallons of gas. Battery was dead so I pull started. Generator started on second pull. Pull starting is easier than my Honda 2200. Battery will not charge. Replaced the battery with the same as what my mower uses and mounted outside the generator. Electric start works good and the generator keeps the battery charged. Overall it seems to be very quiet and fuel efficient. Recommended.

Nice generators but one of the two had a bad battery and would not charge. Warranty does not cover apparently even brand new.

Review Posted 09/26/2023
Unit was broken right out of box. They would not send me another gave me numbers to call about getting it repaired. Been almost 4 weeks unit is still broken and people they recommend drag there feet on repair. I had to buy another generator to be able to run camper at deer camp while we wait for repairs. Highly recommend do not buy from here buy from a better source with good customer service.

I have not had a chance to use the generator but it starts fine and is quiet. I inspect Generac generators for the Building Department as an inspector and everyone seems to love them.

Four Year Re-Review
By Eric Z.
Texas
Review Posted 01/25/2023
I wrote a pretty harsh review on this unit in April 2019 and at the time it was deserved. I brought it in for repairs, Generac had it fixed properly and I've been running this thing HARD ever since. Just keep the carbon burned off of the exhaust and change the oil properly and you should be good. No problems since the unit was returned to me and I came back to this site to look for another iq3500 and parallel kit and wheel kit as this is heavy.

Great Generator

Review Posted 01/19/2023
Works well for a lot less money than a Honda & very quiet. After a lot of research I have decided to run 4 cycle Trufuel in it. This a backup Generator for my house and I plan to check and start it once a month. I wish it had wheels, looks like I will have purchase a cart for it. Overall very happy with my purchase.
