Generac7127 iQ3500 3,500-Watt Gas-Powered Portable Inverter Generator - Durable, Lightweight Design - Speed Selection for Quiet Performance or Maximum Power - CARB Compliant - Orange/Black

Great generator... super quiet and very efficient. It is a little heavy, but not bad for a portable 3000w unit. I would highly recommend!!

Came with a bad starter battery out of the box, so I contacted Amazon and was given a partial refund. Bought a $25 replacement battery and now it works like a champ. Instructions are clear and setup was easy. Runs ridiculously quiet, especially in eco mode. Outputs 3000w as advertised without breaking a sweat. Only complaint I have is that it doesn't run on propane, but I knew that ahead of time. It also doesn't have wheels, so it has to be picked up and moved, or you can buy a furniture dolly from harbor freight for like $13 if you want to roll it around on smooth surfaces. Overall, it's built well, does what it's supposed to do, and isn't insanely heavy. Definitely recommend.

First of all, know that this thing is a beast. It's built like a tank and weighs like one too. It's not easy for me to move around on my own, so I built a cart with big 10" wheels to roll it around.I just finished my first weekend using this generator for 4 days straight. Here's my observations:It's really quiet. I had several people asking me where I bought it and details about it's capability. There was a honda running closeby and both sounded about the same in terms of noise. There was another trailer setup about 75 feet away with a jobsite type generator - the noise coming from that thing drowned out mine where I had to check several times to ensure it was still running.It's powerful. It had more than enough power for my 9K btu Air Conditioner and anything else I ran off it (fans, coffee maker, battery charger, etc.) It was actually the keurig (1500 watts) in combination with the AC which drew the most power.It's economical. This thing ran for 20 hours before running out of gas. I had it in eco mode and didn't expect that kind of time on 2.5 gallons of gas. I used 89 octane, no ethanol fuel. The temps were warm in the day (85-ish and sunny) and cool at night (60-ish), so the AC was not using max wattage all the time.I am absolutely happy with my purchase and recommend this generator highly.

GOOD NEWS— the unit is very well packed and has all the accessories you need including a special oil funnel and spark plug wrench. The unit is in fact, very quiet and started easily. The layout on the dashboard is great and seems to be a first class product, which is what I expected.BAD NEWS- well, it started very easily by pulling on the rope. The electric start did not work. I read the manual twice and couldn’t figure out what I was doing wrong. I opened the battery door and pulled the battery out and guess what…the battery was not connected. They have very detailed instructions, including on how to take the generator out of the box but mentioned nowhere to hook up the battery!6-1-23 please look at the attached photograph of the oil leak on my floor after owning the generator for one week. It probably has run for five minutes now I get to try and contact your horrible customer service and ask her replacement unit.Doesn’t work with Generac TRANSER SWITCH. THE SWITCH REQUIRES 240 volts. This not mention in any of their literature per their tech support. Soooo i need to buy a bigger generator. Can’t return this one because i put gas in the tank. .

Runs great, quiet, well made. Be very careful to follow the starting instructions in the operators manual and you will be happy. If you don't follow those instructions, this generator may be hard to start but when done the right way, mine starts with one or at most, two pulls.

I give the Generac 7127 iQ3500-3500 Watt Portable Inverter Generator a 4 out of 5 star rating. After using this through all 4 seasons around the home and out camping, I can say that this Wisconsin assembled generator performs well, is the most quite generator I've ever owned, and it's lighter than the other two generators we have in our fleet.The Pros:Great power, strong runner. I've used this thing in zero temps running a 7,000 Watt electric heater all night long.Easy controls, though it doesn't have an LED fuel indicator like some of the other models.Easy enough for me to toss in the back of the Jeep or trailer. At about 100 pounds it's lighter than my Honda 3000i was.Electric start and pull starts easily. I killed the electric start battery using this over winter, but it pulls so easily I never replaced it.Affordable, half the cost of some of the other generators in this market.It's whisper quiet. Dead serious, this thing is the most silent generator I've ever used.Eco mode works really well to adjust to a load.Cons:It's not as refined as the Honda or Yamaha generators.It's more fussy about being level while running.It's large (but all the 3000 series generators in this market are about the same size)Overall, this is a nice unit. It's affordable, easy to use, locally made, and easy to get support and parts for. I'll do a review video when I have the chance and compare it to the Yamaha side by side.

Got for emergency reasons only as we live on gulf coast . Showed up 2 weeks before BERYL did .Ran great . Ran for 3 days straight without a break . Extremely quiet compared to my other generator.Oil drain I felt was kinda goofy but at least it does have an oil drain plug compared to othersThis easily powered a Toshiba 12,000btu portable AC and a Samsung double door refrigerator , and an oscillating fan , and StarlinK internet , and 75” tv and soundbar and few LED light bulbs and such . Max it ran was 1400 wattsI went with generac mainly due to 3 year warranty and the vast locations of service centers . Wheels or a wheel kit woulda been nice as it weighs 100lbs but I’ll make something work out of a furniture dolly
