Generac 7127 iQ3500 3,500-Watt Gas-Powered Portable Inverter Generator - Durable, Lightweight Design - Speed Selection for Quiet Performance or Maximum Power - CARB Compliant - Orange/Black

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.

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.

Using this for piwer in our RV while we build, and it is amazing. We have pretty light consumption, using propane for heat and hot water, so this runs the fridge, a dehumidifier, a TV, and a couple of lights while keeping the battery topped off. I get about 13 hours between fill ups, and it is QUIET! Oil changes are a pain - recommend getting a piece of tubing to put over the fill port and through the port on the side of the casing for mess free draining. 2 year update. This ran for 11,300 continous trouble free hours before it finally started to die. Pretty sure it is rated for 3000 hours with intermittent use. As time went on the electric start switch started to get intermittent contact, and the spark arrestor got so clogged I think the back pressure killed it (note to self, clean that every now and then). Overall could not have been happier. Replaced it with a second of the same model. For the money no one touches it.

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. .

Was extremely simple to assemble and after putting it together and adding oil (provided) and gas it started first time with my electric starter. What's so unbelievable is it's so quiet for a generator of this size. The only thing I wish is it would come on a wheel frame as it is extremely heave for me. I purchased a garden wagon with collapsible sides and it fits perfectly so I can wheel it wherever I want... extremely pleased so would buy again! Oh...it runs my fridge... freezer and my lights all together...great generator

Awesome generator,super quiet and reliable Well build Only wish it had wheels,I knew that before purchasing

Es menos mucho menos ruidoso que los generadores normales. Mantiene la energía que aporta, desde el principio.

Love this generator for camping I had the Air conditioner on in my RV lights on Keurig coffee maker on no issues

Consistent power and quiet. I will suggest the wheel kit. It's heavy.

I did a lot of research before choosing a generator, we went with the IQ3500 because it was well rated. We followed the instructions, added the oil..etc. Ran the generator for one hour on power saver mode with zero load. Everything worked perfectly. About a month later, I decided to start the generator up for another run, the thing was bouncing all over the place, stuttering, barely staying on. I stopped it and looked inside, oil was leaking all over the place. Took it to a generac licensed shop (Gentech), it's been there for over 1.5 months now and they're giving us the run around. We dont have time to work on it they said, it is what it is.. All in all, completely disappointed with our generator, we paid good money for it, brand new and it's broke, cant get it repaired.. I would not purchase again.
