Title: EXCELLENT generator
Review: 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.

Title: Worth Every Penny
Review: This generator is so easy to start, and it's so quiet while running. It's amazing how long it runs on only 1 gallon of gasoline. Never worry about a storm or power outage again. What a quality generator by Generac!!

Title: Works â¦. And quiet .. just wish it had wheels
Review: 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 75â 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 Iâll make something work out of a furniture dolly

Title: . The battery is NOT connected! One week after delivery an OIL LEAK!
Review: GOOD NEWSâ 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 couldnât figure out what I was doing wrong. I opened the battery door and pulled the battery out and guess whatâ¦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.Doesnât 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. Canât return this one because i put gas in the tank. .

Title: Simple Setup and Start
Review: Easy to setup and get started. Runs smoothly and built solidly. It's about the size of a large ice chest and weighs twice as much as a full one. Definitely get another person to help you carry. I'm going to get the wheels I've seen other people mention.

Title: Affordable Option
Review: 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.

Title: Unbelievable
Review: 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

Review: I just receive it . Overall look (cosmetic) is fine. Connected the battery, filed up with oil, gas and started. Quite simple. It runs like a charm with absolutely no issues. I plugged in few power tools and they run fine too. I let it run for about an hour because I want to change oil. I have the feeling that it's a good unit. Down side is the missing wheels but for me is not a big concern as I'm really handy and I'll adapt some. I intend to instal remote start too as I did it to my other "Champion" generator. Compared with some misfortunate customers, I assume "luck" has a role too in all this purchasing experience. I'm happy with my choice and wish good luck to future customers.
Customers say
Customers like the quietness and power of the generator. They mention it's extremely quiet, performs well, and has no problem running their 13500 BTU AC on the camper. Customers are also satisfied with the value for money and ease of use. However, some customers have mixed opinions on the power source, weight, build quality, and overall quality.
