Good Product With Issues
By Gordon Z.
Lewiston, Idaho
Purchased 06/23/2016 |
Review Posted 08/05/2019
Worked well, after 32 hours an inverter went out, local repair facility ( 3 hour drive away) had generator for four months. Got it back this spring and didn’t use it. Now getting it ready for hunting season in October it will run independently but not in parallel and under a load. I’m thinking a simple adjustment, that unit wasn’t thoroughly checked out. I’ve called both Generac and PED with the conclusion that I return to a repair facility and now pay to get it repaired. At $80 an hour shop rates it may be cheaper to go to harbor freight and get a new one for hunting. .

Very sorry to hear about the problems that you've experienced with your generator. It is extremely important to always check the work that is performed after service. If the generator was checked in the Spring, any additional repairs that were needed would of been covered under the 3-Year Warranty.

Poor Pice Of Equipment

Review Posted 05/26/2018
They use what they call a trigger ystem to generate spark, it's internal and when it goes out you throw the unit away , mine was a 2015 and they said the cost was more than the unit was worth , it's now in a dumpster.

Best Generator Purchased So Far Compared To My 2 Older Generator
By Danny W.
San Mateo, California
Review Posted 10/05/2017
Quiet, light, gauges and easy to use, (main reason for buying this generator) ran 2 commercial fans to keep mosquitos within campsite from biting which is better than burning candles, watch movies running projector, excellent on fuel consumption, no complaints from neighboring campsites about noise (ran generator after 10pm to 12am),. Will be purchasing 2nd generator for parallel connections for double the power in case of emergencies. Can't compare to my older portable Honda 1850 Sports Generator, which is way louder and generates way more heavy exhaust fumes.

I Have Yet To Use My Generator for Camping
By Kenneth C.
Bremerton, Washington
Purchased 08/30/2017 |
Review Posted 09/05/2017
I haven't used my generator yet but will be using it in the next month or so. I was told by a friend that they have one and so far it has performed as well as the Honda EU2000i they had. I will be exited to have something other than my battery to run the electrical items in my 8 1/2' camper. I would drain the battery in one night and didn't want to keep buying batteries that would cost a couple hundred dollars. I like the idea that something quiet when running shouldn't bother your next door campers as well as myself. I am sure it will be a GREAT PRODUCT for what I will be using it for. I liked the quick delivery once I purchased it. I received it 3 days before the expected delivery date.

Very Impressed With the 1Q2000!
By Tom C.
Lynchburg, Virginia
Review Posted 07/14/2017
I purchased this model after considerable research and it has performed flawlessly for the first 50 hours. I also have Honda's EU2000i and both generators deliver what I need at our cabin. The Generac is a little quieter partially b/c of the foam insulation added. I have a larger Generac XG8000E at home and trust the company's reputation and product quality.

Gas Gauge Don't Work
By John S.
Eau claire, Wisconsin
Review Posted 05/14/2017
I'm on my 3rd unit now and gas gauge hasn't worked on any of them. Part to fix it was on back order for 4 months . When it finally came in Generac was unable to get a hold of their service dealer that the part was delivered to. They sent me a new generator and has the same problem as the other ones. Starts easy runs good just gas gauge don't work. One of the reasons I bought it was I thought that was a cool feature. Guess I will just have to deal with it not working.

Review Posted 03/29/2017
I only give 3 stars on quality because it being brand new and some time the fuel gauge and hour gauge does not work! Not happy that a brand new generator has to be worked on because of this. As far as it running and being quiet I think it has Honda beat! Once gauges are fixed it will be a 5 star generator.

Best purchase I made in five years. I love this generator. I have a 9000 Generac and 3500 Honda. I am glad I did not go with the Honda version. Features, quality and price made the purchase decision easy. No doubts I would buy another one.
