The IQ 2000 Generac has been very reliable. It is well build and runs quiet. The best features besides being quiet are the power meter and the "time to run" gage, under the current load. The time to run on the fuel in the tank allows the user to actually see if it will make it through the night with the load put on it. I now know what to expect when running various appliances without concern if it will run out of fuel during the night. This allows me to optimize its use. I wasn't sure about the switch to choose economy, standard, or turbo when I bought it, but this has also proven valuable. If I want to run just a standard box fan, the generator will not have hardly any load. With the switch in economy mode, the generator will conserve fuel it doesn't need to use for supplying such a small electrical load. The generator is 1 inch wider than the Honda. It maybe a little more awkward for some to carry. It is worth it for the extra sound padding. The IQ2000 generator only has the one duplex outlet where others have USB plugs and 12 volt connections. I have found that if I want to charge my phone or run such items then I don't want to do it stuck right next to the generator itself. Extension cords work best and the duplex alone works fine.The features of this generator have been very well thought out. When buying any generator keep in mind to check the continuous watt output. This provides 1600 continuous and 2000 surge. This is the same as the Honda. Generac is a company that specializes in generators. This was a factor in choosing it. The Honda has a proven record but does not have the features of the Generac. It is also more expensive. I am very satisfied that I went with the Generac. Read full review

The generator is advertised to be an alternative for the Honda eu2000. If you are wanting a basic generator that is extremely quiet to recharge batteries in an RV this will work fine. However, it will not provide enough power to run a microwave or television in the RV.

This is a great generator. But you need to remember it's only a 2000 watt generator. If you're going to run an air conditioner you need two of these tied together with the parallel cable. I don't care what your buddy down the street says 1600 watts is not going to run and air conditioner. These are quiet reliable and this is my second one. Together they run my camper and air conditioner. They did have a problem from the manufacturer with cables not being fully seated behind the head plate so when people receive them the gauges don't light up or does not run right. All you need to do is remove the front screws and make sure those plugs are connected in the back.

I bought this to run my travel trailer AC unit and it does okay. I'm at 5,000ft so I lose 3.5% for every 1000ft above sea level. So I'm running 17% less power. Can't run microwave among won't AC. the other issue is the generator would get bogged down really weird and then the AC would cut out. So I would turn on the AC and sometimes it would turn back on. Sometimes not. Not sure if I have to wait a few minutes before I turn the AC back on it what. Starts right up and easy to carry. Don't forget to buy an RV cord adapter as the parallel unit connector doesn't work with the plug.

Tools Plus Outlet is where I got mine, they had the best price and shipped fast and packed it up great. I have a small Honda that I really like but this one is quieter, has great features and was easy to start. I do a little DIY stuff away from 110v and like having power for heating and cooking in a power out. I like Ryobi tools and considered the Ryobi generator until I realized the generator is from China and may not be easy to service. I have a larger Generac Standby Generator and am satisfied with their quality and reliability.....So when I saw there was a new small Generac there was no question except for price and I found a good one.
