Our take on the Generac IQ3500 3000/3500w Ultra Quiet Electric Start Inverter Generator

The Generac iQ3500 is a 3,000-watt running / 3,500-watt starting portable inverter generator with electric start and a 2.6-gallon tank. It runs about 8.9 hours at half load and weighs 109 lb, so it is portable but not a one-hand carry. Its inverter output is clean enough for laptops, TVs and tools, and two units can be paralleled for double power with a kit sold separately. The best new price is $928.00 at FactoryPure as of November 5, 2026, with 5 stores listing it new.

About the Generac IQ3500 3000/3500w Ultra Quiet Electric Start Inverter Generator

Whether you're camping, tailgating or on the job, the iQ3500 Portable Inverter Generator delivers the power you need. The durable, lightweight design is engineered for easy portability when you're on the go. An intuitive Power Dial integrates the start, run and stop functions into 1 simple-to-use dial for faster startup. 2 engine speeds greatly reduce noise and fuel consumption or maximize power response. Unlike standard generators, inverter generators utilize a different type of alternator to generate AC power. The result is a portable generator with clean power that is capable of safely powering sensitive electronics and tools.

Questions and answers

Is the iQ3500 quiet enough for a campground?
Yes. It is an inverter generator with a low-speed mode, and owners describe it as quiet at light loads. It is still a gas generator, so check campground rules on run hours.
Can it run a refrigerator and a furnace fan?
Usually yes. Its 3,000 running watts cover a fridge plus a furnace fan or a few lights. Add up surge watts for anything with a motor before starting it.
Does it come with a battery and oil?
Yes. The box includes the generator, a battery, a bottle of oil, a manual and the warranty. You add gasoline.
Can I connect two iQ3500 units together?
Yes, it is parallel-ready, but the parallel kit (#7668) is sold separately. Two units give twice the power.
Is $928 a good price?
That is the best new price among 5 stores as of November 5, 2026, at FactoryPure. Compare against the other listings before buying, since prices move.
Does it have a 240V outlet?
No. It is 120V only, with two outlets. For 240V you need a different model or a step-up transformer.
