Perfect size
This generator is a perfect size for small projects I work on in my shop. We have an RV and will most likely use it for any trip we may plan.
We just purchased the generator today. I have only used it for a small project. I was pleased with it and really liked how quite is was.

the little generator that can do the job
My wife requires medical equipment 24/7 so we require power the same. This Generac product has proved to be a little workhorse.

Work horse
I had my eye on the other name brands and happen to find this one on sale and bought it on a whim. Couldn’t be happier, it has powered my appliances during a hurricane outage. I’ve used it for power tools around the farm for repairs and maintenance. Mostly I use it to power my boat lift, which lost its underground service earlier this year. I used it several times a week to run the 2800lb 1/2hp boat lift up and down. I did the calculations and it should not have enough power to start the motor, but it manages. It definitely has its limitations, keep in mind this is good for one large appliance, or a few small ones. I have definitely tripped the breaker and choked it off, but give it a second to rest and crank it up again. Also, this generator is quiet, I can easily have it running and talk on the phone right beside it. One more thing, I taught my six year old son to start it, easy.

Generac GP2200i Portable Generator
Decided to buy this generator in Aug, 2020 with using it for camping in mind, but due to COVID 19 have postponed camping. In November, 2020 we had a major ice storm in Edmond, OK and were without power for 5 1/2 days. This little generator was a real life saver. It helped us power several items at different times, i.e. refrigerator, coffee maker and television and allowed us to charge our phones, laptops, etc. It is amazing how God plants a thought into your mind and you act on it and everything works out as it should. Thanks, Generac for an excellent product. It started immediately and ran like a champ for the full 5 1/2 days. We will probably get another one for 2021 camping season.

So far very happy with this generator
So far I have used this to run a fridge, tv, and network gear during a power outage from a sever thunderstorm. Had it running for a couple of hours until power was restored.
It starts up pretty easy. The engine bogs a bit under surge loads, but that's life. With eco mode off it handles the surge well enough that it does not seem to be an issue.
Prior to the power outage I had been heat cycling the engine to help it break in. Basically led it idle in eco, off eco, with a load and without, shut down and let it cool and cycle it again. I did purchase an install an hour meter to measure engine rpm and run time so I can be on top of the maintenance cycle.
Put some silicone grease on the grommets for the access panel to make it pop on and off easier.
It is fairly quiet and easy to carry. Being quiet is important as I have neighbors on all sides of me, so not lookin to upset anyone. You know how people are these days...
I am happy to have this around, even the wife, who was initially against it, was happy to be able to enjoy some sort of normal life while the power was out. I always stressed about losing the contents of the fridge/freezer. I am now looking for a way to see if I can power our furnace in the winter if needed.

Perfect for a novice like me!
This generator is almost idiot proof. It came with important extras like tools, oil, and funnel. I read the instructions and watched a 15 minute video. I did exactly as instructed and it started like a dream. I'm a 50+ female and not very outdoorsy. It's not too heavy for me to move so no wheel base needed. I live in an extremely cold climate so now I feel much more secure knowing my little generator is ready if needed. Be sure to keep up on the maintenance schedule which is provided. I bought a cover for it. This is a perfect little generator for someone like me!
