    Detailed Test Results

    Delivered enough wattage to power our test appliances but could not handle surges well. Provided especially clean power with consistently high voltage. Fairly quiet from a distance of 23 feet, pleasing to neighbors if you'll run the generator overnight. Easy to start and (for portables) transport, with some helpful features for starting and operating the generator.

    About

    The Generac iQ2000 is part of the Generators test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Inverter Generators models like the iQ2000 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

    Power delivery: A high score means the generator delivers steady power and handles larger surges in demand. A top-scoring model manages spikes from appliances like air conditioners without trouble.

    Power quality: A high score means the generator delivers smooth, consistent voltage. A top-scoring model helps prevent brownouts and keeps sensitive electronics running reliably.

    Noise: A high score means the generator runs more quietly. Top-scoring models minimize noise, making them less likely to disturb your neighbors.
