Description

The Generac iQ5200 DF (Model 8947) is the 50-state, CARB-compliant version of Generac's flagship dual-fuel inverter generator — the only iQ5200 DF variant approved for sale in California. If you need clean, quiet, portable power that meets the strictest emissions standards anywhere in the country, this is the model to choose. Power that adapts to your fuel supply. Running on gasoline, this generator delivers 3,900 running watts and 5,200 starting watts — enough to power a 13,500 BTU RV air conditioner, a full-size refrigerator, power tools, and multiple devices at once. Switch to a 20 lb propane tank and you get 3,500 running watts with up to 11 hours of runtime at 50% load, or up to 20 hours at 25% load on propane. The fuel selector switch on the control panel makes changing between sources seamless. Inverter-grade clean power. With less than 3% total harmonic distortion (THD), the iQ5200 DF safely runs laptops, tablets, CPAP machines, and other sensitive electronics without the need for a surge protector or power conditioner. Smarter fuel management. Economy Mode automatically adjusts engine speed to match the demand of your load, reducing fuel consumption and noise when maximum output is not needed. The intelligent LED display shows real-time power output and fuel consumption so you stay in control. Safety at every level. COsense technology continuously monitors carbon monoxide and shuts the unit down automatically before CO reaches a hazardous threshold. Low-oil shutdown and GFCI-protected outlets add further layers of protection. Easy to start, easy to move. Push-button electric start with the included 12V lead-acid battery eliminates pull-cord effort. Never- flat wheels and a folding handle allow one person to position the generator across hard surfaces. At 111 lbs, it is sized for portability without sacrificing output. The optional Parallel Kit 7668 lets you link two iQ5200 DF units for up to 7,800 combined running watts. First oil change at 20 hours, then every 100 hours or once per season. Backed by a 3-year residential / 2-year commercial limited warranty.

  • Very quiet, light, duel fuel, quality generator!
Style: 5,200 Starting Watts Pattern Name: 49 State
I bought this one because my previous generac which was I believe 6200 watts was so heavy and so loud that I couldn't rent it out with my RV rentals this one is a 5200 watt and by myself filled up with gas I could lift it up and put it on my tow rack or my trailer or in the back of my pickup truck by myself(and the back of my pickup truck is a Ram 2500 that's a bit of a struggle to get it up that high but I can do it & I'm 57 years old) and they must have really been competing with Honda because this one is as quiet as a Honda generator it's nowhere near the price of one and generac is a very good brand that I've trusted for decades it also has electric start which is nice but it pull starts with one pull every time.. also the fact that this one runs on both gas and propane is a plus because if you run out of gas during a camping trip you can snag one of the propane tanks off of the RV and just use that.. this idols at around 85 to 92 decibels when tested standing right next to it and frankly some people talk louder than that.. when I stand about 12 to 15 ft away from it which is about how long my electrical cord for my RV is the decibels drop down between 70 to 76.. (The wind could have played a role in this too) .. ... show more

  • When life throws you a curve ball and you’re looking fastball
Style: 5,200 Starting Watts Pattern Name: 49 State
Very thankful to have this when the time comes. Easy to use, dual fuel gives you options when life throws the curveball and you’re looking for the fastball on the outer half of the plate. Really quiet during operation. Great generator for travel as well. Be prepared , make the purchase, make it great name in this type of equipment and get it through Amazon so that they bring it to your home. Saves you at least one time not hauling it. ... show more

  • Simple operation and extremely quiet
Style: 5,200 Starting Watts Pattern Name: 49 State
This is the quietest generator I have ever owned. I replaced two small generators with it and this one has 3 times the power and electric start. The price was right for the power it produces. It is heavy, however it had an ergonomic handle and no flat wheels. I highly recommend this generator.

  • Poor customer service
Style: 5,200 Starting Watts Pattern Name: 49 State
The generator may work fine. My issue is that the quick connect propane line provided arrived with the metal on the regulator broken in two pieces. I called generac and spoke w Max and also emailed generac and spoke with Cristina. Despite offers to send images of the broken part I was told I had to follow proper warranty protocol which involves scheduling a local dealer (nearest is 30 miles away... 50 min) to come out and diagnose the issue. Then a warranty claim would need to be filed and then I would have to wait to receive the new line. A new line can be ordered through Amazon for $27 and arrive in a day with the click of a button. I just wanted a credit for the part of $27 but that option was not given. The customer should not be inconvenienced and have to jump through hoops and steps and wait for a damaged line. This isnt something on the generator. Just a small accessory line that is universal. Poor service experience w generac. ... show more

  • Easy to put to put together, just add oil and attached the battery.
Style: 5,200 Starting Watts Pattern Name: 49 State
So far, so good, it started right up the first time I used propane. It is a little louder than I thought it would be. I can't wait to use it at the campground.
