The Generac IQ3800DF Portable Dual Fuel Inverter Generator provides flexible, reliable power with dual-fuel operation on gasoline or propane. It delivers 3,000 running watts and 3,800 starting watts on gasoline, or 2,700 running watts and 3,400 starting watts on propane.
Built with inverter technology producing less than 3% THD, the IQ3800DF provides clean and stable power for sensitive electronics. The convenient push-button electric start and included battery make starting simple, while Economy Mode helps improve fuel efficiency during lighter loads.
The generator features COsense automatic carbon monoxide shutdown and low-oil shutdown for added operating protection. Its 3.28-gallon steel gasoline tank provides up to 13 hours of runtime at 50% load on gasoline, while propane operation provides up to 16 hours under the specified conditions.
