I had decided a few months ago that the next generator for our TT will be the lightweight 3200 watt. Based on your review and a little research it should work fine on the 13.5K AC even in extreme hot weather.
Amazing lineup to have in one place at one time. 2000 and 10,000 are where we're at on a small farm. This channel is awesome, thank you. I like that new 7250.
Nice line-up. I just purchased the Cummins 4500i. So far its good. A tad bit of surging. Suspect it was my fuel. Drained the fuel and starting over again.
Some of the these are stong enough for home backup or RV AC use but don't hold enough gas for running overnight. The dual fuel options are better if this is an issue for you. My 3600 dual fuel (Wen) runs about 10 hours on a 15 lb propane tank at 50% load. Thanks for the thorough review. Looks like they have a generator for every need.
I have 2 of the little 1200i models. I bought one, and liked it so much I bought another. It's been a big help here since hurricane idalia hit here. Still no power at my place, and they have been great for keeping my food from going bad and giving some basics. I have a large generac, but the little ones run all day on far less gas. So it's a trade off. Run more with more fuel, or run what you absolutely need, and save gas.
Wow!!!!’ Dude you are something else!!!!! ❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍 GREAT JOB!!!!!!! I love watching your show from Killeen Texas! I have learned a lot from you and I appreciate all that you put into these videos! God bless! 👍👍👍👍👍
My only reservation with the entire line is that these are all carburetor models. I prefer fuel injection. Carburetor models can freeze over. Great comparison though. Thanks Gavin!
Currently have the 6000 but very interested in replacing with the new 10500 for more headroom and to run off natural gas. Any chance it will be out in time for the TX emergency preparation sales tax holiday?
how does the 120/240 selector work? what if I'm back feeding an inlet to a interlock and using an extension cord for a frig. What selection is appropriate?
Interested in the 10,500 w inverter. Don't necessarily need tri-fuel, but other features meet my needs. This will be a replacement unit. Thanks for the reviews!
As Tim the Tool-man says: "More Power!" But the reality for me is smaller is easier to lug around. 3600 watts (30 amps) is all I need for my RV but I'd have to have 2 smaller ones in parallel. When I don't need A/C, I can just use the one.
Gavin, do you know when the GMT 10500T will be released? The ability to double up such high running watts, would make for a perfect home back up / Stand by gen over here on the Gulf Coast.
Hey Gavin. Really cool talking to you today. Still waiting to sell both my Honda 2000 Generators to get something in the Genmax line. Leaning to the 50 amp series. Thanks for all your hard work. Really appreciate it. You ever in Albuquerque, I’ll treat you to a killer Breakfast Burrito. Lol. My best Dan. Albuquerque.
Only had my 7250 out just once since I got it and so far I really like it. Use it to run my 50amp camper and I can run both a/c units with micro air easy starts and only at 50%
I went with the 350iaed. I needed something I could run a Class B with propane. My Class B Sprinter has a propane tank built in underneath the chassis. No gas smell traveling with it in the van. It just came yesterday. We'll see how well it does.
I have been shopping various duel fuel inverter generators (Detroit area is notorious for power outages). Genmax has been on top of my list. Do you have any videos about warranties, parts and customer service on the various manufacturers?
A warranty video would be great. Not covered very well on many websites. I am also looking into extended warranties (are they worth it?) and what extended warranty my credit cards offers. Thanks!!
I would see myself with the GM6000ied because its the smallest 240V dual fuel inverter generator. I want just enough of a genny to energize both legs of my breaker panel while keeping the fuel requirements low. I have a 4500 watt Champion right now, but it's not 240V. The GenMax company is certainly trying to offer the most variety in generators but I don't know how reliable or widespread their support is in the US.
You can energize both legs of your panel by making an adapter plug where you tie both hots from your panel to the single hot of the 120 volt genny. There are two important things to note by doing this. First you must make sure to never turn on any 240V breakers in your panel (except the 240V breaker being used to power the panel by the genny). Only the single 120V breakers. Second you need to make sure you don't overload the neutral. Since you only have a 4500 watt generator I don't think you will have that problem. Most likely the generator's built in breaker will be the limiting factor. Of course this is all assuming you use an interlock kit on your fuse panel and have the genny coming into the panel through a dedicated 240V breaker. I use this same method so that I can run my small honda eu2000i generator at night since its quiet and uses less fuel. I can just selectively put on which 120V breakers I need so we have lights, my wife has her fan, we have our internet/tv, etc.
Wonder if you can configure a genmax 3fuel with ATS , capable of automatic start on and power off, when the grid goes out, similar configuration as the permanent systems like the generac, champion etc.
@@GeneratorReviews well I’m really torn between the Genmax 9000 and duromax 9000 Can you tell me your thoughts on the fuel consumption. For the same motors they get quiet a different fuel economy between the two… Powering a 3 ton Ac and then just the very basic essentials during a power outage. Duromax on sale for $1700 So really need/would appreciate your thoughts Thanks again!
Hello I have a question I have a Genmax 7250iedc and having problems. I’m wanting to know if the gas and LP knob turns all the way around for you? Like can you turn the knob where is it facing downwards? Past the gas option etc? I’m trying to figure out if my carburetor is bad or if the knob is bad. Thank you for any assistance
@@GeneratorReviews your right. I literally went out there after watching your video and took the knob apart/off and you are correct stripped on the inside. I came back here to delete my message and saw you already wrote me back. Thank you for the quick response and you are correct, sir. 🍻 Your the reason I even bought this one. Ohhhhh and by the way I also learned that when we went to Colorado I was supposed to adjust the card bc it would hardly even run one AC. But we was staying 10k feet up above sea level
I owned the 6000 open frame gen and I hated it. Louder than I wanted and it didn't do well when starting electric motors. Even a circular saw was a struggle to start if eco mode was on. I wouldn't recommend that machine after my experience. I'm in the market for the 2k to 4k portable inverter currently. I do like the genmax 2k, but I'm waiting until some of the new models come out this summer hopefully.
I use non-ethanol gas in mine and I put stabilizer in it too and I crank it ever so often I have never had no problem and I run it empty and in the carburetor before I cut it off
Hey Gavin.... can't find anything online, even Genmax website... when is the new 12k inverter going to be available in the US? Any idea of pricing? Is the 10k that is still "boxed in" like the 9500 priced similar? The 12k one.. is that going to be open frame style or like the 9500's? Would be helpful to learn more on the big boy genny's I'm in need of continuous 50Amp output @ 240v & ideally not needing to run @ 100% capacity, to get continuous 50amps... a dual inverter would do that, but takes up double the footprint/double weight. If anyone knows this early, it'd be you. Thanks.
Is it safe to conclude that the tri fuel model with the bigger inverter has a higher baseline instantaneous available wattage at idle compared to the other two 9000 watt models? In other words, the engine would rev up less for an identical load to meet the demand compared to the gas and dual fuel models?
Ugh! I've been waiting forever for the 12k inverter... nobody knew if it was just a thought or if it was actually coming... I bought the 9k dual fuel & it's great, but I really needed that extra few amps.....I only have 6 hours on mine & now the one I need comes out..... not happy.
Still waiting for the new gen sets to arrive. Where are they? T h e last email I got will be June. Kind of strange genmax showed them off in January and into February. My emails started to show the arrival date as March then April then May, now June. Hope no later, starting to show some unreliability in communications
Any first hand experiences with their warranty, and customer support? I keep hearing that their service is near non existent. Fantastic lineup, but on the fence concerning their ability to support their products.
I think you need to buy the biggest one you can afford because if you lose power at your home you may wish you had a big one in my case I went with a big one so I could order power my whole house if needed
a parallel that supports 30 amps . to me 1 is none 2 is one . Dual fuel would be a +. I figure if one goes down i would at least one to have something to make coffee. thanks.
@@GeneratorReviews I've followed you channel for some time. Thanks for your input and hard work. I live in Conroe and look forward to coming by your your shop in cypress meeting you and making a purchase. Again thanks
@@GeneratorReviews How widespread are GenMax dealers in the country/in Texas where I live?? I know some of the smaller gennies are found in Lowes and Home Depot. Do they carry parts for them or will a dealer like yourself need to supply parts, especially for the newer models like the GM17 kW or some of the larger inverters?
Saw a video of a guy struggling with a Chinese company to get warranty parts. It made me very Leary of purchasing one. I’m getting down to the wire on selecting one
After my dad and I both bought brand new Generac GP2200i (Chinese-made, not actually made by Generac), both were absolute garbage and didn't last more than two years. I'm leery of buying any other Chinese-made inverters no matter what name is on the side. They're probably all made in the same couple factories. I'll save my money and buy either a Honda or Yamaha inverter where you can get local service through a dealer service department.
With the proper maintenance, I think any decent brand, including the Honda and Yamaha can last for over 10+ years. The number one killer of generators is leaving gasoline in the tank and carburetors.
I am hoping to use the tri-fuel to charge the batteries in my Enphase system, or power my whole house in a grid-down situation. Not sure it will integrate with my Enphase Controller II box and an IT 10 Battery with Enphase solar panels with IQ8 Inverters. Any insights?
Well, you will never have an issue with lack of power. The "gold mine" of inverter heaven. Cheers.
You are doing a great job for Genmax and I am sure that they appreciate it! I do because this is the only way I find out what I should buy.
Inverter max Gavin Gen Show. I love it. A ground breaker. No one does a show like you. The reason I purchased a Gen Max.

You’ll have to clean the carburetor jets and drain it before storage.
What’s parts availability like? For example, if I needed an inverter board or a connecting rod on a 5 year old unit.
You can get any parts you need from the manufacturer
I love both of my Genmax. But my favorite so far is the GM6000iED. I can't wait for the EFI one to come out. Great job buddy.
Hey buddy
I know you’re waiting for that one should be coming soon. I can’t wait to test it.
Some of the these are stong enough for home backup or RV AC use but don't hold enough gas for running overnight. The dual fuel options are better if this is an issue for you. My 3600 dual fuel (Wen) runs about 10 hours on a 15 lb propane tank at 50% load. Thanks for the thorough review. Looks like they have a generator for every need.
Wow what an extensive lineup 👍. There has to be one for each person’s taste & needs. Great job thanks. ❤.
Yes you would think so but they’re still asking for the ones I don’t have😅
I have 2 of the little 1200i models. I bought one, and liked it so much I bought another. It's been a big help here since hurricane idalia hit here.

My only reservation with the entire line is that these are all carburetor models. I prefer fuel injection. Carburetor models can freeze over.
Great comparison though. Thanks Gavin!
I like the idea of a parralell setup with 2 7000 inverter generators for home use. Perfect setup and up to 14k watts.
Yes! Absolutely great idea👍🏾
Currently have the 6000 but very interested in replacing with the new 10500 for more headroom and to run off natural gas. Any chance it will be out in time for the TX emergency preparation sales tax holiday?
Hopefully it will be ready for sale
how does the 120/240 selector work? what if I'm back feeding an inlet to a interlock and using an extension cord for a frig. What selection is appropriate?
The 120 240 V selector pretty much just turns off one leg
Interested in the 10,500 w inverter. Don't necessarily need tri-fuel, but other features meet my needs. This will be a replacement unit. Thanks for the reviews!

That's what I planned for Hurricaine Ian and when all the gas dried up I still had power for days cause the smaller units are so much more efficient.

The ability to double up such high running watts, would make for a perfect home back up / Stand by gen over here on the Gulf Coast.
Hopfully it gets released mid to late summer. I think the starting price will be around $2800.
Thanks for the awesome lineup

I like the 7000 because of the Propane Continues wattage output.
That is one of my favorite one the size weight, and dual fuel makes it a perfect backup generator
