    Another great video. Being able to hook 2 of the GENMAX together and get 240 volts is a major upgrade. The way I'd advertise it is "One for the camper two for the home"
  • @berettaguy7445
    Apples and oranges, but the Honda certainly gave a good account of itself, as Honda's usually do. The GenMax sounds like every other Chinese generator I've heard. Not surprised to see it cry "uncle" a mere 200 watts over it's advertised running wattage, while the Honda went about 900 watts over before quitting...impressive.
  • @danielmcneill13
    All you have to do to decide which is the better generator is LISTEN to them running The Honda sounds so much smoother and quieter. It comes at a price though.
  • Good review. I must say I really like the wheel/handle set up on the Genmax...as well as being less than half the price. Thanks Gavin.
  • @simplecyberclub
    Once GenMax gains a solid folowing and is able to meet the same quality and decibel level as Honda, they are going to corner the market. GenMax seems to listen to what customers want with all the add-ons and technology (push-button start and digital displays). They just need a better supply chain and repair network.

    The Honda sounds way smoother while the load is being applied. Would love to see this exact test done on the 2200 Honda. And the 6300 Yamaha inverter! The way you can slowly add wattage with the dial is awesome.

    Team red for me but for the price I'd rather get 2 eu2200 gens and parallel cables. Bring both when ac is needed. Bring 1 when the ac isn't needed. Great videos as always!

    Honda’s great, but so is the competition. Honda ruled alone for years, for a while now the competition has been real.
  • @jakebarnier5188
    Can you show us the battery? I had a pulsar and was disappointed in the battery setup
  • @hdpptowing5736
    I have the GenMax 3,500 dual fuel, and two older square stackable Champion 2,000 generators with 550 and 600 hours each I use to provide power to my rentals units when I'm working on them when empty. The GenMax is quiter than the Champions. The Champions have been quite enough for mooch docking and barely audible overnight at homecoming. I only use my generator to dry camp when tailgating at homecoming or festivals...probably 50 hours a year at best, and i believe either generator would serve those purposes very well. I have soft starters on both A/Cs.
  • @spyder000069
    If you disconnect the battery on the genmax (simulating a dead battery) will it still pull start?
  • @mikeienuso1926
    Hi Gavin. Hope you’re well. Are they both Floating neutral generators? When using Receptacles, do they need a Grounding Plug? Thank you sir. Mike ienuso.
  • @IBDL_adventures
    My main question is what is the run time for 1 gas tank for the genmax. I’m considering it but I don’t want something that would not last cause I want it for an air conditioner at night on a boat.
  • @KevinRedmondWA
    Gavin, any idea on how to bypass the CO sensor? My 6000ied is blinking and can’t seem to find the sensor anywhere. I run the gen outdoors only.
  • @AJ-qn6gd
    If you can afford it buy the Honda, you’ll not regret it 👍🏻🇬🇧
  • @rebellucy6200
    Genmax keeps dropping new models and are very affordable. Long term Quality is reflected in the price so keep that in mind when purchasing one.
