Today I review the GENMAX GM9000iED dual fuel generator that I purchased to use as my emergency home backup power source. Of the three or four 9000 - 9500 watt inverter generators on the market (at the time of this video) I feel this model has the most features for the best price. (see below) I chose to use a portable generator for home standby electricity instead of a built-in whole house Generac Guardian, QuietSource, or PowerPact stand-by because I have a fairly small house and I do not require more wattage than the 7600 running watts of this GENMAX. This generator will even start my home central air conditioning A/C condensing unit without a hard start, or Micro Air easy start kit installed. With our power grid in questionable condition, power outages can happen at any time, especially up here with our thunderstorms, lightning storms, ice storms, tornadoes, etc, etc. Even for those who live in hurricane country, this generator is perfect for those emergency grid down situations. Look what happened in Texas last year..... It never hurts to be prepared. For those who rely on a home oxygen concentrator or CPAP machine, extended power outages can be a real problem. Even those "Solar Generators" (basically a battery in a box) can probably only get you by for a few days, at best before you need real power to keep yourself going.
The specs of this generator are....
120 / 240 volts.
it has one 240 volt 30 amp outlet, one 240 volt 50 amp outlet, and two duplex 120 volt GFCI protected outlets.
458cc 4-stroke OHV engine produces 9000 peak watts and 7600 rated watts with 6.9 gallon fuel tank.
As Low as 62 dBA Noise with 25%loading at 23 feet distance.
CO DETECT Automatically turns off the generator when an unsafe level of carbon monoxide is detected.
Low engine oil level shut off
The GENMAX GM9000iED compared to the “tool store” version of this generator....
The GENMAX is quieter! Its rated at 62dB, the tool store generator is rated at 67dB
The GENMAX has a full digital multi meter showing power usage, the tool store generator only has an hour meter.
The GENMAX has automatic engine choke with remote start, the tool store generator does not.
The GENMAX has an engine oil filter screen, the tool store generator does not have any form of engine oil filtration.
The GENMAX is dual fuel compatible (gasoline and propane), the tool store generator is only setup to burn gasoline.
The GENMAX has a 50 amp receptacle built in so no adapters are needed when plugging in large RVs, The tool store
generator does not have this. (And I don’t believe any of the other 9000 watt inverter generators on the market have
it, either… at least at the time of this video)

The NON dual fuel version of this same generator can be found here:

The other 9000 - 9500 watt inverter generators are the DuroMax, the Predator, and the A-I Power. Although, I believe they all advertise the same 7600 running watts.

This was by far the best video I've seen on this product. Thank you so much for putting the time and effort in on this and being so thorough. I've liked and subscribed. Look forward to more details on making this a safe and future auxiliary power plant for my home.
-
I have this same generator. I like it a lot. No regrets on the purchase.

great video, I've got the "Tool Store" 3500w one but I've been researching a bigger one with 240v for my needs, all I've found was the old fashioned noisy lawnmower Loud generators. Being an inverter style while still having 240v 50A outlet is just what I've been searching for! The remote start is a cool feature. it would be nice if it was a full 50A, but I'll sacrifice a few amps for half the noise & a Clean sine wave output! They seem to have thought this out, BIG gas tank so it'll run a good time, a load meter & a nice battery quick disconnect. even flip up handels to move it. This size genny isnt cheap so its nice to see a steel cage/bar so i can secure it so it stays mine! My neighbor bought an EV... I'll wait for him to run out of charge & I'll hafta go rescue him since this will do level 2 charging...lol..

Thank you for doing this video. This is very thorough AND including the shipping info! I also enjoyed the oil change video you did on this machine along with the break in oil and the drain hose. I'm just a little nervous about the long term dependability. Please re-post if you have any problems. I may order one in the next couple weeks. You're a good man and keep up the vid's. Just subscribed!

Just bought this one myself. Very quiet for the power, and power is clean for the Gen input of my Solar Inverters I use it to charge my batteries if there are long periods of bad weather.
-
Great Videos!! You have certainly helped me with the decision of which brand to look at!! Keep up the good work!!
-
Thank you for the sharing! It's really helpfull!
-
Thank you very much for you answer. I just un bonded it took about 30 mins
-
I did my research and this genny is for me, I thought. Genmax now has a 10,500 Tri-fuel. I’ll connect using the 50a connector. Thanks and great video review!!
-
Right on Brian, Great review. I can tell you researched this purchase to death, and you really like this unit. -Chuck

Just caught your Video today, and will receive the Generator tomorrow. And just saw that they Have a New 10500 Tri fuel coming out Soon, with a Full or better 50 Amp

I made a chart with all the big inverter generators with their features. The Genmax beats all the rest with the only exception being the 1 year warranty.

Hi Brian - Good video, very informative. I'm currently considering this generator or the Duramax version for occasional home backup (Duramax is on sale now and is about $200 cheaper than the Genmax), but don't like that the warranty is only one year compared to duramax's three years. Reading some reviews online also suggest that duramax's warranty and customer service are much better. Amazon offers a third party warranty, resulting in the Genmax costing about $350 more currently over the Duramax. Also, according to the only fuel consumption statistic I can find for both is for gasoline at 25% load - Duramax 20 hrs, and Genmax 14.5 hrs. It's hard to believe the duramax would be that much more efficient based upon how similar they are? Anyway, I primarily like the fact that the genmax has oil filtration, better cooling (in theory), and exhaust in the rear. The 50 amp receptacle does not matter much to me based upon my use case. Are there any other advantages to the Genmax you're aware of not covered in your video?
-
Did you remove bonded neutral wire b4 connecting to your house panel?..I'd you power hse through 50 amp plug?
-
I keep hearing about making it a floating neutral. Can i not plug into my transfer switch as is, without changing it over to floating neutral? That part is confusing.
-
Do the Genmax 9,000 generator has a electric start or a remote start ? And what types of oil it use ? Is it better to use ethanol free gas for this generator ? Can I put a electric stove that has a 220 line ?
-
Nice video. Do you still like the genmax 5 months later?
-
Try the 50 amp plug to power whole house..thnx

I really like GenMax units but time will tell on service. The tool store gens have locations all over the country and always try to make sure the customer is happy. On Amazon out of 432 reviews for Genmax as of today, 20% of those is 1 star due to issues and poor customer service. Once the tool store ups it 9500 model with dual fuel and al the new features I think GenMax will have to step up and offer better service and parts. But as I said I do like the Genmax Units.
