I bought the Genmax 10500 about a month ago. I did general testing, first oil change, and setup a connection in my shed. Very happy with it so far. I added a soft start to my air conditioner and this genmax will now run the whole house.

Good job Genmax. Good job Johnny. Keep the NG units coming!

Wow, they've really stepped up their game. Having both an Inverter and Trifuel with a pull start is the optimal solution, especially for SHTF and outright grid down situations.

Neat stuff! These products are getting better every year. I will be upgrading in the near future. Thanks to your reviews, I’ll make an informed and educated decision. Thanks Johnny!

I live in Houston,Tx. and going thru the power outages here now. A while back I set up a 3800watt inverter genny converted to trI-fuel. NG has saved our bacon. Its nice Genmax is producing EFI and trifuel units. I am seriously considering these units. We need trifuel open frame units that are quiet as possible.

Man gen max just killing it with all this new stuff i’m pretty sure the big one would run my entire house all at once that would be pretty nice but for now I’ll just have to keep using what I have for back up. Thanks for the updates on these products. Keep them coming.

That beige enclosed generator got my attention. Hope they price them right and make bigger ones too

the 17000 machine is at 13:27 , nice breakdown Sir... Appreciate it.

Genmax came out with several more generators this year that are EFI and tri fuel. All generators shown are inverter generators except the 12500 portable units. And sorry for the chopped video, there was just so much!! Wanted to show key points on the units. Stay tuned! #inverter #genmax #generator #homebackup Genmax units here and more……..

Do you know when they will offering the 17000 model to purchase? The big one.

It's interesting to see what they're working on. I'm still hoping to see the ATS actually come out since it was part of why I paid $3,000 for the 10500 last year.

Have you already reviewed the GM4000XiD, around 6:17 in the video? First tankless and modular generator and stackable 240v!?

Thanks, Johnny. We still don't have the GenMax 4600 fuel injection generator!

Looks great!

Waiting for a gen max propane only portable generator. A slightly larger version of an Alp for RV solar backup. There has to be a huge market for this.

Great generator 😎👍

Oh great, just ready to pull the trigger on a Champion and I see this video!!!😂😂😂😂😂

Do you have a link for the Natural Gas Demand safety cut off valve you like?

If they're going to target automatic backup for home battery, they should include 48V DC battery charging built in. Don't need AC output, especially AC inverter output. That would be a gamechanger.

When will the Gemmax 1700 be released, and at what price? Genmax’s website isn’t working at the moment so can’t find any info. Thanks!

What is the projected release date of the 10500 EFI AND THE 9500ITBX? I have currently have a Duromax, so I'm wondering if GenMax will parrallel with it?

Tks JW

What’s the weight on the 17000? Did they have a price estimate or release time frame?

Nice...... would be a nice to have a gas /fuel propane. Burn rate per Hypothetical. 50% load on each of those generators.

Hey I found the spec sheets for all these new ones. That small beige box one is not that quiet 65dbs.

Interested in the GM9500itbx for home backup power. Any idea on the cost and release date?

We need more larger Tri fuel inverters.

Hi Johnny. Thanks for all your great videos. Do you know when Genmax will be releasing the 17000 watt beast and the beige enclosed GM9500iTBX? Why oh why don't any companies make Propane-ONLY portable generators instead of all the dual/tri-fuel gens which have a huge gasoline tank that isn't needed for those who will never use gasoline?

Would you happen to know when the 17000 will be releasing?

At 14:26, you mention a selector switch on the 17000. Does that mean it will be a Tri-Fuel? I would preorder if it runs on Natural Gas.

When is that GM17000IE supposed to come out and will it put out enough power to charge an EV without paralleling it to another?

Did i read that correctly? The 17K is a tri fuel? I dont see it on their website.

I would ditch the gasoline. Just do propane and natural gas. My gas generator was so hard to start and has to rebuild the carb twice now. That will never happen with propane or NG. Save a little money and ditch the gas part. Also make it an inverter generator. Most people are not running a power saw.

I have not found any of them for sale anywhere? Thanks

Johnny, did you come across the ATS I keep hearing is coming?

The GenMax have more features but appear to use quite a bit more fuel

Where can I buy this new 17KW inverter generator? I can't seem to find it anywhere...even on Genmax's own website.

Where can I get that GM1700 from I can’t find it

Can you tell us a little bit about the warranty? I’ve heard horror stories about warranty on these things

Do you have an estimated release date?

If these are largely all new EFI generators, does that mean they will be CARB compliant? This is a problem when you are in California, your generator selection is small because most generators are not CARB compliant. I would think EFI would make it a lot easier to get a CARB compliant certification. What I think would be very handy, and this is touched on elsewhere in the comments, are 24V only for smaller generators and 48V only for larger generators with a wired in automatic start function and tunable max voltage for battery charging. The idea is say you have a 24V battery system for a small inverter or a 48V off grid power system, when the batteries get low, the generator can be automatically started and then the generator will run and charge up the batteries. DC-DC conversions can be very efficient and cheap hardware wise when done right. Especially if control can be setup with an off-grid solar inverter, say through RS-485 and Genmax works with the off-grid inverter manufacturers on a standardized generator control protocol, this could be a great way to add generator backup to an off-grid system. This is for example there is no battery in the generator because say it is getting 48V from a battery bank running all of your stuff and normally listens for commands off of an RS-485 port while otherwise in standby mode. When the batteries get low, say on a cloudy day, the inverter commands the generator to start. Then as the generator is running, the inverter could decide say there is not that much demand right now, charge the batteries at a low rate and so the generator runs at a low, quiet pace, or say it is hot, muggy, and overcast, so the AC is cranking away, throttle up to a high power. As these off-grid inverters know exactly how much power is being used and how much power they need as well as exactly how much power they are getting off of solar panels and even have battery charge profiles for the time of day and can get specs off of everything on the RS-485 communication bus in order to make decisions on how exactly to do everything, they can precisely control the DC generator. For say a poor man's 24V setup, maybe the generator senses for a "low voltage charge" window that is programmable, kicks on if the voltage is in this window for more than a few seconds (so say a hard starting motor doesn't trip it), and then the throttle can be manually adjusted while charging to a set cut-off voltage. The idea being if you unplug the generator or the battery develops a fault, it will not try to charge anything. But if it is plugged in and everything checks out, it will kick on when the batteries get low using the 24V link for power to start the generator, maybe rev up if it senses the batteries are draining faster than they are being charged, but otherwise just cruise along with whatever preset throttle setting you set for it with it being adjustable while the generator is running. So say your load is low, the generator will quietly cruise along and charge things up. But say you put a heavy load on your 24V system, it will detect the voltage dropping and then start revving up until either it gets back to that voltage or it hits max throttle. As demand drops down and voltage sense says voltage is going up, it could throttle down until it hits the cruise throttle setting and then lets the voltage climb again while cruising. Then at some point it detects that the batteries are charged, maybe some time is given to balance the cells while at a constant voltage, and then the generator shuts off. So the generator is a little smart on its own and the attached battery - inverter setup is completely unaware that this generator is there. One extra thing to add is the generator will need a clock and "time of day" operation function. So say you don't want the generator to run in the dead of night or say you are camping at a national park, you need to be able to program the generator to run in certain windows and charge up the batteries so you can coast along on batteries outside of these charge windows. I think both of these modes of operation for DC only are important. One mode is you already have a smart device, say in your home or RV and it has the smarts to tell your generator exactly what it wants it to do. In this mode there is not much in the way of programming your generator because the smart inverter has all of the smarts to get its specs and then tell it what to do exactly. The other mode of operation is either you have a small stationary setup or a portable setup, the equipment you hook the generator to is not going to be "aware" of any generator, but you can set some parameters on the generator, say through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi to an app on your phone or through a control interface on the generator, and the generator will get the job done. Of course you can have both in the same generator. It is just if you hook in an RS-485 cable, the generator reverts to being remotely controlled by a smart device and without the RS-485 link, the generator switches to using internal programming to make decisions on how it is going to run. While all of this may sound a bit wordy, in practice if a generator outfit can do this, I think it will be easy enough. One mode is you plug in an RS-485 cable and do the battery hookup and another smart device takes care of the rest. Maybe you even ask the solar inverter installer to configure in your generator for you and so you never even think about how it is done, it just works once they are done. In the other mode either you plug in some simple parameters on the generator for your batteries with the generator even having preset battery profiles, making it easy to get right and it runs in a 'simple' mode. Or you get out your smart phone, fire up an app, and do things like set generator run time windows and in general have full access to everything from the app. If you are doing this in your home, maybe you go over Wi-Fi, but out and about, you do this through Bluetooth. When you look at all of this, I think this could become very popular. There are all of these people who are either off grid or if they are on grid, they still want a generator backup while leveraging their solar and battery gear to allow the generator to be small and cost effective and will want DC for added efficiency and lower costs because they only need one DC-AC inverter. If you are off grid, you really don't want the generator running too much because they will wear out quickly and use tonnes of fuel, making things very pricey. This would be a way to slash run time even if you don't have solar panels. To charge the batteries, going DC-DC is a lot more efficient than DC to AC inverter to AC charger to DC charging, so direct DC-DC charging will use a lot less fuel. For off grid, this should allow for small generators, an efficient DC-DC conversation, control to make sure things are charged up and ready for a night with the generator off, and in general lower cost because you only have one DC-AC inverter. For a small emergency power backup system, instead of having a generator droning along all day long burning lots of fuel, you can pull out your portable battery-inverter setup, have it run off of batteries until the batteries get low, and then the DC generator kicks on and charges the batteries back up, shutting off again once the batteries are charged. Especially if you have no idea how long power will be out for, maybe you find the generator never needs to kick on because the outage was short enough, but if it goes on for days and days, you efficiently use your fuel as the generator only runs when it needs to. This will also be fewer oil changes and air filter cleanings needed in the middle of a prolonged outage because the generator is only running when it needs to with batteries taking care of the rest of the time. Plus if you do need to do maintenance in the middle of a prolonged outage, you just continue to run off of batteries while doing the maintenance on the generator. For camping, the generator can run on a schedule automatically in time windows the park you are in allows for and the rest of the time you are running off of batteries. You can be free to say do a day long hike and come back to batteries that charged up over the lunch generators allowed time window as the generator automatically kicked on while you were out hiking and charged up the batteries while conforming to park regulations. At this the generator stays throttled back enough while charging batteries to stay within park noise regulations. If the generator detects a high enough state of charge for your batteries, maybe it skips running during charge windows, granted this can be a little tricky as LFP batteries have a fairly flat charge curve across most of its charge band. Maybe the generator can be hooked to a DC amp (current) meter on the load side to make better determinations on the battery charge level. (The idea being the generator already has a built-in volt meter, so if you program in your battery capacity, it can measure what the battery load takes out of the battery and use that to help estimate remaining battery charge even as load causes battery voltage to dip under load.)

What are your thoughts on the Duromax XP15000HXT?

I can’t find the 17000 watt for sale anywhere online. ???

Do the Genmax come in 50Hz units?

I'd love someone to make a small diesel inverter generator. It would be so much more efficient than gasoline

You can't get 60 amps out of a 50 amp outlet Johnny. Plus most folks have a 50 amp inlet running 6 AWG. I understand the math part but your still back feeding 12000 watts non surge.

Cant find the 17000 anywhere.

Do you know the difference between GM10500iETC andGM11000iET?

I'd like to see a fuel injected 7,000 watt invert generator

Interesting, these generators look identical to the Harbor Freight machines.

Hello. Please clarify confirm. At 6:30 you say GENMAX is using engines that are NOT cast iron cylinder bore sleeved. That they are aluminum cylinder bores. Is this true?? Cast iron sleeved bores are a well developed technology that easily gives honed oil retention. Long life. Good adverse conditions wear life. Aluminum works only with superior thick wear plating. Still it seems only the very best of OEM's like Stihl, Husquvarna, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Shindowa can get this plating right. The Chinese replacement cylinder jugs for these engines are now known to be short life fails. I pull spark plugs and put a narrow magnet flex shaft pick up down to check for cylinder wall materials BEFORE I will commit to own and operate my generator and 4-stroke power equipments. So not an "all" Chinese engines as aluminum cylinder bores. Some. Many do have iron bore sleeves. All of my purchased, and used, made-in-China do have cast iron cylinder bores. Only in handheld 2-strokes will I use aluminum plated cylinders. And then only from 1st class known manufacturers. Steve Unruh

Is the fuel injection just for operation on gasoline? Yeah that must be it. 😊

I bought a genmax gm 9000ied about a year ago from amazon. The generator never worked poperly and their customer service stop responding. It's just dead weight and a BIG dissapointment!. I should of bought a Honda instead.

How are you supposed to repair these generators? Most small engine shops won’t mess with Chinese items such as this.

Stupid video i thought it was to be about big generator not the whole line
