Description

The Genmax GM9000iE has a 458 cc Dinking OHV 4-stroke engine that puts out 120/240V, runs on gasoline, and puts out 7,600W while running and 9,000W at its peak. Also, because it can work in parallel (GM9000PK is not included), its power can be increased by connecting it to a second unit that works with it. The inverter generator has both a simple pull-start system and a simple, elegant electric starter (battery included). It has a noise level of 62 dBA (a little louder than background music). The GM9000iE can also be started from a distance, which makes it even more convenient (key fob included). The GM9000iE can run for up to 14.5 hours on a full tank of fuel, which is 6.9 gallons (fuel consumption is approximately 0.48 GPH). The GM9000iE makes a clean sine wave. With a Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of less than 3%, you can safely plug your sensitive electronics into the AC outlets.

Outlets

The control panel has 6 AC outlets, including two 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI duplexes, a 120/240V 30A (L14-30R) receptacle, and a 120/240V 50A (14-50R) receptacle. It also has 2 DC outlets: two 5V USB-A ports that make it easy to charge devices like cell phones and tablets. The GM9000iE has a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, which means it is ready for a transfer switch. It can power your home during a power outage because it is easy to connect to your breaker box.

Features

The data center on the GM9000iE’s control panel is one of its many features. It tells you the voltage, frequency, power output, and lifetime run hours, which makes it easy to keep track of its activity and status. In addition to this information, some lights let you know right away if the generator is overloaded, if its oil level is too low, or if it is ready. The inverter generator has a built-in fuel gauge that makes it quick, easy, and convenient to find out how much gas is in it. When it comes to safety, this product has an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), so you can use it without worry. It also has the CO DETECT technology from Genmax, which checks the amount of carbon monoxide in the air while the generator is running. If the generator isn’t set up right and carbon monoxide levels get too high, the generator will turn off by itself. It’s a nice extra safety measure, but don’t forget to take your generator outside at all times. Besides the classic documentation and an owner’s manual to get you promptly started, the Genmax GM9000iE also comes with some accessories: funnel, key fob and tool kit are included.

Mobility

The Genmax GM9000iE is an inverter generator. It has a case that is L30.9 in, x W22.6 in, x H29.3 in, So, it looks better than most other products with open frames. The goal of this modern design is to give recreational users the best way to get power. Even though this generator is technically “portable” in the sense that it can be moved, it weighs 233.7 pounds, which makes it very hard to move by hand. It’s hard to move around, but its two wheels (dia:7 in) make it possible “Once it’s on the floor, it will be easier to move because of the handle that folds down.

Description

The Genmax GM6000XiE is made with a 312 cc Dinking OHV 4-stroke engine that runs on gasoline. It has an output voltage of 120/240V and a running wattage of 5,250W and a peak wattage of 6,000W. The noise level of this inverter generator is 70 dBA, which is about the same as a shower. It can be started with a simple pull-start mechanism or an easy-to-use electric starter (battery included). The GM6000XiE can run for up to 13 hours on a full tank of 3.8 gallons of fuel (fuel consumption is approximately 0.29 GPH). The GM6000XiE makes a clean sine wave. With a Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of less than 3%, you can safely plug your sensitive electronics into the AC outlets.

Outlets

The control panel has 3 AC outlets: a duplex 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI outlet and a 120/240V 30A (L14-30R) outlet. Also, it has 2 DC outlets: there are two 5V USB ports (USB-A) that make it easy to charge devices like cell phones or tablets. The GM6000XiE is ready for a transfer switch because it has a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle. If the power goes out, you can easily connect it to a breaker box and keep your home running.

Features

A digital data center, which is part of the GM6000XiE’s control panel, lets you check on its status and activity. It also tells you how many hours it has run in its lifetime. In addition to this, the generator has a number of lights that tell you when it is ready, when it needs more oil, and when it is overloaded. The inverter generator has a built-in fuel gauge that makes it quick, easy, and convenient to check how much gas it has. For safety, the generator has an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, so you can use it without worrying. It also has the CO DETECT technology from Genmax, which checks the amount of carbon monoxide in the air while the generator is running. If the generator isn’t set up right and carbon monoxide levels get too high, the generator will turn off by itself. It’s a nice extra safety measure, but don’t forget to take your generator outside at all times. The Genmax GM6000XiE comes with a tool kit and a funnel, as well as the usual documentation and an owner’s manual to get you up and running quickly.

Mobility

The Genmax GM6000XiE is made with a typical open frame that measures L22.2 x W18.1 x H17.7 in, This frame gives it support and stability and lets you raise it above ground level. The design works well in rough places and for hard outdoor use. Even though the generator is technically considered to “be portable,” it will be very hard to move it by hand because it weighs 106.9 pounds (in the sense that it is movable). Still, because it has a set of wheels (dia:8), “Once the generator is on the ground, it is easy to move thanks to its wheels and folding handle, which make up for its lack of maneuverability.

The Genmax GM5500i package comes with basic paperwork and an owner’s manual that will help you start the generator right away. It also comes with a funnel and a tool kit.

Mobility

The Genmax GM5500i looks better than a typical open frame generator because it has a closed inverter generator (L21.1 x W18.5 x H24 in). The goal of this modern design is to give recreational users the best way to get power. Even though this device is technically portable (meaning it can be moved), it is hard to move and use without special tools because it weighs 116.6 pounds. But its two wheels (diameter: 5.5 in) make up for the fact that it is hard to turn “Once it’s on the ground, you can move it easily with its telescoping handle.
