Description
The Genmax GM2000i is made with a 79.7 cc Dinking OHV 4-stroke engine that runs on gasoline. With a 120V output, it has a running wattage of 1,600W and a peak wattage of 2,000W. Also, since it can work in parallel (but doesn’t come with a parallel kit), this power can be doubled by connecting it to another unit that works with it. The noise level of the inverter generator is set at 58 dBA (lower decibel levels than rain). It has a pull-start mechanism, which is a common way to start a motor. With a full tank, the GM2000i can run for up to 10 hours on its 1.1-gallon fuel tank (fuel consumption is approximately 0.11 GPH). The GM2000i makes a clean sine wave with a Total Harmonic Distortion of less than 3%, so it’s safe to plug sensitive electronics into AC outlets (THD).
Outlets
The control panel has the following two AC outlets: Duplex 120V 20A (5-20R). It also has 2 DC outlets: two 5V USB ports (USB-A) that make it easy to charge devices like phones or tablets.
Features
There are several lights that let you know when the generator is ready, when it’s too full, or when the oil level is too low. 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. The Genmax GM2000i comes with the usual paperwork and an owner’s manual , which lets you start using it right away. It also comes with a funnel and a tool kit.
Mobility
Because the Genmax GM2000i is an inverter generator, its closed design (L18.7 x W10.6 x H15.9 in) looks better than traditional devices with open frames. This kind of design is the most modern and easy way to make power for fun. The GM2000i can be thought of as a lightweight and portable generator because it only weighs 34.2 lbs. A single person should be able to move it around easily and get power wherever they go. It can also be carried easily thanks to a handle that is built into the case. This makes it even more convenient.

- We compared more than 500 portable generators at 50% load. We found that there is “skewed right” distribution for the difference between 50% load and 25% load and the median comes at 1.43. With this number we converter all the 25% load runtime to 50% load. Same with the propane efficiency, where median is 1.38.
- For some generators where propane runtime was not given, we used NIST 1994 GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent) formula: 5.66 lbs. of propane = 1 gal of gasoline. All propane runtime is for 20 lbs. propane tank (4.7 gallons).
- Unlike many other sites, we actually tried to find out information about each of the above requirements. However, we are human and are therefore capable of the odd oversight or mistake. Please let us know if you spot any missing or erroneous values so that we can fix them.
About the Manufacturer
The Chongqing Dinking Power Machinery Co. LTD., which was established in 2010 and is currently based in Chongqing, China, has just registered the new portable generator trademark GENMAX. Dinking focuses in the general motor sector and produces construction equipment, water pumps, water generators, and portable generators for export. The exclusive agreement Dinking has with Hyundai and its standing as the fifth-ranked Chinese exporter of general motors are among its most remarkable accomplishments (2016). A sizable assortment of gas-powered generators in all popular wattage categories may be found in the GENMAX brand portfolio.
