Spent hours researching a 9000watt dual fuel inverter. I bought this one because: 1) 50amp home/RV outlet 2) it's quieter 3) an actual cleanable oil filter 4) easy to clean air filter 5) rear exhaust 6) superior cooling 7) commercial engine with pressurized oil pump and filter 8) it has everything I wanted in an inverter that Duramax, Predator and Northern Tools machine didn't have

Booklet he showed said splash type oil not pressurized. I read online that said splash also. I think the ones with screw on oil filters are probably the ones with pressurized oil systems.

How is the sine wave? Is it "dirty power" or a true power inverter?

For anyone researching, there are 3 variations of this genset. GM9000iE (gas only), GM9000iED (dual fuel), GM9000iEDC (dual fuel, CA CARB compliant).

FYI - I did the bonded to floating neutral conversion this morning following the video posted on the GENMAX website (Javier Rivera youtube video). Took about 2 hours. Would have taken less time if I had not stopped to shoot the breeze with a neighbor and did not have bear paws for hands. Thx for all you do for us.

@jdr285 Год назад

Mr. Gavin, As always, great video. You gave me things to consider I would otherwise would not have considered. (Handle and exhaust placement, 50amp plug, ease of paralleling, among others.) So, I received my GENMAX 9000iED last week and have completed the 5hr break-in and first oil change. I did mine on propane and used two 1800 watt air fryers so the cycling heaters would vary the load hitting almost exactly 50% of load when both would cycle on. There were almost no metal particles in the oil or the oil filter. Very pleased with that. Last thing to do is to change from bondedl to floating neutral using the Javier Rivera video posted on the GENMAX website as a guide. (It sure would be nice if GENMAX included a floating/bonded neutral switch.)

Thanks for the review of the GM9000iED. I bought it last year based in part on your review; and just completed my natural gas conversion of it. This is an extremely easy generator to convert to natural gas; no expensive conversion kit required. I was able to have the house circuits powered; then started a 4-ton AC; and finally started the 2nd 4-ton AC while the 1st was still running. I have 2 Hyper Engineering soft starts installed on the compressors. After 5-10 minutes of both AC's running; the generator overloaded and tripped out. The load meter was showing around 6500 watts. I never plan to actually try to use both AC's except for this test. I am happy. I posted a detailed procedure for the conversion at Power Equipment Forum under the Generator forum. A special demand regulator and large hoses are all that is needed for the conversion.

As always a really nice job. I enjoy all your hard work. Would you consider doing a video on this Genmax showing how to remove the bonding neutral. As you know if folks use this generator connecting it to their house panel they will need to make this generator a floating neutral otherwise they'll have 2 bonds (on the house side and generator side) and it will start tripping breakers on the generator. It should be behind the front panel bottom left the white jumper wire. Thank you.

@genemcloud4114 Год назад

I'm hooked! I keep watching your videos on inverter generators and have yet to decide on the one for me. I decided to start by doing a crude calculation on my load requirements. I think a 9000 unit will work. I'm not sure if dual fuel is essential. When we have major storms here in Florida (or anywhere) the gas lines are ridiculous and often supplies are exhausted -- so dual fuel may be a blessing in disguise. I had a transfer switch installed on my panel -- so I guess I only need to make a single connection and then start adding load. Thanks, again, for these excellent videos.

Been watching your channel daily for the last several months while researching the best portable generator for whole house backup, and I really enjoy watching your videos. I ordered me up one of these GenMax 9000ied’s and thought it would be pretty sweet if you could put it up against two Ecoflow Delta Pro’s with the EcoFlow double voltage hub. The peak and running watt spec’s are almost identical and can be matched with the right fuel type. The running watts of the Delta Pro’s could be pitted against the running watts of the GenMax 9000ied when running on propane and the GenMax peak running watts of 9000 when running on gasoline could be pitted against the Delta Pro’s surge watts of 9000!! It’d be like a battle of pump gas vs battery juice. Now that would be a duel.

@rlcarbo Год назад

It was your videos that got me to buy GENMAX GM9000iED. Got it last week. Love it. Now I would like to know how to get this generator to run on natural gas with no modifications to the generator. I have questions like: Could the natural gas be fed through the generator's LP inlet? Would a natural gas regulator be the only device needed in-line with that LP inlet? Would a natural gas regulator be needed at all? The other thing I would like to know is, if an Auto Changeover LP Propane Gas Regulator can be used with this generator; like those used on an RV. That way the generator can keep running on one tank, while the empty tank is changed out. I'm concerned that an Automatic Changeover Regulator would restrict flow. I say this because I found that my generator would not run with an in-line propane tank gauge; I assume due to flow restriction. Or the other unknown is if the Automatic Changeover Regulator, and the generator's own regulator, interfere with each others. These are questions you may want to take on in a video 🤔

Thanks for the demos! The oil filter on the gm9000ied and 14-50 receptacle were key selling points over the others for me. I got mine delivered a few days ago, and noticed that the CO detector keeps shutting down the engine when I have it in a Zombie Box enclosure with fan. The only way to keep it running is to remove the Box and/or keep a large fan blowing onto the Genmax. I've seen a few videos indicating how to disable the CO detector say for such instances, yet before I do any cutting and splicing of wires, would you have any instructions specific to the gm9000ied? I'd like to keep the Zombie Box as it also keeps the elements off the Genmax, but the sensitive the CO detector makes it a useless combination. Best regards!

@GeneratorReviews Год назад

If I was going to disable the CO monitor, I wouldn’t cut and splice the wires. Just use jumpers when you unplug the CO detector that way anything happens just connect it back.

@jonathanyee3406 Год назад

@@GeneratorReviews Thanks! Keeping it easily reversible will save a lot of trouble in the future. There are two sleeves of wires going to the CO detector. One sleeve has what looks to be four wires, the other has two. I'm guessing the one with two could be detached from the detector and jumped together, while the four can remain attached to the detector?

@allencar5212 11 месяцев назад

jonathan: The simple solution to the CO problem is attaching a Walker 40002 Universal Universal Exhaust Flex Pipe (Amazon) and running it away from the area (for me this is outside the garage). It adds some back pressure but it also adds some muffling. I also have a battery powered CO alarm in the garage for extra safety. I will provide additional info when I finish the natural gas load test after the generator is fully broken in. On gasoline the GM9000iED had no problem starting a 4-ton 2-stage Goodman A/C with a Hyper Engineering SS1B16-32SN soft start intalled; $249.

@dougharlow6037 Год назад

Great video. Does this generator have an oil filter? Thanks

@GeneratorReviews Год назад

Yes its more like a oil screen It’s not a traditional filter

@beilibuton 10 месяцев назад

Gavin what oils do you recommend for break in and after break in ? We appreciate what you do !!!

@GeneratorReviews 10 месяцев назад

I use 10w30 conventional oil brand doesn’t matter after break-in you can go to synthetic oil

@michaelgiovanniello3230 Год назад

I think it would be better to do a noise test while the machine is under load, no?

@dewey99uf2 Год назад

Do you leave the factory setup bonded neutral when you connect to your house? I've read conflicting information, but ultimately read that since the 50a isn't a GFCI that the bonded neutral is not an issue when connecting to the inlet box for whole home backup. What is your opinion?

@GeneratorReviews Год назад

I’ve never had an issue, testing it with the generator and bonded factory setup for short term use example power outages.

@dewey99uf2 Год назад

@@GeneratorReviews thanks for your input. I just powered my whole home with it for the first time and was shocked! It ran everything including my 3 ton AC (without a slow starter) and was only using 3.0kw, ironically the one thing that continued to trip at the breaker and refused to work was my microwave. I never would've guessed that would be the case. Overall very happy with it and hoping for years of reliable backup. 😁

Is the 50 amp plug only for running in parallel or will it put out 50 amps @ 120 volts?

Yes it will put out 50 A at 120 V

@Sanwizard1 Год назад

Why would they hide the oil dipstick behind a cover that needs tools to remove? Dont they want you to check the oil prior to running every time?

@djspyder551 Год назад

Hey Gavin, I just ordered the genmax 9000ied. Hurricane in sight down here !! As far as oil, what weight and is synthetic ok? Thx

@GeneratorReviews Год назад

Synthetic is OK after break-in, I usually recommend at least four oil changes one every 50 hours then once you switch to synthetic 5w30 you can go to every hundred hours which is like once a year for most people.

Hi. Champion 100891 vs GenMax 9000. Gavin for those who have a tight budget, can you compare these 2. Would like to see (Hear from you) the differences in DB’s in Eco mode on, then off. With a Propane Max load on both and compare the DB’s. Could you do that for us struggling with inflation please? Thank you so much. Mike i.

I purchased this unit from Amazon and they sent me the 9000iE , I purchased it in Oct 2021 and it sat in the box until now when a hurricane threatened us here in Florida I had to prep it because I had no time. So anyways paid 200 more for fuel only .. SUCKS! now I find that the remote will not bind with the Genset any advise?

@@GeneratorReviews thanks for getting back to me I took the batteries out and test them with a Volt Meter they are up to specs but I'll try new ones. Now I found out after running the Genset for 45 min that after I shut it down the hour meter goes back to 0 so every time I run it it starts at 0 hours ..I cant find the Serial # / vin plate anyplace I took off all the panels.

@JavierRivera 2 года назад

Hi 👋 maybe a stupid question but I got confused with the extra dedicated 50a outlet . So. The 30a outlet can produce 120v 30a and also 120v 30a per leg for a total 240v and 50amp? And you also have a 50a plug that only produce 240v 50amp? I m trying to figure out If I can use the 30a outlet to get 240v 50amp.

@GeneratorReviews 2 года назад

The 50 amp only come into play when you parallel the generator both gens have 30amps so you now have access to 50+

So every time you use it you need to remove the cover, with tools, to check the oil?... Seems a bit difficult ... :-)

It’s really not that hard but I guess the quick access doors make it easier but all the 9000w have screws to check the oil the Duromax, predator and Aipower has the lower half access door.

Hi Gavin,I just purchased and received this awesome generator.have a question(want to add that I'm a newbie to using generators during blackouts)about the ground stud on the front,I'll be using heavy gauge extension cords for certain appliances so with using cords is it best to pound in a ground rod then run wire to ground stud?

@GeneratorReviews 7 месяцев назад

Grounding. The generator is the best practice when necessary. If you choose using it for temporary power outage with extension cords, you don’t have to ground it. If you do have access to a ground, I would say do it.

2 questions. Do the wheels and the stands come off and what is the run time of a 20lbs tank of propane vs a full tank of fuel with the same load? I'm really interested in this generator for my gooseneck trailer being i have a 50 amp breaker with two 15k BTU AC units to run.

@GeneratorReviews 2 года назад

Yep the wheels and stand are removable and on a 20 lbs propane tank will run for 4.5 hrs.

@nokones788 2 года назад

@@GeneratorReviews Thanks for the reply. Does it run longer on fuel vs propane? I just ordered this generator, but it sounds like it goes through propane pretty fast.
