This is the one I've been looking for, Trifuel AND Inverter. Plus it has a lot of other great features. I will use it to backup my big hardwired whole-house Generac, which everyone knows is not very reliable. But, you gotta have NG to be truly independent when power fails to gas stations and propane places are destroyed by hurricanes, etc.

[@sweetsuccesstrading5097]

The Plus I see to Propane vs natural gas, is that you can Store much of it on your Property, and it’s bought and paid for. If the natural gas stops flowing due to a Disaster, you’re screwed.

[@TheBry_Guy]

agreed. I absolutely LOVE my honda eu7000. statistically speaking there hasn't been a power outage in my area for longer than a day since 2003, but you never know. I have 3 days of gas on hand but that does require a person to keep on top of it to refresh the gas every 6 months or so. having a tri-fuel surely is the best of both worlds. Time will tell what this unit's reliability is with all these extra features, but so far it looks good!. (Yes I know i can get a nat gas snorkel for my honda, but im not doing that to MY honda, id rather have a pure nat gas or tri-fuel backup).

[@tristanschaper281]

I am so amazed how they can make product updates so quickly to an existing product like this. Especially a brand new product. This unit seems to be the new benchmark for all inverter gens. It literally has everything! If Genmax added a bluetooth power monitoring to an App, like Honda just did, that would really be neat. I wonder what other new products they are looking at. This unit literally checks every box. I wonder if Genmax would ever get into stationary outdoor "built-in" generators in the 15-25KW market, like Kohler, Briggs, etc, in an outdoor enclosure. That stationary home-standby market is really underserved with no current inverter gen on the market. They are all traditional generators that are loud and burn tons of fuel, spinning at 3600RPM no matter the load....

Gavin, what is the BTU requirement for the 10500iETC? How about the water column spec? Are either of these included in the manual? Appreciate your videos.

[@ciliap]

When would you use a bonded versus unbonded when you're simply connecting your generator to an interlock on your house? I have a ground rod attached the main box that I'm literally interlocked plugging into.

[@GeneratorReviews]

When you connected to the inlet box you want it to be floating because per code you only have one bonded point. when you connected to a transfer switch you want it to be bonded and the RV if you’re using a surge protector it has to be bonded.

Duromax now makes a 16kW Inverter Gen, but it is NOT tri-fuel. As far as I have been able to find, this is the largest tri-fuel inverter to date. Correct me if i'm wrong. Also, great and informative videos Gavin.

[@GeneratorReviews]

Yes, this one is the largest, thanks for watching.👍🏾

Does this unit have a separate fuel connector for the natural gas? There is a difference between natural gas and propane. The propane has a smaller orifise. I wonder how they are able to do it on the fly.

The Natural Gas hook up switch selection on the GM10500 is sweet. Like to add that I'm hoping they will be a Black Friday Sale on these two.

[@GeneratorReviews]

I currently have $100 off the Msrp on my website don’t regret having an extra 1500 W to work with😏

[@Steven-gv1ke]

Yeah I personally would save $1,200 (almost half the price) and go with the Champion trifuel open frame inverter 9k (model # 201176) generator that produces a hair better peak, and only slightly lower run watts. Its a better bang for buck.

[@RussSchampers]

As someone who's been agonizing over which generator to buy and closely examined both id mention for NG users this offers 6800 vs champion 5800. This offers ATS and is parallel capable. Champion isn't. What I think I just learned though is the parallel capability apparently won't work with ATS as a previous video of Gavin's mentioned you have to do parallel connection AFTER they're both started. You're absolutely right that if you don't need the extra 1k watts, ATS or Parallel capability, the champion is a better product fit for you. I still haven't decided what's right for me. Really wish ATS worked with parallel setup. Would make my decision dead simple.

The hose that comes with the generator is 25 feet long and it’s a half inch holes. I’ve seen holes double that length on Amazon so I don’t think it’s gonna be a problem adding extra hose to this. As far as max, I’m using 50 feet and it works just fine.

Good morning Gavin, I appreciate your generator videos! I purchased the Gen Max 9000 IED last year on your recommendation. I want to buy the 10,500 tri fuel and connect them both together via parallel cable. I went to purchase the parallel cable on Amazon and it says that you can only parallel like units. Can I parallel a 9000 and a 10,005 unit?

[@desertrat1606]

I love the features and specs of this generator. Except One: Max ambient temp = 104 F??? It's 118 here today. Does this mean that this generator is unusable here in the southwest desert? Is this a normal spec on other generators? I would really like to know.

[@Steven-gv1ke]

Fun fact, most automobile manufacturers only test their a/c system to 96 F. I used to work for GM. Anything above that temperature, if it doesn't work, they will tell you it's "too hot". Now clearly it works... But I can tell you, later on I worked in the oilfield in West Tx, and when it was 115 out, and the sun beating down on our trucks and we weren't moving and there was no shade, the a/c couldn't keep up. It was better than being outside, but I believe it was still around 80 to 82F in the truck. So basically what this means, is that the generator won't run at it's optimal rating at temperatures higher than that. Im not sure if that means loss of power (very likely, combustion engines produce more power with cold dense air), or a faster break down of oil viscosity, etc. However in those conditions from my knowledge of engines, I would expect a little loss of power, and I would change the oil in about 75% of the time it calls for in the instructions. Using synthetic oil will help after the initial break in.

[@desertrat1606]

@@Steven-gv1ke Thanks for the reply Steven. That makes sense. De-rate as ambient temperature rises above 104.

[@eosjoe565]

Since this comes with a battery charger does that mean the generator will not charge the battery itself while running? I believe Generac generators are that way, they can't charge the battery so they supply a separate little battery charger.

Charge during storage. It can charge itself while running.

Wish it was a bit cheaper, $2900 is a lot to pay for 10.5 Kw surge. Maybe $2500. I wonder if it will drop a little next year. These inverter generators are pretty complicated and many things to go wrong. I have a simple cheap troy built I've used for many years which is 8550 start and 5550 running. It's just so loud and power not very clean, although all my computers and electronics have run on it without issues. So I wouldn't mind getting inverter but just concerned of all the electronics to break. Love its floating neutral since need that to use with interlock kit to your panel and a plug to bond it if using extension cords. Also, seems like these inverter covered generators would not cool very well, maybe they should put a low powered fan in them, but guess would make them a bit lauder since sound could escape. But might make them last longer. Thanks for reviewing.
