Genmax Gm17000iE compared to Genmax Gm10500ietc size comparison

[@elizabethwhite4606]

Gavin, thank you for the size comparison of these two GENMAX generators. I thought the 10,500 was large however next to the 17,000 it looks much smaller. Very nice to have a choice of either one to best align with the loads that I am going to run during a power outage.

[@lawjilei]

Genmax really needs to put 4 wheels on their generators instead of two, particularly for 10500 and up.

[@GeneratorReviews]

I will mention that for future updates.

[@DM-fp8uw]

@@GeneratorReviewspowered wheels😀

[@amelsfr]

agreed. those are too heavy for only 2 wheels

[@lawjilei]

@@GeneratorReviews Gavin - can you also tell them they need to release a wheel kit for their 10500i so we can retrofit 4 wheels? Predator already has 4 wheels and even then people don’t think it’s enough so there’s an aftermarket kit with bigger wheels to roll over grass and gravel, etc.

[@Critical-Thinker895]

Yes, Genmax has trouble with common sense.

[@budp.4209]

Once again GREAT video Gavin!! 330lbs man, seems pretty heavy to maneuver around but @17000w what a monster euver nover around

[@projectswithjw]

GM17000 finally showing up on genmax webpage 👍👍

[@tomturner4988]

I’m sure there is a calculation but any idea what the running watts will be on nat gas?

[@jasonthach86]

10,000

[@GeneratorReviews]

On NG it will be 12500 watts running

[@tomturner4988]

Thanks you rock

[@jasonthach86]

@@GeneratorReviews that's peak watts . So it would be 10000 running ?

[@awbean5254]

HEY GAVIN, DOES THE 17000 HAVE A TWO WIRE START? HOW DOES IT PERFORM?

[@GeneratorReviews]

Yes, it does have the two wire start and that’s gonna be awesome, for inverters and remotes starting even though you have the remote control option it’s really nice to have the inverter control with AGS.

[@ka5get]

Gavin, thank you for the comparison on these units. What is the Natural Gas PSI requirements for the 10500?

[@williamjones3603]

Are we able to buy replacement parts for this brand like Honda??

[@GeneratorReviews]

Yes

[@williamjones3603]

@@GeneratorReviews Great, please drop a link. Thanks

[@FORD4LIFE73]

I have a question about the 10500watt model. Genmax has a 11000watt only available at sam's and it's only 2500 bucks. Is there any difference in quality. Is the one at sam's cheaper because it uses cheaper parts?

[@GeneratorReviews]

That model is for Sam’s Club

[@mike_adams]

Been watching your series on these standby gens and I have a couple questions. What’s the longest you’ve ran your home off a standby Gen.? And second is related to natural gas consumption, what’s the delta between your normal home gas bill vs the monthly bill running off the trifuel Gen? I had a co worker with a 24k Generac running whole home during Hurricane ida for 3 weeks straight. The delta for his use case was $600 in NG fuel costs which equates to about $30 a day

[@GeneratorReviews]

The main difference between the portable whole home and a standby is that the portable inverter actually runs at a lower RPM (eco mode) saving on fuel cost, standby runs wide open throttle 24-7

[@ejcsds]

Great video, wish you would have started them so we could hear the difference!

[@GeneratorReviews]

Next time!

[@timoxford5124]

what are the watt numbers for the tri-fuel going to be....and ballpark on price? thanks

[@GeneratorReviews]

I will be updating specs on the tri fuel when I receive the sample generator

[@shaynemull7711]

Hello Gavin appreciate all the review videos and information. I just have a quick question for you. When you hook up these generators to your whole home backup do you remove the bonded neutral and make it floating prior to hooking up the generator or do you use the generator as is out of the box? I have a bonded neutral 11,000 watt Westinghouse inverter and I’m trying to decide what to do. Thanks

[@ryanhoang82]

Hello Galvin. I just learned something new today, floating and bonded neutral. Are all of portable and inverter gens are bonded neutal, if so do I need to change them to floating as I seen a few videos on youtube. Thank you.

[@GeneratorReviews]

Not all of them are bonded Some actually come floating neutral

[@ChrisRyanShaw]

@GeneratorReviews Would you recommend two 10500s in parallel, or one 17000 for a whole house backup setup? I plan to use NG, so will need to wait until the 17000 comes out in tri-fuel.

[@GeneratorReviews]

I would recommend the 17K. One generator to maintain even though most people will claim redundancy, I think you’ll be better off with one. I should have the tri fuel available in three months

[@scubasteve1360]

Hi Gavin, any word on when the 17,000 will be available for purchase.

[@GeneratorReviews]

I want to start preordering on Monday

[@scubasteve1360]

⁠Sounds good. I’m ready. What’s that “early bird special” price gonna be..

[@greggfur9626]

Thanks for all your generator reviews Gavin. Why don't companies make Propane-ONLY portable inverter generators, with running watts higher than 5000 watts, for people that will never use gasoline? This would greatly reduce the generator weight and size by eliminating the large gasoline tank and at the same time optimize the efficiency.

[@GeneratorReviews]

Agreed 👍🏾

[@greggfur9626]

Thanks for reply Gavin but do you have any idea why higher watt Propane-ONLY portable generators are not being made? ALP makes the 850 running watt model but that is not enough power for many users.

[@GalloPazzesco]

Wonder when we should expect these to become available and at what cost? Also, will you do a follow-up please ... after a few hundred hours? Let us know if any kinks need to be worked out? Thank you GG (Generator Gavin) for these videos. As always, subscribed, bell rang, commented, liked, upvoted, shared .... may the algorithm gods continue to smile favorably upon your channel. PS: Any chance that one day you might do a video dedicated to EMP/Solar Flare proofing these Gens on Wheels? Grounding, enclosures, etc? Also, might two of these 10500s or 17000s be paralleled? Is there a kit available? Thanks again friend.

[@GeneratorReviews]

Thanks for sharing

[@nathanmorrow9951]

Do you know when the 17,000 will be for sale?

It’s on pre-order delivery should be mid next month

[@rogereazar]

​@@GeneratorReviewsHave you heard a date for tri fuel?

[@obotish1981]

Hi do you have a store in the Houston area?

[@GeneratorReviews]

Yes I think we spoke over the phone 👍🏾

[@kchaney56]

Wow, a lot more weight and size and the loss of tri fuel for not that much more output. The major pain of trying to store gasoline for and emergency for this is a real negative.

[@GeneratorReviews]

Almost doubled the power tri fuel coming in a few months

[@fardadnadjmi2775]

Gavin, is there a inverter generator that on natural gas running regular load that produces 8500 watts

[@GeneratorReviews]

The gm17000

[@mikeworks2837]

What is the price for the unit? I would definitely consider this if it ran on natural gas.

[@GeneratorReviews]

$4799 Msrp

[@ChrisJames-i1r]

Wow, the weight! Are you able to lift either of these by yourself? If not, do you have a recommendation of how to get these into and out of a truck bed?

[@GeneratorReviews]

With the right equipment you can do it yourself but with help is recommended

[@davidsilos7241]

I know this is a dumb question but can the 17000 watt parallel with the 10500 watt? Asking for a friend

[@GeneratorReviews]

No the 17000 will not have parallel capabilities

[@alejandrocarrillo373]

How’s the micro air flex holding up?

[@GeneratorReviews]

It’s doing great 👍🏾

[@viking7305.]

WOW on the big boy Genmax! I'm wondering when Generac or Kohler will get off of their asses and kickout a inverter in the 17,000 or bigger size? We have the Generac GP 17,500 and simply love it for running our whole house. But if and when it comes time to replace it, we would love that option of a inverter in that same size or bigger from them or Kohler for comparison. I really am starting to like the DuroMax line of generators as well. Thank you for this video Gavin.

[@Montana_Outdoor_Adventures]

That 17k is a brute!!!

Good morning!

Good morning buddy😊

Seeing the 10500 next to it makes it look like a baby

[@djnemesis82pluss1877]

Not sure why anyone would buy this with a 1 year warranty over the duromax with 5 year warranty.

[@GeneratorReviews]

They should match the warranty
