GENMAX GM9000iED Dual Fuel, Quiet, Remote / Electric Start, Ideal for Home backup (GM9000iED) Review

[@mr.cryptobull1520]

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

[@GeneratorReviews]

Well said! Thank for watching

[@mr.cryptobull1520]

Hey Gavin, I just got my MaxGen GM9000 IED, you mentioned it had a cleanable oil filter screen, I don't see it anywhere, can you help me find it??

[@GeneratorReviews]

@@mr.cryptobull1520 it looks like a little white plug on the right side of the oil fill plug.

[@mademad2]

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.

[@hellogoodbye3129]

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

[@allencar5212]

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.

[@johndeerrm]

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

[@jdr285]

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.

Thanks Elizabeth 💯💯👍🏾

[@jdr285]

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.)

[@juanpereznet]

I like what you did at the end of the video with the still images!!!! Thanks!

[@MikeKubiak13]

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.

Guess what! I actually have two EcoFlow and the hub

[@genemcloud4114]

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.

Thanks for watching my video I appreciate your support.

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.

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!

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).

@@GeneratorReviews have you been using this unit? My real concerns are the quality of the components. It’s pretty normal components for electricity but other things like aluminum castings: do you think it would be lasting as say the cummins 4500

@@chrisallen3741 yessir Most engines today have to the same casting

Hey Gavin. I am seriously looking to purchase this generator. Has anybody done any research on how long this generator will last on 20 pounds of propane? I see that the 6.9 gallon tank will last 10 hours on half load. Sure would love to see some testing done with propane runtime. Love the videos thank you

[@GeneratorReviews]

GM10500iETC, equipped with a 6.9 gallons fuel tank, is capable of running continuously for around 8.1 hours at 50% load on a full gasoline tank (with fuel consumption estimated at around 0.85 gallons per hour). When utilizing propane, it provides around 4 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 1.18 GPH) of operation.

Gavin, I'm considering buying the 9000IED, but wondered if you knew the specs of the oil dipstick and oil plug so I can source a magnetic of each. Thx

[@GeneratorReviews]

You don’t need a magnet it’s an aluminum block and it has an oil filter to catch all the small particles

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]

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.

[@rustyreel2228]

Thank You Gavin for the info.@@GeneratorReviews

[@maximaposov9709]

Is it possible to run it on Natural gas (probably with some conversion) ?

[@GeneratorReviews]

Yes you need a natural gas kit

[@Sanwizard1]

I bought this generator for my three ton american standard HVAC, which also has a Micro Air easy start attached. This gen under propane WILL NOT START my HVAC. The hvac pulls 36 amps, but the generator cannot provide that pulse in time, so the HVAC stops.

[@GeneratorReviews]

it starts my 5ton unit plus fridge and ceiling fans.

[@emmanuelmata]

so this has a 240/50 amp plug and the duramax only has a 240/30 amp correct? have you evertested the duramax to see if it provides 50 amps? thanks

[@GeneratorReviews]

The Duromax won’t produce 50 amp at 240 V the circuit will trip at 30 amp. The 50 amp plug really is for when you parallel the generator so you can get 50 amp on each leg without using a parallel kit.

[@emmanuelmata]

@@GeneratorReviews that's sucks. I just bought the duromax I guess I will have to sell it.

[@JavierRivera]

@@GeneratorReviews Duromax provides 50amp at 120v? L1 and L2 I am very confused.

[@emmanuelmata]

@@GeneratorReviews oooo you ment the 50 amp plug on the genmax is basically when you parallel 2 genmax's to get the full 50amps but by itself just one genmax is not able to produce 50amps its just there so you dont need an adapter?

[@nitro200flyer3]

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]

Have you tried replacing the remote battery?

[@nitro200flyer3]

@@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. Gavin, I know your not the support for genmax but your the only one I have had any response from Thaks again I'm starting to worry that this generator is a POS and so is the company .

[@kerryrodrigue9697]

What would u recommend? Genmax 9000 , Duromax 9000 or duromax 13000 trifuel

[@GeneratorReviews]

The Genmax 9000 is pure sine wave it has a 50amp plug, parallels with no parallel kit forced air cooled and forced lubricated with oil filter. The other ones don’t have that.

[@mdavis6715]

Thanks for all your awesome videos! Thinking about picking one of these up, but I live in California, so it will have to be the GM9000iEDC. Is there any significant difference between this and the CA carb compliant version? Also, should I just wait and get the 10500T version? I guess they would have to come out with a Cali carb compliant version of that also? I don't know if I really need the extra 1.5k, but depending on price vs time to wait, might be worth it, might not. Thanks in advance!

[@GeneratorReviews]

If you don’t need the extra power, I would just get the 9000 since you live in California you need the carb compliant. You’re probably looking at an extra $500 for the new version

[@mdavis6715]

@@GeneratorReviews Thank you for confirming that. Is there any significant difference between the non carb compliant and carb compliant versions that I need to watch out for? Performance issues, or more prone to have some other problem?

[@dj5752]

Enjoy all your video's. Question: because it has an oil filter in this unit is it an oil pressure system like a car or is it still the splash technology oil delivery. Pressure delivery would put this unit way above it's competition.

[@GeneratorReviews]

Yes its a forced lubricated engine vs splash lube

[@dj5752]

That's a game changer

[@BruceAFairchild]

Does it have 50Hz/60Hz switch ?

[@GeneratorReviews]

Only 60 Hz pure sine wave

[@kbar6304]

Would you recommend this generator over the other 9000/9500 inverter generators, for the money?

[@GeneratorReviews]

This one definitely have all the bells and whistles for the money
