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?

[@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.

[@goofsaddggkle7351]

Ordered one before your video was over. This looks like the best all around backup home generator. Thanks for the review.

[@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.

[@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.)

[@elizabethwhite4606]

Yessir I’m happy they took the extra steps to upgrade all the downfalls of this model the air filter airflow across the engine and exhaust going to the back of the generator. Thanks buddy👍🏾

[@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.

[@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.

[@GeneratorReviews]

Guess what! I actually have two EcoFlow and the hub

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.

Hi Gavin, this is the gen for me. Been waiting on your review of this and it was worth the wait. Another excellent review job. It's funny how Genmax pretty much copied the Duromax 9000 and simply made it better and cheaper.

[@GeneratorReviews]

I’m gonna tell you a little secret they manufactured the Duromax and predator now they’re manufacturing their own factory direct. The reason it’s cheaper is because they don’t have a middleman its factory direct

Good video as usual.

[@rlcarbo]

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 🤔

[@dlpeters0n]

According to the Amazon reviews, if it does break you're out of luck - virtually no support from mfg. 16% of reviews are one star.

[@mariojalata5259]

Hi Gavin great review. I plan to used it for my 50 amp rv. Do I need to use a bonding plug or I just plug into the 50amp outlet? Thank you.

This one is looking good, two questions, does it look like you can remove the handles as well as their hinge, and do the top bars feel strong enough to pick up the generator by?

[@GeneratorReviews]

Yes they can be removed and the top bar is welded to the frame so it will be able to pick it up. Thanks

Also, where could I find the parallel kit for this one? Looking to someday up the amount of power at my disposal for the events that I do. Thanks!

[@GeneratorReviews]

I just feel like the bigger Generators are quieter than the small ones. Maybe it has to do with the pitch of the sound or the exhaust. This one runs at 3400 RPMs so it just makes it quieter

[@Tom-In-Ga]

Nice generator. If I was to have one complaint, it would be the steel fuel tank. Wouldn't take much to get it to start rusting from the inside out. That said, if you don't know what to do with it, I'll be happy to take it off your hands. 🤣

Great review, 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I liked that you took the time to explain everything. How many hours does it run with a full tank???

[@GeneratorReviews]

GM9000iED, along with its 6.9 gallons fuel capacity, can run for up to 15 hours with a full tank filled with gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.48 GPH). If propane is used, it can operate for up to 14 hours (estimation based on a 40 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.67 GPH).

Chongqing Dinking Power Machinery Co., LTD. Can this also be used with natural gas? This seems like such a better unit than the Predator 9000. Better access to the air filter (still could be better, like a slide out the side filter), dual fuel (still could be better if tri-fuel), exhaust out the back, remote start (not sure that I would ever need that), 50A receptacle, LED meters, Genmax makes a parallel kit for these units, force fan for cooling, reusable / cleanable oil filter.

[@jonathanyee3406]

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]

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]

@@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]

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.

[@GeneratorReviews]

I did on this generator because I was just doing a review

[@cademanuel8089]

Hi, the fuel consumption is listed more on this one than the predator or the Duramax, do you think this is actually the way it is with them being very similar machines?

[@GeneratorReviews]

They are similar and this one has better air flow across the inverter and engine so it will run harder in the hot seasons. I will test them for consumption

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]

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

[@dewey99uf2]

@@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. 😁

[@GeneratorReviews]

@@dewey99uf2 Try plugging your microwave into a different outlet and see if that works

Can I run this on natural gas, using a converter for the propane fittings?

[@GeneratorReviews]

I seen a kit for natural gas but I personally haven’t tested it yet

[@nokones788]

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]

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

[@nokones788]

@@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.

[@dougharlow6037]

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

[@GeneratorReviews]

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

[@opengun9]

Outstanding video I want. Where did you buy it and cost

[@GeneratorReviews]

www.gavins-garage.com/product/genmax-gm9000ied-inverter-generator/ You can buy at this link on my website. Thanks so much for watching.

[@NonExpertKnowItAll]

My big thing is which one is easiest to actually get parts and kits for if you want.

[@GeneratorReviews]

It’s still a new generator but like everything else in time parts and service will be widely available

[@NonExpertKnowItAll]

@@GeneratorReviews I think the recent supply shortage has shown the aren't always. Especially electrical components that often come from over seas. I would feel more comfortable with models that's complex components are built without have to come on a boat.

[@ThePcicarpentry]

I got a question maybe you might know. I saw online where this generator doesn’t produce a full 50 A from the 50 amp receptacle. is this true , have you tested it to see if it does ?

[@GeneratorReviews]

The 50 amp plug is for paralleling two generators and the 50 amp plug makes it easier. No need for a parallel kit

[@ralphcormier3864]

How would it compare against the Firman of similar size HUD 11:00 or so dollars left any recommendations

[@GeneratorReviews]

I don’t think they have an inverter generator to compare with this one.

[@winnw2615]

I just got the genmax 9000, on the first use can i use propane?

[@GeneratorReviews]

Yes you can

[@sweetsuccesstrading5097]

You mentioned the30 Amp plug for the House. Can’t you setup a the 50 amp plug to setup with your Main power on the house?

[@GeneratorReviews]

Yes you can install a 50amp inlet box kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHa7fpdnlN-DfKM

[@paul9387]

Hello, can dual fuel GenMax be converted to NG? From the comments I've learned that there are three models of these, one was gas powered, do all three can be converted? If I convert a dual fuel, do I still get to use one of the other fuel sources that are left? Thank you

[@GeneratorReviews]

Yes you can convert it to use NG and use the other two sources

[@no1but24]

I just ordered this generator because of the inverter. I have a question if I decide to run this with propane on a 100 pound tank how much runtime would I get at 50% load? Also, I thought this generator came with a battery tender already. Already have my house set to back feed but I only have a 30 amp set up. Going to switch it to 50 amp this summer.

[@GeneratorReviews]

The 10,500 comes with a battery tender 100 pound tank at 50%. You’ll probably run about five days

[@no1but24]

@@GeneratorReviews thanks for the info, I’m going to buy 2 40 pounds tanks for easier transport to fill
