I recently purchased this unit & so far very pleased with the purchase. The fit & finish are actually better than you would expect coming from China. I wasn't sure what to expect when I removed the panels but it appears it will hold up. I connected to propane, purged it a few times with the recoil & it fired up alomost instantly. No issues with the app, it connects & works. I can't speak for warranty, possibly because there hasn't been an issue. Its much lighter, easier to handle & it seems quieter than the 100lb firman I no longer own which was a beast to load/unload. A LPG quick connect & a couple of quarter turn screws on the servicing side panel would have been a nice touch.

[@johnnysweekends]

So far it’s a nice unit. I have almost 10 hours now. I use this or the pulsar unit. I really like app features which I wish the pulsar had

[@mannys4036]

This is my new favorite channel. It popped up in my feed and I have already watched three videos and learned so much. Johnny, you are amazing. I didn't even know about the syphon for oil or the way to extend run time. In this day and age solar is fantastic and I have it but still keeping a dual fuel generator as a back up makes sense. For wanna be nomatic people like myself, this information is invaluable. Thank you so much.

Looks more compact than the Champion 4500 you use with your RV, which is a good thing for folks with limited storage space. I have a truck camper with cargo trailer.

[@jacklisk5475]

Ask the company where their service centers are and how to get warrenty? Non returanable through Amazon.

[@johnnysweekends]

I asked this and currently they are looking to add sevice locations, but as of right now you would just take to small engine mechanics if items need to be fixed or replaced and then communicate through the email and contact number for warranty items or replacement. Which is like most brands. A few brands have a couple location but many dont unfortunately. So it’s the small engine shops you would go to for anything big if you cant DIY…which these are not terrible to work on.

[@racoonbreath]

service center in your garage

[@yantruocmot]

This was a great video, thank you! Do you know if you could replace that propane hose with a quick disconnect one and run it directly off your trailer with out that regulator? It seems like that regulator on the stock hose is just a standard one, wondering if you tried it?

[@johnnysweekends]

YESS!!!! I have the same setup I use for the pulsar or even the predator 5000. I run directly off my on boards. And since the load regulator is inside this unit it allows for a seamless hookup with the correct propane hose.

[@deltabravo1257]

For someone that wants to primarily run a rooftop RV A/C unit, which would you pick, this one or the Champion 4500 dual fuel you recently did your 100 hour service video on?

[@johnnysweekends]

If only a single 15k ac unit this for sure!! 13.5k would be a breeze for this. Much smaller, lighter and smaller engine is better on fuel. I have no doubt the champion will out live this. If running dual ac units champion 4500 or the like for sure

[@blairM363]

Nice video. Looks like a nice generator too. Is this about the same footprint (size) of the Honda EU3200i, would it fit in storage boxes that the Honda would?

[@johnnysweekends]

It’s more close in size to the eu2200i than the eu3200 which is decently bigger.

[@blairM363]

@@johnnysweekends so smaller than similar rated size generator, dual fuel, start from app, and dual fuel. And like way cheaper too. Is there any reason to buy the brand name?

[@johnnysweekends]

@blairM363 it’s all about what you want. Some people can’t get away from Honda but I can’t see paying $2799 for the EFI unit . One if it got stolen I would freak. I go places where if a $600 gen was stolen I wouldn’t feel as bad Also people are getting a lot of hours from these other brands now. Only problem is sometimes service or warranty. I like Honda but where is the dual fuel … where is a compact unit that puts out a little more power ?? They need the eu2200i to be a little bigger so it can run a 15k unit but the fuel cell is also to big. Unfortunately at 75% load and above is working the gen to hard and blowing through fuel.

Great review as always and thanks, I've been waiting for this review. Since you have both generators, what can you say about the loudness comparison between this and the Pulsar 4000?

[@johnnysweekends]

Same engine, same muffler, sounds the same to me from all the others. Not sure why the genmax is slightly louder. I think it’s the engine case.

[@danpatnode6783]

I would like several people to be able to start this in the morning with their own phones (whoever wakes first). Can the GT be paired with several phone/apps at the same time?

Can you test or confirm if you leave on it will power down so it wont drain your battery. Example my dads Predator 5000 will after 12 hours. My Westinghouse 4600df would not so if you left on during the day and not run at night it would be dead in the morning. With the predator 5K just turn off then on and resets the 12hour window to remote start in the morning. Also what size battery is in the unit. Thanks

[@StateNewsService]

Hi, I have a basic question. Do you know if a 2000-2500 watt dual fuel generator with remote start? Thanks Dean

[@johnnysweekends]

The ryobi is one but I think gas only. Then the Ecoflow smart generator is really the only other but it’s more for the Ecoflow system but still works as a regular generator

[@joecmarques]

Can you also use this with natural gas instead of propane?

[@danpatnode6783]

From another video, you can only convert to tri fuel (natural gas) if both regulators are external (so they can be replaced). The included external regulator doesn’t look big enough to be double external so probably has the other built in. Which will be propane specific, so not calibrated for or (easily) replaceable to support natural gas.

[@DeepDoseMusic]

I'm on the fence about selling my 2200i to buy the 4000GT. On paper it ticks literally every box for me, but there's so little feedback on the internet and what I have found has been mixed, it's still very new. If Johnny or anyone else has some feedback on the loads it's handled and any issues so far it's much appreciated. I know it's not a Honda but if it's generally good I'm gonna pull the trigger

[@johnnysweekends]

This unit is a fancy version of the GenMax 3500, pulsar 4000df that I’m using and a couple others. The same 145cc engine is now being used in several models. So far it’s been proven and doing well. I still have my Honda eu2200 but now I never use it because it can’t handle a 15k ac unit or when I need more power for a little bit I was maxed. This is basically the same like which is why I like it and the weight. It’s a little heavier than the Honda 2200 but I wanna run propane and Honda won’t listen. If you don’t abuse these they do fine. Many good reviews have been coming back. I only have 5 hrs on mine so far because I have a lot of solar. In the winter I doubt I ever use it. But I’m using this and the pulsar back and forth. It’s hard to add hours on two units especially when you have a lot of solar now

[@DeepDoseMusic]

@@johnnysweekends Hey I appreciate the reply, it really is great what they have fit into a compact unit. Also I'm totally sold on propane, it won't see a drop of gas if I can help it. And I agree, Honda in general has to get with the times. Yes they make high quality products with good engineering but some of these new generators really Make the Honda's seem dated and lacking features we've all been asking for for years. I'm waiting to upgrade our 5th wheel and then I will go all out with the solar too. I've enjoyed watching you develop your system. I think the Honda is going on marketplace tonight.

[@Volfan812]

I see in this video you're running the generator off of a 30 lb propane tank. Have you done a runtime test to see how long it will run on a 30 lb tank? I have the Pulsar dual duel generator and plan to run it off one of my 30 lb tanks. I'm curious how long it will run on a single tank at approximately half load. I plan to run a 15K BTU AC, converter and maybe a TV or 2. I am installing a soft start on the AC this weekend.

[@johnnysweekends]

It’s hard to find those run times as I never run a gen more than about 4 hours a day at best. But from info gathered a 20lb tank at 50% load can last about 12 hrs roughly give or take. And much longer around the 30-40% load as it is much more efficient around those ranges. With everything you want to run that could be an easy 2000 -2200 watt load. So that’s over 50% load. So shorter run times. That’s if the RV ac stays on all the time and not clicking on and off.

[@Volfan812]

@@johnnysweekends Thanks man. Love your videos. The campground I frequent is prone to occasional power outages. Last year they had 4 outage just while I was there, no telling how many times it went out that I wasn't there. Some last a few hours while once it was out for several days. That was a rarity as the campground has an antiquated power distribution system. The several day outage was no fault of the power company. The campground itself blew a fuse. This rare fuse was so hard to find that it had to come from Georgia up to Virginia and a crew had to install it. Once it arrived it still took a good part of a day to have it installed. This outage only affected a large section of the campground, not the entire campground. We were there a week and fortunately we only had to deal with no power for a day as once someone checked out of the section with power we moved to that spot. This was still quite an inconvenience as this was 4th of July week and hot as hell. Anyway I swore I'd never be in that situation again so I started researching generators for an RV and that's when I stumbled upon your channel. I started with a Northern Tool Powerhorse 3500. That was just too heavy and took up too much space. Sold it and bought the Maxpeedingrods 3300. That was a great generator but this last outage I had the generator on with me with a full tank but when it ran out of fuel and I realized I didn't have a gas can. Went and bought a can and gas and filled the generator. An hour later the power came back. Lol. That's when I decide it was time to upgrade to a propane generator as with an RV we always have propane on hand and I won't have to worry with carrying a fuel can as well so I sold the MPR and bought the the Pulsar 4000 dual fuel. Haven't used it yet but as Memorial Day weekend is upon us it's in the truck ready to roll. Now you've got me wanting the MPR 4000GT. Man you're channel is costing me a fortune. Lol.

[@thepartyhound]

@johnnysweekends I really like your videos. I think you do a great job of putting these generators through their paces and getting some factual information out there. I recently bought an MXR4000GT. So far it seems to be a pretty good generator. However, on the downside, mine will not pull 75% of it's rated load for more than about an hour or so. 75% is generally where a generator is its most efficient in terms of energy produce vs fuel used. While running on gasoline I had a 2400W load and it was able to meet this demand, but only for about 30 minutes. I assume that it got hot and derated after this period of time as it was able to again meet this load after it cooled down for an hour. This was disappointing after spending $900 on this generator. Did you experience similar results? Your video does not come right out and say it in plain English, but in your video you do allude to needing to run a bigger generator if you are wanting to run more than about 2200-2300w...a statement that I think many would find to be debatable. Generally, a generator should be able to handle its rated load indefinitely, and it's max load for 30 minutes. Perhaps I got a dud. I'd love to hear if others have been able to run at or near the generators rated load for an extended period of time.

[@johnnysweekends]

What is the altitude where you are using it and the temps when you were having these problems

[@thepartyhound]

@@johnnysweekends This was at about 5,000' elevation which I have taken into account. This elevation would have derated power output to about 2720W...well above the 2400W I was trying to pull. Temps were ballpark mid 80's.

[@johnnysweekends]

@thepartyhound every 1000 feet you lose about 3/3.5 percent of power. If air density is also not great you could knock another percent or two. So let’s say a honest 15-17% power decrease for altitude. That’s now about an available 2550 watts roughly. And you’re trying to run 2400 plus watts. That’s about 90-95% load constant. These are rough estimates so essentially you are maxing it out. So for it to shut down makes sense. All these factors have to be accounted for. And the hotter it gets the more resistance on all items increasing the load

[@thepartyhound]

​@@johnnysweekends Correct, 3% power loss per 1kft in elevation gain is generally accepted as what you'd expect to see on a portable generator. I guess we gotta toss out an extra half a percent because it comes from China! 😂 It's strange, my Honda 2200 will run a 2kw load right there next to this unit for at least an hour and a half without issue. I have not dialed in EXACTLY what load I can run continiously with the MXR4000GT, but it might end up being only 100-200w more than the Honda 2200. I guess I was just expecting too much.

[@johnnysweekends]

@thepartyhound your Honda ran a 2k load for 1.5 hrs? Was it at the same day and time and elevation as the MXR test..? Mine can never do that, well at least that long. It’s only rated for 1800.

[@sherifx5122]

The app is a little buggy with me. Hit or miss if the display works, but the start stop usually works. I have already had a few issues with the CO2 sensor turning the unit off. If it continues I may have to figure out how "not to" bypass it like so many others have to do on other brands.

[@johnnysweekends]

I haven’t had issues with Co2 monitor. App was a little wonky but actually it’s been better now that I used it more. I only have 5 hours though on the Gt model.

[@Moondoggy1941]

It is on special on Prime Days right now.

[@johnnysweekends]

It might be sold out now.

[@jacklane7439]

Does it have a fuel shut off valve

[@greggiem7754]

When does it go on sale?

[@johnnysweekends]

I asked and I guess a couple more days. I thought it was Monday but I guess weds or Thursday

[@robbystewart8088]

Wish I could get my hands on one of these units, can’t find available anywhere.

[@johnnysweekends]

They sold it quick

[@thepartyhound]

I can't find one either. All links take me to the 3500 watt model which does not seem to share the same footprint. Also, I really like the color scheme of this 4000GT

[@kellyyoung124]

Link to the MXR4000GT is dead. What is the weight of the unit?

[@johnnysweekends]

Which link did you use? It’s about 62lbs with oil

[@kellyyoung124]

Thanks for the wight. I use the link you posted in the description for the GT model

[@johnnysweekends]

@kellyyoung124 the Amazon link won’t be valid till midnight I guess when they relist the new price ..

[@johnnysweekends]

@kellyyoung124 you can also buy direct from mxr but the deal may be better on Amazon but do t know yet

[@kellyyoung124]

How do you think this one compares to the Pulsar GX400BN for noise and power output on propane. Also is one engine better than the other?

[@jimmymac1344]

Johnny: you got my attention with the exhaust screen in that it is not an approved spark arrestor. I hadn't really thought about it. How many of these smaller generators have approved spark arrestors. How about the Pulsar 4000 dual fuel? Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think that I would want to take this into a national park or forest without one. I don't know about generators but I have seen people with motorcycles get nailed for this.

[@johnnysweekends]

It seems most don’t have an approved spark arrestor , I dont even see one on the Honda that says USFD approved. I have seen on some champions oddly enough

[@jimmymac1344]

IThank you for the reply. It got me thinking because I often see them sitting on the ground, sometimes in the grass. I see that it is not carb approved so It wouldn’t be available where I live. But it looks like a nice unit. Honda is sure getting some competition.

[@dondgc2298]

@@jimmymac1344unfortunately Honda seems to be no longer interested in competing.

[@nnation]

so link the things used in video: Oil Extractor

[@johnnysweekends]

This is the oil extractor amzn.to/3wCpkFP Which has been added to description. I added it to comment section but it didn’t go in description for some reason. Sorry.

[@LukesMovies]

I didn't have the same experience with that oil extractor. It was hard to pull out oil it. kept sucking air instead of oil and I lost the cap either in my engine or on the ground somewhere idk which, I had to go empty my oil again and put a camera in there too see if it happened to fall in which thankfully it didn’t but it still doesn't explain where the cap went. One last thing was trying to get oil out of my 5qt jug it didn’t work well at all, I had to pull so hard on it that it felt like a work out 😢

[@johnnysweekends]

Maybe I can give some tips. First if the new oil is cold yes it will be tougher to extract or suck it up same with the old in the gen hence you want to warm it up first. Second is only use the large tube and not the small. Third is throw away the cap, it’s just something that will get lost anyway. Again the oil when cold is thick so yea can be very hard to pull if cold so you will want to put the jug in the sun maybe before starting that way it warms some. Like anything it will take a time or two to learn the tricks. Nothing is magic, everything is practice till it becomes super quick. At first I was like hmm, but I used it 3 more times to make sure, and now i can whip an oil change in like 2 mins. It’s crazy. Again it’s practice. Hope this help..👍🏼

[@LukesMovies]

Thanks, I did warm it up before the change, I’ll definitely throw away any caps I have left. Not sure why but I didn’t actually get any bigger tubes. Thanks for helping 😊

[@johnnysweekends]

@LukesMovies it did come with two tubes correct a small and large ?

[@LukesMovies]

@@johnnysweekends mine were both small i didn’t remember seeing one larger than the other honestly I’m not 100% sure though

[@perrysebastian6928]

I dislike the front connectors for propane. This becomes a break/fail point if you are frequently load and unloading the generator.

[@geoffreycco1]

I purchased but had trouble right out of the box, electric start battery missing. No number in manual for help. Kinda lame.

[@johnnysweekends]

I wonder if it was an open box or return. Amazon has been a little shady lately on somethings. I had an open box product and knew right away. Returned

[@JarrinsonVargasRuiz]

Necesito comprar una😊

[@DanO181919]

What app are you using @ 17:11

[@johnnysweekends]

It’s a battery system app I have in my Rv

[@GaryHull-u8y]

Purchased through Amazon. Unit never cranked, gas or LP. 12 emails to the mfg in China. MaxPeedingRods no help at all. Hoping a forum might develop that addresses this unit. Local mechanics have no clue other than no power (or intermittent) to the carb and no spark. Nice looking unit but so far completely worthless.

[@johnnysweekends]

Did you buy the Amazon warranty?

[@dangeroustoman]

I would prefer to have a separate remote. I don't need to give them access to my phone to start a generator.

[@johnnysweekends]

Yea I don’t like setting up accounts. Prefer to just use the app but even Honda needs an account.

[@cdbnum1]

Can’t get it in California time to leave this place 😂

[@geneallen5294]

Too expensive for me.

[@CitizenOfBabylon]

Too much money.

[@johnnysweekends]

Not many others if any have all these options so hard to really compare to others to show if its to much or not.

[@Khmtravelvlog]

It's on sale currently on eBay $699 with the labor day coupon.

[@johnnysweekends]

@Khmtravelvlog nice!!!

[@Khmtravelvlog]

@@johnnysweekends I just ordered it. This will be used on my semi truck just need to figure out the best way to set it up for easy maintenance and likely going to use a shore power connection for my air conditioning.
