Thank you for the review. I love the camo look and the compact size. There are two things that would make this generator perfect. It needs to be dual fuel and it needs the parallel ports. If they do that I will order two of them quick, fast, and in a hurry.
I do like how much room is inside of it when you take the cover off, should be easy to work on it, instead of everything crammed in it; Lithium battery instead of SLA is a really nice touch.
I really like the fact you can easily remove the silly spark arrestor w/o taking the back off if you're only running it around the house, and not have to deal with maintenance issues keeping it clean; of-course put all the parts in a zip-lock bag incase you need them later.
That’s true
Very impressive unit with 120/240V 5000W. Dual Fuel would be the icing on the cake. I'm guessing that Genmax is planning this.
I really like the compact size of this unit
Excellent unboxing detail, as always great attention to detail in your videos. Keep up the good work!
Thanks George 👍🏾
Great video and great looking generator! Surprised there isn't parallel connectors. Less than 100 pounds, electric start, running any RV and maybe even house power this is a generator to consider.
Yessir 👍🏾💯
Nice lightweight generator.
Cannot wait for the new GenMax 7250 to come out and for you to show us that one compared to the Honda 7000. All the best Gavin. Mike i
Thanks Mike
Need to see the load test. I want to see how the sine wave looks with your scope when loaded down.
I know this will probably sound stupid but I wish the CO detector had an off switch. I normally keep my generator in the back of my pickup when camping with the hard roll top bed cover almost fully closed. Just open enough to let out exhaust and air in. It keeps the sound down to almost nothing. I always try to be a considerate camper and not disturb other campers around me no matter what others are doing. That said, I really like this generator. Looking forward to the load test.
This one has to be the most compact 240 V generator so far I’ve worked with and I really like to build quality.
Tape?
It's not just for humans. The generator needs a decent ratio of fresh air for it's own combustion.
@@duskyman1 Covering with tape doesn't work. Tried with my friends Honda and it just delays it a bit.
while it's a pain, open up the panel & disconnect the sensor, all they do is short to ground which shuts the engine off; easily defeated
Another GREAT REVIEW Gavin! I agree with the others; dual fuel would make this a big winner!!
NOW find us a compact 120/240 V inverter generator that can run on propane and natural gas!
Looks great. I have the 3500 and the 9500 predator inverter's
The spinning table is a nice addition to the channel. Great video Sir. Cheers.
Thanks
looks good, needs duel-fuel, but I do see on their website they do have a model with less output that does
$1300 is a little steep for 5000 generator.
For a 5,000 inverter that's not 74 DB?
you can get the same gen in non-camo version on their website for $1049.00 :)
My new favorite UA-cam channel 😊
Thanks 😊
The max rpm on this unit is 4800. That's alot but it's needed for a relatively small displacement engine. You have to run it harder.
Would this be able to run a welding machine in my garage?
I would first check the welding machine, see how many amps it require, and if the generator put out that requirement, it should run it perfectly
Wow! Getting close to my worst-case scenario of what was formerly 6740 watts (covered by something using natural gas) so I was trying to figure out which open-frame inverter would work for me since the price diff for a full inverter was about a thousand bucks. But this makes me wonder if I am missing something just a tad larger than this that could cover 6k hooked to natural gas (thinking not)? I just replaced my old plasma 50" tv and dropped wattage from 350-450 watts every moment the old one was on to about 75-95 watts for a new QLED that is five inches larger, lol. I wouldn't need to build such a robust sound-reducing enclosure either, hmmm. Update: I just noticed the genmax 6000 with dual fuel, propane 4750 watts so natural gas a few hundred less at minimum, so still not really close enough.
The amp ratings seem off. I know its 220 but they give you a 30&50 amp plugs but only rate them for 21 amps????
Agreed unless that's the 240v amp rating and double that for 120v the website is unclear.
you get those plugs so that you can access both L1 & L2 it doesn't mean you get 50 amps or even 30 amps, many many generators give you a 30 amp receptacle "style" but you don't get 30 amps just because the receptacle style can support that as max.. so to me the amp rating is not off and is in-line with other generators.
Quick example & there are plenty of others out there, take a look at the a-ipower 2300 gen it gives you a 30 amp receptacle style but you are not going to get any where near the full rating of that receptacle's max capability, look at the predator 2000 it has 120v 20 amp style receptacles, you're not even going to get 15 amps out of that gen, you could argue they should have used 15 amp style receptacles but they didn't.
This seems too good to be true for the weight. What size engine in CC is it?
Why is it called 6250iE when its power is 5500/5000W? Also, I think a small 25% load is better for break-in on the gas engine, rather than zero. Really...same with any motor...that way the piston rings will seat better.
It's a shame they don't give you a camo cover. Great deal anyway
GREAT video but how much oil do you put in and i bought the dipstick should it be up to the last ring?
Engine displacement, 223 cc rated RPMs 4810 capacity 2.9 gallons oil capacity 0.7 L.
Great review as usual Gavin. I got a Tablet oscilloscope and want to test the sine wave output of my equipment but I can't figure out how to attach the probe. Can you maybe do a tutorial for doing this or just let me know?. I don't want to blow up my new scope. Thanks, Gavin.
Ok I will do that 🤭
When are you going to load test this inverter ??
Hey Apex
Running a little behind because of the Christmas holidays
Have you done the load test ? I have the same model in Australia just different plugs and a RCD unfortunately
This will be the next one I do
You said you were reviewing a generator but I couldn't see one. Where was it?
Which one??
Not dual fuel? No no no. I picked the maxpeedingrods 4000 dual fuel and I have the Genmax 7500 dual fuel from Sam's club.
Great choices😊
any chance we could get some fuel consumption numbers? I have been looking at 120v inverters because of fuel consumption....but I love the fact this has 240v, would work great with my transfer switch. I would be willing to give up a little fuel efficiency to get the benefit of easy hook up.
Yessir I will do that.
Website says 9.5hrs at 25% and 6 at 50%. Kind of a small fuel tank.
Great video Gavin, Amp rating is unclear on the website 20.9 running amps @ what voltage??? We can assume at 240v but that needs to be clear.
If its 20.9 at 240V then it should be 41.8 amps running at 120V ?? Starting amps is 22.9 at ? volts, generator weight is 86lbs according to the website.
Yes 86 lbs dry weight add oil and gas you’ll get the real world weight
We should get all those questions answered in the load test
Thanks for putting all those out. I can use that when I do the test. 👍🏾💯
yes that would be correct @ 240v you get 20.9 amps & 41.8 amps on 120v, it should be clear if you think about it because otherwise it would be 41.8 amps @ 240v which for that size engine is simply impossible
@@joey24698 True, but if it was actually 20.9 at 120v then its a piece of junk, so they shouldn't leave that info up to consumer assumption, hence the reason 99% of companies put 240/120v amp ratings on their websites.
@@Rockrewls that doesn't even seem logical it's a 5000 watt gen
Are you or have you reviewed the Genmax 6000xie open frame inverter? Love your reviews and was checking this one out personally.
Yes I did, Thanks 🙏🏾
ua-cam.com/video/D6uyLlsHzQU/v-deo.html
@@GeneratorReviews oh I ment the gm6000xie that link was for the gm3500xi that's ok I searched through you videos and couldn't find the 6k maybe in a future vid. Thanks again!
So you'll be able to put this up against the Honda.
Yessir I’m waiting on two more then I’ll do a comparison video
Something with 6250 in the name has a peak of 5500 seems misleading. I for one wish they would just put the rated capacity in the name because that's what's really important. A 20 amp electrical breaker will pass more current momentarily for starting a motor..... But it's rated capacity is 20 amp. We don't call it a 50 amp and try and mislead people..... Because there are codes and standards.
Wheels always need to be big enough to roll on grass or dirt.... Unless it's a huge gen thats not really portable. Those wheels are ridiculous for something that's portable. However the 86 lb weight is somewhat of a game changer if you actually get 5,000 Watts. Obviously it has a small engine for its power output which is only 237 CC which is a fraction of the size most generators would be for this power. That will directly equate to shorter engine life. That may be a perfectly acceptable trade-off for somebody who uses it infrequently
They actually rolled perfectly fine in my grass for the size
Thanks Duskyman1 👍🏾👊🏾💯
@@GeneratorReviews your grass is fairly manicured and a lot different from what my hunting camp looks like 😊. More or less it would be being dragged across the ground with those little wheels. But for the RV campers particularly those in paved campground spots it would work great. The lightweight is almost such that you could just carry it.
@@duskyman1 True!! agreed 👍🏾
that remains to be seen if it means shorter engine life because they could have used a more efficient engine thus the reason for the higher price as opposed to a cheaper made larger engine to run it, so I think that is a completely unfair & un-proven statement; what kind of warranty does it have? I'd bet the same as the rest of gen's out there, so I'd bet the engine is more efficient than cheaper engines and will last just as long as the the rest.
@@joey24698 yeah I agree it's unproven. But when it comes to the torque of turning an engine driven device there's no replacement for displacement. The smaller engine will have to run higher RPMs all the time to deliver the same amount of power. Higher rpm, coupled with increase loads on smaller bearing surface areas means more rapid wear... Will most occasionally users ever see this..... Probably not. Chinese clone engines aren't the greatest engines to start with.....
Your standard Honda clone GX200 6.5 horsepower engine that is the workhorse of many pumps, 3500 watt enerators, go karts, lawn mowers, etc..... Can produce more power. Go-kart racers install parts on them to produce up to 11 horsepower or more. Through trial and error there is a very defined way to increase the power and RPM on the engines safely in stages. But the life is extremely shortened by doing so. At 12 horsepower they may be looking at 1 race. The engine normally runs 3600 RPM, at 4200 you have to replace the flywheel with a more robust one because it will fly apart.... A different stages of rpm valve springs need to be beefed up in order to to keep up etc. This is only something like 4500 RPM I think.
Anyway with every increase in speed of that engine there is a very definite decrease in life. These engines are not massively over designed or something. And Honda has about the best engine technology and skills that's why they are the ones that everybody has copied.
