- A potential perfect solution for a whole house portable generator - the Genmax 10,500 watt Tri Fuel open frame inverter generator, model # GM10500XiT
I purchased this to have an inexpensive whole house solution that can run on multiple fuel types while providing clean power and high output as well as 240v!

I think Jason does a very very good job of presenting this generator .....Kudos to him.
Thanks for watching!
That's a crazy price on what looks like a very fully featured generator! I have a similar model from Champion, which has been excellent and met all my needs, but if this had been available at the time I probably would have bought it instead.
If you have natural gas already as well as an interlock/transfer switch, these tri-fuel inverter generators are the perfect fit. Having fuel flexibility during any kind of outage or natural disaster is so valuable.
I totally agree! The Genmax is priced very competitive for what you get and I think it’s a tremendous value!
Thanks for watching!
I bought the IETC model that has the larger engine and is disconnect ready. It is very quiet for what it does since it is fully enclosed. I checked with the neighbors about the noise after the breakin period and they said " what noise?". If the grid is down and I were not generating solar i can charge my whole house battery system in two hours for the day. If you don't mind the noise then this is the unit. Point of interest - the 240 output from both of these units is 7200 watts. The 50 amp outlet is only 50 amps if you run two units in tandem.
That is great to hear, the enclosed models are definitely very quiet and that’s a huge plus! Thanks for watching!
That price is superb. I bought the fully enclosed unit and it cost me $3000 Canadian. Sold by TMG Industrial but all the same unit basically made by Dinking Corp in China....TMG, Genmax, Pulsar, Tomahawk, Home Depo unit...basically all the same unit with and without some basic features. This is a superb unit and works great for home backup through a Generlink switch with natural gas. Haven't tried propane yet but should work just fine.
That is a great price and you are right, it really is a good value! Slightly louder than an enclosed unit but you’re only using this for emergencies not for camping so it should be less of an issue.
Thanks for watching!
@@Outdoor_Prepper Only one thing I have a concern about is parts and service availability.. With Genmax you are probably ok, but my supplier TMG Industrial warranties their (and my )unit for one year. I can't imagine they are in any position to supply replacement parts either during or after the warranty. The maker of our units (ChongDinking Corp ) in China says they will honour the warranty so I suppose if I give them the part description and the name of the unit they should be able to supply parts and I do my own work.. From the RUclips videos of this company, they would seem to be a reputable company in business and selling generator and other small equipment all over the world since 2010.
I own 10 generators (don't ask) and the only ones the seem to take warranty and service properly are Champion and of course Honda. But I sold my Honda EU6500 because I don't want to run on gas anymore (and put $1000 back in my pocket) after the purchase of my 10500 unit.
@@TOURMANBOB They sell tri-fuel add-ons for generators.
Looks like they are using the same Dinking 312cc engine that they are using in the Genmax GM7500aIED ($899 at Sam's Club), GM8500aIED ($1299 at Home Depot), the GM6000ied ($1399 retail), GM7250iEDC ($1699 retail), and many others. Seems to be a good engine overall. I have the Genmax GM7500aIED from Sam's Club and bought it when the Black Friday deal was $799 shipped and was able to buy a 2nd one from them at same price a week ago. Now at about $1800 all in, I have 11,000 running watts on demand if needed running 2 in parallel with their kit. Good generators.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Dinking is such a temu name😂

One small space heater took it to 25% capacity. I can see why it’s recommended to have a buddy heater. I have the enclosed Genmax tri fuel as my whole house generator. I have done two test runs and it ran perfectly. I tried using propane but it wouldn’t start. I will try it again, making sure I purge the line. I was hesitant to have the propane valve open for a long time before starting it. But I will give it another try. I read that NEC does not recommend using propane with the remote. So I pushed the push start.
@@steffiejoe the space heater is just a tad over 1500 watts. In fairness the meter only has 0, 25, 50, 75, 100, so it was probably less than 25 percent but that was the only real metric to measure it. I definitely think if you’re going to use a space heater with any generator that you’re better off using Mr buddy heater as they take a ton of power. I did a review on Mr buddy heater on my channel - check it out if you haven’t seen it. A generator is better used to power other things outside of a space heater.
Thanks for watching!
You may have turned the propane switch on too fast activating the safety unit in the switch. Disconnect and then turn the propane switch on SLOWLY and you should be good to go.
Nice and Affordable with a low THD of 3%
@@GeneralLee0178 well said! Thanks for watching!
Carb cleaner seems to work best for me for cleaning spark arrestors. Predators are notorious for running rich and the ones I have will gum up every 30-40h. I use them on job sites so they get more runtime than most homeowners do, so 40h might sound like a lot to some but it's every week for me. Kero/gas does work but it takes longer and you have to soak them. Carb cleaner cuts right through it with a few sprays.
Great tip! Thanks for sharing.
Great video. I have an EG4 inverter that am currently looking for a generator with 3%THD or less , and that also support for dry contact connection for auto gen start , the cable you mentioned @2:47 "remote start cable" . If that cable is connected to the generator and then you connect the two end of that cable, does it start the generator? Am really looking to replace my current westin generator with a new one but i want to make sure i get one that will meet my need. Thanks
Well, I was going to ask for an update on what you thought after having this generator for awhile. 😆 It may be too soon for an update. Unless, have you connected it to NG yet? I've seen that some others had some issues connecting to NG. Oh, I can't give you credit for the purchase, but you made me feel better about my decision that is arriving tomorrow.
A little too soon for an update but from my initial startup and break in, I definitely like it. Don’t have the natural gas hookup yet. It’s a bit louder than an enclosed unit but other than that I have no complaints!
Did you forget the 2 wire start plug. Thats great if you have a home battery system as it will charge up batteries automatically at a specified setpoint.
Great point! Thx for watching!
Now Sam's Club has the BIG Genmax GM11000iETC tri fuel on sale for $1749 till Feb 23rd. $750 off. Wow
Wow! That's a great deal! I'll have to check that out.
are you sure its Sams?
@avguytx4361 😮 now that's a deal
@ Yep. You'll have to go to their site to look it up. Search genmax generator as I can't post a link here apparently
Yeah but 250.00 for shipping
Please note, leaving this supplied battery charger connected continuously will damage the battery long term. Note this particular charger is NOT a battery tender which is the only type of charger safe to leave on long term. I have separate ones for all my small engine batteries and my motorcycle and leave them on continually.
What I had to do was run another battery charging lead out through the front cover (fully enclosed 10500 unit) to connect the battery tender. They are available most everywhere for around $20 to $30
Great info, thanks for sharing!
I have a8k generator and it runs basically the whole house except major appliances.. so no oven, central a/c, pool...but irubs heat , all lights, refrigerators, and well pump and electric water heater.
That’s a great list of what can be powered by an 8kW generator!
Wondering how clean the Inverters power is for sensitive electronics (compared to say a Bluetti solar power station with pure sign wave, etc.)
Total THD of less than 3% so I’d say very clean and comparable to the Bluetti.
Thanks for watching!
Can you tell me how much this unit really weighs? I know it says 123 pounds and you stated it felt more like 223 pounds. I am just wanting a close weight of this generator within 10 +/-
My best guess is it’s about 200lbs. It’s a great generator but definitely weighs more than 123 lbs.
in the box, I needed someone else to help me move it. Once the wheels and handles are put on it’s very easy to move and roll around with 1 person.
Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
Nice unit looks complicated tho . Wonder how long the engine will last
It may look complicated but it's really not that difficult to use! I hope that with regular oil changes it will last a long time! Thanks for watching!
@@Outdoor_Prepper It comes with a steel sleave in the cylinder so no reason at all it shouldn't last a very long time.
Totally agree!
Comes with magnetic dipstick?!
It does! It’s a great unit and I really appreciate the magnetic dipstick! Thanks for watching!

Of course. Thanks Kalifornia.
I wish my champion generator ran a natural gas. My 5 gallon tank lasts about 5 hours and a propane tank last about three. Hooked up to natural gas would in theory run for days at a time. Can a dual fuel generator be adapted to Natural Gas?
It's unfortunate that it's not available everywhere, but I agree California has some ridiculous restrictions on things. There are some folks who make aftermarket adapters to run generators on natural gas. Search online for you’re model number and natural gas conversion. I know for example that there are many aftermarket kits to convert the small Honda inverters to propane. Thanks for watching!
@OutdoorPrepper - I agree that TriFuel is the way to go for flexibility. Everyone needs options in emergencies.
Well said! Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment!
