Hello Gavin!! Happy holidays to you! I am fresh back in the winter of Colorado:-( from the Mojave Desert :-) I am digging the desert more, currently! Thank you for this awesome video! I have a transfer switch on my house. These two models would be awesome to power the house, if needed. Fortunately, the power in Ouray, Colorado is very reliable; I am pretty surprised by that due to our remoteness. Have a great day!! PS. Many congrats on almost getting to 100k subscribers!!
@generatorreviews do we need to ground the parallel kit ground lug on the junction box back to the generators? Or is that just overkill, not sure why it is there. I assume its unnecessary but just wondering if its needed.
This must only work for the "series" models and not regular 120 volt generators or is it the technology of the parallel kit itseld that allows the 240 volts in parallel mode?. Nice upgrade. Duromax has got to get with the program so I can run my 120 volt unit in series to get 240 volts.
I am curious to know if you have the parallel kit set to 120 instead of 240 if one generator dies will it do the same or will there still be power at the parallel kit? Did you happen to do a review on the dual fuel 4600, by itself?
I will be able to test it out for my own as well soon. I ordered the parallel kit & the 4600 dual fuel to parallel with the efi unit. I wanted to have at least one of them be dual fuel. The generator & parallel kit is supposed to be delivered today.
Hey Gavin, great videos man, as always. Question : Do I really need an inverter generator?! Or a regular duromax such as the 13.000 w ( which is not an inverter) will do me well?! Duromax website said that this generation can power tvs, laptops and etc. Thanks for the help. Budget is tight so that's why I am trying to stay away from inverters ( because of the price)but understand if I have to.
I think if you’re using it for construction or non-home backup, a non-inverter is fine. For RV or my home, I would recommend you using an Inverter Generator 100% of the time.
Thank you for the reply, really appreciate it. I am using for home back up so I will get an inverter one. If it's not too much to ask, I was thinking combine 2 generators. If I use one non inverter, transferring power to a generator with inverter and from this one with the inverter sending power to the house. Do you think that works? Knowing that the one sending power to the house is the inverter generator?! Thank you
@@Glasi154 😮??? ahh not sure of the set up u want but please don't try anything crazy.. a non invertor generator operates differently than a inverter generator.. my opinion just buy an affordable inverter model bonus it consumes less fuel
We have two GM7250iEDC we will be paralleling. One is a 2022 and the other 2023 . The 2023 has the neutral connector/port on the front panel, the 2022 does not. We have both of them un-bonded to meet code so we can hook up to the house. Can we connect the neutral from the 2022 to the 2023 without any circulating current problems given they have the exact rating and are of the same brand? I would imagine they added it to the 2023 for safety reasons or perhaps a more stable environment, not sure though. BTW, thanks for all the greats vids.
They’ve only been able to series them for more power. Offering a true parallel connection with split phase 240 is new and makes this like a big boy with this built in. Why offer this? Maybe you just need one for camping but have the second for outages at home.
go online and search outside the US. there's a ton of generators that comes from the same factory that's already 240v. you don't need to buy two and a parallel kit
Most likely not split phase. European 240V is not the same as the United States 240V. Here in the states we use split phase 240V in Europe they use single phase 240V.
Have you ever tested the Sam's Club version GM7500iAED? At $899 it seems like a great deal for a dual fuel 240v ready with 50a plug. But, it's Sam's Club/WalMart and if a manufacturer gets an item into their company, it has to be built to a certain price point that they are exclusive with. I know this for fact as I was a manufacturers rep for various car audio lines in my "first career" and it was always a nightmare dealing with that 800-lb gorilla of a company. But at $900, it's quite the deal; just no testing on it.
@@GeneratorReviews Did they give you a reason why? I mean I could take a guess but I just bought two and have been looking into getting the correct parallel kit for it. Thanks for all your videos by the way, they're very helpful
Very interesting video. I have just recently ordered the 4600 efi, it should be delivered in the next day or 2. I was under the assumption that in order to parallel these units they had to be the exact same units. It appears that is not the case with these 2 models...🤔. Everything is the same except for the efi. I just wasn't sure the carb & efi would.play nice together.
Congratulations 🎉 on 100,000 . Well deserved 🎉🎉
Genmax has upped the game with this set up.

Happy holidays to you also my friend stay safe.👍🏾😊
Yes, we’re almost at 100,000 subscribers I can’t wait 👏🏽
Almost 100K subs. 🤞🤞
Yessir!!!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🙏🏾🙏🏾
How may watts do you get out of 240v? Is it the 4k or does it double to 8k or maybe 6k?
Nothing like paralleling two!
Yep! especially with that extra feature. It just got better.👍🏾😊
@generatorreviews do we need to ground the parallel kit ground lug on the junction box back to the generators? Or is that just overkill, not sure why it is there. I assume its unnecessary but just wondering if its needed.
If you can ground it, that’s great, but it’s not necessary for it to work
@GeneratorReviews awesome, makes sense. Appreciate your answer and your time.
This must only work for the "series" models and not regular 120 volt generators or is it the technology of the parallel kit itseld that allows the 240 volts in parallel mode?. Nice upgrade. Duromax has got to get with the program so I can run my 120 volt unit in series to get 240 volts.
Gavin, I have two 4800 genmax inverter generators I’m having a problem connecting the 120/240 connector. Is there a way to connect them?
What’s the problem? Do you have a defected unit?
I am curious to know if you have the parallel kit set to 120 instead of 240 if one generator dies will it do the same or will there still be power at the parallel kit?
Did you happen to do a review on the dual fuel 4600, by itself?
Yes, I demonstrated that in the video
I will be able to test it out for my own as well soon. I ordered the parallel kit & the 4600 dual fuel to parallel with the efi unit. I wanted to have at least one of them be dual fuel.
The generator & parallel kit is supposed to be delivered today.
This is sweet!!!
Any idea if they will make any EFI models that are dual fuel capable?
I don’t know if that’s even possible they’ll have to bypass the injectors somehow.
Great video! Do you think this setup could be used as a level 2 charger for a BEV?
No not really you’ll need at least 30 to 40 amps at 240v for level two charging
Thanks for the quick response! If I ran the two in series would the output be 29 amps at 240V (7000watts) with a pure sine wave? @@GeneratorReviews
But ❗️its the Series Connection that Adds Volt
Parallel Connection Adds up Amphere
Great video this combo is very cool thanks for the video
Glad you like it

@@joebrown9621 thank you for your reply. I will follow your direction for sure. Thank you
Shalom Gavin, did you just recently hit that RUclips 100,000 subscriber?
Yessir, I just did. Finally 🙏🏾😊
@@GeneratorReviews Congrats to you bro, Bravo Zulu.
I love the Efi genmax. Can you show us the battery it comes with? I had a pulsar and was very disappointed in the battery they used
Ok 👍🏾 I will
Can you still ship the injector 4500 to California?
I will check!

Yes, you should be fine, especially since you have both of them floating neutral.
Thanks for the very quick response.
I'm confused. Paralleling 120v generators for 240v has been around for awhile, why is this special?
If you can tell me one model that has been able to do this I will check I will check it out.
They’ve only been able to series them for more power. Offering a true parallel connection with split phase 240 is new and makes this like a big boy with this built in.

@@MichaelEaslick Bingo. This new setup adds much more flexibility.
@@MichaelEaslickWhat would someone use 240 for? Can I not parallel my 2 predator 5000 and run them to a panel to power a house in an outage?
Having the ability to parallel and series to get 240V is awesome!
Where is the link?
Parallel kit is on genmax website. GM6000SPK
Links updated in the description. Thanks for the reminder.👍🏾😊
Do they make a true 50 amp RV generator that does 50 A per leg for 100 A total?
That model will be released next year.
go online and search outside the US. there's a ton of generators that comes from the same factory that's already 240v. you don't need to buy two and a parallel kit
Most likely not split phase. European 240V is not the same as the United States 240V. Here in the states we use split phase 240V in Europe they use single phase 240V.
They stopped selling this. No longer available.

I haven’t tested that one because they won’t let me.
@GeneratorReviews Ahhh... The 800lb retail gorilla. I get it. "They" meaning the WM group or Genmax?
@@GeneratorReviews Did they give you a reason why? I mean I could take a guess but I just bought two and have been looking into getting the correct parallel kit for it. Thanks for all your videos by the way, they're very helpful
Very interesting video.
I have just recently ordered the 4600 efi, it should be delivered in the next day or 2.
I was under the assumption that in order to parallel these units they had to be the exact same units.
It appears that is not the case with these 2 models...🤔.
Everything is the same except for the efi.
I just wasn't sure the carb & efi would.play nice together.
