Genmax GM12500iET - 10500/12500W Tri Fuel Inverter Generator With Remote Start

In a nutshell, the Genmax GM12500iET is a powerful portable inverter generator mostly geared towards:

• Professionals who want to ensure that a power failure will not prevent them from working
• Homeowners who want to be able to use the most necessary devices in their household, even during a blackout

In the upcoming sections, you'll discover its power characteristics, the array of outlets it presents, its overall portability, and the additional features it possesses.

Power & Run Time

The Genmax GM12500iET delivers 120/240V and features a tri-fuel technology, granting it the capability to utilize gasoline, propane, or natural gas. When utilizing gasoline, it achieves a running wattage of 10,500W and a peak wattage of 12,500W. Upon switching to propane, it benefits from 9,500 rated watts and 11,500 peak watts. Transitioning to natural gas operation provides 8,500W of rated wattage and 10,000W of starting wattage.

At a noise rating of 62 dBA (just slightly more noisy than an office), this inverter generator provides the choice between a standard recoil pull-rope starting mechanism or a hassle-free and practical electric starter (battery included) for starting. Furthermore, for added convenience, the GM12500iET offers remote starting capabilities (key fob included).

In terms of its run time capability, the GM12500iET, furnished with a 6.1 gallons fuel tank, can maintain operations for up to 10.4 hours on a full tank of gasoline (with fuel consumption averaging 0.59 gallons per hour). It also provides up to 6 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.78 GPH) of operation with propane.

The <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the GM12500iET ensures a clean sine wave output, providing a secure power source for your sensitive electronics through its AC outlets.

Outlets

The control panel is equipped with the following 6 AC outlets:

Additionally, it features 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle with which you may charge your batteries with ease.

While this Genmax generator is not RV Ready, its L5-30R receptacle can be used for a simple RV connection with an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor. Besides, the unit features an ATS plug, which makes it compatible with automatic transfer switches.

Portability

With its enclosed inverter generator design (L30.9 x W22.6 x H29.3 in), the Genmax GM12500iET offers superior aesthetics and operates with minimized noise levels, distinguishing itself from standard, open frame generators. The featured design follows the latest trends and is ideal for easy and recreational use.

While technically classified as 'portable' due to its ability to be moved, the 251.9 lbs of this generator make manual lifting and transportation incredibly difficult. Nevertheless, the restricted maneuverability is counteracted by its set of 2 wheels and its folding handle, enabling easy shifting once the generator is set in place.

Features

The GM12500iET's control panel

Included in the control panel of the GM12500iET, a digital data center assists in tracking its status and activity by providing details on the voltage, lifetime run hours, power output and frequency.

In addition to this info, the generator's light indicators provide visual feedback when the generator is on overload, the generator is ready and its oil levels are insufficient.

The fuel level of the inverter generator can be determined quickly, easily, and conveniently with the help of its built-in fuel gauge.

From a security standpoint, the generator is furnished with an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), ensuring peace of mind during operation.

It also benefits from Genmax's CO DETECT technology, which is designed to monitor the level of carbon monoxide present during the generator's operation. If the generator is positioned incorrectly and carbon monoxide levels rise to an unsafe level, the generator will automatically shut down.

While the standard documentation and an owner's manual, helpful for starting the device promptly, come with the Genmax GM12500iET, the following accessories are also included: key fob, propane hose, funnel, battery charger, natural gas hose with NPT adapter and tool kit.

Genmax App

The app allows remote monitoring

Genmax’s app lets you pair your smartphone with your GM12500iET inverter generator. It allows you to always know exactly what is going on.

Using Bluetooth technology, the generator communicates with the app (available on iOS (opens in a new tab) and Android (opens in a new tab) devices) to conveniently monitor power consumption, fuel level, remaining runtime, and even remotely shut off your generator directly from your smartphone.

The information displayed within the app is identical to the information displayed on the LCD screen of the GM12500iET.
