Description
Zoom on the Genmax GM15000ET
In a nutshell, the Genmax GM15000ET is a powerful portable generator mostly geared towards:
- Professionals who want to be able to deliver results, even during a power failure
- Homeowners who want to be able to use the most necessary devices in their household, even during a blackout
Over the following sections, you'll uncover its power characteristics, the selection of outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the supplementary features it includes.
Power & Run Time
The Genmax GM15000ET
The Genmax GM15000ET delivers 120/240V and is equipped with a tri-fuel technology, enabling it to operate on gasoline, propane, or natural gas. When powered by gasoline, it achieves a running wattage of 11,000W and a peak wattage of 15,000W. Switching to propane provides 10,000 rated watts and 13,000 peak watts, while natural gas operation delivers 8,800W of rated wattage and 12,000W of starting wattage.
With a noise rating of 76 dBA (less noisy than a vacuum cleaner), the generator features a traditional recoil pull-start mechanism, but also a hassle-free and practical electric starter (battery included). Additionally, the GM15000ET may be remotely started, enhancing user convenience (key fob included).
The generator also includes 2-wire start support, enabling automated control by compatible automatic transfer switches (ATS), solar battery systems, or hybrid inverter setups using a low-voltage contact-closure signal.
In terms of run time, the GM15000ET, boasting a 10.5 gallons fuel tank, can run for around 11 hours at 50% load on a full tank of gasoline (with fuel consumption averaging 0.95 gallons per hour). Additionally, it provides around 3.7 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 1.27 GPH) of operation with propane.
As the GM15000ET exhibits a THD of less than 23%, which is high, it is best avoided for powering sensitive electronic devices.
Outlets
The control panel features the following 8 AC outlets:
It also sports 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle with which you may charge your batteries with ease.
As it features a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the GM15000ET is transfer switch ready: in case of a power outage, you will be easily able to connect it to a breaker box and power your household.
Portability
With dimensions of L28 x W31.6 x H28.7 in, the standard open frame design of the Genmax GM15000ET provides stability and easy maintenance access to components, as well as good air circulation. The design is ideal for rough environments and demanding outdoor use.
While weighing 242 lbs, the generator is classified as 'portable,' indicating its mobility, albeit its heftiness may limit portability in specific situations. Still, once it is on the ground, its wheel kit and its folding handle can easily solve the issue of low mobility and allow for easy relocation of the device.
Features
The GM15000ET's control panel
To help you monitor the GM15000ET's status and activity, its control panel is equipped with a digital data center, giving you information on the lifetime run hours, frequency, voltage and power output. To offer you even more control and easy operation during nighttime, the panel is LED-lit.
In addition to this info, a light indicator serves to show you when its oil levels are insufficient.
The built-in fuel gauge of the generator ensures simple and quick gas level assessments.
From a security standpoint, the product offers an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), allowing you to use it with a peace of mind.
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.
Apart from the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to facilitate setup, the Genmax GM15000ET features extra accessories: propane hose, battery charger, funnel, natural gas hose with NPT adapter, oil, neutral bonding plug, tool kit, key fob and cover.

The Genmax GM15000ET versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Genmax GM15000ET compare to multi-fuel generators of similar power (between 10000 and 14000 W).
- Regarding its weight, the Genmax GM15000ET only weighs in at 242 pounds, which means it's one of the lighter multi-fuel generators in the 10000-14000 rated wattage range. If weight matters to you, one of the champions in this power range is the DuroStar DS13000MX with only 209 pounds.
- With noise emissions rated as low as 76 dBA, this generator falls within the typical noise range expected for devices of similar type and power. If noise emissions are one of your priorities, you may be interested in the Genmax GM13500iETC, one of the least noisy generators similarly powerful as this one, rated for 62 dBA.
- Among its multi-fuel devices with similar power, the GM15000ET offers one of the higher run times, running for around 11 hours at 50% load. If prolonged run time is essential to your needs, you could consider the WEN TF1450X, which offers one of the highest autonomy among devices with similar power output, lasting around 12 hours.
- Though run time is a significant parameter, it's closely tied to the generator's fuel tank size. To get a comprehensive understanding, fuel efficiency must also be taken into account. With an estimated fuel consumption of 0.95 GPH at a 50% load, this generator aligns with the average gasoline usage range of comparable products. If fuel consumption is your top priority, we suggest to check out the WEN TF1450X, which has a fuel consumption of only 0.68 GPH and thus, is one of the most efficient devices in our database.
