Genmax GM2000i - 1600/2000W Inverter Generator

Description

Zoom on the Genmax GM2000i

To sum up, the Genmax GM2000i is a quiet, compact and lightweight portable inverter generator tailored for:

• Camping and tailgating hobbyists looking for a portable power source
• DIYers who wish to improve their efficiency with tools

In the forthcoming sections, you'll delve into its power characteristics, the various outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the additional features it boasts.

Power & Run Time

The Genmax GM2000i

Genmax GM2000i runs on gasoline, powered by a 79.7 cc Dinking OHV 4-stroke engine, delivering 120V, boasting a running wattage of 1,600W alongside a starting wattage of 2,000W. In addition, the device is parallel capable (parallel kit (opens in a new tab) not included) and thus, can be linked to a similar or compatible unit for added power.

Featuring a noise rating of 58 dBA (less noisy than a quiet suburb), the inverter generator utilizes a simple traditional pull-start mechanism for ignition.

The GM2000i's fuel tank, boasting 1.1 gallon, allows it to operate for up to 10 hours with a full tank (with an estimated fuel consumption of 0.11 GPH).

The GM2000i ensures a clean sine wave output, boasting <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) to protect your sensitive electronics when connected to its AC outlets.

Outlets

The control panel features the upcoming 2 AC outlets:

Duplex 120V 20A (5-20R)

It also sports 2 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports (USB-A) ensuring convenient charging of devices like mobile phones and tablets, for connectivity on the go.

Portability

Thanks to its closed inverter generator design (L18.7 x W10.6 x H15.9 in), the Genmax GM2000i not only offers superior aesthetics but also operates with reduced noise levels compared to a typical, open frame generator. The featured design follows the latest trends and is ideal for easy and recreational use.

With its weight totaling only 34.2 lbs, the GM2000i stands out as a lightweight generator. As it can be moved by a single person without much effort, the generator and its power can be enjoyed on-the-go. This convenience is further enhanced by its handle (molded in the case), which allows for easy carrying.

Features

The GM2000i's control panel

The generator's light indicators provide visual feedback when the generator is on overload, the generator is ready and the oil level is too low.

Considering security aspects, the generator boasts an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, offering peace of mind throughout 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.

Apart from the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to facilitate setup, the Genmax GM2000i features extra accessories: funnel and tool kit.

The Genmax GM2000i versus other generators

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Genmax GM2000i compare to inverter generators of similar power (between 1500 and 2500 W).

• Concerning weight, the Genmax GM2000i weighs only just 34.2 pounds, distinguishing itself as one of the lightest inverter generators amidst the 1500 to 2500 rated wattage range.
• When comparing it to devices with a similar running wattage, this inverter generator's lowest noise level of 58 dBA puts it alongside the noisier units. If noise level is one your key decisive factors, you may find the Honda EU2200i appealing. It's rated at 48 dBA, making it one of the quietest generators in its power range.
• The GM2000i, offering a run time of up to 10 hours with a full tank at a 25% load, falls within the average autonomy range when compared to its peers. If you consider autonomy on a single full tank as one of the deciding factors, one of the generators in the same power range that offers the highest run time is the DuroMax XP2300iH, with up to 13 hours.
• Run time is a key metric, but it's dependent on the generator's fuel capacity. Therefore, discussing fuel efficiency is necessary to get the full picture. Standing at an estimated 0.11 GPH (gallon per hour) at a 25% load, this inverter generator is somewhat average in this area compared to other devices, within the aforementioned wattage range. If you wish to acquire one of the most gasoline efficient products of this power range, the Westinghouse iGen2800, with a fuel consumption of 0.08 GPH could be in your good books.
