The subsequent sections will explore in detail its power characteristics, the diverse outlets it provides, its overall portability, and the supplementary features it offers.

Power & Run Time

The Genmax GM3300i

Running on gasoline, the Genmax GM3300i operates with a 145 cc (5.2 hp) Dinking OHV 4-stroke engine, delivering 120V, with a running wattage of 3,000W and a peak wattage of 3,300W. Moreover, since it is parallel capable (parallel kit (opens in a new tab) not included), its power may be doubled if linked to a second compatible unit.

Operating at a noise rating of 62 dBA (just slightly more noisy than background music), this inverter generator starts up with a traditional recoil pull-start mechanism.

Featuring a 1 gallon fuel tank, the GM3300i provides continuous power for up to 6 hours on a full tank (fuel consumption around 0.17 GPH).

The <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of the GM3300i ensures a clean sine wave output, providing a secure power source for your sensitive electronics through its AC outlets.

Outlets

The control panel features 3 AC outlets as follows:

Duplex 120V 20A (5-20R)

120V 30A (TT-30R) receptacle

Furthermore, it showcases 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.

Thanks to its TT-30R receptacle (TT meaning 'Travel Trailer'), this Genmax generator is RV Ready, ready to power your recreational vehicle with ease.

Portability

With its enclosed inverter generator design (L18.9 x W11.4 x H17.3 in), the Genmax GM3300i offers superior aesthetics and operates with minimized noise levels, distinguishing itself from standard, open frame generators. The design follows the contemporary trends and is perfect for recreationally generating power.

Since the GM3300i weighs only 47.4 lbs, it can be labeled as a portable lightweight generator. Moving it around should pose no challenge for a single person, allowing for power availability wherever you go. With its handle (molded in the case), carrying it becomes a breeze, adding to its convenience.

Features

The GM3300i's control panel

Some light indicators allow you to instantly see if the generator is on overload, the oil level is too low and the generator is ready.

From a security standpoint, the product offers an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, 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.

With the basic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), letting you start the generator quickly, the Genmax GM3300i also comes with several accessories, including: tool kit and funnel.

The Genmax GM3300i versus other generators

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Genmax GM3300i compare to inverter generators of similar power (between 2500 and 3500 W).

• When it comes to weight, the Genmax GM3300i tips the scales at just 47.4 pounds, making it one of the lighter inverter generators in the 2500 to 3500 rated wattage range. if you wish to prioritize weight, the Pulsar PGD40iSCO is one of the top contenders in its power category, weighing only 46 pounds.
• The inverter generator can be considered average in its noise for its type and power category, as it is rated at 62 dBA. If noise emissions are one of your priorities, you may be interested in the Honda EU3000iS, one of the least noisy generators similarly powerful as this one, rated for 50 dBA.
• In terms of its autonomy, the GM3300i can operate for up to 6 hours at a 25% load, placing it within the lower bracket among generators of similar type and power range. If you wish to prioritize autonomy, the Champion 200977 shines as one of the top contenders, offering one of the highest run times among generators with similar power output, totaling up to 22 hours.
• While run time matters, it's heavily influenced by the fuel tank's capacity. Hence, it's important to consider fuel efficiency alongside. This inverter generator can be considered as fuel-efficient, due to its low estimated fuel consumption of only 0.17 GPH (gallon per hour) at 25% load, within the aforementioned wattage range. If you wish to further improve in the area of fuel efficiency, the Honda EU3200i, which boasts with a gas consumption of only 0.14 GPH, may be the right generator for you.
