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 GM6250iET 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 5,500W and a peak wattage of 6,250W. Switching to propane provides 5,000 rated watts and 5,500 peak watts, while natural gas operation delivers 4,500W of rated wattage and 5,000W of starting wattage. In addition, as it is parallel capable (parallel kit not included), this power can be increased when linked to another similar or compatible unit.
Featuring a noise rating of 66 dBA (less noisy than an office), the inverter generator is equipped with both a conventional pull-start mechanism and a user-friendly and efficient electric starter (battery included) for starting. To add further convenience, the GM6250iET can be remotely started (key fob included).
The generator also supports 2-wire start, enabling integration with compatible automatic transfer switches (ATS), solar battery systems, or hybrid inverter setups via a low-voltage contact-closure control circuit.
Regarding its running time, the GM6250iET, with a 3 gallons fuel tank, can operate for up to 10 hours with a full gasoline tank (with fuel consumption estimated at around 0.3 gallons per hour). It also offers up to 11 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.43 GPH) of operation when using propane.
With a <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the GM6250iET delivers a clean sine wave, essential for safeguarding your delicate electronics when plugged into its AC outlets.
Outlets
The control panel is equipped with the following 4 AC outlets:
Moreover, it presents 2 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports (1 x USB-A and 1 x USB-C) ensuring convenient charging of devices like mobile phones and tablets, for connectivity on the go.
For RV owners with a 50-amp service, this Genmax unit is RV-ready, boasting a 14-50R outlet.
Portability
With an inverter generator design, the Genmax GM6250iET features a closed construction (L22.8 x W17.8 x H19.7 in), enhancing aesthetics and ensuring reduced noise levels, offering a distinct advantage over standard, open frame generators. This type of design is the most modern and convenient way to recreationally generate power.
With a dry weight of 102.6 lbs, the GM6250iET can easily follow you wherever your power needs are. Moreover, its set of 2 wheels and its telescopic handle make it easy to shift the generator once it's on the ground.
Features
The GM6250iET's control panel
To help you monitor the GM6250iET's status and activity, its control panel is equipped with a digital data center, giving you information on the lifetime run hours, voltage, frequency, fuel level and power output.
In addition to this info, light indicators on the device will signal if the generator is ready, the oil level is too low and the generator is on overload.
As far as security is concerned, the generator comes with an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, providing peace of mind during use.
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.
Along the basic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), useful for starting the generator right away, the Genmax GM6250iET's package also includes these accessories: funnel, cover, key fob, tool kit and battery charger.
Genmax App
The app allows remote monitoring
Genmax’s app lets you pair your smartphone with your GM6250iET 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 GM6250iET.
Product Video
The Genmax GM6250iET versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Genmax GM6250iET compare to inverter generators of similar power (between 5000 and 6000 W).
- As for its weight, the Genmax GM6250iET weighs only 102.6 pounds, making it one of the lighter inverter generators in the 5000-6000 rated wattage category. Weight-conscious users may find the Pulsar PGX60BiSRCO appealing, as it is one of the top contenders in this power range, weighing just 93.5 pounds.
- At 66 dBA, this inverter generator's noise rating is in line with the expected average for devices within its type and power category. If you’d prefer a less noisy device, one of the most quiet devices, which share the same power range with this one, is the Honda EU7000iS, whose lowest noise levels reach just 52 dBA.
- Regarding its autonomy, the GM6250iET can run for up to 10 hours at a 25% load, aligning it with the lower performers in its type and power range. If prolonged run time is essential to your needs, you could consider the Champion 201532, which offers one of the highest autonomy among devices with similar power output, lasting up to 18 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. The inverter generator burns fuel at a rate of around 0.3 GPH when running at a 25% load, which is consistent with the average fuel usage of models of comparable power output. If minimizing fuel usage is one of your key priorities, the DuroMax XP7000iHT is one of the most efficient devices with similar power output, with a gasoline consumption of only 0.19 gallons per hour.
