Description
Zoom on the Genmax GM7250iEDC
In a nutshell, the Genmax GM7250iEDC is a portable inverter generator mostly geared towards:
- RV travellers who wish to upgrade their experience to another level
- People occasionally participating in outdoor fairs, festivals or events
- Food truck owners who do not wish to see their business interrupted under any circumstances
- Homeowners who want to be sure of their ability to power their fridges, cooking tools, heating and lighting equipment during power failures
- Tailgating and campground aficionados with the desire of enjoying power anywhere they go
- Professionals in need of safely powering high-intensity work or lighting equipment
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 GM7250iEDC, equipped with dual-fuel technology and delivering 120/240V, ensures both power and versatility. Running on gasoline, it delivers a running wattage of 6,000W and a starting wattage of 7,250W. On propane, it provides 5,500 running watts and 6,500 starting watts. Moreover, since it is parallel capable (GM9000PK parallel cable (opens in a new tab) not included), its power may be increased if linked to a second compatible unit.
The inverter generator is rated for a noise of 63 dBA (just slightly more noisy than an office). Its starting mechanisms include a classic hand-operated recoil starting mechanism and a no-fuss and convenient electric starter (battery included). The GM7250iEDC can also be remotely started, offering further convenience (key fob included).
With a fuel capacity of 3.6 gallons, the GM7250iEDC can operate for up to 10 hours using gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.36 GPH), or for up to 9 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.52 GPH) using propane.
The GM7250iEDC generates a clean sine wave: providing <5% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), delicate electronics can be plugged in its AC outlets safely.
Outlets
The control panel includes the following 3 AC outlets:
Furthermore, it showcases 2 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports (1 x USB-A and 1 x USB-C) enabling convenient charging of devices like mobile phones and tablets.
If your RV requires a 50-amp service, consider this Genmax unit RV-ready, as it includes a 14-50R outlet. In addition, the unit features an ATS plug, which makes it compatible with automatic transfer switches.
Portability
Thanks to its closed inverter generator design (L24.2 x W19.5 x H21.9 in), the Genmax GM7250iEDC not only offers superior aesthetics but also operates with reduced noise levels compared to a typical, open frame generator. This modern design aims to provide an ideal power solution to recreational users.
Since the generator weighs 144.6 lbs, it will be incredibly difficult to manually lift it and transport it, even though it is technically considered to 'be portable' (in the sense that it is movable). Still, once it is on the ground, its set of 2 wheels and its telecospic handle can easily solve the issue of low mobility and allow for easy relocation of the device.
Features
One of the many GM7250iEDC's features is the digital data center, included in its control panel, which conveniently provides information on the voltage, fuel level, power output and lifetime run hours and thus, helps you monitor its activity and status.
As for its security measures, the device features an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), letting you 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 typical documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), which lets you start it right away, the Genmax GM7250iEDC also is packed along with the following accessories: tool kit, propane hose, funnel and key fob.

The Genmax GM7250iEDC versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Genmax GM7250iEDC compare to generators of similar power (between 5500 and 6500 W).
- Regarding weight, the Genmax GM7250iEDC comes in at only 144.6 pounds, positioning itself as one of the lighter options among generators spanning from 5500 to 6500 in rated wattage. If weight is a key factor for your needs, the Champion 201239 is noteworthy for being one of the top contenders in this power range, with a dry weight of 111.6 pounds.
- With noise levels starting from 63 dBA rating, this inverter generator stands out as one of the quieter options among products of similar power. If you value reduced noise levels, the Honda EU7000iS could be worth considering. It's one of the quietest generators in its power range, rated at 52 dBA.
- Regarding its autonomy, the autonomy of the GM7250iEDC, reaching up to 10 hours at a 25% load, can be considered as low end, compared to other products of a roughly equal output. If runtime is a priority for you, the Westinghouse WGen6000 stands out as one of the generators with the longest run time in its power range, providing up to 18 hours of continuous use.
- While the run time is an important parameter, it is dependent on the fuel tank's capacity and thus, doesn't say much on its own unless we consider fuel consumption as well. At a 25% load, the inverter generator consumes an estimated 0.36 gallons of gasoline per hour, falling within the average consumption range of units with similar output. If you wish to acquire one of the most gasoline efficient products of this power range, the DuroMax XP7000iH, with a fuel consumption of 0.19 GPH could be in your good books.
