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
- Occasional participants of outdoor events, competitions, concerts and festivals
- Food van owners who know that just a short power outage could lose them hundreds of dollars
- Homeowners in need of an emergency backup power for their essentials
- Camping and tailgating buffs looking to enhance their experience
- Professionals who want to ensure that a power failure will not prevent them from working
The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics, the different outlets it offers, its overall portability, the extra features it benefits from, and any relevant emission compliance details.
Power & Run Time
With its dual-fuel technology, the powerful and versatile Genmax GM7250iEDC provides an output of 120/240V. While gasoline-powered, it gives a running wattage of 6,000W along with a peak wattage of 7,250W. While propane-powered, it provides 5,500 rated watts and 6,500 starting watts. In addition, the device is parallel capable (GM9000PK parallel cable (opens in a new tab) not included) and thus, can be linked to a similar or compatible unit for added power.
The inverter generator features a conventional pull-start mechanism and also a convenient and easy-to-use electric starter (battery included). It is rated for a noise of 63 dBA (just slightly more noisy than background music). Moreover, to offer you even more convenience, the GM7250iEDC can also be remotely started (key fob included).
The running time of the GM7250iEDC, with its 3.6 gallons fuel capacity, can reach up to 10 hours on a full tank of gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.36 GPH). With propane, it can reach up to 9 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.52 GPH).
Sensitive electronics can be safely plugged in the AC outlets, as the GM7250iEDC produces a clean sine wave, with a <5% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).
Outlets
The control panel provides the upcoming 3 AC outlets:
Additionally, it features 2 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports (1 x USB-A and 1 x USB-C) with which charging of electronics like mobile phones and tablets is made convenient.
If you own an RV with a 50-amp service, you can consider this Genmax unit as RV-ready, as it features a 14-50R outlet. In addition, the unit features an ATS plug, which makes it compatible with automatic transfer switches.
Portability
As the Genmax GM7250iEDC is an inverter generator, its encased design (L24.2 x W19.5 x H21.9 in) offers more aesthetics than a conventional, open frame product. The generator has a contemporary design, convenient for recreationally generating power.
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). Nevertheless, thanks to its set of 2 wheels and its telecospic handle (a decent solution to its lack of maneuverability), the generator can be easily moved, once placed the ground.
Features
The GM7250iEDC's control panel
Monitoring of the GM7250iEDC's status and activity is made possible by a digital data center, which provides information on the power output, lifetime run hours, fuel level and voltage and is one of the features of its control panel.
From a security point of view, the generator is equipped with an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), giving you a 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 GM7250iEDC's package also includes these accessories: tool kit, propane hose, funnel and key fob.
Emissions
The Genmax GM7250iEDC is EPA-approved and CARB-compliant. Thus, selling and purchasing this generator is allowed in each of the 50 states, including California.
Moreover, it features a spark arrestor and therefore, can be used in forested areas.
The unit also meets the ANSI/PGMA G300-2018 safety and performance requirements.
Product Videos
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).
- As for its weight, the Genmax GM7250iEDC weighs only 144.6 pounds, making it one of the lighter generators in the 5500-6500 rated wattage category. In terms of weight, one of the champions in their power range is the Pulsar G65BN, standing at just 126 lbs.
- Since this inverter generator is rated for a lowest possible noise of 63 dBA, it can be considered as one of the more quiet of the products generating similar power. If noise emissions are important to you, one of the least noisy generators of this power range is the Honda EU7000iS with only 52 dBA.
- As far as autonomy is concerned, providing up to 10 hours of runtime with a full tank at a 25% load, the GM7250iEDC falls into the low end in comparison with other devices of a comparable power output. If concerned with autonomy, one of the products of a comparable power output, which offers the highest run time, is the DuroMax XP7500DX, boasting with up to 18 hours.
- 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. This inverter generator has an estimated fuel consumption of roughly 0.36 GPH (gallon per hour) at a 25% load, rendering it somewhat average compared to devices of a similar output. If you wish to acquire one of the most gasoline efficient products of this power range, the DuroMax XP7500DX, with a fuel consumption of 0.29 GPH could be in your good books.
Price comparison
As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other 5500-6500W generators, the Genmax GM7250iEDC is on the average side of the price range.
Therefore, this generator nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of product.
