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 able to use the most necessary devices in their household, even during a blackout
- Professionals who want to be able to deliver results, even during a power failure
In the sections ahead, the power characteristics, availability of various outlets, the portability, and any additional features of the device shall be discussed.
Power & Run Time
Thanks to its dual-fuel technology, the Genmax GM7250iEDC delivers 120/240V and offers power and versatility. When gasoline-powered, it benefits from a running wattage of 6,000W and a peak wattage of 7,250W. When propane-powered, it has 5,500 rated watts and 6,500 peak watts. Furthermore, its parallel capability (GM9000PK parallel cable (opens in a new tab) not included) allows power output to increase when connected to another similar or compatible unit, ensuring expanded energy capacity and reliability for various applications.
At a noise rating of 63 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a normal conversation), this inverter generator can be started via a standard recoil pull-rope starting mechanism, or an easy-to-use and reliable electric starter (battery included). Additionally, the GM7250iEDC may be remotely started, enhancing user convenience (key fob included).
As for its running time, the GM7250iEDC, along with its 3.6 gallons fuel capacity, can run for up to 10 hours with a full tank filled with gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.36 GPH). If propane is used, it can operate for up to 9 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.52 GPH).
As the GM7250iEDC produces a clean sine wave, with a <5% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), sensitive electronics may be plugged in the AC outlets safely.
Outlets
The control panel includes the following 3 AC outlets:
Additionally, it offers 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 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
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. This modern design aims to provide an ideal power solution to recreational users.
While the generator is considered to be technically 'portable' (in the sense that you can move it), manually lifting and transporting it may be challenging, due to its high weight of 144.6 lbs. Nevertheless, it can still be moved quite conveniently with the help of its set of 2 wheels and its telescopic handle, once it is placed on the ground.
Features
The GM7250iEDC's control panel
With a digital data center integrated into its control panel, the GM7250iEDC provides real-time insights into the power output, lifetime run hours, voltage and fuel level, enabling easy monitoring of its status and activity.
In terms of security, the generator features an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), ensuring peace of mind during its 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.
In addition to the traditional documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to help you get started promptly, the Genmax GM7250iEDC also includes several accessories: key fob, tool kit, propane hose and funnel.
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 inverter generators of similar power (between 5500 and 6500 W).
- With a dry weight of 144.6 lbs, the Genmax GM7250iEDC falls within the expected weight range for inverter generators in the 5500 to 6500 rated wattage. If weight is your top priority, one of the champions in this power category is the Genmax GM6250iET, weighing just 102.6 pounds.
- This inverter generator has a somewhat average expected noise for its type and power range, rated at 63 dBA. If you'd like a less noisy alternative, the Honda EU7000iS is a strong contender. It boasts a noise rating of 52 dBA, placing it among the quietest generators in its power category.
- As for its runtime, the GM7250iEDC runs for up to 10 hours at a 25% load, placing it towards the low end among comparable inverters. If you wish to prioritize autonomy, the DuroStar DS8000iX shines as one of the top contenders, offering one of the highest run times among generators with similar power output, totaling up to 21.5 hours.
- Though run time is a significant parameter, it's closely tied to the generator's fuel tank size. To get a comprehensive understanding, fuel efficiency must also be taken into account. Compared to similar devices, this inverter generator is less fuel-efficient than most: it burns around 0.36 gallons of gasoline per hour at a 25% load. If you wish to further improve in the area of fuel efficiency, the DuroMax XP7000iHT, which boasts with a gas consumption of only 0.19 GPH, may be the right generator for you.
