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
Delivering 120/240V, the Genmax GM9000iEDC is enhanced by dual-fuel technology, providing power and versatility. Running on gasoline, it boasts a running wattage of 7,600W and a starting wattage of 9,000W. Alternatively, when propane-powered, it delivers 7,200 running watts and 8,550 starting watts. In addition, the parallel capability (GM9000PK (opens in a new tab) not included) empowers increasing of power output when linked to another similar or compatible unit, ensuring expanded energy capacity and reliability for various applications.
The inverter generator is rated for a noise of 62 dBA (just slightly more noisy than background music). Its starting mechanisms include a simple traditional pull-start mechanism and a hassle-free and practical electric starter (battery included). Moreover, to offer you even more convenience, the GM9000iEDC can also be remotely started (key fob included).
As for its running time, the GM9000iEDC, along with its 6.9 gallons fuel capacity, can run for up to 14.5 hours with a full tank filled with gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.48 GPH). If propane is used, it can operate for up to 7 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.67 GPH).
Thanks to its low <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the GM9000iEDC produces a clean sine wave output, making it safe for your sensitive electronics when utilizing the AC outlets.
Outlets
The control panel features 6 AC outlets as follows:
It also sports 2 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports (USB-A) with which you may charge electronics, for example mobile phones or tablets, conveniently.
Since it boasts a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the GM9000iEDC is engineered to be transfer switch ready, ensuring easy integration with your breaker box to provide backup power to your home during outages.
Portability
With an inverter generator design, the Genmax GM9000iEDC features a closed construction (L30.9 x W22.6 x H29.3 in), enhancing aesthetics and ensuring reduced noise levels, offering a distinct advantage over standard, open frame generators. 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 243.6 lbs. Despite the restricted maneuverability, its set of 2 wheels (⌀7") and its folding handle provides a solution, allowing for convenient shifting once the generator is positioned on the ground.
Features
The GM9000iEDC's control panel
The control panel of the GM9000iEDC includes a digital data center, which assists you in monitoring its status and activity, as it provides information on the power output, frequency, voltage and lifetime run hours.
In addition to this info, the device’s light indicators will display if the oil level is too low, the generator is overloaded and the generator is ready.
Thanks to its built-in fuel gauge, the inverter generator allows you to quickly, conveniently, and easily check the gas level at a glance.
As far as security is concerned, the generator can be used with a peace of mind, as it features an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker).
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 GM9000iEDC also is packed along with the following accessories: key fob, propane hose, funnel and tool kit.

The Genmax GM9000iEDC versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Genmax GM9000iEDC compare to generators of similar power (between 7500 and 8500 W).
- Considering its dry weight of 243.6 pounds, the Genmax GM9000iEDC is one of the heavier generators producing between 7500 and 8500 running watts. If weight matters to you, one of the champions in this power range is the Genmax GM10500XiT with only 123.5 pounds.
- With a lowest noise rating of 62 dBA, the inverter generator is one of the more quiet of the generators of similar power. If you wish to prioritize minimal noise, the DuroMax XP9500iH stands out as one of the quietest options among generators of similar power, with a rating of 61 dBA.
- As for its autonomy, the GM9000iEDC, with an autonomy of up to 14.5 hours at a 25% load, is placed on the low end among the generators of its kind. If runtime is a priority for you, the A-iPower AP10700ED stands out as one of the generators with the longest run time in its power range, providing up to 22.5 hours of continuous use.
- The run time is important, but also hugely depends on the capacity of the fuel tank and doesn't mean much if we don't talk about fuel consumption as well. This inverter generator is rather wasteful, compared to other devices within the aforementioned output range, when it comes to gasoline consumption, as it reaches roughly 0.48 GPH at a 25% load. If you wish to get a unit of similar power, but with one of the best fuel efficiency, you could consider the DuroMax XP9500iH, which has an impressively low fuel consumption of 0.34 GPH.

Trying to understand whether I am going to have an issue running home backup when I don't know whether I need bonded or floating ground. I have read that either will work as long as the house plug (15-50) is not GFCI protected. Can you confirm the 14-50 plug is not GFCI protected? Any other relevant info would be helpful. (Asked July 12, 2022)
Only the 5-20R receptacles are GFCI protected.
