Price and warranty?

I bought a firman generator a few years back after losing $500 worth meat in my freezer. I hated spending $1,000 on something that would mostly live in my shed. Turns out we lost power about 6 times that year. The best $1,000 I ever spent.

Somewhat similar take on this end. My existing generator was giving me hell and power outages can last days or weeks after big hurricanes. So, I went to stores (that Google said were closed) and found the last one HD had in-stock, just before someone else walked up to it. I didn’t sweat the price because my thinking was that the price jump isn’t any worse than ALL the food we’d lose in the fridge and freezer PLUS keeping the family comfortable. No brainer. Now, I want to see what the details are on this “beast”.

Just a slight correction- The 50amp plug will supply 50amps but only in 120v mode. If you select 240v, the 50amp plug is limited to 35amps without a parallel connection.

Great video. Have you seen the Westinghouse iGen11000DFc inverter? There are no test videos on KZread. I'm looking for a whole house setup and the Westinghouse is about $1k less expensive than Genmax.

My approach is different: I go with the smallest generator that will meet my maximum basic need, anticipating that fuel may be hard to get, and smaller generators typically use less fuel. And they’re going to be quieter. Living in Alaska, I don’t want my pipes to freeze in the winter, so I need to power the circulating pump on the gas boiler. Put food outside, don’t need a fridge. Maybe power a couple of lights. In the summer, I don’t need heat or lights, but do need the fridge. Propane keeps indefinitely, so better than gas, and doesn’t clog up the carburetor, but is less efficient. Easily stored. I agree, don’t use gas in it, except for initial testing, then run it dry, drain the carb bowl, and later run your periodic tests with propane after that. Having a generator can be very useful, but keeping it it’s box until you need it on a cold, dark, windy, wet night without any break-in period or familiarity, or test runs, and without knowing more or less specifically what you really want to accomplish, and not having all the infrastructure in place, may make for a less than desired experience. Having the natural gas option with the tri-fuel setup is ideal. Have a plumber run a gas line for you, using quick disconnects. In all of our power outages over the years, the gas has never been out, so in theory we have an endless supply of fuel. But there’s no guaranty of that, so have plenty of fuel (propane is my suggestion) stored away. And however much you have stored, when the time comes that you need it, you’ll probably wish you had more. And for a long term outage, my fuel will be reserved for cooking and purifying water, not running a generator to power the house, if need be.

I like your philosophy on back up power. If we have lots of rain, I need to power my sump pump to keep the basement from filling up with water. But, I plan to install a battery operated backup pump. That way I can run the generator periodically to recharge the battery. I can rum the genny as needed for heating or cooling and for the fridge. Batteries will do for lighting and again charge those when running the genny for some other reason. This is not as convenient as the automatic whole house systems, but much cheaper to buy and operate, and makes the fuel last longer.

I'm of the same philosophy. I have a small diesel generator sized to carry just critical loads. I also have sensitive electronics and fridges on small ups units. Keeps them running through the change over to the generator and cleans up any voltage or frequency fluctuations from the generator.

@jmackinjersey1

As someone that has tried the "little as possible" method, I'll tell you that that is a fools errand approach. You'll make your generator run harder, longer. I've grown up and lived on the Gulf coast, where hurricanes and major storms come through quite often, which means zero electricity for days and weeks, or even months. Get one that will power your entire house, and then add 10%, something like a 13000. When your smaller generator is running full force, it is drinking as much gas as it possibly can. However, if you are able to hit the low idle switch and the house is still electrified, then your generator is much more efficient, and not sucking as much gas as it is WOT. Also, instead of buying the smaller, refillable bottles that you hook up to the grill, you can always get larger tanks and have the truck swing by and fill it. The fuel in those will last a long time.

@InspiredCraftsman

9 ай бұрын

@jmackinjersey1 are you referring to natural gas/propane or diesel gensets? The diesel units last longer when worked hard. Too much idle time or light loads can cause excessive engine wear. If your needs are 4-7,000 watts, then run a 7,000 watt genset. Why run a 14,000 watt unit? The smaller generator is also a lot more fuel efficient. Without rationing running 5,000 watt load, the kubota gl7000 will burn about 10-12 gallons a day. The gl14000 will burn 15-17 gallons carrying the same load. A 250 gallon fuel tank will get you 2 weeks of power using the gl14000 and over 3 weeks with the gl7000.

I"m actually thinking of buying that one now. I own one from a couple years back that is still like brand new is the predator 8750/7000. I use it on an interlock system in my breaker box and when not in use I use it in the garage to run my mig welder and plasma cutter. This generator works to power my mig and plasma cutter when they throw my breaker on the 110V electrical outlets if used over like 20- 30 seconds.

Hello Haxman XTRA ! Very impressive informative/video. Thanks. I wish I could use the ATS as well but like you I cannot. Your right about the names of these gen’s! LOL. The only one I can figure out is the i for inverter. Your Bonding plug for your floating neutral Gen. Is when you want to use just an extension cord to power something. You plug that Bonding plug into one of your 20amp receptacles and Generator is now Bonded. Remove it when using your Power inlet plug of course. You want it floating. I own a AiPower GSX7100iRD Duel fuel, i as well only use Propane. If I use propane and had gasoline in it, it would automatically switch over to the gas. Very long run time. I also only have/use an Interlock which I love. Mine has recoil/electric start/Remote. It’s about 63db. It has a floating neutral as yours does also. Quality and features are amazing. Everything you have except the 50amp plug and the charging port. I connected a NOCO 2amp Charger/Tender/Maintainer to mine. NOCO makes a great product. 7100 watts divided by 240 volts = 29.58 Amps. Yours is 12000 watts divided by 240volts = 50amp. Mine unit is 6 months old. Check out all the features on mine you will be impressed at just $999 at Costco. Now they have one for $1299 with that charging port you have. AiPower just came out with the AiPower SUA7600iED on Amazon for$1499-$100 coupon $1399. I would have looked into that one as well over mine. It has 500 more watts. Mine runs 2 refrigerators, Boiler and water storage tank, Sump pump, all lights(LED’s), WiFi, Router, TV’s and some small ac window units. It’s sick. It has a drain tube to drain fuel in storage mode if you use gas. I wanted to share my unit to yours for your Fans that do not need 12000 watts. Your unit looks great. Great luck with it and your channel. Everyone give him a thumbs up, heck I’ll take one to please if you like my comments. Please subscribe to HAXMAN’s channel. All the best Haxman, you and family.

Thanks for the testing and video. Seems like false advertising on starting and running watts if you can’t go beyond 30 amps with the 50 amp 240 volt outlet. Perhaps it can do more than 30 amps. You should do another video trying to max out the unit. Thanks again.

The other major consideration is noise; if you care about your neighbours, this might end up driving them nuts as my experience with generators (I own four) is that the Honda and other high end conventional inverters are very quiet even at 10 feet away.

Where are you going to get parts when something breaks? I just had a Duromax inverter in the shop with the propane switch had no power coming to it. Couldn't get parts so Duromax is replacing the unit since it is under warranty. But what happens when it is out of warranty? You need to be able to get parts easily.

Low idle wouldnt it just idle as it should depending on load while set to low idle?

Paint the panels red and it looks awfully familiar. It may be the most powerful inverter genset you can buy but I wonder how long it would last?

How clean does it burn the propane? Could you isolate it with an adaptive exhaust and enclose most of it with noise cancellation insulation? Or would it generate too much heat? Seems like the side panels were plastic.

Does dual or tri fuel really have problems compare to just gas or just propane generator

Btw I have a Westinghouse igen4500 and it has a battery maintainer.

What's the run time on one of these? Have you measured how much propane per hour it takes to run? I'd be interested in knowing that.

When the power is out, so is the power at gas and propane locations, at least in my area. One of the ratings that would be most helpful in choosing a generator/invertor would be fuel usage in pints per hour at 80% or 90% load. Why do they give us usage at 50% load while we are trying to size the gen to our usage? Manufacturers list 50% load but do not tell us at what throttle percentage the unit is operating at. Fuel usage is not proportional to load.

Did you put a soft start on the AC?

I mean, saying the 50amp outlet is only 30 amps unless parallel is just wrong. It's 50 amps in 120v, which is likely to be the most common way it's ran.

DuroMax 13000E, Gasoline, 13,000 Starting Watts, 10,500 running Watts, $1400. Dual Fuel is $100 more.

Wish Honda would make something like this.

These types of videos should come with a disclosure statement. Most people hear the words whole house backup, that is not a 100% true. You were running 4500 watts with the water pump on if you would have kicked In the water heater, you would have tripped the gen breaker. If you would have turned on your stove it would have tripped the gen. Breaker. Even running the microwave at the same time as the ac unit could trip the gen breaker. A 9kw gen running watts is only 37.5 amps at 240v. Most 3ton AC units pull about 24 amps or 6000 watts and the surge amps can be 6 times that. Not trying to down play your video or push people against buying a portable gen, these are great units for a temporary situation.

@@chrisgrob8812 Yea, we have a well pump that runs on 240v. I have a 3500 I purchased before moving to where i am now. 240v is now a factor, oh well.

@gmarch4618 Yep have to go bigger just for that pump. Deep well ? I take it. Mine is only 50ft. I use a 12Vdc pump and solar.

this looks good but for that money i will add a tiny bit more to it and get a diesel.
