7500/6000-Watt Genmax Dual Fuel Portable Inverter with CO Sensor + Remote Electric start / Telescopic Handle

I have a pair of these Genmax GM7500aIED's for our house backup and love them. They are a huge value for the money at their $899 price and especially at the Black Friday 2024 price of $799 I got them for last year. I have a 50 amp connection to our house using a Reliance 50a power inlet, interlock kit, and 50 amp breaker for proper setup. I can run our entire 3,000 sq/ft house off of a single generator easily running 2 full size fridges, a kitchen island drink fridge, use all the LED lights in the house, run 3 LCD TV's, sons PS5, my network rack for internet and 4 AP's, open either garage door, run the 120v 1/2hp septic pump, and balance in an air fryer OR microwave OR coffee maker (not all at once). With a single, I cannot run our 5 ton 2 stage heat pump AC unit, electric water heater, or electric clothes dryer, but, when both are in parallel, I can balance any of those last 3 in. I also have these where I can tie them in via quick connects to our 250 gallon propane tank and they hook directly in since they each need about 11" water column and the pressure regulator is built into the gens. A single generator on propane is 6,000 starting watts and 5,500 running watts so in parallel you have 12kw starting and 11kw running. With my AirGo soft start on the outside unit, it dropped the 153 amp LRA down to 38 amps so the AC can be run ONLY when they are in parallel. OR, I could run the electric clothes dryer which bounces the wattage from 1.5kw up to about 5kw when it's on. OR, I can run the electric water heater with its dual 4,500 watt elements that run one at a time (like most do). You just have to use common sense when trying to run various loads during an outage. I also have my breaker panel set with color coded dots so my family knows what can and cannot be run and made a Word document just in case.

GenMax Technical and Sales team were very helpful in providing guidance to help me size my generator to fit my needs at home. They were also helpful during my installation, answering my questions and that of my electrician, as well as helping with aftermarket parts like the parallel cables. I definitely recommend GenMax!
