Don't Buy A Generator Until You See This Monster!

Here is the most powerful inverter

generator

currently available on the market. This thing is a

monster

. Let me go over some of the details, if it's the Gen Max tri-fuel gm10500i, etc. I swear these guys had to come up with better names for these

generator

s. How are you? Gasoline 10,500 Starting Watts 8,500 Running Watts Propane 9,500 Starting Watts 8,000 Running Watts Natural Gas 8,400 Starting Watts 6,800 Running Watts This uses an eight millimeter plug the battery cables are already connected to the terminals of the battery, however, it is necessary to connect the battery quick disconnect cables together. Now I have the camera in my hand so I can't connect it, but trust me, these have to go together and on the other side of the generator.

I'm going to slide some cardboard under here in case I make a huge mess with the oil. Speaking of oil, let's go with some fully synthetic 10w30. The generator came with

this

funnel included. Be sure not to screw on the dipstick cap when reinstalling. The Gen Max includes an LPG hose, a natural gas hose, and

this

is the automatic transfer switch wire that I wish I could use but unfortunately can't. Also includes this remote start. This is a natural gas quick connector if you want to do it. Its own cords comes with a 50 amp plug and a 30 amp swivel plug.

This is a great idea that I don't think I've seen before. In fact, it comes with a charger to plug into the battery and keep it on the generator. spark plug socket and screwdriver, it even includes this luxurious generator rain cover as well as a union plug. Alright, let's go over the front panel real quick. Here you have the screen to show you all the information. The main switch. The starting and stopping of the engine. DC Volt Cigarette Lighter Input here you have your fuel source set up storage right now we'll convert it to Gasoline Natural Gas Propane and go back to storage here is your gas inlet for your propane or natural gas however you have a disconnect o quick connection here. you want to call it and you can remove it if you want to use the traditional low idle threads off and on this is your reset circuit breaker for the inverter on the generator you have your 30 amp twist lock outlet remember when I showed you the battery charger above this is where it you connect to make sure your battery always stays charged in your generator.

Okay, there's an LED light here on the top that you can turn off and on only when the generator is running. Here's your 120 and 120 240 volt switch these are the reset breakers for your 120 volt outlets that's where you can obviously plug this in to run them in parallel and that's the reset for the generator there's the circuit breaker here's where you plug in your automatic transfer switch now notices here that there is a 50 amp outlet there. I didn't mention that I will talk about it later, of course, the generator also has a pull cord and an automatic carbon monoxide detection and shutdown function.

Okay with all the details, let's connect this

. and find out if it can power the entire house. I suspect so, but I'll also tell you what makes it so ideal for my situation to make it the perfect backup generator. Well, I would love to have an automatic transfer switch right now. We are set up with a generator entry box and only have one interlock on our outside panel box. Listen. I don't claim to be any kind of electrician, but what I can say is that our generator I originally intended to use to power. the house was a linked neutral and you don't want to have that when you have an interlock and honestly I just discovered this for myself.

Your house already has a linked neutral, so you don't want a double bonded neutral, you know people do that. that all the time and you know I really don't think there's any problem with that. I'm not telling you to do it. I'm just saying that most people don't pay attention to that, so if you do. Using an interlocking kit like me, you don't want a bonded neutral, you want a floating neutral like this generation's Max has. I'm going to go ahead and hook up my propane with the quick connect and look, I'm never going to put a drop of gas in this thing, that's okay because I don't want the gas to sit there and go bad.

I've talked about this on my other channel before, which is why I love that this is tri-fuel even though I'm just going to use propane again. I strongly recommend that you never use gas unless necessary because I won't actually be powering my entire house again. I have explained this in some other videos. I'm feeding my mom's part of our house, which is It's kind of a separate house, all to itself, it's got all the appliances, it's got a three and a half ton air conditioning unit, so what I'm going to do is keep going. Go ahead and turn off the air conditioning before turning on the Turn off the main circuit breaker and turn on the generator.

I have the circuit breakers turned off. Low idle is off. I'm going to switch it to propane. I mean, start the engine right, start, stop, let's go. I'm using the 50 amp outlet with my 50 amp cord because it's convenient and I don't have to use an adapter; However, when you're not using two of these generators in parallel, when you're only using one, that outlet is essentially just a 30 amp outlet, not a 50 amp outlet, very important to remember, okay, let's see, we're getting power, the lights are on, let's turn it on, I should say everything is in the refrigerator, obviously we're not using the stove right now, let's turn on the air conditioning.

I could hear the generator uh pull more once I cut that off and that's blowing cold the camera makes the screen flash but right now there's about a 4500 watt load on the generator but I want to see if I can push it a little else, so I'm going to look for my well pump. to turn it on, I'm just going to turn on this water hose and let it sit here for a while and unfortunately it's taking forever so I'm just going to release some water right here to see if we can speed this up if you've done that.

I saw my other channel. You know, I just replaced this one, that's why it's so efficient. I have to speed it up again. It's hard to see, but it temporarily went up to 4,900 watts. If I had a complaint it would be a bit loud. No I don't have a decibel meter so I can't really tell how loud it is. I'll have to look and see how strongly it says Gen Max. You couldn't stand next to him and talk at a normal volume level and continue. In conversation, I will say that it is definitely not as noisy as a traditional open frame generator.

However, if you want to see the cheapest inverter generator, you can watch this video here and we'll see you next time.
