GENMAX Generator，EPA Compliant, Eco-Mode Feature, Ultra Lightweight for Backup Home Use & Camping

*UPDATED 6 Months Later* I am so pleased with this little generator. Since my original review of using this generator for running compressor and power tools, I finally had the opportunity to run it for the purpose I bought it for; running a small air conditioner at my no-power hunting camp. The generator performed exactly as expected, and was able to run the small 5,000 BTU air conditioner as well as some lights and providing me an AC outlet in my hunt camp camper for my phone charger for 6+ hours in 90 degree temperatures on the one gallon of gas. The generator is light enough for me to transport wherever I need it, so I have used it to run power tools on other "in the woods" projects to run my saw and nailer, electric landscaping tools and other plug-in equipment at my hunting stands. My latest experiment involved trying to run the electric systems on my 17" popup camper on this generator. With the 13,500 BTU rooftop air conditioner, as well as the Absorption-type fridge, and the main lights (2x LED banks) the generator was able to run everything. Once the AC ran through its start up cycle (large, temporary draw) and went to steady draw of about 1300 watts to run, I was able to run everything in eco mode, and did not overload the generator. I am incredibly pleased with the output of this generator and the small fuel consumption, small footprint, and relatively quiet operation. I would definitely purchase this again if I had need to replace this unit, or if I had increased power consumption. *ORIGINAL REVIEW* I purchased this generator on a Lightning Deal. It was a little bigger than what I wanted. I needed a small generator to run a 5000 BTU window AC on a camper I use at hunt camp. I was looking at the smaller Genmax generator (1200) but saw this one at basically the same price. This last weekend I had the opportunity to put it through its paces helping a friend build a cabin on a remote property he has. This generator was able to run a compressor (to run a framing nailer) as well as a chop saw for cutting dimensional lumber for framing, and a circular saw for cutting zip board. We even had an extra outlet we used to charge power tool batteries. The generator would struggle just a little bit if the air compressor and the chop saw ran at the same time, but it would catch up quickly and push on through. We ran the generator continuously for 6 hours on the single tank of gas. While its primary purpose will be to run the AC unit, I am now confident that I will be able to also run lights and perhaps even some appliances at the hunt camp trailer. The generator was quiet enough to be able to have a conversation standing next to it without really raising your voice. In fact, it was quieter than either the air compressor or the chop saw when they were running. All in all, I am very happy with its performance over the weekend, and I'm sure it will be more than adequate for what it was originally purchased for.

So far, so good, this generator has everything and more! It works great with the GENMAX12V DC Gasoline Electric Fuel Pump. I went the whole weekend without needing to fill up the tank or machine. I just hooked it up, pumped the bulb, and I had nearly endless power with a 6-gallon marine fuel tank. Using a marine tank makes this hot swappable, or it can be filled while the generator is running safely. I use mine primarily for AC and charging my batteries for my off-grid property in Northern Michigan. The remote start is amazing, no need to run outside and pull-start it to make a pot of coffee in the morning. Just push the remote button and I am ready to go! Noise level is to be expected; it's not distracting, but not the quietest generator out there, but it is plenty quiet. You can easily have a conversation standing right next to it while it is on. I keep mine about 50 feet away from my camper and use a quality extension cord. It has more than enough power to run my AC, and I can also run other appliances along with it. It is never a good idea to get only what you need. I prefer to go much above so I have more to spare, and its easier on the generator and will likely extend its usable life. I broke mine in properly and switched to synthetic oil. It starts without issue and from day one. I can pull-start it when the battery is disconnected (simulated a dead battery). The weight is great and to be expected for a 3800 running, 4500 starting generator. Its a bit tricky to lift up/down to my truck tailgate, but once it's on the ground, the telescoping pull lever does its job. It is so much easier than carrying a 50-plus-pound generator 80 feet from where I park. I have no idea about durability as I have not had it long enough to say. I highly recommend this generator. I expect to get years of life out of it! Genmax has some great products at an affordable price. If you are thinking about it, stop and buy it!

I'm quite happy with this thing especially for its price I've used it twice heavily. The first use was just Running a 850 W Golf cart battery charger For about 6hrs It was surprisingly fuel-efficient And ran perfectly. The second job Was running a small electric snow blower 1800 W 15 amps Exactly the running power this thing is supposed to put out. While it did run the snow blower It was struggling I triggered the overload shut off twice. Granted I was pushing the limits of the snow blower as well doing a massive job in deep heavy snow. The over load warning light blinked a lot but it pushed hard for 2 straight hours. I will also be useing this for Electric weed whackers, chainsaws, and large flood lights. I don't think it will have a problem with any of these however my only real concern now is how long will it last. "Update did not last" My only complaints Is if you pull the string to far forward the friction will actually melt the plastic on the side slightly not a big issue. "Update oil Sensor brick the whole thing" Update 1 1/2 months later. The generator no longer starts it continually tells me low oil regardless of the amount of oil. I am now removing stars. There is no scenario where I should be having to tear this thing apart to fix something as simple as an oil sensor Inside of 40 days This has caused big problems with my home. The directions do not even tell me exactly where the sensor is And the entire thing is encased in 2 layers of plastic so I can't get to anything without tearing apart everything. Nor are there any tutorials and simply unplugging the sensor Did not work either. Also the Provided schematic Has the wrong color codes on the wires. I now have a $300 brick. No customer support Can't find parts. Just s*** out of luck.....Never again

Fácul de desplazar adonde se requiere corriente. Trabaja muy bien, bastante silencioso. Le conecté digerentes aparatos (incl. Compu) Todo bien.
