Nice comparison. Either would be a good choice but, for me, I'd probably go with the GenMax. I like the 50 Amp outlet and the ability to run it out of fuel without having to open it up. Thanks!

I have had a harbor freight 3500 a 9000 duromax and now I have the 7250 duromax which seems to be a perfect fit for me. however all of these larger generators have the fuel fill right in the middle of the unit. I find this to be very annoying . and hard to put gas in I think they should put the fill neck close to the side. just saying they should design these tanks so the fill is on the side. thanks for your videos.

Nice review. I bought the GenMax. It's weird the reviews on KZitem have been very good on the GenMax. Not so good on Amazon, which is where I bought it from. We'll see. The eye of hurricane Helene came right over where I live in South Carolina. We are now one week without power. And it looks like it may be another two or more weeks before we get power restored. I need this generator.

I purchased the A I at Costco online for 999. I can run on propane all my 15amp circuits plus my GE 25cu in fridge and my 3 ton Bryant AC (with a microaire soft start kit) I use about 1.2 lbs hr on eco mode, using 3000w while the ac is running. My LRA is 22 amps. Hopefully with Costco legendary return policy this will be a win

Some people had mentioned about Costco's 90 day return policy the 90 days only applies to TVs computers cameras and appliances. You have any problems with it? You don't like it for any reason it's returnable doesn't matter if it's next week or next year.. these are only online so it's not necessary to return it to a store. They will even come and pick it up at any time.. It's on sale again for $9.99 through October 16th..2023. I just received one yesterday fantastic generator for my 41-ft RV with the 240 you can get power on both legs and run dual air conditioners etc. As Gavins video shows. Everybody's hot on these predative 5,000s but when you look at it, Harbor Freight offers a 90 day warranty on it, the 2 years a claim is only on the emissions which is the muffler . And then extended warranty is over $400 for 2 years. That's insane 8:06 8:06

Hey Gavin, I'm looking at the AIPOWER 7600IED for home back up, specifically because it's a floating neutral unit. It only has the 30a 120/240 so I'll have to use an adapter for my 50 amp inlet. The gen max 7250 looks like a nice unit, but it's bonded neutral, but does have that 50amp plug. Would I still be in the same situation for home back up since it's a bonded neutral unit ? Thx again

Bought the AiPower 7100: First one arrived with damaged wheels. Returned it and second one arrived with damaged wheels...pulled wheels and re-bent axles. Ran it for 5 hr break-in, changed oil...had a hurricane, and it ran for all of 5 hours before one of the 120V legs of the 240V dropped. Could not get thru to AiPower because their phone system was soooo bad that it kept disconnecting me when I was in queue waiting. Finally got a call back...tech was *completely* incompetent!!!! He could not understand the issue and then came back to me that his supervisor told him you couldn't run a water heater with this because they were DC not AC...WTF???

Great video, both generators look over rated and couldn't pull their running watt load ratings, which I find unacceptable, because once you add environmental conditions eg. altitude, temperature it will be much worse.
