Genmax GM9000iET Tri-Fuel Inverter Generator vs DuroMax XP17500HX Generator
The DuroMax XP17500HX is the bigger, tougher machine: a 600cc engine, 13,750 running watts on gas, two 50-amp outlets and a five-year warranty make it the pick for whole-home backup through a transfer switch. The Genmax GM9000iET trades raw output for flexibility and clean power: it runs on natural gas as well as propane and gasoline, holds THD under 3% for sensitive electronics, and weighs about half as much at 138 lb. Owners of big open-frame units like the DuroMax praise the surge capacity but warn about the weight and the noise; the Genmax suits RV, job-site and light backup duty where a third fuel option and portability matter more than maximum watts.
- Choose the Genmax if you want a lighter, more portable generator that can also run on natural gas and delivers clean power for electronics.
- Choose the DuroMax if you need whole-home backup watts, two 50-amp outlets for a transfer switch, and the longest warranty.
