Summary
The Genmax GM17000iETC is a 13,500-watt tri-fuel inverter generator that delivers whole-house backup power or heavy-duty worksite capacity. Running on gasoline, propane, or natural gas gives owners real flexibility when traditional fuel sources are unavailable or delayed during extended outages. The 3% THD output keeps laptops, medical devices, and home theater systems safe from power distortion that conventional generators cause.
The Pulsar PGD170TiSRCO is a 14,500-watt tri-fuel inverter generator built for job sites and extended off-grid use. Its gasoline output powers heavy tools, air compressors, and multiple circuits simultaneously. The tri-fuel capability lets users switch between gasoline, propane, or natural gas, extending operational flexibility when one fuel becomes unavailable. The inverter topology keeps total harmonic distortion below 3%, making it safe for laptops, televisions, and sensitive power tools.
