Solid backup power for the entire home – Bought the generator to use as backup power for the house as we live remotely. Ironically, not long after the generator arrived we needed it as an electrical storm caused massive outages. The generator ran faultlessly for the entire time. Show reply

Gentrax Generator – Delivered quickly to North Qld. Staff were great & very helpful with my questions as I'm not mechanical at all. Great quiet Generator, easy to start & on wheels. Would highly recommend Gentrax Generators & Outbax Suppliers Show reply
Happily Surprised – Bought the Gentrax after moving out of inner Melbourne to the Hills. After losing power after every bit of wind decided a portable geni was required. Did some on-line research and the Gentrax name kept popping up as a good 'bang for the buck'. Was able to spring for the key & remote start as the wife may have been alone when the power went out.… Read more · 1
Used it myself for a few hours each time but it then got a work out when a colleague further up the hill lost power for weeks and he borrowed the Gentrax. Powered all he needed within the house as long as he kept the fuel going in. :) My last use was just recently, Feb '24, nearly a year since it's last use. Pulled it out of the garage fully expecting to have to do a bit of sting pulling to start it but what'd yer know..! Started on the key first time, with choke and a bit of priming. VERY Surprised, Very happy. Totally happy with the performance and the price. Well done Gentrax.
The best generator I've used! – When started, I had the fridge, freezer, TV, box Air conditioner plus I could charge the phones as well! Show details · 1
Neat little set up - can't wait to try it out on our next camping trip – Five stars given on what is known so far - hope it lives up to our expectations. Neat little unit. Given its weight, the two handles make it easy to carry. Wheels are handy for manoeuvring but I imagine that based on the wheels size, you probably won't be able to drag around on damp grass easily - this unit should not be dragged through the… Read more · 9
sand. As the video shows, the unit was a easy start and not too noisy. We haven't tried to start using remove control yet but this is a very handy feature. In testing, we plugged a electric jug to the unit and presto, boiling water - and we think it was quicker than using our home power. Panel is easy to read. Our unit was purchased to supplement our solar (and our 6 person family) when camping off grid (as our vans rooftop solar wasn't keeping up) and to possibly keep our home fridges running as we have heard rumours that if we have a hot summer, the grid may not keep up and there may be power black outs. We did consider a smaller unit but hand concerns with the fact that these only had one handle and would need to be lifted by only one person. (Footnote: apologies, video not loading at time of writing review, will try to update at later time)
Excellent service and calls always returned – Purchased gentrax 10 and Gentrax6.6kw key and remote start on the way. So far Gentrax10 doing the job and just run in. Good service but freight to NQ too much. Double the other couriers however my purchase was based on customer service which was brilliant. Show details · 1

Excellent value – The generator has been easy to start every time (using choke & primer) as needed. We are running a 1600w air conditioner, sometimes a microwave, and charging batteries & laptops. Over 50hrs of using it whilst camping so far, and no issues. The user manual does not explain remote fob start, but this was worked out with a bit of research. The unit… Read more · 1
is very heavy, and in our opinion a bit noisier than the premium brands. Overall, excellent performance & value.

Top Company – After reading reviews of competitive brands I decided on a Gentrax 3.5kW generator. I ordered it from Outbaxcamping, it arrived within days. However, I couldn't get it to start. On closer inspection I found the spark plug had been broken off sometime during transportation. That's ok, I'll remove the broken bit and buy a replacement, no big deal.… Read more
When I unscrewed the broken part of the spark plug I dropped it down inside the air cooling duct surrounding the engine! I could see that there was no way I would be able to fish it out. Having a loose spark plug rolling around a flywheel didn't seem an ideal situation. Enter Mike from Outbaxcamping, to help sort out my problem....he even e-mailed me on a Sunday! No one does that! Well Mike did, and after consultation with his technician on the Monday he requested I send the generator back. He organised the pick up. Within days it was returned, it started easily and I left it purring away for an hour. Outbaxcamping are the tops, I never thought I would get such service, Mike and his company are one in a million. I hope I can do more business with them in the future. And lastly, the price! Who can beat that value? No one. Thank you Mike and your team.
Great generator, Quality better than expected – The Generator arrived very well packed and I was quite surprised that it came with a small tool kit, funnel for the oil and a protective cover. The instruction manual is reasonable but did contain a few minor errors, the most serious was no instructions in regard to the remote start and stop function, The battery needed to be connected however it… Read more
was not to difficult to work out. On close examination the build quality seemed better than expected.
After filling with oil using supplied funnel and filling with fuel, the generator started on the second pull of the recoil starter. I found that in operation it was quieter than expected, only slightly more noisy than a Yamaha EF2000.
I then tested the generator with some workshop power tools, 1600 watt circular saw, 2200w angle grinder and 1800 Watt docking saw. All started OK. I then connected 1000 watt microwave oven combo with 2400 watt conventional oven, again all OK. It seems that the output rating is about right and the engine size seems to be about right for the rated output. Is it reliable, well only time will tell, but seems to handle everything I have tried it with so far. I believe if you follow the maintenance as published in the manual there should be no reason why it should give years of good service.
The remote start worked very well, once I worked out The battery need to be connected by the end user, this feature however adds considerable weight to the generator and when full of fuel the unit runs out to a net weight of about 45kgs, however 4 large wheels are fitted and rolls along the ground with ease.
In summary the unit appears to be reasonably well built with features you would not expect in a low cost Chinese built generator and appears to operate to specification. The manual could be better written but I have seen a lot worse. At nearly 45 kilograms at full fuel and oil it is not exactly easily portable but the wheels mostly off-set this, If you are lifting in and out of a vehicle or trailer I would recommend a two person lift. This is the only reason I did not give it 5 stars.
I have been pleased with the purchase so far and has done everything I have wanted it to do. The GenTrax produces quality power at fairly low cost and appears to be one of the better quality Chinese made units.
Good generator – Bought this generator from Outbax Camping about a year ago and so far has proven to be easy to start and very reliable. We use it for a couple of hours every couple of weeks and hasn't skipped a beat. The only thing better than the generator was the service from Outbax themselves. Cheers Guys and Girls!
