Our GenTrax inverter generators have been voted the best in the market for the third-year running in 2020 via Product Review!

The latest designs in the GenTrax line-up of inverter generators were all created with one thing in mind – portability. The result is what are now the most ultra-portable miniature generators GenTrax has made to date. At just 12.5kg, the 1.2kW model is one of the lightest inverteter generators you'll find on the market.

This latest GenTrax 1.2kW is a must have for holiday lovers. Its lightweight and compact build is designed specifically to suit Australian campers who don't have that extra room to spare for camping trips. Continuing their brand excellence in producing silent generators, the latest releases in the line carry the same noise-reduction features that enable the sound level to go down as low as 58db @ 7m - making it a device that works with the silence of a purr but the energy capacity of a lion. Inverter technology gives you Pure Sine Wave output and protects your sensitive equipment like laptops and phones – and yet can even power your portable refrigerators and stoves and lights at the campsite.

Not just for the campers, this machine is also a dream come true for handymen for backup electricity whilst on the job. You can rely on the GenTrax 1.2kW to run your power tools, electronics, lighting and more. Equipped with a digital throttle control, the output of the machine is adjusted according to the requirements you need. An automatic throttle has been designed into the piece and is proven to save fuel and prolong the lifespan of the motor.

This 4-stroke machine comes with an easy recoil start which only takes a single pull to start-up. Considering it's such a small size, one wouldn't expect this generator to be able to carry a 3L fuel tank. But combined with its state-of-the-art fuel-saving technology, this machine can run for up to 6 hours on a single tank! It's that efficient! And it even comes with an economy switch that can be used to cut down fuel usage and further extend your maximum running time.

But why buy from us, you might ask.

GenTrax doesn't simply buy engines from one company and combine with an inverter from another. Their products are engineered from scratch which is why they are able to achieve the results that other manufacturers can't.

With GenTrax Inverter Generators, you can power up a multitude of gadgets while on the road! Keep your food supplies and the food you've gathered to bring back home fresh with your portable refrigerator and still get to cook a warm meal on an electric stove – even when you're in the great outdoors. Power your campsite or cabin for the night and stay safe against the harsh Australian weather, while still enjoying the outdoor climate. With this portable generator, you can spend more time enjoying the great food and the company of your friends and family, rather than scouring around the camp site for supplies and roughing it the entire trip. There's no reason why you shouldn't buy from the most reliable manufacturer, because you'll get your money’s worth and the best experience ever – guaranteed!

The size of generator you need depends on the total wattage draw of the appliance you are running, as well as the max draw. Our generator Buying Guide cuts out the guesswork by explaining what you need to take into consideration. Check out our Generator Buying Guide

Great Little Genny

I bought one of these for the cloudy days whilst off grid camping and solar not so good, it works great, we use it to charge 2 camper trailers with 200AMP/HR batteries each, plus the starlink system for our NRL games whilst in the bush. Just did its first oil change after the run in period, or slightly longer to be fair, using a good quality Penrite small engine oil to give it the best shot at longevity, oil was a bit darker than straw colored but nothing alarming. Be careful taking off the side covers and you wont have a problem here, they are screws designed to hold the covers on, not required to be tightened like they are holding the wing on an Aircraft!! Highly recommend this little unit, goes easily for 6 hours running above setup on ECO setting, starts first, or second pull if you forget to turn the switch on first time :) very happy campers here.

Gentrax 1.2KW Pure Sine Wave Generator

We did a video review of this product on our YouTube channel. Video name is
Gentrax 1.2KW Pure Sine Wave Generator

The Outbax Alternative

Love my new Outbax, performs perfectly, nice touches like the cover and funnel, a fraction of the price of other well known brands, prompt delivery, and half the weight of my other auxiliary battery which I don’t need now. This has increased my off grid capability enormously. Thanks Outbax for a great cost effective product

Thank you for sharing your overall positive experience with the product and for dealing with us, Danny.

Gentrax generator

Used mine a few times and now has a fuel leak from somewhere, while it's running. I need to track this leak down and fix it. Any ideas?

Thank you for the review, Pete. Please contact us via 02 888 10 333 or through email, support@outbax.com.au and our Customer Support Team will be happy to assist you with the fuel leak.

Gentrax 1.2kw generator

Purchased this item 60 days ago, 50hours use so far approx.

Used for camping and charging a 40amp lithium battery charger. It has been great for it's purpose. Runs for at least 4-6 hours underload on a tank of petrol. No trouble so far. Starts first or 2nd pull everytime. Im running semi synthetic 10w30 penrite small engine oil, have changed the oil every 20 hours use, it holds around 300ml of oil.

While underload the decibels are measured directly next to the genie and read 66db.

I would buy this genie again, happy with it's performance and petrol use, it's quite compared to most genies and a lot cheaper than a Honda or Yamaha.

When I'm running larger appliances I run the battery charger from the genie into my 400amp battery solar setup to avoid fast battery drain on overcast days.

Happy with this product, and happy to recommend it.

Thank you for the detailed inspection of the generator and your confidence with it. We hope to see more business from you, Gaz.

What is an inverter generator and why does it matter?

An inverter generator is a type of portable generator that produces electricity in a highly regulated and clean manner by first producing AC (alternating current) electricity, which is then transformed into DC (direct current) power, and then back to AC power with the desired level of voltage and frequency, using inverters. They are known for their fuel efficiency, quieter operation, and clean electrical output, which makes them ideal for powering sensitive electronic devices, such as laptops, smartphones, and medical equipment. They are also typically lighter and more compact than conventional generators, making them easier to transport and store.

What is pure sine wave and why does it matter?

A pure sine wave is a smooth, continuous waveform that oscillates between positive and negative voltage values in a consistently predictable pattern. When it comes to power generating equipment such as inverters and generators, having a pure sine wave output is important because many sensitive electronic devices, such as laptops, TVs, and medical equipment, require clean power to function properly and not be damaged.

What type of oil is best for Gentrax inverter generators?

For Gentrax generators, we recommend using a 10w30 small engine, 4-stroke oil. Here's an example for reference: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/penrite-penrite-small-engine-4-stroke-engine-oil---10w-30-1-litre/346381.html

How often should I inspect my portable generator?

Please refer to this maintenance chart for you portable generator's interval of checking: https://prnt.sc/j_SxV5gYHG9n

Will a portable generator backfeed the power lines?

Backfeeding refers to the tying of a portable generator directly to a household's electrical panel instead of using a transfer switch. This is NOT recommended as it can be dangerous and introduces electrocution hazard.

Can I place my generator inside if I vent the exhaust out to an outdoor area?

No. It's not recommended to use any portable generator indoors. Also, when using a generator outdoors, it should be at least 20 feet away from you.

What accessories are available for my generator?

"The following accessories come with this inverter generator: 1 x Generator Cover 1 x Funnel 1 x Battery Charger Cable 1 x Maintenance Tools"

Should I use a fuel stabilizer?

Fuel stabilisers are used to extend the life of your fuel, keeping it fresh for longer. With the type of fuel used in Gentrax generators, this is no longer needed.

What appliances can this generator power?

This Gentrax generator can power appliances that require up to 1.2kW output for starting and 1kW output for running.

Can I use this generator in a National Park?

Generally, generators below 65dB are allowed in parks as they are considered quiet generators. Our Gentrax units have an average noise level of 58dB at 7m, which is similar to the sound of a low TV volume. However, it's still best to check with the relevant agency managing the national parks that you want to visit in case of additional requirements.
