As the Predator 13000 and the DuroMax XP13000HXT do not share the same manufacturer, their overall build and technology in use can vary.
Power Comparison
The following charts are provided to show you at a glance how the main specs of the DuroMax XP13000HXT compare to the Predator 13000.
- Fuel: The 2 portable generators benefit from a tri-fuel technology, which allows them to run either on gasoline, propane or natural gas for maximum convenience and versatility.
- Power: With a running wattage of 10,500 W, the DuroMax XP13000HXT will allow to power more appliances and tools than the 10,000 running watts of the Predator 13000. However, as the 2 generators have the same starting watts (13,000 W), they will both give you the same boost needed to start the motor of your most demanding appliances.
- Runtime: When running at a 50% load, the Predator 13000 enjoys a higher approximate runtime on a full tank than the DuroMax XP13000HXT. It can deliver power for around 12.1 hours, whereas the DuroMax XP13000HXT will be able to power your appliances for around 8.5 hours.
- Fuel Efficiency: With a gasoline consumption at 50% load of 0.98 GPH (gallon per hour), the DuroMax XP13000HXT is less fuel efficient than the Predator 13000 with its 0.88 GPH. The latter will therefore be more economic to run than the former.
- THD: Neither the DuroMax XP13000HXT nor the Predator 13000 has a THD low enough to allow you to safely power your sensitive electronic devices (respectively <12% and <23%).
- Noise: With a noise of 74 dBA, the DuroMax XP13000HXT allows for a quieter operation than the 78.5 dBA of the Predator 13000. The former will therefore be the most suitable for you if you take noise emission seriously.
Portability Comparison
- Bulkiness: As these two products share the same overall bulk, neither of them will really take up less storage space.
- Weight: With a weight of 226 lbs, the 13000 is slightly less heavy than the XP13000HXT (which weighs 240 lbs).
- Portability: Both products benefit from a wheel kit, which greatly enhances their maneuverability. Both offer a folding handle, which improves your grip when you wish to move them around.
Feature Comparison
- Starting System: Both devices can be started either via a pull-start mechanism or an electric starter. Both have the additional ability to be handily remotely started.
- Outlets: The DuroMax XP13000HXT and the Predator 13000 both offer 7 AC outlets. They also both feature GFCI outlets. In addition, it is worth noting that they can both produce either 120 or 240V. For more detailed information regarding all their respective receptacles, refer to the DuroMax XP13000HXT's and the Predator 13000's product pages.
- Data Center & Fuel Gauge: Each of these 2 portable generators is equipped with a data center allowing you to conveniently monitor some aspects of the power output. Besides that, these 2 products are equipped with a fuel gauge allowing to see their fuel level at a glance. For the XP13000HXT, this fuel gauge is digital and part of the data center.
- Technology: They both benefit from a technology that monitors the ambient CO level. For the DuroMax XP13000HXT, it's the CO Alert technology, whereas it's the CO Secure for the Predator 13000.
- Warranty: The DuroMax XP13000HXT benefits from a significantly longer warranty. It is covered for up to 5 years, while the Predator unit is only covered for up to 90 days without purchasing a warranty extension.
