As the XP15000EH and the XP15000HX are both DuroMax generators, they benefit from the same level of quality and attention to detail.

Power Comparison

The following charts are provided to show you at a glance how the main specs of the DuroMax XP15000EH compare to the DuroMax XP15000HX.

  • Fuel: The 2 portable generators enjoy a dual-fuel technology, which allows them to run either on gasoline or propane, providing additional versatility and convenience.
  • Power: As both the DuroMax XP15000EH and the DuroMax XP15000HX share the same running wattage of 12,000W, they will both allow you to simultaneously power the same appliances. In addition, as the 2 generators have the same starting watts (15,000 W), they will both give you the same boost needed to start the motor of your most demanding appliances.
  • Runtime: When loaded to 25% of their max capacity, the XP15000EH offers a higher runtime on a full tank than the XP15000HX: it can operate for up to 18 hours, whereas the XP15000HX offers a maximum runtime of 17.9 hours.
  • Fuel Efficiency: With a gasoline consumption at 25% load of 0.59 GPH (gallon per hour), the DuroMax XP15000EH is more fuel efficient than the XP15000HX and its 0.74 GPH. The former's operation will therefore cost less in terms of the money spent on gasoline.
  • THD: Neither the DuroMax XP15000EH nor the DuroMax XP15000HX has a THD low enough to allow you to safely power your sensitive electronic devices (both <12%).
  • Noise: With a noise of 78 dBA, the XP15000HX allows for a quieter operation than the 83 dBA of the XP15000EH. 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 345 lbs, the XP15000HX is slightly less heavy than the XP15000EH (which weighs 380 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.
  • Lifting Hook: Thanks to a lifting hook on the top of its frame, the DuroMax XP15000EH offers an easy way to safely load and unload it on the back of a pick-up truck.

Feature Comparison

  • Starting System: While you can get both devices running via a convenient electric starter, the DuroMax XP15000HX is the only one which benefits from an additional conventional pull-start mechanism. The DuroMax XP15000HX offers another layer of convenience, as it can be remotely started.
  • Outlets: With a total of 13 AC outlets, the XP15000HX offers more AC receptacles than the XP15000EH, which has 7 AC outlets. Yet, they 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 XP15000EH's and the XP15000HX'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 XP15000HX, this fuel gauge is digital and part of the data center.
  • Technology: The DuroMax XP15000HX benefits from a welcomed additional security feature: its CO Alert technology monitors carbon monoxide and automatically shuts off the generator if the ambient levels become unsafe.
  • Warranty: The XP15000HX benefits from a longer warranty. It comes with a 5-year warranty, while the XP15000EH is only covered for up to 3 years.
