Power Comparison
The following charts are provided to show you at a glance how the main specs of the DuroMax XP12000EH compare to the DuroMax XP10000EH.
- 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: With a running wattage of 9,500 W, the DuroMax XP12000EH will allow to power more appliances and tools than the 8,000 running watts of the DuroMax XP10000EH. Moreover, compared to the 10,000 starting watts of the XP10000EH, the XP12000EH and its starting wattage of 12,000 W will give more power to start the appliances which require an additional boost to get their motor running.
- Runtime: When loaded to 25% of their max capacity, the XP10000EH offers a higher runtime on a full tank than the XP12000EH: it can operate for up to 22 hours, whereas the XP12000EH offers a maximum runtime of 19 hours.
- Fuel Efficiency: With a gasoline consumption at 25% load of 0.38 GPH (gallon per hour), the XP10000EH is more fuel efficient than the DuroMax XP12000EH and its 0.44 GPH. The former's operation will therefore cost less in terms of the money spent on gasoline.
- THD: Neither the DuroMax XP12000EH nor the DuroMax XP10000EH has a THD low enough to allow you to safely power your sensitive electronic devices (both <12%).
- Noise: With 72 dBA, the noise emitted by the XP10000EH is slightly lower than the 74 dBA of the XP12000EH. While this difference could seem insignificant, the former should still be easier on your ears.
