Zoom on the Dewalt DXGNR7000
In a nutshell, the Dewalt DXGNR7000 is a portable generator mostly geared towards:
- Food truck owners who want to ensure that their business is fully self-contained and does not rely on potentially unreliable external power
- Homeowners who want to be able to use the most necessary devices in their household, even during a blackout
- Professionals who want to be able to deliver results, even during a power failure
In the sections ahead, the power characteristics, availability of various outlets, the portability, and any additional features of the device shall be discussed, including its emission compliance information.
Power & Run Time
The Dewalt DXGNR7000
The Dewalt DXGNR7000's core is the 420 cc Dewalt OHV 4-stroke engine, which runs on gasoline. With an output of 120/240V, it provides a running wattage of 7000W and a peak wattage of 8750W.
This generator features a simple traditional pull-start mechanism and also a simple and elegant electric starter (battery included).
With a full tank, the DXGNR7000 can operate for around 11 hours at 50% load (fuel consumption around 0.68 GPH), thanks to its fuel capacity of 7.5 gallons.
Outlets
The control panel includes the following 5 AC outlets:
Due to the featured twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the DXGNR7000 is transfer switch ready: you may connect it to a breaker box to power your household during a power outage.
Portability
The Dewalt DXGNR7000 has the following dimensions: L27.2 x W27.4 x H28.5 in. In combination with its conventional, open frame design, they provide support and allow the generator to be raised above ground level. The device has been designed for tough environments and demanding outdoor use.
While the generator is considered to be technically 'portable' (in the sense that you can move it), manually lifting and transporting it may be challenging, due to its high weight of 192 lbs. Still, once it is on the ground, its wheel kit and its folding handle can easily solve the issue of low mobility and allow for easy relocation of the device.
Features
The DXGNR7000's control panel
One of the many DXGNR7000's features is the data center, included in its control panel, which conveniently provides information on the power output and lifetime run hours and thus, helps you monitor its activity and status.
The fuel level of the generator can be determined quickly, easily, and conveniently with the help of its built-in fuel gauge.
As for its security measures, the device features an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), letting you use it with a peace of mind.
With the basic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), letting you start the generator quickly, the Dewalt DXGNR7000 also comes with several accessories, including: tool kit, battery charger and oil.
Emissions
The Dewalt DXGNR7000 is EPA-approved and CARB-compliant. It can therefore be sold and purchased in all 50 states, including California.
Moreover, it features a spark arrestor, making it usable in forested areas.

The Dewalt DXGNR7000 versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Dewalt DXGNR7000 compare to generators of similar power (between 6500 and 7500 W).
- Having a dry weight of 192 lbs, the Dewalt DXGNR7000 belongs in the expected weight range for generators which produce 6500 to 7500 rated watts. If weight matters to you, one of the champions in this power range is the Sportsman GEN85KIDF with only 133 pounds.
- With a run time of around 11 hours at 50% load, the DXGNR7000 has one of the higher run times, compared to its similarly powerful peers. If autonomy is your priority, one of the devices of a similar power output with the highest run time is the Generac XC6500E, reaching around 14 hours.
- Even though run times are undoubtedly important, they are dependent on the fuel capacity to a large extent. For a more wholesome picture, we must take into consideration the fuel consumption of the generator. Standing at an estimated 0.68 GPH (gallon per hour) at a 50% load, this generator is somewhat average in this area compared to other devices, within the aforementioned wattage range. If you are concerned with gasoline efficiency, having a fuel consumption of just 0.38 GPH, the Lifan ESI 7000iER-EFI is a device you could look out for.
Price comparison
As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other 6500-7500W generators, the Dewalt DXGNR7000 is on the average side of the price range.
Therefore, this generator nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of product.

What is the noise rating of the DXGNR7000?
Due to the lack of standardization in noise emission measurement, Dewalt does not provide their units' noise levels.
what are the engine oil requirements? (Asked September 06, 2020)
Engine oil capacity is 1.06qt. DeWALT recommends the following: SAE 30 above 40°F, 10W-30 between -10 and 40°F, and synthetic 5W-30 for all temperatures. Synthetic oil should not be used for engine break in.

User Reviews
We were hit by Hurricane Ida and loss electricity. My DeWALT 7-kw Generator has been a blessing! I have it running my entire house except for my Central Air Conditioner and my Hot Tub. It has no problem running my 2 temporarily added 6000-BTU window Units. We are living normally and my wife is working, where most of my neighbors are still evacuees, out of town!
I used it once in three years but it performed better than expected.
