In the upcoming sections, you'll discover its power characteristics, the array of outlets it presents, its overall portability, and the additional features it possesses.
Power & Run Time
The DuroMax XP10000E is powered by a 439 cc (18 hp) DuroMax OHV 4-stroke engine. It delivers 120/240V, runs on gasoline and offers a running wattage of 8,000W as well as a peak wattage of 10,000W.
The generator is rated for a noise of 72 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a dishwasher). Its starting mechanisms include a traditional recoil pull-start mechanism and a straightforward and intuitive electric starter (battery included).
Equipped with a 8.3 gallons fuel tank, the XP10000E ensures continuous operation for up to 22 hours with a full tank (fuel usage approximately 0.38 gallons per hour).
As the XP10000E exhibits a THD of less than 12%, which is relatively high, it is best avoided for powering sensitive electronic devices.
Outlets
The control panel features the upcoming 5 AC outlets:
Additionally, it features 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A output offering a convenient battery charging option.
If you own an RV with a 50-amp service, you can consider this DuroMax unit as RV-ready, as it features a 14-50R outlet. Its L5-30R receptacle can also be used for a simple RV connection with an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor. In addition, equipped with a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the XP10000E is engineered to be transfer switch ready, enabling simple hookup to your breaker box to provide backup power for your home during blackouts.
Portability
At L29 x W30 x H26 in, the traditional open frame structure of the DuroMax XP10000E ensures stability while facilitating convenient maintenance access to components and promoting air cooling. The featured design is ideal for the outdoors and all tough environments.
Although this generator is technically considered 'portable' (in the sense that it can be moved), its 218 lbs make it incredibly difficult to manually lift and transport. However, the constrained maneuverability is addressed with the assistance of its wheel kit (⌀10") and its folding handle, allowing for easy shifting once the generator is placed on the ground.
Features
The XP10000E's control panel
Included in the control panel of the XP10000E are a handy voltmeter that allows you to easily monitor power output anytime, essential for monitoring its status and activity.
In addition to this info, the device’s light indicator will display if its oil levels are insufficient.
The generator includes a built-in fuel gauge, a quick, easy and convenient method of checking the device’s gas level.
As far as security is concerned, the generator can be used with a peace of mind, as it features an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker).
While the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), helpful for starting the device promptly, come with the DuroMax XP10000E, the following accessories are also included: tool kit and funnel. An official storage cover is also available, as a separate purchase.

The DuroMax XP10000E versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the DuroMax XP10000E compare to generators of similar power (between 7500 and 8500 W).
- With a dry weight of 218 lbs, the DuroMax XP10000E sits comfortably within the expected weight range for devices generating 7500 to 8500 rated watts. if you wish to prioritize weight, the Genmax GM10500XiT is one of the top contenders in its power category, weighing only 123.5 pounds.
- The generator's noise output, rated at 72 dBA, falls within the average range expected for devices in its power range. If noise level is one your key decisive factors, you may find the DuroMax XP9500iH appealing. It's rated at 61 dBA, making it one of the quietest generators in its power range.
- Compared to devices of similar power, the XP10000E stands out with one of the highest run times, lasting up to 22 hours at 25% load.
- Run time is crucial, but it heavily relies on the fuel tank's capacity. Thus, considering fuel efficiency alongside is essential. With an estimated gasoline consumption of 0.38 GPH (gallon per hour) at 25% load, this generator is among the more fuel-efficient of the products in the above-mentioned wattage range. If you wish to further improve in the area of fuel efficiency, the DuroMax XP9500iH, which boasts with a gas consumption of only 0.34 GPH, may be the right generator for you.
Here's a list of the most popular specific comparisons:
