Power & Run Time

The DuroMax XP10000HX

Thanks to its dual-fuel technology, the DuroMax XP10000HX provides a 120/240V output and offers both versatility and power. When utilizing gasoline, it delivers a running wattage of 8,000W and a starting wattage of 10,000W. Alternatively, when operating on propane, it provides 7,600 running watts and 9,500 starting watts.

At a noise rating of 72 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a shower), this generator can be started via a conventional pull-start mechanism, or a hassle-free and practical electric starter (battery included).

In terms of running time, the XP10000HX, equipped with a 8.3 gallons fuel tank, is capable of running continuously for up to 22 hours on a full gasoline tank (with fuel consumption estimated at around 0.83 gallons per hour). When utilizing propane, it provides up to 8.5 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.55 GPH) of operation.

As the XP10000HX has a relatively high THD (<12%), it is not recommended to use it to power sensitive electronic devices.

Outlets

The control panel is equipped with the following 7 AC outlets:

While not classified as 'RV Ready,' this DuroMax generator can still provides the advantage of RV connection via its L5-30R receptacle, ensuring power supply to your RV with an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor. Besides, equipped with a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the XP10000HX is engineered to be transfer switch ready, enabling simple hookup to your breaker box to provide backup power for your home during blackouts.

Portability

Measuring L29 x W30 x H26 in, the classic open frame build of the DuroMax XP10000HX delivers stability and easy maintenance access to components, facilitating air circulation. The device has been designed for tough environments and demanding outdoor use.

With a weight of 228 lbs, the generator is still labeled as 'portable,' denoting its ability to be moved, although its heaviness might restrict easy portability. Nevertheless, the restricted maneuverability is counteracted by its wheel kit (⌀10") and its folding handle, enabling easy shifting once the generator is set in place.

Features

The XP10000HX's control panel

The XP10000HX and its control panel include a convenient meter, showing voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours metrics. This feature comes handy when monitoring its status and activity.

In addition to this info, a light indicator on the device will notify you if the oil level is too low.

The built-in fuel gauge of the generator ensures simple and quick gas level assessments.

As far as security is concerned, the generator can be used with a peace of mind, as it features an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off.

The XP10000HX also benefits from DuroMax’s CO Alert carbon monoxide shutdown. If CO levels become unsafe or rapidly increase, the generator will automatically shut down, an indicator will light red, and the engine will not restart for 5 minutes.

While the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), helpful for starting the device promptly, come with the DuroMax XP10000HX, the following accessories are also included: tool kit, funnel and propane hose.
