Over the following sections, you'll uncover its power characteristics, the selection of outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the supplementary features it includes.

Power & Run Time

The DuroMax XP12000E's core is the 457 cc (18 hp) DuroMax OHV 4-stroke engine with cast iron sleeve, which runs on gasoline. With an output of 120/240V, it provides a running wattage of 9,500W and a peak wattage of 12,000W.

At a noise rating of 74 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a vacuum cleaner), this generator provides the choice between a conventional pull-start mechanism or a hassle-free and practical electric starter (battery included) for starting.

The XP12000E's fuel tank holds 8.3 gallons, ensuring uninterrupted operation for up to 19 hours with a full tank (fuel consumption approximately 0.44 GPH).

Due to the relatively high THD (<12%) of the XP12000E, it is advised against using it for powering sensitive electronic devices.

Outlets

The control panel provides the upcoming 5 AC outlets:

Additionally, it features 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A output allowing you to easily charge your batteries.

For RV owners with a 50-amp service, this DuroMax unit is RV-ready, boasting a 14-50R outlet. In addition, equipped with a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the XP12000E 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 L30 x W30 x H26 in, the classic open frame construction of the DuroMax XP12000E provides stability while enabling convenient maintenance access to components and adequate air cooling. The featured design is ideal for the outdoors and all tough environments.

Though weighing 217 lbs, the generator remains classified as 'portable,' indicating its capability to be moved, though its weight could pose transport challenges. 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

In addition to this info, the generator's light indicator provides visual feedback when its oil levels are insufficient.

The generator allows for a quick, easy and convenient assessment of its gas level, as it is equipped with a built-in fuel gauge.

In terms of security, the generator features an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, ensuring peace of mind during its use.
