Description

The all new DuroMax XP13000EH is a dual fuel workhorse powered by a 500cc OHV Engine and runs on gasoline or propane. With 10,500 watts of running power and the ability to surge up to 13,000 watts, this generator can power household essentials such as lights, small and large appliances, and your home's central A/C system. The fully loaded power panel features multiple outlets including 2 120V GFCI protected household outlets. Also on the power panel are individual breakers to prevent overloading and keep everything safe. This unit is both EPA and CARB approved for operation in all 50 states.

Zoom on the DuroMax XP13000EH

In a nutshell, the DuroMax XP13000EH is a powerful portable generator mostly geared towards professionals in need of safely powering high-intensity work or lighting equipment.

In the following paragraphs, we shall explore the power characteristics, available outlets, portability, and any additional features of the device.

Power & Run Time

The DuroMax XP13000EH in use

The DuroMax XP13000EH

Thanks to its dual-fuel technology, the DuroMax XP13000EH provides a 120/240V output and offers both versatility and power. When utilizing gasoline, it delivers a running wattage of 10,500W and a starting wattage of 13,000W. Alternatively, when operating on propane, it provides 9,975 running watts and 12,350 starting watts.

With a noise rating of 74 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a dishwasher), the generator features a classic hand-operated recoil starting mechanism, but also an easy-to-use and reliable electric starter (battery included).

The running time of the XP13000EH, with its 8.3 gallons fuel capacity, can reach around 8 hours at 50% load on a full tank of gasoline (fuel consumption around 1.04 GPH). With propane, it can reach around 3 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 1.57 GPH).

Considering its relatively high Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) of less than 12%, it is not recommended to rely on the XP13000EH for powering sensitive electronic devices.

Outlets

The control panel features the following 5 AC outlets:

Duplex 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI
120V 30A (L5-30R) receptacle
120/240V 30A (L14-30R) receptacle
120/240V 50A (14-50R) receptacle

Moreover, it boasts 1 DC outlet: there's a 5V USB port enabling convenient charging of devices like mobile phones and tablets.

Even if this DuroMax generator isn't quite RV Ready, it still allows for an easy RV connection via an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor, thanks to its L5-30R receptacle. Besides, due to the featured twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the XP13000EH is transfer switch ready: you may connect it to a breaker box to power your household during a power outage.

Portability

At L29 x W30 x H26 in, the standard open frame design of the DuroMax XP13000EH delivers stability alongside easy maintenance access to components and good air cooling. The featured design is ideal for the outdoors and all tough environments.

While technically classified as 'portable' due to its ability to be moved, the 234 lbs of this generator make manual lifting and transportation incredibly difficult. However, its challenging mobility is solved by its wheel kit and its folding handle, which will ease its displacement, once it is on the floor.

Features

Panel of the DuroMax XP13000EH

The XP13000EH's control panel

The XP13000EH's status and activity may be monitored conveniently via the control panel, as it features a convenient meter, offering voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours readings.

In addition to this info, when the oil level is too low, you will be informed by the featured light indicator.

The inclusion of a built-in fuel gauge in the generator streamlines gas level checks for quick and convenient assessments.

From a security point of view, the generator is equipped with an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, giving you a peace of mind during use.

Alongside the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) for quick setup, the DuroMax XP13000EH is bundled with additional accessories: funnel, battery charging cables, tool kit and propane hose. An official storage cover is also available, as a separate purchase.

Product Videos

The DuroMax XP13000EH versus other generators

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the DuroMax XP13000EH compare to generators of similar power (between 10000 and 11000 W).

  • When it comes to weight, the DuroMax XP13000EH tips the scales at just 234 pounds, making it one of the lighter generators in the 10000 to 11000 rated wattage range. If weight matters to you, one of the champions in this power range is the DuroStar DS13000MX with only 209 pounds.
  • As this generator can emit noise as low as 74 dBA, it finds itself in the average expected noise for this kind of power. If you wish to prioritize minimal noise, the A-iPower SUA13000EFI stands out as one of the quietest options among generators of similar power, with a rating of 69 dBA.
  • As for its autonomy, the XP13000EH, with an autonomy of around 8 hours at a 50% load, is placed on the low end among the generators of its kind. Furthermore, considering the run times, one of the generators which have a roughly same power output, with the highest autonomy, is the Powerhorse 13000ES, as it provides around 15 hours.
  • Run time is a key metric, but it's dependent on the generator's fuel tank capacity. Therefore, discussing fuel efficiency is necessary for a complete understanding. Compared to similar devices, this generator is less fuel-efficient than most: it burns around 1.04 gallons of gasoline per hour at a 50% load. If you wish to get a unit of similar power, but with one of the best fuel efficiency, you could consider the A-iPower SUA13000EFI, which has an impressively low fuel consumption of 0.78 GPH.

Price comparison

As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 10000-11000W generators, the DuroMax XP13000EH is on the average side of the price range.

Therefore, this generator nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of product.
