DuroMax XP15000HX - 12000/15000W Dual Fuel Generator With Remote Start

In summary, the DuroMax XP15000HX is a powerful portable generator especially useful for professionals who want to be able to deliver results, even during a power failure.

In the forthcoming sections, you'll delve into its power characteristics, the various outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the additional features it boasts.

Power & Run Time

The DuroMax XP15000HX

Featuring dual-fuel technology, the DuroMax XP15000HX provides 120/240V, as well as versatility and power. Running on gasoline, it delivers a running wattage of 12,000W and a peak wattage of 15,000W. Alternatively, when fueled by propane, it offers 11,400 running watts and 14,250 peak watts.

Enjoying a noise rating of 78 dBA (less noisy than a shower), this generator offers the versatility of starting with either a simple traditional pull-start mechanism or a user-friendly and efficient electric starter (battery included). Additionally, the XP15000HX may be remotely started, enhancing user convenience (key fob included).

As for its running time, the XP15000HX, along with its 13.2 gallons fuel capacity, can run for around 12 hours at 50% load with a full tank filled with gasoline (fuel consumption around 1.1 GPH). If propane is used, it can operate for around 2.8 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 1.68 GPH).

As the XP15000HX 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 13 AC outlets as follows:

This DuroMax generator isn't quite RV Ready, but it features an L5-30R receptacle, allowing a simple RV connection through an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor. Besides, as it features a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the XP15000HX is transfer switch ready: in case of a power outage, you will be easily able to connect it to a breaker box and power your household.

Portability

Measuring L36 x W33.2 x H32 in, the classic open frame build of the DuroMax XP15000HX delivers stability and easy maintenance access to components, facilitating air circulation. The generator is designed for outdoor use and demanding environments.

Despite its weight of 345 lbs, the generator is still considered 'portable,' meaning it is movable, although its heftiness may restrict portability in certain environments or require additional considerations for transportation and setup. Nevertheless, the restricted maneuverability is counteracted by its wheel kit (⌀13") and its folding handle, enabling easy shifting once the generator is set in place.

Features

The XP15000HX's control panel

For easy status and activity monitoring of the XP15000HX, its control panel integrates a digital data center, offering insights into the power output, frequency, fuel level, lifetime run hours and voltage.

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

As far as security is concerned, the generator comes with an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, providing peace of mind during use.

The XP15000HX 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.

Apart from the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to facilitate setup, the DuroMax XP15000HX features extra accessories: tool kit, funnel, key fob and propane hose.
