Description
Zoom on the DuroMax XP15000HXT+
To sum up, the DuroMax XP15000HXT+ is a powerful portable generator tailored for:
- Professionals in need of safely powering high-intensity work or lighting equipment
- Homeowners who want to be able to use the most necessary devices in their household, even during a blackout
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 XP15000HXT+
The DuroMax XP15000HXT+ delivers 120/240V and boasts with a tri-fuel technology enabling it to utilize gasoline, propane, or natural gas. When powered by gasoline, it achieves a running wattage of 12,000W and a peak wattage of 15,000W. Upon using propane, it gains 11,400 rated watts and 14,250 peak watts. Its operation with natural gas provides 10,500W of rated wattage and 13,000W of starting wattage.
The generator is rated for a noise of 74 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a vacuum cleaner). Its starting mechanisms include a simple traditional pull-start mechanism and a straightforward and intuitive electric starter (battery included). Additionally, the XP15000HXT+ features remote starting, offering users increased convenience (key fob included).
The Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system enhances the engine's reliability, lowers fuel consumption, improves startup, reduces servicing, boosts stale fuel resistance, and offers better altitude adaptability.
The running time of the XP15000HXT+, with its 8.3 gallons fuel capacity, can reach around 12 hours at 50% load on a full tank of gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.69 GPH). With propane, it can reach around 2.8 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 1.68 GPH).
Thanks to its low <5% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the XP15000HXT+ produces a clean sine wave output, making it safe for your sensitive electronics when utilizing the AC outlets.
Outlets
The control panel provides the upcoming 6 AC outlets:
Portability
At L29.5 x W28 x H26 in, the DuroMax XP15000HXT+ boasts a traditional open frame structure, ensuring stability and allowing for convenient maintenance access to components, promoting air circulation. The device has been designed for tough environments and demanding outdoor use.
Despite its weight of 237 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. Still, once it is on the ground, its wheel kit (⌀13") and its folding handle can easily solve the issue of low mobility and allow for easy relocation of the device.
Features
The XP15000HXT+'s control panel
The XP15000HXT+'s status and activity may be monitored conveniently via the control panel, as it features a convenient meter showing you voltage, frequency and lifetime hours.
In addition to this info, a light indicator on the device will signal if the oil level is too low.
Featuring a built-in fuel gauge, the generator offers quick, convenient, and easy gas level checks at a glance.
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 XP15000HXT+ 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.
Along the basic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), useful for starting the generator right away, the DuroMax XP15000HXT+'s package also includes these accessories: natural gas hose with NPT adapter, battery charger, funnel, tool kit, propane hose, key fob and oil.
The DuroMax XP15000HXT+ versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the DuroMax XP15000HXT+ compare to multi-fuel generators of similar power (between 10000 and 14000 W).
- As far as its dry weight is concerned, the DuroMax XP15000HXT+ weighs just 237 pounds and thus, it is one of the lighter 10000 to 14000 rated wattage multi-fuel generators. If weight matters to you, one of the champions in this power range is the DuroStar DS13000MX with only 209 pounds.
- As its lowest possible noise is rated at 74 dBA, this generator qualifies as one of the more quiet of the products of similar type and power. For those who are looking for a less noisy device, we suggest the DuroMax XP16000iHT. With just 67 dBA, it is one of the most quiet devices in this power range.
- The XP15000HXT+ provides a higher run time than similarly powerful multi-fuel devices, reaching around 12 hours at 50% load. If extended autonomy is what matters most to you, the Predator 13000 could be an excellent choice, offering one of the longest run times among units in its power category, reaching around 12.1 hours.
- The run time is important, but also hugely depends on the capacity of the fuel tank and doesn't mean much if we don't talk about fuel consumption as well. Among generators of similar power, this generator stands out with a better fuel efficiency than most, with consumption rates around 0.69 GPH (gallon per hour) at 50% load. If minimizing fuel usage is one of your key priorities, the WEN TF1450X is one of the most efficient devices with similar power output, with a gasoline consumption of only 0.68 gallons per hour.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 10000-14000W multi-fuel generators, the DuroMax XP15000HXT+ is on the average side of the price range.
Therefore, this generator nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of product.
