Power & Run Time

The DuroMax XP15000HXT

The DuroMax XP15000HXT delivers 120/240V and features a tri-fuel technology, granting it the capability to utilize gasoline, propane, or natural gas. When utilizing gasoline, it achieves a running wattage of 12,000W and a peak wattage of 15,000W. Upon switching to propane, it benefits from 11,400 rated watts and 14,250 peak watts. Transitioning to natural gas operation provides 10,260W of rated wattage and 12,825W of starting wattage.

Operating with a noise rating of 78 dBA (less noisy than a shower), this generator offers two starting options: a traditional recoil pull-start mechanism and a straightforward and intuitive electric starter (battery included). The XP15000HXT can also be remotely started, offering further convenience (key fob included).

With a fuel capacity of 13.2 gallons, the XP15000HXT can operate for around 12 hours at 50% load using gasoline (fuel consumption around 1.1 GPH), or for around 2.8 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 1.68 GPH) using propane.

As the XP15000HXT has a relatively high THD (<12%), it is not recommended to use it to power sensitive electronic devices.

Outlets

The control panel includes the following 13 AC outlets:

Despite not meeting the 'RV Ready' criteria, this DuroMax generator grants the advantage of simple RV compatibility via its L5-30R receptacle, enabling you to conveniently power your RV by using an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor. Besides, with its twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the XP15000HXT is designed to be transfer switch ready, allowing easy connection to your breaker box for powering your home during a blackout.

Portability

With a size of L36 x W33.2 x H32 in, the DuroMax XP15000HXT features an open frame design, providing stability and simplified maintenance access to components, enhancing air circulation. This type of design is ideal for tough environments and heavy outdoor use.

Despite its weight of 362 lbs, the generator is considered 'portable,' signifying its capability to be moved, albeit its heaviness may hinder easy transport. 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

Featuring a digital data center on its control panel, the XP15000HXT offers you convenient access to essential information about the frequency, fuel level, lifetime run hours, voltage and power output, facilitating effective monitoring of its activity and status.

In addition to this info, the device's light indicator will illuminate to indicate if its oil levels are insufficient.

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.

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.

In addition to the traditional documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to help you get started promptly, the DuroMax XP15000HXT also includes several accessories: propane hose, funnel, tool kit, natural gas hose with NPT adapter and key fob.
