Description

Zoom on the DuroMax XP16000iHT

In summary, the DuroMax XP16000iHT is a powerful portable inverter generator especially useful for:

  • Professionals in need of safely powering high-intensity work or lighting equipment
  • Homeowners who want to be sure of their ability to power their fridges, cooking tools, heating and lighting equipment during power failures

The subsequent sections will explore in detail its power characteristics, the diverse outlets it provides, its overall portability, and the supplementary features it offers.

Power & Run Time

The DuroMax XP16000iHT in use

The DuroMax XP16000iHT

The DuroMax XP16000iHT delivers 120/240V and benefits from a tri-fuel technology that allows it to run on gasoline, propane, or natural gas. When gasoline-powered, it enjoys a running wattage of 13,000W and a peak wattage of 16,000W. When propane-powered, it benefits from 12,350 rated watts and 15,200 peak watts. Its natural gas operation offers 11,200W of rated wattage and 13,800W of starting wattage. The impressive running wattage makes this unit one of the biggest inverter generators currently on the market. Moreover, the parallel capability (parallel kit not included) allows for increasing of power output when paired with another similar or compatible unit, providing increased energy capacity and reliability for diverse needs.

The inverter generator features a hassle-free and practical electric starter (battery included). It is rated for a noise of 67 dBA (less noisy than a normal conversation). The XP16000iHT can also be remotely started, offering further convenience (key fob included).

With a fuel capacity of 10.6 gallons, the XP16000iHT can operate for around 10.5 hours at 50% load using gasoline (fuel consumption around 1.01 GPH), or for around 3 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 1.57 GPH) using propane.

With a <5% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the XP16000iHT delivers a clean sine wave—essential for safeguarding your delicate electronics when plugged into its AC outlets.

Outlets

The control panel features 6 AC outlets as follows:

Two Duplexes 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI
Two 120/240V 50A (14-50R) receptacles

Portability

With an inverter generator design, the DuroMax XP16000iHT features a closed construction (L38.3 x W30.8 x H34.4 in), enhancing aesthetics and ensuring reduced noise levels, offering a distinct advantage over standard, open frame generators. This type of design is the most modern and convenient way to recreationally generate power.

Although this generator is technically considered 'portable' (in the sense that it can be moved), its 368 lbs make it incredibly difficult to manually lift and transport. However, the lack of maneuverability can be offset with its set of 4 wheels and its folding handle, which allows for convenient shifting once the generator is placed on the ground.

Features

Panel of the DuroMax XP16000iHT

The XP16000iHT's control panel

To help you monitor the XP16000iHT's status and activity, its control panel is equipped with a digital data center, giving you information on the voltage, power output, lifetime run hours and frequency.

In addition to this info, the device's light indicators will illuminate to indicate if the generator is overloaded, the oil level is too low and the generator is ready.

Equipped with a built-in fuel gauge, the inverter generator facilitates swift gas level checks.

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

The XP16000iHT 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.

With the basic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), letting you start the generator quickly, the DuroMax XP16000iHT also comes with several accessories, including: natural gas hose with NPT adapter, propane hose, key fob, oil, funnel, tool kit and battery charger.

The DuroMax XP16000iHT versus other generators

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the DuroMax XP16000iHT compare to multi-fuel generators of similar power (between 10000 and 14000 W).

  • With a weight of 368 lbs, the DuroMax XP16000iHT sits in the heavier end of the spectrum among multi-fuel generators rated from 10000 to 14000 watts. In terms of weight, one of the champions in their power range is the DuroStar DS13000MX, standing at just 209 lbs.
  • At a lowest noise rating of 67 dBA, this inverter generator is one of the quieter devices of similar type and power. If noise emissions are one of your priorities, you may be interested in the Genmax GM17000iETC, one of the least noisy generators similarly powerful as this one, rated for 63 dBA.
  • In terms of run time, the XP16000iHT surpasses similarly powerful multi-fuel devices, boasting one of the higher run times at around 10.5 hours. If run time is one of your main concerns, the WEN TF1450X could be worth looking at. It boasts one of the highest run times among units of comparable power, lasting around 12 hours.
  • While the run time is an important parameter, it is dependent on the fuel tank's capacity and thus, doesn't say much on its own unless we consider fuel consumption as well. At a 50% load, the inverter generator consumes an estimated 1.01 gallons of gasoline per hour, falling within the average consumption range of units with similar output. 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 XP16000iHT is on the expensive side of the price range.

While certainly not the cheapest of its kind, purchasing it would most likely also mean enjoying the reliability of a high-end product.
