Zoom on the DuroMax XP28000iHT
In summary, the DuroMax XP28000iHT is a powerful portable inverter generator especially useful for:
- Professionals in need of safely powering high-intensity work or lighting equipment
- Small homeowners in search of a full power backup solution
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 XP28000iHT
The DuroMax XP28000iHT 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 22,000W and a peak wattage of 28,000W. Upon using propane, it gains 20,000 rated watts and 25,000 peak watts. Its operation with natural gas provides 16,000W of rated wattage and 20,000W of starting wattage. The impressive running wattage makes this unit one of the biggest inverter generators currently on the market.
Operating at a noise rating of 70 dBA (just as noisy as a vacuum cleaner), this inverter generator starts up with a hassle-free and practical electric starter (battery included). In addition, the XP28000iHT also supports remote starting, enhancing user convenience (key fob included).
The generator also includes 2-wire start support, enabling automated control by compatible automatic transfer switches (ATS), solar battery systems, or hybrid inverter setups using a low-voltage contact-closure signal.
Regarding its running time, the XP28000iHT, with a 12.7 gallons fuel capacity, can operate for around 9 hours at 50% load with a full tank of gasoline (fuel consumption around 1.41 GPH). When using propane, it can run for around 3.3 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 1.42 GPH).
The XP28000iHT produces a clean sine wave: thanks to a <5% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), your sensitive electronics can be safely plugged in the AC outlets.
Outlets
The control panel includes the following 7 AC outlets:
Furthermore, it has 1 DC outlet: there's a 48-58V 10A output to charge your home backup Li-ion batteries.
The XP28000iHT's twist-lock L14-30R receptacle makes it transfer switch ready, enabling hassle-free connection to your breaker box for powering your home during outages.
Portability
With its enclosed inverter generator design (L39.3 x W31 x H34.5 in), the DuroMax XP28000iHT offers superior aesthetics and operates with minimized noise levels, distinguishing itself from standard, open frame generators. The generator has a contemporary design, convenient for recreationally generating power.
As the generator's weight is 466 pounds, manually moving it or transporting it may be challenging, despite the fact that it is technically considered 'portable' (movable). Still, once it is on the ground, its set of 4 wheels and its folding handle can easily solve the issue of low mobility and allow for easy relocation of the device.
Features
The XP28000iHT's control panel
Enhancing monitoring capabilities, the XP28000iHT features a digital data center within its control panel, furnishing essential details on the lifetime run hours, voltage, frequency and power output for tracking activity and status.
In addition to this info, several light indicators serve to show you when the generator is ready, its oil levels are insufficient and the generator is on overload.
The built-in fuel gauge of the inverter generator ensures simple and quick gas level assessments.
Regarding security, the generator comes with an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), providing peace of mind during operation.
The XP28000iHT 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.
Alongside the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) for quick setup, the DuroMax XP28000iHT is bundled with additional accessories: propane hose, battery charging cables, funnel, tool kit, battery charger, key fob and natural gas hose with NPT adapter.
Product Videos
The DuroMax XP28000iHT versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the DuroMax XP28000iHT compare to generators of similar power (between 14000 and 22000 W).
- At a weight of 466 pounds, the DuroMax XP28000iHT places in the expected weight range of the generators in the 14000-22000 rated wattage range. In terms of weight, one of the champions in their power range is the Pulsar PGD170TiSRCO, standing at just 313 lbs.
- With noise levels starting from 70 dBA rating, this inverter generator stands out as one of the quieter options among products of similar power. If noise level is one your key decisive factors, you may find the Pulsar PGD170TiSRCO appealing. It's rated at 66 dBA, making it one of the quietest generators in its power range.
- Regarding its autonomy, the XP28000iHT can run for around 9 hours at a 50% load, aligning it with the lower performers in its power range. If autonomy is your priority, one of the devices of a similar power output with the highest run time is the Westinghouse WGen20000, reaching around 11 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. The inverter generator utilizes approximately 1.41 GPH of gasoline at a 50% load, placing it within the typical range of fuel consumption seen in products of comparable wattage. If you are concerned with gasoline efficiency, having a fuel consumption of just 0.95 GPH, the Westinghouse WGen14500DFc is a device you could look out for.
