Power & Run Time

The DuroMax XP7000iHT

The DuroMax XP7000iHT 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 5,500W and a peak wattage of 7,000W. Upon switching to propane, it benefits from 5,225 rated watts and 6,650 peak watts. Transitioning to natural gas operation provides 4,750W of rated wattage and 6,000W of starting wattage. Furthermore, its parallel capability (parallel kit not included) allows for increasing of power output when connected to another similar or compatible unit, ensuring expanded energy capacity and reliability for various applications.

With a noise rating of 62 dBA (just slightly more noisy than an office), the inverter generator features a conventional pull-start mechanism, but also an intuitive and practical electric starter (battery included). To increase convenience, the XP7000iHT offers remote starting functionality, allowing for easy operation from a distance (key fob included).

In terms of its run time capability, the XP7000iHT, furnished with a 3 gallons fuel tank, can maintain operations for up to 16 hours on a full tank of gasoline (with fuel consumption averaging 0.19 gallons per hour). It also provides up to 13 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.36 GPH) of operation with propane.

Thanks to its low <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the XP7000iHT 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 3 AC outlets:

Since it features a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the XP7000iHT is tailored to be transfer switch ready, making it easy to connect it to your breaker box for home power support during outages.

Portability

As an inverter generator, the DuroMax XP7000iHT showcases a closed design (L25.1 x W19.4 x H21.4 in), enhancing aesthetics and ensuring quieter operation compared to conventional, open frame models. The design follows the contemporary trends and is perfect for recreationally generating power.

Even at 132 lbs, the generator is categorized as 'portable,' suggesting its movability, although its weight may impede its portability. Nonetheless, the limited maneuverability is compensated for by utilizing its set of 2 wheels (⌀7") and its telescopic handle, which facilitates shifting once the generator is set on the ground.

Features

The XP7000iHT's control panel

One of the many XP7000iHT's features is the digital data center, included in its control panel, which conveniently provides information on the lifetime run hours, frequency, voltage, power output and fuel level and thus, helps you monitor its activity and status.

In addition to this info, the generator's light indicators provide visual feedback when the generator is on overload, the generator is ready and the oil level is too low.

Considering security aspects, the generator boasts an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, offering peace of mind throughout operation.

The XP7000iHT 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.

Beyond the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to assist with setup, the DuroMax XP7000iHT ships with supplementary accessories: funnel, battery charger, natural gas hose with NPT adapter, propane hose, tool kit and key fob. A running cover is also available, as a separate purchase.
