Description
Zoom on the DuroMax XP7000iHT
In a nutshell, the DuroMax XP7000iHT is a portable inverter generator mostly geared towards:
- RV travellers looking for even more independence
- Occasional participants of outdoor events, competitions, concerts and festivals
- Food truck owners who want to ensure that their business is fully self-contained and does not rely on potentially unreliable external power
- Homeowners who want to be sure of their ability to power their fridges, cooking tools, heating and lighting equipment during power failures
- Professionals in need of safely powering high-intensity work or lighting equipment
The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics, the different outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the extra features it benefits from.
Power & Run Time
The DuroMax XP7000iHT
The DuroMax XP7000iHT 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 5,500W and a peak wattage of 7,000W. Upon using propane, it gains 5,225 rated watts and 6,650 peak watts. Its operation with natural gas provides 4,750W of rated wattage and 6,000W of starting wattage. Additionally, as the generator is parallel capable (parallel kit not included), it can be linked to a second unit for more power.
With a noise rating of 62 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a normal conversation), the inverter generator features a conventional pull-start mechanism, but also a convenient and easy-to-use electric starter (battery included). Moreover, to offer you even more convenience, the XP7000iHT can also be remotely started (key fob included).
As for its running time, the XP7000iHT, along with its 3 gallons fuel capacity, can run for up to 16 hours with a full tank filled with gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.19 GPH). If propane is used, it can operate for up to 13 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.36 GPH).
The XP7000iHT produces a clean sine wave: thanks to a <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), your sensitive electronics can be safely plugged in the AC outlets.
Outlets
The control panel features 3 AC outlets as follows:
With its twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the XP7000iHT is designed to be transfer switch ready, allowing easy connection to your breaker box for powering your home during a blackout.
Portability
Thanks to its closed inverter generator design (L25.1 x W19.4 x H21.4 in), the DuroMax XP7000iHT not only offers superior aesthetics but also operates with reduced noise levels compared to a typical, open frame generator. The featured design follows the latest trends and is ideal for easy and recreational use.
Even though this device may be technically portable (as in movable), manipulation and transportation without special equipment can be a challenge, as it weighs 132 pounds. Despite the restricted maneuverability, its set of 2 wheels (⌀7") and its telescopic handle provides a solution, allowing for convenient shifting once the generator is positioned on the ground.
Features
The XP7000iHT's control panel
Featuring a digital data center on its control panel, the XP7000iHT offers you convenient access to essential information about the fuel level, frequency, power output, voltage and lifetime run hours, facilitating effective monitoring of its activity and status.
In addition to this info, the device’s light indicators will display if the generator is on overload, its oil levels are insufficient and the generator is ready.
Considering security aspects, the generator boasts an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), 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.
Alongside the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) for quick setup, the DuroMax XP7000iHT is bundled with additional accessories: propane hose, tool kit, funnel, natural gas hose with NPT adapter, key fob and battery charger. A running cover is also available, as a separate purchase.
Product Video
The DuroMax XP7000iHT versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the DuroMax XP7000iHT compare to inverter generators of similar power (between 5000 and 6000 W).
- As its weight is 132 pounds, the DuroMax XP7000iHT falls in the expected weight range of the inverters in the 5000-6000 rated wattage category. Regarding dry weight, one of the champions in the same power range is the Pulsar PGX60BiSRCO, with a dry weight of only 93.5 lbs.
- Rated at a lowest possible noise level of 62 dBA, this inverter generator positions itself amongst the more quiet of the products of similar type and power. If you'd like a less noisy alternative, the Honda EU7000iS is a strong contender. It boasts a noise rating of 52 dBA, placing it among the quietest generators in its power category.
- At 25% load, the XP7000iHT boasts a higher run time than most similarly powerful inverters, reaching up to 16 hours. If extended autonomy is what matters most to you, the Champion 201532 could be an excellent choice, offering one of the longest run times among units in its power category, reaching up to 18 hours.
- Run time is a key metric, but it's dependent on the generator's fuel tank capacity. Therefore, discussing fuel efficiency is necessary for a complete understanding. With an estimated gasoline consumption of 0.19 GPH (gallon per hour) at 25% load, this inverter generator is among the most fuel-efficient of the products in the above-mentioned wattage range.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 5000-6000W multi-fuel generators, the DuroMax XP7000iHT 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.
