In summary, the DuroMax XP7500X is a portable generator especially useful for:

• Homeowners who want to be able to use the most necessary devices in their household, even during a blackout
• Professionals who want to ensure that a power failure will not prevent them from working

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 XP7500X

The DuroMax XP7500X houses a 274 cc OHV 4-stroke engine, which provides 120/240V, consumes gasoline and delivers a running wattage of 6,500W along with a peak wattage of 7,500W.

With a noise rating of 70 dBA (just as noisy as a shower), the generator features a simple traditional pull-start mechanism, but also a practical and straightforward electric starter (battery included).

Equipped with a 5.3 gallons fuel tank, the XP7500X ensures continuous operation for up to 18 hours with a full tank (fuel usage approximately 0.29 gallons per hour).

As the XP7500X exhibits a THD of less than 12%, which is relatively high, it is best avoided for powering sensitive electronic devices.

Outlets

The control panel features the following 5 AC outlets:

Moreover, it boasts 2 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports (USB-A) with which you may charge electronics, for example mobile phones or tablets, conveniently.

As it features a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the XP7500X is transfer switch ready: in case of a power outage, you will be easily able to connect it to a breaker box and power your household.

Portability

Measuring L27 x W21 x H20 in, the classic open frame build of the DuroMax XP7500X delivers stability and easy maintenance access to components, facilitating air circulation. The device has been designed for tough environments and demanding outdoor use.

Even at 146 lbs, the generator is categorized as 'portable,' suggesting its movability, although its weight impede its portability. Nevertheless, the restricted maneuverability is counteracted by its wheel kit (⌀8") and its folding handle, enabling easy shifting once the generator is set in place.

Features

The XP7500X's control panel

Integrated into the control center of the XP7500X are a convenient meter, offering voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours readings, facilitating the monitoring of its status and activity.

In addition to this info, a light indicator shows you if the oil level is too low.

The inclusion of a built-in fuel gauge in the generator streamlines gas level checks for quick and convenient assessments.

As far as security is concerned, the generator comes with an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, providing peace of mind during use.

The XP7500X 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.

Along the basic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), useful for starting the generator right away, the DuroMax XP7500X's package also includes these accessories: oil and tool kit.
