Description
Zoom on the Generac XG10000E
In short, the Generac XG10000E is a powerful portable generator adequately designed for professionals who want to be able to deliver results, even during a power failure..
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 Generac XG10000E
The Generac XG10000E's design includes a gasoline-fueled 530 cc (18 hp) Generac OHVI 4-stroke engine. With a 120/240V output, it gives a running wattage of 10,000W and also a peak wattage of 12,500W.
This generator gets running thanks to a hassle-free and practical electric starter (battery included).
The XG10000E's fuel tank holds 10 gallons, ensuring uninterrupted operation for around 10 hours at 50% load with a full tank (fuel consumption approximately 1 GPH).
The XG10000E ensures a clean sine wave output, boasting <5% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) to protect your sensitive electronics when connected to its AC outlets.
Outlets
The control panel features the following 7 AC outlets:
Though it may not be labeled as 'RV Ready,' this Generac generator offers the benefit of hassle-free RV connectivity through its L5-30R receptacle, allowing you to easily power your RV with the assistance of an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor. Besides, due to the featured twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the XG10000E is transfer switch ready: you may connect it to a breaker box to power your household during a power outage.
Portability
Measuring L31.2 x W29.5 x H31.3 in, the Generac XG10000E showcases a classic open frame layout, guaranteeing stability and simple maintenance access to components, while facilitating air circulation. The featured design is ideal for the outdoors and all tough environments.
Despite its weight of 300 lbs, the generator is considered 'portable,' signifying its capability to be moved, albeit its heaviness may hinder easy transport. Nevertheless, thanks to its wheel kit (⌀10") and its folding handle (a decent solution to its lack of maneuverability), the generator can be easily moved, once placed the ground.
Features
The XG10000E's control panel
Designed with a digital data center, the control panel of the XG10000E grants you access to crucial data on the power output (via the PowerBar™) and lifetime run hours, ensuring practical monitoring of its status and activity. To offer you even more control and easy operation during nighttime, the panel is LED-lit.
Thanks to its built-in fuel gauge, the generator allows you to quickly, conveniently, and easily check the gas level at a glance.
As far as security is concerned, the generator can be used with a peace of mind, as it features an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker).
While the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), helpful for starting the device promptly, come with the Generac XG10000E, the following accessories are also included: oil and tool kit.
Product Video
The Generac XG10000E versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Generac XG10000E compare to generators of similar power (between 9500 and 10500 W).
- With a weight of 300 lbs, the Generac XG10000E sits in the heavier end of the spectrum among generators rated from 9500 to 10500 watts. Weight-conscious users may find the Westinghouse WGen9500TFc appealing, as it is one of the top contenders in this power range, weighing just 203.4 pounds.
- Offering around 10 hours of running time on a full tank at 50% load, the XG10000E is within the average autonomy range of similarly powerful generators. If autonomy is your priority, one of the devices of a similar power output with the highest run time is the Powerhorse 13000ES, reaching around 15 hours.
- Run time is crucial, but it heavily relies on the fuel tank's capacity. Thus, considering fuel efficiency alongside is essential. This generator is not fuel-efficient compared to devices of similar output: its estimated fuel consumption stands at 1 GPH at a 50% load. If you're placing a high priority on fuel consumption, the Pulsar G12KBN, with a low fuel consumption rate of 0.67 GPH, could be an option to consider.
The bottom line
- Illuminated control panel
- Several accessories included
- GFCI Outlets
- 4 different AC outlet types
- Electric start
- Clean sine wave
- Decent run time
- No recoil back-up
- No remote start
- On the heavy side (300 lbs)
- Low fuel efficiency
