Description
With its dual-fuel technology, the DuroMax XP10000DX is a powerful and versatile generator that can put out 120/240V. Even though it runs on gasoline, it has a running wattage of 8,500W and a maximum wattage of 10,000W. It runs on propane and has a rated power of 8075 watts and a starting power of 9500 watts. The noise level of the generator is 72 dBA, which is just a little louder than a vacuum cleaner. It has a simple pull-start mechanism and an easy-to-use electric starter (battery included). With a fuel capacity of 8.3 gallons, the XP10000DX can run for about 10.4 hours at 0.5 load on a full tank of gasoline (fuel consumption is approximately 0.8 GPH). With propane, it can last up to 4.3 hours (on a 20 lbs tank – propane consumption around 1.09 GPH). Since the XP10000DX has a THD of about 12%, it is best not to use it to power electronics that are sensitive to noise.
Outlets
There are 7 AC outlets on the control panel: two 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI duplexes, a 120V 30A (L5-30R) receptacle, a 120/240V 30A (L14-30R) receptacle, and a 120/240V 50A (14-50R) receptacle.
This DuroMax generator isn’t quite RV-ready, but it has an L5-30R receptacle that makes it easy to hook it up to an RV with an L5-30P to TT-30R adapter.Also, the XP10000DX has a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, which makes it ready for a transfer switch.It can power your home during a power outage because it is easy to connect to your breaker box.Features
The status and activity of the XP10000DX can be easily checked on the control panel, which has a meter that shows voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours.
In addition to this information, if the oil level is too low, a light on the device will show.A built-in fuel gauge makes it easy and quick to check how much gas is in the generator.For safety, the generator has an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, so you can use it without worrying.The XP10000DX also has the CO Alert carbon monoxide shut-off feature from DuroMax.If CO levels get too high too quickly, the generator will shut down automatically, a red light will come on, and the engine won’t start again for 5 minutes.It’s a nice extra safety measure, but don’t forget to take your generator outside at all times.The DuroMax XP10000DX comes with basic instructions and an owner’s manual to help you get started right away.It also comes with a propane hose, a tool kit, and a funnel.Mobility
The DuroMax XP10000DX is 29 inches long, 30 inches wide, and 26 inches high.
Together with its traditional, open-frame design, they support the generator and allow it to be raised above the ground.The design shown is great for the outdoors and other rough places.Even though the generator is technically considered to “be portable,” it will be very hard to move it by hand because it weighs 220 pounds (in the sense that it is movable).Once it is on the ground, it can still be moved easily with the help of its wheels and folding handle.Product Videos

- We compared more than 500 portable generators at 50% load. We found that there is “skewed right” distribution for the difference between 50% load and 25% load and the median comes at 1.43. With this number we converter all the 25% load runtime to 50% load. Same with the propane efficiency, where median is 1.38.
- For some generators where propane runtime was not given, we used NIST 1994 GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent) formula: 5.66 lbs. of propane = 1 gal of gasoline. All propane runtime is for 20 lbs. propane tank (4.7 gallons).
- Unlike many other sites, we actually tried to find out information about each of the above requirements. However, we are human and are therefore capable of the odd oversight or mistake. Please let us know if you spot any missing or erroneous values so that we can fix them.
