Description
The DuroMax XP10000EH is powerful and flexible, thanks to its dual-fuel technology that lets it run on both 120V and 240V. When it is running on gasoline, it has a running wattage of 8,000W and a peak wattage of 10,000W. When run on propane, it has a rated power of 6800 watts and a peak power of 8500 watts. The generator can make up to 72 dBA of noise (A tad noisier than a vacuum cleaner). It has both a traditional pull-start mechanism and an electric starter that is convenient and easy to use (battery included). With a full tank of gasoline, the XP10000EH, which has a fuel capacity of 8.3 gallons, can run for about 10 hours at 0.5 load (fuel consumption is approximately 0.83 GPH). If propane is used, it can run for about 4 hours (on a 20 lbs tank – propane consumption around 1.18 GPH). Due to its high THD (12%), the XP10000EH is not a good choice for powering sensitive electronic devices.
Outlets
The control panel has 5 AC outlets: a duplex 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI outlet, a 120V 30A (L5-30R) outlet, a 120/240V 30A (L14-30R) outlet, and a 120/240V 50A (14-50R) outlet.
It also has 1 DC outlet with a 12V 8A output that makes it easy to charge your batteries.Even though this DuroMax generator isn’t RV Ready, an L5-30P to TT-30R adapter can be used to connect it to a simple RV.Also, the XP10000EH 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 XP10000EH’s control panel has a handy voltmeter that lets you check the power output at any time to keep track of its status and activity.
In addition to this information, the device’s light indicator will show if there isn’t enough oil.The generator has a built-in fuel gauge that makes it quick, easy, and convenient to check how much gas is in the machine.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 DuroMax XP10000EH comes with a propane hose, a tool kit, and a funnel, as well as the usual paperwork and an owner’s manual to get you up and running quickly.You can also buy a storage cover that is made by the company.Mobility
The DuroMax XP10000EH is 29 inches long, 30 inches wide, and 26 inches high.
It has a typical open frame design that makes it stable and allows it to be raised above ground level.The design works well in rough places and for hard outdoor use.Even though this device is technically portable (meaning it can be moved), it weighs 220 pounds and can be hard to move and use without special tools.But its wheels and folding handle make it easier to move once it’s on the floor.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.
