About DuroMax XP13000EH Dual Fuel Portable Generator
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
85% appreciated the long runtime, but 15% found it limited
I found that the generator has a decent runtime of up to 10 hours or more on a single tank of gas under medium load.
I experienced 10-14 hours of run time per 8 gallon fuel tank and 6-8 hours of propane.
I was told that the 10 hr run time on 8.3 g presumes an idle capability under minimal load. However, customer support states that idle down only occurs under 'heavy load' and we should expect 6-8 hr run time on full tank under both no load or heavy load.
91% appreciated the high power output, but 9% found it insufficient
The generator has reliably powered multiple 2000 to 4000 watt professional power amplifiers.
My generator's wattage and 50amp 240V output are sufficient to power my 1500 sq ft house, including the 2.5 ton AC unit, computers, tv, stereo, refrigerator and every light in the house.
Portable generators don't come in high output voltages, but 4000 is enough for heat, fridge and a couple of lights.
My old 5500 watt generator performed better than this generator.
88% found it easy to transport, but 12% found it bulky
The generator is portable but I need help moving it every time because of the supplied wheels.
88% were satisfied with the quiet operation, but 12% were bothered
Standing about 15 feet away inside the house with the doors closed, the noise level was around 50dba, which was difficult to measure due to the kids yelling.
The generator's noise level is quiet for its size and capability, but it's not completely quiet.
I have experience with sound/recording/volume and the noise level is much louder than what the company claims.
Compared to my newer, quieter generator that's half the size, this generator is noisy.

85% found maintenance straightforward, but 15% faced complications
For the warranty to be valid, I need to change the oil every 20 hours as the generator requires high maintenance.
86% liked the fuel efficiency
My experience with fuel consumption has been different from what I read in a comment. Over the last 5 days, I have averaged only 5-6 gallons of gas in a 12-hour period, even with high nighttime usage, several baths, and temperatures in the 20s. The control board has many options and presets and is easy to use.
I recommend using premium gas without ethanol to avoid fouling up the carb and plugs.
I have bought 15-5 gallon gas cans which should keep me running full blast for 72 hours or more before I need to get to a gas station to start refilling my cans.
The generator is fuel efficient and lasts for about 10 hours on a full tank at half-wattage usage.
