About Duromax XP5500EH Dual Fuel 5500 Watt Electric Start Portable Generator
Overall Feedback:
88% positive
78% appreciated the size and weight
The generator weighs only 100 lbs, making it manageable for one or two people to put into a large truck.
86% were satisfied with the long run time, but 14% weren't
I ran the generator for 6 hours, powering 2 refrigerators and a freezer, and found it to be effective.
I ran the portable generator for 26 hours without any problem when the power was out.
I have been using the generator for about 30 minutes a week to fill water tanks, probably around 20 hours total time.
91% were impressed with the fuel type
I love the fact that it is dual fuel. Propane is more expensive to run but it does not gum up like gasoline.
I chose this model because it is affordable and can run on propane and gas.
I run my portable generator on gasoline but it's good to know I can switch to propane if needed.
The biggest selling point for me was the option to use propane.
96% liked the quiet operation, however, 4% found it too noisy
The generator is a bit noisy, but not as bad as I thought it would be. Compared to other noisy machines like gas lawn mower or power washer, it is actually quieter.
The generator is louder than expected and the website of Duromax provided specific information.
80% found the portability convenient
I ran cables through the wall into a 6-outlet box so that I do not have to run cords through an open window, which shows that I found the portable generator to be portable.
Rephrased: I found the portable generator to be portable as I ran cables through the wall into a 6-outlet box to avoid running cords through an open window.
85% appreciated the power output
I tested the generator by running a refrigerator and box freezer for 30 minutes, indicating its sufficient power output.
When the AC kicks in over the fan, my generator dips quickly and throttles right back up. It runs at 1300 watts on run.
