Description
The DuroMax XP5250EH’s dual-fuel technology lets it put out 120V and gives it a lot of power and flexibility. If it is powered by gasoline, the device has a running power of 4,200W and a starting power of 5,250W. If it’s powered by propane, it gives 4000 watts at full power and 5000 watts when starting up. The generator has a noise level of 69 dBA, which is quieter than an office. It has a simple pull-start mechanism as well as an easy-to-use electric starter (battery included). With a fuel capacity of 4 gallons, the XP5250EH can run for about 8 hours at 0.5 load on a full tank of gasoline (fuel consumption is approximately 0.5 GPH). With propane, it can last up to about 7 hours (on a 20 lbs tank – propane consumption around 0.67 GPH). Due to its high THD (12%), the XP5250EH is not a good choice for powering sensitive electronic devices.
Outlets
On the control panel, there are 3 AC outlets: a duplex 120V 20A (5-20R) outlet and a 120V 30A (TT-30R) outlet. This DuroMax generator is ready for an RV because it has a TT-30R plug (TT stands for “Travel Trailer”).
Features
The control center of the XP5250EH has a handy meter that shows voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours. This helps you 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 find out how much gas is in it. When it comes to safety, this product has a circuit breaker for overheating and an automatic shut-off for low oil, so you can use it without any worries. The DuroMax XP5250EH comes with standard paperwork and an owner’s manual that will help you get the device up and running quickly. It also comes with a funnel, a propane hose, and a tool kit.
Mobility
The DuroMax XP5250EH is 25 inches long, 22 inches wide, and 22 inches high. It has a typical open frame design that makes it stable and allows it to be raised above ground level. This type of design is great for tough environments and heavy outdoor use. Even though the generator is technically considered to “be portable,” it will be very hard to move it by hand because it weighs 124 pounds (in the sense that it is movable). But its wheel kit and folding handle make it easy to move once it’s on the ground, which makes up for its lack of maneuverability.

- 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.
About the Manufacturer
Small American power equipment manufacturer Duromax is headquartered in Ontario, California. Pumps, engines, pressure washers, and power generators are among the many goods in which Duromax excels. The company’s only concentration in this area is on portable generators, primarily those with small and medium power outputs as well as dual fuel devices. Although construction of Duromax generators is outsourced to other countries, they are designed and serviced in the US. DuroMax, which was established in 2003, has begun to emerge as a significant force in the market for power generators.
