Description
The 420cc OHV 4-stroke engine of the DuroMax XP10000X runs on gasoline and can put out 120/240V. It has an average power output of 8,500W and a maximum power output of 10,000W. This generator has a noise level of 72 dBA, which is just a little louder than a shower. It can be started with a pull-start mechanism or a simple and elegant electric starter (battery included). With a full tank, the XP10000X can run for about 10.4 hours at 0.5 load if it has 8.3 gallons of fuel (fuel consumption is approximately 0.8 GPH). Since the XP10000X has a THD of about 12%, it is best not to use it to power electronics that are sensitive to noise.
Outlets
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 are all on the control panel. 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. The XP10000X is also ready for a transfer switch because it has a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle. You can connect it to a breaker box to power your home when the power goes out.
Features
The control center of the XP10000X 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. 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 XP10000X 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 XP10000X comes with basic instructions and an owner’s manual to help you start the generator quickly. It also comes with a tool kit and a funnel, among other things.
Mobility
The DuroMax XP10000X has a standard, open frame that is 29 inches long, 30 inches wide, and 26 inches high. This frame gives it support and lets it be lifted off the ground. The device was made to work well in harsh conditions and in the great outdoors. The generator is technically “portable” in the sense that you can move it, but at 220 pounds, it may be hard to move it by hand. 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.
