In terms of safety, the generator can be used without worry because it has an automatic shut-off for low oil and an overload protection (circuit breaker). The XP5500DX 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 XP5500DX 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 XP5500DX has a typical open frame that is 25 inches long, 23 inches wide, and 22 inches high. This gives it support and stability and gives you the option of raising it above ground level. The design shown is great for the outdoors and other rough places. Even though this generator is technically “portable” in the sense that it can be moved, it is very hard to move by hand because it weighs 135 pounds. But its wheels and folding handle make it easier to move once it’s on the floor.

  • 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

DeWalt is a well-known US-based manufacturer of power tools that was established in 1922 by Raymon DeWalt. DeWalt, a current subsidiary of the Stanley Black & Decker company, has 7 manufacturing locations in the US and a wide range of items to choose from, including everything from screwdrivers to portable generators. The portable generator series from DeWalt features open, traditional designs with a range of outputs, some of which are propelled by Honda engines. They are reportedly not all built in the US, unlike many of their tools, and are instead _manufactured under license by Generac_.

Warranty Information

The warranty for the Dewalt DXGN4500 lasts for up to 3 years. This warranty may not cover all parts of the generator or may only cover certain parts. Check out Dewalt’s warranty policies to learn more about the warranty on Dewalt generators. You can also call their customer service line at 1-800-4-DEWALT (800-433-9258).

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.
