Outlets & Essentials:

There is also a feature known as MX2 Power Boost, which increases the 120 Volt power for appliances and RVs. This generator has multiple purposes and can be used for emergency or work purposes. 

The outlets featured on this generator are two 120 Volt common household GFCI outlets, one 120 Volt 30 Ampere twist-lock outlet, one 240 Volt 30 Ampere outlet, and one 240 Volt 50 Ampere outlet.

DuroMax XP10000E can easily manage 8,000 running watts with a surge capacity of 10,000 watts which is sufficient to power all the essential electrical appliances in a household and different tools at the workplace such as saws, drills, or any other electrical-powered construction equipment. 

It has enough power to run a small to medium-sized home. This generator also includes a key-operated electric start system and a 12V battery to pull it up, so hand-cranking is not the only option to start this beast up.

Fuel Tank, Fuel Options, Runtime:

DuroMax XP10000E comes with a massive 8.3 Gallon fuel tank. It can run for around 8 – 10 hours at 50% load capacity and even run for more hours if the load is reduced.

It runs on regular unleaded gasoline and uses 10W-30 1.1 quarts of oil for most operating temperatures and temperatures below zero F; 5w-30 is recommended.

There is also a rod to measure the level in the oil filler cap. This generator also has an impressive fuel economy for its size and power.

DuroMax XP10000E also has a “low oil shutdown” feature, which means that the generator will automatically shut down or will not operate if the oil levels are too low.

Load Capacity For Different Appliances:

DuroMax XP10000E is a powerhouse for a portable generator. It has the power to run all your electronic devices, including refrigerators, freezers, TVs, Air Conditioners, Washing Machines, Hot Water Heaters, Kitchen appliances, sets of lights, fans, PCs, Laptops, and other essential electronics in a power outage situation with ease that fall under the wattage capacity of the generator.

As already mentioned, it can run at 10,000 Watts at starting and then goes to 8,000 Watts in running power with a backup of around 8 – 10 hours at 50% load capacity.

The Duromax 10000-watt generator reviewed is the perfect backup power source for any work environment. This machine can easily run construction tools with ease.

With XP10000E, devices such as Table saws, Air compressors, Bench grinders, Circular saws, Breaker Hammer, Rotary Hammer, Chainsaw, and Portable heaters can be powered up without any hassle.

Portability:

DuroMax XP10000E is a heavy and bulky unit that causes a bit of hindrance in moving around or carrying it with you at different sites. The steel frame protects it from external threats and harsh conditions.

But the availability of a solid wheel kit makes it easier to handle. The generator’s weight is around 228lbs, but this minor flaw is covered by the amount of power this generator provides.

Maintenance & Warranty:

As with fuel-based generators, periodic maintenance must keep the machine running smoothly. DuroMax guides that the engine oil and air cleaner are checked after use.

The first oil should be changed in the first 20 hours or the first month, and the air filter should be cleaned every 50 hours or 3-month usage. DuroMax provides its customers with 3-Year parts and technical service warranties all over the country.

Impact On Environment:

DuroMax XP10000E is both EPA and CARB-compliant across all 50 states, meaning it meets all the standards of an environmentally friendly generator approved by the authorities. And releases less harmful toxins and fumes into the environment due to its proprietary engine.
