Solid generator

Would Recommend

Bought this generator several years ago and used it through some long power outages. Has always been reliable. Also has been very handy for operating portable equipment around the property.

Life Saver

Would Recommend

My DuroMax Generator is all that stands with me on those below zero nights here in rural Vermont. I live two miles out on a dirt road where buried power lines are just a dream, so I could not keep my children and pets safe without it. It always starts and powers my whole house. Thank-you DuroMax!

Vermont Tested, Vermont success Duro Max Tough!

Would Recommend

My Duro Max generator is litterly a life saver on those -20 Degree nights in the snow storm and the lights and heat go out. It happens all the time we are out 2 miles on a dirt road and no telling how long the power is out for. We need our Duro Max generator, our animals need it, and it has not let us down yet after 10 years it starts right up and the lights stay on, the heat stays on. We need it no question about it!!

Home back up power

Would Recommend

Lose power a couple times a year, sometimes for a week or longer. Purchased my DuroMax 10,000 in 2021, and have had to use it multiple times. Does a good job powering most everything in my house, lights, well pump, water heater, dryer, refrigerator, & freezer. Not large enough to handle the whole house heat pump, but have been able to run the ductless split in the master bedroom.

Thirteen Years, Going Strong

Would Recommend

A solid, reliable generator. Maintenance is pretty easy. It's definitely loud, but it can power almost an entire house. Mine is thirteen years old and it keeps going no problem.

Long lasting

Would Recommend

I bought this generator more than 11 years ago as my town frequently lost power. I was hoping to get 6 or more useful years out of it before I bought something more permanent but this generator has proven itself a workhorse including one 4 day period during a blizzard in which we lost power. It’s done so well without any replacement parts except for a battery and a fuel cutoff switch, only which needed replacing because of my heavy hands. I ended up building a small shed to house it tucked away ...

unknown serial number

Would Not Recommend

I cannot find a serial number anywhere on this generator. Serial number is required to register for warranty, but nowhere on this generator is a serial number visible.

Bad oil sensor when new, but otherwise good.

Would Recommend

I purchased this generator from an ad on Facebook Marketplace. The seller had unboxed the generator, but never used it. She decided it wasn't big enough for her needs. Unit had never been started, no oil or gas in the crankcase/tank. After following all of the instructions in the owner's manual, I started it up and tested it. Connected to our Motorhome's 50 amp connection and everything worked as expected. After about 10 minutes the generator stopped running. Started right back up, ran fo...
