Ratings & Reviews for DuroMax 8000-Watt Portable Generator

Awesome

It was easy to put together. With the handles, I won't have to worry whether I can move it or not. We are expecting a very bad winter. I am very confident that we will never loose power. Bring it on!!

No brag, just fact.

We have a 20 foot concession trailer, with refrigerator, freezer, dipping cabinet, hot dog roller, etc. This generator handled it all without any problem. Easy to set up, starts right up and just goes to work. We looked at similar generators, but they were in the 2000. dollar and more range. We reccommend this generator to anybody, it just does what it said it would do.

Great unit, Great Price

Great generator especially for the price delivered. Very happy with it, it powers most of my small house. Just in case a storm makes the wrong turn and ends up here, I'm ready now. Recommend this company and generator. Delivered fast.

Lifesaver!

I just purchased this generator. Easy to order. Fast delivery, very helpful. It was just as the add said. I am so happy that I will not have to worry about no power this winter. The past few years have been brutal. My electrician is hooking it up so we are ready for the storms. Great product so far.

very nice unit

Just got my generator about 1 month ago. Shipping was fast and on time. Put it together in about 40 min. it started as soon as i turned the key. It is a very nice compact unit. Nice unit with a 50 amp plug. Cant wait for the power to go out.

Awesome

I have had this generator for over a year now at my deer lease. I use it to power a 40 foot 5th wheel with 2 A/C's and it is awesome. Never gives up even under the toughest loads. Starts up every time without difficulty. Burns a little oil, but not bad. I can't say enough good things about this generator. Would highly recommend.

Derecho Destroyer

If you're wondering whether to buy this generator because it isn't a "G...rac" ... or a "H.n.a" brand -- get over it. This thing is a beast and will give you everything you want for a much more wallet-friendly price. After not running it for nearly a year, I pulled it out after the Derecho storms went through last week. Put in my stabilized gas (I usually run it mostly empty when it's not pressed into full service), pulled the choke, turned the key (did I mention it hadn't been run for a year?) ...

Great for Race Trailer

Great Generator. I use this in my race trailer to power a large Air Conditioner and compressor coffee pot etc. Its heavy and but that's expected for this size power. The pull start is quick and easy and the electric start is a great convince.

A Generating Wonder!

Well, I finally got around to firing up the 10KW DuroMax, so here are my comments. Once I figured out the direction the choke lever worked, and the auto Idle switch, it fired up very quickly. It sat for going on two years, without so much as being moved in the garage, yet the battery had plenty of charge for starting. Once it had run for about 5 minutes, I hooked up a 110v Air Compressor, and it only speeded up the idle. Then I hooked up my wirefeed 240v welder, and the DuroMax...

XP10000E Recommended---GREAT Generator---

Purchased the XP10000E in August and got the pleasure of using the product for a straight 13 days of NO power after Hurricane Sandy crippled the Northeast. Living in Long Island NY, the family was prepared and we had electric in the house thanks to this great product. Fuel consumption was great and unit ran without one single problem. Highly recommended.

Ran like a champ

Bought the duro max xp 10000 after Irene last year and lost power to sandy for 9 days had this baby hard wired to my mane and ran the whole house heat,hot water, lights,everything.Ran for 9-10 hours at a clip. easy to start,Best buy I ever made.

LOVE THIS GENERATOR

This generator got us through Sandy, 7 days without electric. I had the Duromax 4400E for Hurricane Irene, it was perfect but I decided I wanted more. Ordered the 10000E and had it wired into my home, got tired of extension cords in the house. This was a God send. Even my 78 year old Mom can start these generators up thanks to the electric starts. Of course I still have my 4400 as a back up, I wont part with either of them. Feel much safer having our Duromax generators standing by. Our entire ho...

Worth it's weight in Gold

I purchased this generator last year after Hurricane Irine. I had my house panel wired so I could connect the 50 amp connection to it. When Sandy hit in NJ it went into service for 7 days. I was able to run my whole house on it and it never broke a sweat. I recommed this unit and I have had a few friends buy this generator after see it in action. Don't wait for the next nightmare, get one and have it ready. you will not go wrong!

Fantastic!

Finally I get to write a review for this generator. I was a victum of Huricane Sandy located in CT. Upon delivery we were able to set up Ole Blue easily. We gave her a test run and read the directions. Hurricane Sandy was her first call to duty. My husband works for the DPW so wasn't home to help, I was able to move her and start up up with out difficulty. She ran for 5 days before we got power back, I was able to turn her off fill her up with out difficulty. Yes noisy but she a generator so yo...

The most bang you can get for your generator buck.

After Irene and the October nor easter last year I bought one of the bad boys and got it all wired in. Did everything and nore for Sandy. Highly recomended piece of gear. A must have here in the Northeast.

great generator

I bought this unit on Sept. 3, 2011. used it that October when we had an early snow storm in PA when the power went out. The generator ran for 5 days straight without a problem. After hurricane Sandy knocked out the power, the generator ran for 7 days in a row.

dependable like everyone says

After reading tons of reviews across various web sites I kept coming back here to the DuroMax. I bought the XP10KE in July, they were running a sale. I was planning on buying this model anyway, it was just the icing on the cake for me . The only delivery issue I had was that the trucking company called to schedule a date and never mentioned I was responsible for getting the pallet off of a tractor trailer. My 74 father in law went to my house the day of delivery since I was out of town. Thanks t...

Great Generator Great Price

I live in AZ and the weather can be very nasty at times along with the Extreme Heat in the summer. Bought this to power my mobile home when power goes out and other emergencies. I am disabeled, put it together in a couple of hours by myself and was able to move it around with very little effort. I put oil and gas in it forgot to chocke it but it fired right off with the first turn of the key with no misses. I am almost hoping for a power outage so I can use it. LoL

An outstanding generator

mine had to be back ordered but it was shipped when they said it would be. its easy to start with plenty of power. living in hurricane country a dependable generator provides peace of mind.

It is such a great generator!!

Was on back-order when I ordered it. Was shipped when then said it would be. Arrived in one week...not bad from CA to VA! Assembly was guick and easy, even for a woman!! haha Just added oil and stablilized gasoline and it fired up right away with electric start...I guess I should try the recoil just to see how easy that is. I did break in for a few hours with no load...then connectd to my whole house with varying loads. It ran pretty much everything including my central A/C. This is one of the f...
