What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this generator for its reliability, 10,000-watt power output, and dual-fuel flexibility, with most noting it powers entire homes during extended outages without failure. The dual-fuel system allowing gasoline and propane operation is highly valued for extended runtime, and reviewers consistently highlight the straightforward assembly, intuitive controls, and electric start as major advantages. Build quality is described as robust, with many long-term users reporting years of flawless operation. A few report isolated issues like fuel tank frame fragility, occasional faulty switches, or louder-than-expected operation, but these are far outweighed by strong overall satisfaction and dependable performance.

Three issues

Would Recommend

Just bought the XP 10000HX a few days ago. It went together easily, but I had three issues with it. (1) The push button start does not start the unit. It only stops it. (1) The detailed "start the genset" directions on the chain hanging tag and decal (on the genset frame) miss one step about the on/off choke. That step is only in the manual. When I started, I wondered about choking it. I used the pull cord because the push-button did not work. The unit started, pulsated, and was underpowered unt...

Highly Dependable 10,000 Watt Dual Fuel Duromax

Would Recommend

Bought this amazing generator and used it to run my 3200 sf home for nine years until I upgraded and purchased the 13,000 Watt Tri Fuel Duromax. This generator ran all my appliances, heat pump, deep well pump, hot water heater, several large screen TVs, 7 computer systems, 16 channel security system, and much, much more. Never charged it, and every winter it started right up. Ran continuously during several storm outages. Upgraded to the 13,000 Watt system to support adding a greenhouse and a wo...

Greatful

Would Recommend

It’s the1st year of the 20 I’ve lived in our single wide that we have a generator. We have no other way to heat when the power is out and winters in Maine can be very harsh! I dreaded every storm to the point of being sick to my stomach and hoped to not lose power and freeze. I was finally able to purchase a generator and with a lot of research, I chose the XP10000HX, duel fuel. We recently lost power with temps in the lower teens and I started the generator!! Oh my GOD! It was like we ...

Flawless

Would Recommend

Ordered this bad boy in Nov 23. Never ran it until July 24 hurricane Beryl. No break in period at all. Ran the genny for 110 hrs on propane only shutting off to change propane tanks. Ran everything in my 1300 sq ft house minus the water heater and dryer. I changed the oil at about 60 hrs in and again after power came back. It's now in the shed waiting for the next Centerpointless event.

Great options

Would Recommend

I’m purchased my DuroMax10000 2 years ago for the Florida hurricane seasons. Love the dual fuel system. I connected it to 10 breakers through the garage wall. Even though we are in the middle of the state. We can loose power. Now we are protected against power outages and the ice cream stays frozen.

Just what I needed!

Would Recommend

Replaces a pull start generator - my arms are getting old! Electric start is great! The real plus is being able to use propane but still having the capability of gasoline if needed.

Did work fine, now it won't start

This generator was fairly easy to assemble. At first it started easily. Now the battery is dead, yes I have run the generator on a regular basis, and it will not start using gas. It will start and run on propane. The manufacturer should be able to build a generator that is a little more durable and reliable.

Hard to start

Would Not Recommend

Started fine when new but over the year that I've owned it, it gets harder to start every time. Will not be of much use in a power outage.
