DuroMax XP12000HX 12,000-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator - Gas & Propane, Electric Start, Whole Home Power Backup, Transfer Switch Ready, RV & Emergency Ready

Our electrician recommended this generator brand and he installed indoor/outdoor connections for it. We've been extremely happy with how it operates. We purchased a trickle charger for it and a protective cover. Have only needed to use it a couple times and it powered all the essential things in our household with no problem at all -- well pump, boiler, 2 refrigerators, freezer, lights and internet, plus can handle even more. We have to be at home to move it outside to start it, but for us, it was a good investment and we can take it with us if we ever decide to move. Solid, well made, easy push button self-starting. Couldn't be happier.

Great value. Works great, easy to set up.

This is a GREAT generator, and a great deal during black Friday. We live in a somewhat rural area that gets occasional power outages, but if the main line to our area goes down, we'd be out for days. This gives me piece of mind.Electric start is amazing. Comes right up!As I type this, we're experiencing a planned 8-hour power outage (power company is installing new poles). Plugged this bad boy into the interlock kit port, flipped the interlock and breaker, and we're at full strength. Right now it's running lights, 2 fridges, the hot tub (which I just now realized I didn't turn off!) and all our household electronics. I haven't flipped back on the HVAC yet but I'm pretty sure this beast will handle it.Easy assembly, all tools included. It's loud, but it's not designed as a quiet generator so that's not a ding, just letting y'all know. It's also quite heavy, but the wheels and handles make it pretty easy to move around without too much trouble.Safety note: PLEASE remember to ground your generators!

Assembly instructions with tools and wire plugs for making your own power cables are a really nice addition. It may be some time before I have to use the generator, so I can't attest to performance. There are two metal shipping braces used to protect the engine motor mounts. One of them had lost it's bolt and was in the bottom of the box with accompanying nut. Hopefully this won't cause issues down the road. No noted damage though.

This is the only generator you will ever need..power went out on Wednesday just as the Hurricane started..And stayed out for 6 days..i used mostly gas because it lasted much longer then the propane I used..It ran my whole house including my central air conditioner...But I am going to install a easy -start on the ac unit,To make sure I don't have to have all the ceiling fans off so it doesn't blow the 50 amp breaker..But it ran flawlessly for the whole time I used it..Going to change the oil and put a new spark plug in it..To get ready for the next storm..Thank you .Dura-Max..for making a great product..

The ability to use propane or gasoline make this really flexible. The push button start is holding up well. Get a good cover to protect it from the elements, change the oil when you should and it will get the job done!

I've seen other reviews on here where people say they wish that they could give a product zero stars. Now I know how they feel. We purchased this generator back in late July so that we would be ready for hurricane season (yes, Florida). I put oil in it and checked the battery, but didn't gas it up because I didn't want the fuel sitting in it. I know, I know, I should have cranked it, tested it and broken it in BEFORE I actually needed it. Misplaced confidence vs. negligence. The night before the hurricane was to hit, I fueled it up, turned on the fuel valve, turned on the battery and luckily was hit by the smell of gas before I pressed the start button. After a few minutes of self flagellation, and hurriedly turning off the fuel valve, I noticed that this thing is leaking gas somewhere up behind the carburetor. I can't really see where it's coming from without disassembling pieces parts. I'm not a small engine mechanic, and I don't want to void warranties or screw something up, so I don't want to touch it. Besides, with a brand new $1000+ generator, I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WORK ON IT. Called Duromax. One hour hold, recording then advised me to leave a message and someone would contact me. This was a statement, not an offer of an option. Left message. No contact x 2 days, sent email. Return e-mail several days later informing me that my case was being routed to the appropriate department. No word since. I have more pressing concerns with trying to have my house repaired, so this has been a nagging, very unwelcome side issue I've had to deal with. Given my experiences so far, I would advise anyone reading this review to think twice before going with a Duromax product. I know that there are plenty of good reviews here on their stuff, but I was one of the unlucky ones, and the dangerously defective product + total lack of timely support and no follow up (to date) leave me, to put it mildly, somewhat underwhelmed.

Just got this baby to run my food trailer and she runs great and powers everything I need no problem. I hope I will get plenty years use out this fella. Was easy to get running besides the weight, heavy sucker. Also got a great deal on it. Would recommend it to anyone who needs a big generator with two fuel options.
