I have this generator. Runs fine, but the output is so dirty the refrigerator refuses to run off it, and both UPSes (different brands) refuse to charge off it
Also this thing is CRAZY loud.
Also over a gallon per hour. 2 day outage would need like 36 gallons of fuel....

Weird. I have the 10k Watt version and it runs all 3 of my refrigerators along with my heat pump. I figured my heat pump would be squirrelly with the gen but it worked fine.

I have this 12 kW model and it runs my two fridges as well. I guess YMMV?

My dad has this one as well and runs his whole house. No complaints so far. It does like it's fuel consumption but for the money and power it's pretty hard to pass up. We use a couple of the 10k Watt gens to run multiple grain bin fans too. No prob

You should get it warrantied. Obviously there is something wrong with it...

there must be an issue then, i have a duromax and it runs both my refrigerators, my heat pump, and all my TV's... even my audio receiver and speakers run without any issue at all whatsoever.

and it's not a fancy inverter model, it's this regular old duromax just like this

Fuel consumption fix. Sure it will drop the output a bit but many won't actually be topping out the output. Get a natural gas conversion kit and run off NG. Even if you lose power you will likely still have gas. Natural Gas Conversion Kit fits Duromax XP13000HX Generator https://a.co/d/fX3t4fL

I like Duromax and its generators, but consider a closed frame inverter if living in an HOA community.

Based on the price history, this seems to be only $50 off the normal price
