USE PROPANE FOR FUEL
This generator is perfect as a portable backup for power shutdowns. The manual has high quality color graphics, well thought out and easy to follow. First time startup and breakin oil change was a cinch. The wheels are really necessary and made to do the job. We are using propane; and with eight hours of run time and numerous starts on first attempts makes this machine perfect for us. We have a new redundant electrical panel for the frig, stove top, hot water heater (40 gal), garage door opener, first floor lighting and one bedroom lighting. Our recommendation is to use PROPANE and you will ‘get er done’!ðð

Great unit.
Runs my home as long as the AC and stove or heater is not running at the same time. You want complete house to run, then get the 23000. But, for the price, you can not beat this unit. Runs great, easy to start.

Works perfectly!
This is what we use for backup power during outages. Itâs been easy to set up and use. Noise level is normal for what it does. We set this up away from the house so the noise isnât an issue. Great product!

All around Excellent
Good delivery, placed in garage. Minor amount of shipping assembly. Started with residual charge in battery in seconds. Ran well on propane. Have not used Gas or ran at full load. Steady AC output.

This Generator Is An Absolute Beast!
I have been looking for a long time to replace my 1995 Champion 5250 Watt Generator, although it served me well for a lot of years, and did a pretty good job of powering most of my house, I was looking to get a whole house generator that would cover everything, but they are really expensive. Then I ran across this thing. I probably over the course of weeks and months put this generator in my cart 20 times, but could never bring myself to buy it, it’s not cheap. When Amazon dropped the price a bit and offered 12 monthly payments it was a no brainer and I bought it (without letting my wife know of course), I use the “ask forgiveness not permission” ideology.With that it showed up exactly when they said it would and the box looked perfect, but I asked the delivery person if I could open the box and inspect for damage before I accept it. The delivery person was very accommodating, and there was not a scratch on it, so I started on the assembly process. Super easy, but you do need to flip it upside down to remove the shipping brace and install the wheels, so if you you are not able to flip over a 250 or so pound generator yourself, plan on drafting a helper and make sure you use the cardboard from the box or a blanket to you don’t scratch this thing up.This generator does not come with oil, so plan on having some on hand. After flipping it back over installed the handles, connected the battery (you will need an 8mm socket to remove the bolts for the battery cover) it does not come in the toolkit. Also what does not come in the toolkit is a 12mm socket or wrench for the oil drain plug so plan accordingly. After filling with 10w30 oil (non synthetic for break in), I put in some gas, turned on the battery switch, pushed the start button, and it started right up! No issues whatsoever.I ran it through a break in period for about 2 1/2 hours only pulling a light load on and off, and then changed the oil. The oil had metallic particles in it as was expected for break in, I then put in new oil and ran it for another 3 1/2 hours and repeated the process of changing the oil. This time it was pretty clean. At that point I refilled with 10w30 Synthetic oil.Now that I did the initial break in, I switched over to propane, opened the valve, pushed the button and once again it started right up! No issues whatsoever. I plan on doing 1 more oil change after another 5 hours of runtime.Now for the bad. When I tested the idle controller switch it did nothing. That really bugged me, so the next day I started troubleshooting, and discovered the actuator that is activated by the idle control solenoid was bent, most likely happened during assembly. I bent it back, and although it now moved, it did not drop the idle because the adjustment screw was not adjusted correctly on the actuator. After getting it adjusted correctly, when I activated the switch again, it dropped the idle down so far that the engine shut down. I then needed to adjust the idle screw in order to fix that issue. This was no issue for me to fix, but not everyone can, which would result in endless phone calls, or even returning this thing. Will I ever use the idle control switch? No way, at least not when hooked up to my house. Pretty much everything in your house has a circuit board, and when the generator senses a load it comes back up to speed, quickly, and could cause a power surge that could damage one of your appliances.Overall, I am extremely happy with this purchase, and at this point I would buy it again and recommend it to others. It is extremely well built. Duramax put a lot of effort into this machine and it shows. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is because the issue with the idle control should have been discovered on final inspection. This issue was caused during assembly not during shipping or anything else. Had I not been able to fix this myself, it would have turned into a major hassle.One final thought. Not sure why they didn’t use a magnetic oil drain plug. I plan on getting one for my next oil change to catch any metal floating around in there. just one more thing you can do to keep this thing running for a long time!

Unreliable when you need it
I’ve owned this generator for about one year before I actually needed to use it. During the year of ownership I’ve been following the manual to maintain it, starting it without load every two weeks, replacing motor oil on schedule, etc. Recently we had a power outage and I needed to actually use it, but it was very unreliable and died after one day.1. When on propane, it would never run continuously for more than 4 hours, even if there was still sufficient fuel. I was pretty sure the tanks were at least half full when it stopped. I was able to continue using that tank anyways. Every time when it stopped like this, the battery was always nearly dead and could not start the generator again until I charged it externally.2. During running, the voltage was very unstable. The rated power on propane was 9975W. My load was well below 5kW, but it couldn’t produce stable voltage and kept all my light bulbs flickering.3. After using it for over one day, the generator died and would not start again. The customer service claimed that the starter motor was broken and ordered a replacement. But there was absolutely no instructions on how to remove the old one and install the new one. They wanted me to carry this super heavy machine to a service center and pay to fix it.4. The manual pull starter never worked from day one.Stay away from this brand. Very badly made, and can’t be relied on when you need it most.

Powerful generator for whole house.
I purchased this generator because it had great reviews. I had an electrician install a transfer switch for added safety. He fired it up today and it worked perfectly. I live in central California where we have 100 plus days for a month at a time. When the power goes out you can not survive without ac. I looked at possibly adding a solar battery wall to my existing solar. The best price I could get was 28k. My other option was a generac standby generator and best price was 18k. Both options for me financially were not feasible. So I then began doing research on portable generators. This DuroMax had enough power and could be ran on gas or propane! All in with paying an electrician and the generator itself was 5k. It was a no brainer for me and I could not be happier. Some of you may get it all done cheaper but I pay California rates for an electricianâs labor.

Well worth the price!

Bought the generator in October, had a GenLink installed to the house, we lost power for 2 hours yesterday, I had the generator up and running in minutes. I now know when we lose power I can get the generator up and running. Generator arrived in 2 days after ordering it, took an hour to assemble and running. Very happy with this purchase.

I received the generator with severely pinched propane hose. Duromax agrees to replace it for $28,95 usd in order to cover shipping cost. Itâs more than the value of item. Their poor packaging shouldnât be on me. I will not deal with them in future.
