Edit 6/19/25 Strong storm cell came through our area; high winds and driving rain. Moved in and out quickly so everything seemed normal. A few hours later, power went out. Power was out 9 hours. The 1300EH fired right up and ran 8 hours on a full tank of fuel (gas). That seems to be the average time (in hours) with a nominal load. Edit 6/18/25 Still running great. I usually start it by hand just to see if it starts easily and it does. 80 hours on it so far. Have not tried the propane option yet, but have tanks available if needed. I try and run the generator at least every few months (for 15 minutes or so) to ensure the fuel lines stay clear and dust off the cobwebs. Each time I add fuel, I use Stabil fuel stabilizer since its hard to tell how long it might be before the generator is used again. I also add B12 Chemtool to at least one tank of fuel a year. Follow recommendations on B12 can for ratio. The B12 also helps keep varnish and junk from clogging up the carburetor. These two fuel additives work magic when used in small equipment engines that are not run often. You will never have a start-up issue when using these additives. Edit 9/30/24 Generator is running great still. Lost power at 5:40AM due to remnants of Hurricane Helene. Power companies are trying to restore power and probably had to shut off adjacent grids to make the repairs. Edit 7/23/22 We recently upgraded to a 3 ton compressor & evap coil (same air handler) due to the previous 2 ton compressor dying a slow death. The 3 ton compressor uses about 1000 watts more than the 2 ton compressor. The XP13000EH can easily handle the extra load. To help with turn-on surge, I turn the air handler fan from AUTO to ON, this way the air handler is already running and when the thermostat calls for AC, only the compressor will need the surge current to get up and running in that split second. With both HVAC units running the load is about 6000 watts, so I have approximately 4500 watts to run the rest of the house, which is more than sufficient to be comfortable when the power is out. As far as sensitive electronics, the only issue I have had is with a UPS (back-up power supply), but other than that, the 13000EH runs everything just fine, no issues. Desktop & laptops use a switching power supply, so those kinds of supplies don't need a perfect sine wave to operate. My old school air handler (regular squirrel cage motor) runs fine of the 13000EH too. End of edits. Original Review: We bought this generator based on other reviews and it has been dependable and powerful. One item that I wish they would address possibly in future models or a change is the muffler; it is a bit loud, but other than that, the generator is awesome. We live in north central North Carolina where power is fairly reliable, but has gone out periodically more than I thought it would and purchased the 13000EH as a whole house generator. The 13000EH is connected thru a 60 amp transfer switch and runs the following with ease: Two 2-ton HVAC heat pump units with gas furnace assist 1000 watt microwave oven Standard size fridge Two chest freezers Home office and networking equipment (computers, printer, etc) TV, Dish receiver, audio equipment Various LED lighting and ceiling fans Two bedrooms (lights and receptacles) Although some reviews have stated that the THD of this generator (this series in general) is higher than some other more expensive brands, we have not had any issues with our computers or other electronics being run off of the 13000EH. The generator has about 50 hours on it. It easily pull starts even though it has an electric starter too. Very happy with it’s performance so far. I have only run it on gasoline so far, not propane, but do have propane tanks as a secondary fuel source.

Chicago has been pummeled with bad weather. Bought this on Prime Day at a deep discount in June 2026. Little did I know I'd need it 30 days later. The unit is heavy, which is good. It's a solid product. Set up with not too many issues. I actually found a YT video of a guy setting it up that was easier than the manual. Made a choice to use propane only so that I would never have to worry about carb being gunked up. It's easy to use. It powered 4 appliances - a couple lights and a fan for over 5 hours and used up about 1/2 tank of propane. No regrets. Buy a cover for it to keep it dust free wherever you store it

I rarely write reviews, but I know for this purchase, I relied some what heavily on the verified reviews. First off I work in the construction world, and feel I have a above average aptitude for trouble shooting, installation, and confidence of use. The generator came on a truck with a Tommy gate, and the driver unloaded and placed in the garage for my wife (I was out of town), trucking company communicated well and timely. I put the accessories on, I.e. handles, wheels, etc, which was a semi easy task, I will note the generator is heavy, I don’t have an exact weight but I had to grunt a little to move it around with out the wheels. I filled with oil (full synthetic), fresh 93 grade fuel, and hooked the battery up and let it sit for a few hours. The generator fired right up with the electric start, and ran fairly good but was a little choppy and ran hard. I turned it off and checked oil and for any issues/leaks. I let it sit for a little longer and started back up and still ran a little rough, which I attributed to being a new start with no load to the motor. I hooked the generator up with the provided whip, into my 50a generator plug, that I wired into my panel. As soon as I started turning on breakers the generator rev’d up and was singing perfectly with no hiccups. I turned on all breakers, including my A/C and furnace (for blower fan). I live in Florida on the space coast, and this generator will be vital during hurricane season. The a/c for some reason didn’t start up at first, but after some time I did get it to kick on, and the generator rev’d up more and still sounded good. The noise level is actually quiet for its size and capability, but it’s by no means quiet. At the time it was running the majority of the lights in my house, A/C, tv, fans, fridge, and microwave. It finally tripped and pulled to much when my wife decided to run the dish washer. I will add to my review on my next maintenance run, or use after a power outage. I put 0 stars for tech support because I have not needed it to this point, so I can’t accurately rate this.

Two issues that stop me from giving it 5 stars. One is that is does not come with any oil. That is pretty cheap when your paying a grand plus for a unit. The second is that the sticker and instructions are backwards for the choke settings. Luckily, I was able to figure this out before it was a big issue of not starting. I charged the battery to make sure I had full battery power before starting. I added 1 qt of conventional small engine 30w oil. It says it takes 1.2 qts, but 1 qt filled it full. I believe they say a small amount of oil is in it for testing. The positives are that it started up right up with the electric start. No chock was needed. I thought the chock was on, according to the instructions and sticker. When I moved it to the right to take it off the choke it wanted to stall. So I wondered what was up and removed the air cleaner, only to find that moving it to the right closes the butterfly valve. The opposite of what the manual says! Pretty sloppy in my view. It is running as I write this for the 6 hour break-in period and is running fine. A bit noisier than I was hoping for, but no louder than my 20 year old Wheel Horse. Another gripe, Amazon said it would be delivered in two days and the website said it would be delivered on Sunday. However late Sunday afternoon it said it was delayed but didn't give any information. So I wasted a whole day waiting for it to come. The next morning I got a message saying it was going to be delivered and it was on a very large Amazon truck. Good thing I am retired, otherwise I would have more upset with the delayed delivery. I checked all the outlets with a multi-meter and the voltage seems to be good in all the outlets. So far, I am happy with the purchase. Build quality seems to be good and assembly wasn't too bad. The test will be when the power goes out and have to fire it up after sitting for a period of time. I will put "ethanol shield" fuel stabilizer in the tank to extend the life of the gasoline. Once I get it broken in, I will try running it on propane just to make sure that also works.

Very good higher power generator runs on gasoline or propane. Electric or recoil start. 500 cc OHV motor with low-oil auto shutoff. Carbon monoxide detector and auto shutoff. Three-way meter shows voltage, frequency and total run time. Includes no-flat tires. I never run gasoline in it but it's good that it can use it. Propane in a tank never goes bad, unlike gasoline, and it burns clean. The choke automatically opens when the motor starts. The muffler is pretty good and keeps the noise down to a dull roar. The engine has a single-button start/stop system like later model cars; press 3 seconds to start or stop the motor. If it doesn't start immediately, which it nearly always does, then it will pause the starter for 5-10 seconds and then try again. This unit can easily run a microwave, a well pump, a 240 V electric heater or kitchen range, or a fridge and freezer. Maybe not all of those at once, but 13,000 watts is a lot of juice for a portable generator. This is the third Duro-Max generator I have owned, and the highest powered. I am happy with this one. It was delivered just 3 days before a major winter storm cut the power grid for 6 days and nights. I just had time to put the wheels on, run it 4-5 hours with light load, before the outage hit. I changed the break-in oil at about 10 hours run time. Had 55 hours on by the time power came back on. It kept the house warm and well-lit. It got about 7-8 hours on a 20 lb. tank of propane, but drew gas fast enough to cause the latter half of the small tank to frost up. Placing the tank in the warm air flow out of the generator prevented that. I recommend this genny.

I was really excited to find this generator on sale. I purchased it through Amazon and it arrived a few days later. I had no problems putting it together and no problems starting it. However, the generator with only run for about 15 seconds. I contacted Duramax and they informed me they would be sending me a DuroMax Genuine Carbon Monoxide Alarm. The part arrived a few days later so I started the generator and once again it only ran for about 15 seconds. I contacted Max again and the representative said oh, often times representatives think the problem is the CO alarm, but it’s actually the DuroMax Genuine Regulator, Voltage. They sent me that part and of course I had to put that on also. I have minimal mechanical knowledge, but I was able to change these parts although I thought it was unfair that no one else was available to do this on a brand new generator. After installing the second part, the generator ran for 15 seconds and shut down again. I’m starting to believe this generator is not worth the money. Unless I can get some results I am done with this generator and will be expecting a refund. So far I’m approximately 35 days in.

Purchased 2 of these units one week apart in March 2022 to power our new 5th wheel RV. These units are super powerful and easily ran our RV with 3 AC units during the brutal Phoenix summer months. They were really easy to set up and we have used both gas and propane to power (husband is a contractor but didn't really need special skills to set up.) We rotated these 2 with our existing Westinghouse Wgen 7500 generator to provide 24/7 power during triple digit heat as we are boondocking on raw land with no utilities. Unfortunately, from day 1 the first Duromax unit used excessive oil. In August the first unit died and could not be repaired. We submitted a warranty claim online. During the delay between claim submission and receipt of the new unit, we spent over a thousand dollars renting a Honda generator (super loud and gas guzzler). The week after the new unit was delivered the 2nd unit died. After submitting a 2nd warranty claim, I went onto the Duromax website and submitted a 1 star review detailing all of our issues since purchase. Within 15 minutes I received a phone call from Brandon in Customer Service at Duromax. He apologized for the delay in replacing the first unit and the overall issues we experienced, expedited the replacement of our 2nd unit AND sent us a reimbursement check for the full amount we paid to rent a generator. He also provided his email and direct phone number in the event that we had any further issues. Since then, they have shipped us new carbon brushes, AVRs, an electric starter and other pieces needing to be replaced for regular maintenance. For the number of hours they are used, it is to be expected that parts will wear out. They cost us nothing as all were under warranty. We know that we use our units alot more than most. If you just need an emergency backup unit for a couple of days here and there, you will love these generators! Customer Service has made us big fans. These generators are super powerful and half the price of the "comparable" competitors (we did alot of research). The replacement units have not had the same oil issue, so we may have just gotten a bad unit. No equipment is perfect. We really appreciate that once they were aware of the problems they stepped up to make us whole and ensure that we were happy. Thanks Duromax! FYI, we tried a Predator generator from Harbor Freight. It lasted 1 week and we returned it.
