After researching inverter gens for years now, there was nothing ever close to the KW and 120/240 output of the Honda EU6500 and EU7000. Nothing close... Until now! For a few hundred more than the Predator, this unit has a real panel for hours and KW, and dual fuel. Great video! I think this is the TOP DOG right now.
That control center information display is awesome! I haven't thought about this brand and model but your review has put this at the top of my list now. I really like the easy option of the duel fuel too. Thanks!
This beast is on sale for $1999 at the DuroMax website, beating even the retailer's price. I'll stop by Lowe's tomorrow to see if they will price match and still give me a military discount. If that's the case, it's a no-brainer and a really good deal.
@@2godbody4uLowe's would take a while to arrive and I think they wouldn't price match, can't remember. I ended up ordering from Amazon and it was delivered in two days.
This is an awesome generator. I tried to purchase but no store has any in stock right now. Called Duromax and they said inventory should be back in stores by the ending of this year. I'm waiting on this gen....it's a great device. Great video Gavin.
finally settled on this, they are selling right now for $2100, which is less than half the price of a Honda, and for my use (sparingly for hurricanes or other weather events) it should get the job done running all my essentials and the 3T AC (with soft start) AND be MUCH MUCH quieter than an open frame 3600RPM machine, it's not like i'm running this thing for a business or anything (in that case i would buy a Honda) i plan to keep my power usage under 6000W to improve longevity
Subscribed. I appreciate these videos. As someone who is spending a couple thousand on a larger inverter generator and choosing between the Predator and this one, this video was exactly what I need. We have a buried propane tank that runs our fireplace so I will likely go with this one so that I have that option if needed.
Hi Gavin. Thank you for this great demo! It looks like a great generator. It is bigger than anything we currently need, but assuming it has the features of the 4500w version, it is great! Safe travels!
Gavin, another excellent video. I have a question for you; what is your recommended brand for a an emergency use house back-up generator? I’m talking brand, clean power output, and best bang for the buck. Again, this is to get the family through an occasional power outages - well pump, fridges, freezer and a few light bulbs …. I look forward to your opinion and recommendation. Thanks again!!
Hey Ron I’m working on this exact video waiting on one more manufacturer to release the last generator but its 6k and up 240v whole house backup power You will definitely get your answer from this vid I promise
Great video Gavin. Very surprised with the outcome on propane. Thanks for running the test to the max, so we know what it deliver and what we can expect of the generator. Thanks 🙏
Gavin, which magnetic oil dipstick do you recommend for this unit? I mostly see predator and champion magnetic dipsticks for the 3500 model. Will they work for this model?
Love your reviews Gavin and I've learned a lot from watching them. I have a question though about when you overloaded the generator and it shed the load. Did a breaker trip or did the output voltage just go to zero as if there is an internal overload circuit of some sorts? I'm curious because we had our Duromax 9000 connected to the house one time and all the power went out. The breakers on the generator were okay but there was no output voltage and it was running at low idle. I don't remember seeing the overload light but it worked fine after turning it off and back on.
@@GeneratorReviews Thanks for the reply Gavin and thanks again for all the time and effort you put into these videos. I swear that there's more useful information in any one of your videos than there is in the entire owners manual.
Thanks for reply. We just moved to Houston and after the big Texas freeze last February we are ready to buy. We are interested in this particular model because of its low THD and it’s appears to be the most powerful dual fuel inverter.
Can you try a load on that machine with a grinder and a small 230v welder please I would like to see that in action as to see what generator I can use do to the fact I keep tripping breakers in my house I am needing a generator with enough power to power the welder and grinder for my personal home DIY projects but also be quiet enough to not disturb the neighbors because I live in a residential area with sensitive neighbors. Great video reviews so far on the xp9000 I was really liking this machine too until your videos came out but just need to see a little more before I commit to buying this generator
Gavin The Duramax uses .35gph We're as the Gen Max is. 48gph can't make up my mind? Gen Max is better but in crisis the Duramax will last longer. What are your thoughts what would I do if I can only get 1 thanks Urs. R the best video also still waiting for the video of a proper break in on gen max no 1 else has done a good one. Peace ✌️
With the inverter gens getting bigger and better every day, I'm waiting to see who is the first to market with a "stationary/built in" inverter generator in an outdoor enclosure for home backup, to compete against the traditional gens like Generac, Kohler and Briggs. Those gens are loud and plow through natural gas, as they are screaming away at 3600RPM when running. A 10-25KW outdoor natural gas inverter gen lineup will change that market. Maybe another year or 2...
@@GeneratorReviews you should an unboxing of the power horse 7500i from northern tool and put against the Duromax xp9000ih and see which is most quiet with a full load on it and which has a higher load and how long it can hold that load before it trips the breakers
Tristan, I thought the same thing, but knowing the price would shoot up tremendously, I did some research and looked at building an enclosure with a Walmart sheds with exhaust and cooling fans...it came to about $600 to build, a Generlink transfer switch and an auto start kit. It was still a lot cheaper than installing a Generac or Kohler. Check into the Generlink switch...I think I came up with a price tag of under $5000 and that included a soft starter for a 4 ton AC unit
I like this kind of Test , I looking for Inverter Generator , this one is this biggest I think , BUT I want to run My Mitsubishi Zuba-Central 3T. I check the max amp need for the defrost cycle ( Live in Quebec , Canada ) with a clamp. I see 28 amp ... ( the big boy is on a 30 amp breaker ) But at the same time I have my Air fan for the dock ( 1,25 amp ) I'm a little close of the 30 amp for the 240 volts outlets. This output can Handle .... 30 or 31 amp for a minute or 2 you think ?
Sir, Thanks for the test. The engine sure held up under load. I also suspect it hadn't really had a chance to break in where these small engines seem to get another 5-10% power. It appeared the engine was good for more but the circuit breaker tripped at 7700 watts. I think you could have gone to 8200 watts by plugging an identical small heater on a 500 watt setting on the other breaker side of the 240. The only reason it gave up at 7700 watts was the breaker on that leg. If the breaker on the other leg had exactly identical characteristics, I truly believe you could have gotten 8200 before you had a system shutdown. The breakers are protecting the inverter, not the engine. For instance, you couldn't have taken 7200 watts in a 120 volt situation off of one side because the breaker wouldn't stand the 60 amps. Keep those interesting and informative videos coming, A.T. Burke
Thanks for watching. I actually tried it several different ways after this test seems like there’s more engine than inverter like someone else stated but Regardless of where I plugged in once it added up to around 7700 watts it would shut off
I suspect that the 9500 will be the same. I would have to believe they are the same (Predator and Duromax) unit just a different color and some feature differences. Is one better than the other? Debatable in my mind. The biggest test? Which company will support their customers the best. Duromax already has a leg up with a three year warranty vs HF's 90 day or additional cost extended warranty. The biggest standout is the dual fuel from the factory on the Duromax. While you can purchase an aftermarket one for the Predator online, will it void all warranties?
Thanks for the comment Tom The Duromax does have the advantage of the factory duel fuel and it has a three-year warranty. But we’ll see when I do the test if it overloads exactly where the Duromax overloaded
after using generators for a while, the best setup you can do is a battery bank with charge controller and your own inverter that feeds into the house panel with cutoff. PROPANE is the only fuel to use in my opinion when you add up fuel costs and longevity of engine. You set up your generator to kick on when battery bank gets down to a percentage and let the generator top it off. and also kick in some solar panels. You can easily live off- grid with normal home if you do this. Get better efficient appliances and rely on them less. You be amazed on how no paying utility company can pay for your equipment over time and its your and you are independant. The only downside is neighbors when power outages occur and they think they should piggyback off you. Wont be long and I wont have neighbors though, Im getting out of the area soon. Yes Im taking my power system with me. but leaving the solar hot water and basic panels that are older and to much work to remove.
Thanks for all your great videos. I was just curious about the voltage reading on the generators screen, at one point it reads 238 volts then with no other load added it switched to 119 volts. Is the small grey box monitoring one of the 120 plugs and the larger box monitoring both 120 volt legs of the 30 amp plug. Where did you find these amp meters. (Amazon)
I actually bought the monitors off Amazon but I made them myself and you’re right one monitors the 240 V and the other one monitors the 120 V plugs The reason you saw the 238V once I plugged in the 240V appliance it’s senses that it switches to 240v
Gavin, I like your reports. Just got the DuroMax 9000. What I do not understand is the runtime HOURS gauge. It just seems to alternate between hours:minutes and hours of the CURRENT run, not total runtime. Am I missing something? I am in CA and with outages from atmospheric rivers topping 50 hours.
Hi Gavin Great Video. Iv got a quick question to see if you have run across this with your XP9000iH. I have called Duromax about this but I haven't gotten an answer yet. The hour meter keeps resetting when I turn off the generator and restart it. The Minute indicator seems to be working fine. The hour will show how many hours its been running total but once I restart the unit the hour meter starts all over again from 0. I might try and disconnect the battery just to see if that might work (Didn't Work) . Hoping there’s a reset somewhere. Probably dreaming. Fingers and Toes crossed
That timer is just a generator run timer. The main purpose for that timer is so it let you know how long the generators been running it’s not a lifetime maintenance timer I will double check just to make sure
@@GeneratorReviews There’s two timers ,one is the long-term hour meter and the other is an hour/minute meter of how long it’s been running since it was last started. The two timers flip back-and-forth . The long term hour meter is the one that is resetting. A few folks out on the web have said that I might need to run it at least 4 to 5 hours continuous before that hour meter starts locking in. I’ve got about 6 to 7 hours on it already but the longest it ran continuous was about three hours I’ll try to run it for 4+ hours tomorrow and see what happens. Thanks again for your help
you should an unboxing of the power horse 7500i from northern tool and put against the Duromax xp9000ih and see which is most quiet with a full load on it and which has a higher load and how long it can hold that load before it trips the breakers
I have a small single wide mobile home. I have one mobile home cable that runs almost everything that plugs into the PGE box, but the A/C and water heater is connected to a separate hard wire to the PGE box. Not knowing/understanding how this trailer is wired, I purchased a Predator 3500. It runs the trailer home fine, but no hook up for A/C (220v). It seems your real smart on these generators. What would you recommend for the best 9,000 Watt Dual Fuel Portable Inverter Generator w/ CO Alert, 50 amp plug and clean computer voltage. I think I would like to use Propane.
If you’re looking for a 50 and I’ll put on the generator the Genmax 9000 dual fuel would work perfectly for you ruclips.net/video/svK1zuuq57A/видео.html
I was just curious where you got your XP900iH. A week ago I ordered one from Home Depot, they were in stock at the time. I went to pick it up yesterday at My Home Depot here in town, an lo and behold they had shipped the wrong one. Oh the frustration. That was just the beginning of the problems. Getting it back on the cards was insane. And at this point I cant reorder it till it is back in stock. Crazy Times
How big of a propane tank can use use with the adapter they gave you? Is a 100lb cylinder tank ok to use or do you have to do other things and is so what are they? Thanks in advance from a loyal subscriber)
@@GeneratorReviews Thanks for the quick response! When you say "specs" I presume you mean the regulator that comes with it. So it sounds like for a 100lb tank you will need to get another regulator. Would you know off hand what size or type of regulator you need? The propane industry isn't too helpful if you know what I mean:) BYW do you know hoe many BTUs the generator is I think that relates to the regulator you need? Thanks.
Gavin I've decided on the gym Max 9000 IED too many pluses oil filter 50 amp plug insulated side panels cooling fan smarter looking exhaust off the back it's the one I just don't know what the THD is I know on the Duramax is 5% do you know what the THC is on the Gen Max you're helping this matters greatly appreciated I thumbs up every one of your videos peace
Why did it shut off at 7600 or 7700 watts? I thought that was its rated 'running' wattage? With peak 9000? That seems like its possibly using an under sized main breaker?
Great testing. I really like this genny but I know changing the air filter is a bitch just like on the Predator 9500. Thanks for your help and great videos.
I'm thinking of buying this one, but want to know if you guys think this will run a 4 ton central air unit...just the air? Once my house is cool, I can shut it off at breaker and run my essentials.
Thank you! I was hoping to get a few more watts but I’ll just have to work with what I got. I like the generator though, it runs very well. I enjoy all your videos Gavin !
Well the Duramax less THD and runs more efficient than the Gen Max 9000 IED but I'm still sold on a Gen Max again thank you sir I've enjoyed watching your videos
I bought one of these and have a problem maybe you could help me with, One of the main reasons I bought this generator is because it was said to be ATS ready but with only compatible select Circuit ATS . I have been unable to find any information or where to purchase said switch and cable or is this something duromax hasn’t come out with yet? I would appreciate any help you you could give me on this matter thank you
Hey Mark, let me contact Duromax and find out about this I know Westinghouse makes a ATS that looks compatible with it but let me find out I’ll get back with you.
Hi Gavin I have an odd question. Do you have the dimensions of the box that the XP9000iH came in. I cant find it online anywhere. Thanks A Bunch. Robert
That’s the exact same test you just mentioned I want to run but it’s too cold to run my A/C. I also have a 5 ton AC so I would like to find that out when it gets warmer I will do this test. If you haven’t subscribe to my channel please subscribe and wait for this test
It runs our home's 3 ton hvac system with no problems. You will want a hard start kit or soft start though. It will also run numerous other things in our house at the same time. You will need to make sure you balance the load on both sides of the 240 to maximize what you can run.
@@GeneratorReviews Great...I am considering going with this model but would like the NG option. The various vendors I reached out to indicated that they didn't have a kit available at this time. Will be following closely.
It looks as if the regulator is on the lp tank. I would think if you had a NG regulator with the primer button (Forgot what they were called, sorry.) This may work. Definitely worth a try. I'm curious too. I converted a Ryobi 2300 inverter to NG and it runs as it should.

I went to pick it up yesterday at My Home Depot here in town, an lo and behold they had shipped the wrong one. Oh the frustration. That was just the beginning of the problems. Getting it back on the cards was insane. And at this point I cant reorder it till it is back in stock. Crazy Times
I also got it from HD shipped and yes it took a while to get it.
@@GeneratorReviews Thanks
How big of a propane tank can use use with the adapter they gave you? Is a 100lb cylinder tank ok to use or do you have to do other things and is so what are they? Thanks in advance from a loyal subscriber)
I know all the specs are based on a 40 pound propane tank. Once you get the right fuel regulator for the tank size you should be fine
@@GeneratorReviews Thanks for the quick response! When you say "specs" I presume you mean the regulator that comes with it. So it sounds like for a 100lb tank you will need to get another regulator. Would you know off hand what size or type of regulator you need? The propane industry isn't too helpful if you know what I mean:) BYW do you know hoe many BTUs the generator is I think that relates to the regulator you need? Thanks.
Similar to the Hondas tested on RUclips, but on LP. Not bad. Seems like it has more engine than inverter.
Gavin I've decided on the gym Max 9000 IED too many pluses oil filter 50 amp plug insulated side panels cooling fan smarter looking exhaust off the back it's the one I just don't know what the THD is I know on the Duramax is 5% do you know what the THC is on the Gen Max you're helping this matters greatly appreciated I thumbs up every one of your videos peace
The Genmax 9k has a less then 5% THD also.
Thanks for watching buddy
Why did it shut off at 7600 or 7700 watts? I thought that was its rated 'running' wattage? With peak 9000? That seems like its possibly using an under sized main breaker?
Your peak 9000 W that’s only for like four seconds so it would start the load up to 9000 W but 7600 W that’s your running wattage
Definitely going with this one 👍
Yep 👍🏾 You can’t go wrong with this one.
Great testing. I really like this genny but I know changing the air filter is a bitch just like on the Predator 9500. Thanks for your help and great videos.
Yeah that air filter I got to figure out a way to change it easier than what I’m seeing
Luckily it’s not an every day thing
I'm thinking of buying this one, but want to know if you guys think this will run a 4 ton central air unit...just the air? Once my house is cool, I can shut it off at breaker and run my essentials.
Test coming soon 👍🏾
I can only get 6300 watts out of mine at 4500 ft. Is that normal or do you think I have other problems? That’s running on propane.
That’s probably all you’re going to get at that altitude.
Thank you! I was hoping to get a few more watts but I’ll just have to work with what I got. I like the generator though, it runs very well. I enjoy all your videos Gavin !
Great job 👍
would this run a 3 ton AC unit. My entire house is gas except obvious AC and microwave and a led lights? I should be able to run my entire house?
Yep absolutely it shouldn’t have any problems running that load.
Gavin, what is the Horse power on the DuroMax 9,000 engine? I’ve looked strong and can’t find the listing.
Hey Carl, The Duromax at 459cc should be rated at 30 hp engine. That is more than enough engine to support its output power.
Thanks for watching 👍🏾
@@GeneratorReviews So If I were to connect this to NG, it would consume 30 x 2543 = 76,20 BTU of NG draw. Right?
@@CureInsomnia 30×240 = 7200w
Kevin what is the THD of the Duramax also I made up my mind I'm going with a gen Max 9000 IED thanks to you the cooling fan
It has a THD of less than 5% and thanks for watching
Well the Duramax less THD and runs more efficient than the Gen Max 9000 IED but I'm still sold on a Gen Max again thank you sir I've enjoyed watching your videos
Have you tested out the new Duromax XP9500iH yet?
I will test it soon
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍👍 as always!
💯👍🏾🙏🏾Thanks
I bought one of these and have a problem maybe you could help me with, One of the main reasons I bought this generator is because it was said to be ATS ready but with only compatible select Circuit ATS . I have been unable to find any information or where to purchase said switch and cable or is this something duromax hasn’t come out with yet? I would appreciate any help you you could give me on this matter thank you
Hey Mark, let me contact Duromax and find out about this I know Westinghouse makes a ATS that looks compatible with it but let me find out I’ll get back with you.
@@GeneratorReviews Thank you!
@@GeneratorReviews Any luck?
Hi Gavin
I have an odd question. Do you have the dimensions of the box that the XP9000iH came in. I cant find it online anywhere.
Thanks A Bunch.

Sweet Thanks A Bunch
Will this XP9000IH run a 5 ton central ac, a refrigerator, and a few lights?
That’s the exact same test you just mentioned I want to run but it’s too cold to run my A/C.
I also have a 5 ton AC so I would like to find that out when it gets warmer I will do this test.
If you haven’t subscribe to my channel please subscribe and wait for this test
It runs our home's 3 ton hvac system with no problems. You will want a hard start kit or soft start though.
It will also run numerous other things in our house at the same time. You will need to make sure you balance the load on both sides of the 240 to maximize what you can run.
What is better for you this DuroMax or GENMAX GM9000iED ?
Both great generators they just have different features it all depends on what you’re looking for.
@@GeneratorReviews for all purpose overall what you recommend between GENMAX or DuroMax ?
@@JesusGonzalez-my1noGet the Genmax Forced air cooling 50 amp plug no need for parallel kit
Can you send us the Amazon links to the power monitors and the gray box you made? Thanks.
Yep let me find on thats in stock👍🏾
Will it function with natural gas
you have to buy a natural gas conversion kit?
Say Gavin is there a way to convert to Natural gas using the propane line ?
That’s something I haven’t tried but I will look into it for you
@@GeneratorReviews Did you ever find a way to convert it to natural gas?
@@mattrevell Yes I found a sponsor that’s going to supply that hardware so I’m just waiting for that to come through
@@GeneratorReviews Great...I am considering going with this model but would like the NG option. The various vendors I reached out to indicated that they didn't have a kit available at this time. Will be following closely.
It looks as if the regulator is on the lp tank. I would think if you had a NG regulator with the primer button (Forgot what they were called, sorry.) This may work. Definitely worth a try. I'm curious too. I converted a Ryobi 2300 inverter to NG and it runs as it should.
Could you make video to create a 240V digital monitor. Thank you sir
Yep will do 👍🏾
Has anyone tested their claim that you can get approx 18 hours of run time at 25% load w/ a 20lb propane tank (4.7 gal)?
I haven’t ran it for 18 hours straight on propane at 25%
duromax exhaust is on the side, genmax exits the rear
Positive Comment
Thanks John 😎💯
Too much generator for me but still informative and entertaining.
Can this run a central A/C?
I haven’t tested it yet on my 5 ton A/C but I’m pretty sure it will
It runs our homes 3 ton hvac with no issues. You will want a hard start kit or soft start though.
Sorry I meant XP9000iH
👍🏾
