Enjoy the freedom and flexibility of running your generator on either gasoline or propane. Propane is cost effective, clean-burning, fuel efficient, low maintenance, has a long shelf life, and is a readily-available fuel source.
Built using a powerful 210cc OHV-V DuroMax engine and features ALL COPPER WINDINGS designed to make your generator last for years.
The XP5500HX comes equipped with a sleek digital control center and a wide variety of outlets to suit your needs, including our MX2 Switch which doubles the 120V power for your RV

Our innovative CO Alert eliminates the threat of carbon monoxide poisoning by automatically shutting down the generator when harmful fumes are detected

5.0 out of 5 stars So far so good
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2023
The generator has a total of 3 hours and runs as expected and am happy with my purchase. While it has few hours, it runs very well. Noise level is OK. A couple of comments are in order. The propane starting instructions on the placard attached to the generator states to turn the fuel lever to on. This is a misprint as It should be in the off position as stated in the operating manual. Could not start the engine with the choke in the closed position. Once I partially opened it, engine started immediately. I sent a note to tech support on a question I had and after 2 weeks I still hadn't received a response. Hopefully I won't need them in the future. Ignoring customers doesn't bode well for their company. For now I'll give a 5 star rating based on engine/generator performance.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fluid all over in the box and no instructions
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2023
This review is based on packaging and not the operation of the generator as I haven't started it yet. Maybe it was a return? Looks and feels like oil all over in the box and the bag surrounding the generator even though it's shipped empty. Dent on the front but not on the box. Funnel is smashed and looks like oil in the hose yet the engine was empty. No instructions anywhere. I haven't tested it yet, hope to this weekend, but it hasn't been a great order so far.

Edit: started up instantly and ran great. Found the manual online and downloaded it. Custom service sucks and never responded to my emails.

5.0 out of 5 stars wow
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2023
all i needed was a 5 k generator, i have a fridge/freezer and baseboard gas heat i need to run in an outage. this will do that and my lights, router, cameras and a couple tv's. the shipment got delayed twice, the shipping label had to be replaced twice so i was expecting it to come beat up. it arrived in perfect condition. took no time attaching the legs, wheels and handles. what did take a lot of time was the negative battery cable, now if the mfr only made it an inch longer it would be so much easier (tip, put the screw in backwards so the nut is on the outside). i put in the oil, fuel and it started first try. i am going to run it for 3 1 hour sessions, change the oil, repeat then put in synthetic. i also plan on running it monthly and charging it 1-2 times a year (although the pull start should be a reliable backup, have to try that tonight). overall very happy with the purchase. i would do it again, i might even go bigger, although i have no need to.

5.0 out of 5 stars So far, I am pretty well impressed!
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2022
I had been ill and wasn't able to open this and set it up for nearly three weeks after it arrived. Yesterday was the day. This thing is very well packaged, 'instructions are clear and set-up is straight forward. Everything seems well thought-out and well-made and they provide quite an impressive owner's manual. We own a couple of other smaller generators of different brands. One of those will now go to our daughter for her to use during power outages and the other one is smaller yet and it is the one we use to power our little camp trailer when camping off-grid. I think we are going to be very pleased with this DuroMax for providing emergency power at our home.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sent unusable generator, missing piece not available until FEB 2023!
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2022
3 - SECOND UPDATE: Dec 21 - I'm being told that the missing bracket is not available until Feb 2023 making the generator I bought in Nov 2022 unusable until the end of winter, they are selling generators with missing pieces - this is fraud, and theft by deception, they took my $550 only to knowingly send an unusable product, so IF they are continuing to sell them without this bracket you will get an unusable generator, or if brackets are available they would have a bracket to send to me. DO NOT PURCHASE, you will not have all the necessary pieces to put it together until FEB 2023 at the soonest according to Brandon Bower in their customer service:

Hello Heather

That is what I mentioned in my last message. The axle bracket was the only piece out of stock and showed an ETA of Feb 2023. We will send it once we receive it, but that would be the soonest I can receive this part.

Thank you,

1 -Received this generator prior to the first snow storm, unfortunately when I went to put it together it was missing all but two parts. It was missing the screw driver, spanner, spark plug wrench, wheel kit, and plug ends, making it useless while my power was out for a couple days. It is very heavy and almost impossible to move without the wheels. Called Duramax only to get a recording and no call back. I have emailed and still awaiting a response. Very frustrating. I should have gone local with this big purchase so at lease if things were missing I could go and get the items.

2 - UPDATE: after a phone call, this review, and some emails I was sent a package with more parts, unfortunately there is still a part missing, a bracket for the wheel kit, making the generator still unusable because the axel for the wheels would only be attached to one side where the bracket is welded on the rod. I have emailed again and hope to get the parts soon before winter is over. (I tried to find a similar bracket at a big box store to no avail). I have again emailed for parts to be sent ASAP, so we'll see. SEE SECOND UPDATE ABOVE : (
