Duromax XP13000EH vs XP13000HX

I’m going to show you how to save approximately $300.00, plus compare the Duromax XP13000EH vs XP13000HX, both of which are 13,000 watt dual fuel generators that run on both gasoline and propane.

Duromax EH vs HX

Have you ever wondered what the main difference between the Duromax EH vs HX models is?

Well, according to the company, the main differences between the Duromax HX vs EH series will depend on which Duromax Generator models you are comparing.

So, let’s take a closer look at the main differences between the Duromax XP13000EH vs XP13000HX…

13000EH vs 13000HX

Both portable generators use dual fuel technology and each has a fully loaded power panel with various types of portable ac power outlets, including a heavy-duty 120/240V 50AMP outlet for transfer switch connection that you can use during a power outage.

Neither has an inverter, so they won’t work very well for sensitive electronic devices. They have the same approximate runtime: about 6 to 6.5 hours at 50% load on a 40 lb propane tank, or 8 to 8.5 hours on a full gas tank.

The control panels have the same functions: battery switch, circuit breakers, digital multimeter, low engine oil indicator, and idle control. The fuel gauge is on the fuel tank, rather than the control panel.

These are among the most powerful Duromax generators, with starting watts of 13,000 watts gasoline / 12,350 watts propane and a running wattage of 10,500 watts gasoline / 9,975 watts propane. Each has a push button start electric starter with recoil start also available.

So these two models are nearly the same. The main difference between the Duromax XP13000EH and XP13000HX (and most Duromax Generators) is that the “HX” model has a few additional features that the “EH” model doesn’t have, including things like…

CO Alert/ Carbon Monoxide Detector

The XP13000HX has CO Alert technology that automatically shuts off the generator when the CO sensor detects unsafe levels of carbon monoxide gas (CO).

On the other hand, the XP13000EH does not have a built-in CO detector.

GFCI Outlets

The XP13000HX also has two sets of household-style GFCI outlets (120v 20amp), while the XP13000EH only has one set of GFCI protected outlets.

All Other EH and HX Features Are Identical

Other than the CO Alert and the extra set of GFCI outlets that the HX model offers, according to the company, all other specifications of the Duromax XP13000EH and the Duromax XP13000HX are identical.

How To Save Three Hundred Dollars

The dual fuel portable generator Duromax XP13000EH costs approximately $300.00 (three hundred dollars) LESS than the dual fuel portable generator XP13000HX.

Personally speaking, I bought the XP13000EH because I have never (and will never) run gas or propane powered electric portable generators anywhere near my house or in an enclosed area, so I really don’t have any need for the CO Alert feature that the HX series has.

And if that ever changes, I already have at least half a dozen hard-wired CO detectors in my house that also have battery backups for power outages, so I’m covered.

And you can buy a heavy-duty power strip with six outlets at any Home Depot or Lowes for $15 or less.

Which means that you can plug that $15 power strip into the one GFCI outlet that the XP13000EH comes with and end up effectively having three sets of GFCI protected outlets… vs the two that the XP13000HX comes with.

So, if you can live without the built-in CO2 detector and the extra set of built-in GFCI protected outlets (you can always just add a $15 power strip if you need more outlets) … you can end up saving almost Three Hundred Dollars by purchasing the XP13000EH vs the XP13000HX.

I use the dual fuel portable Duromax XP13000EH to power my entire house, and I love it!
