Gavin's generator videos are the best! Its like having a very knowledgeable and friendly neighbor explaining everything in a way thats easy to understand. Thank you!
Thanks neighbor 😉😅
This large of a generator may end up becoming a home run for a lot of people. They're good for power outages at home, run a small welder, a plasma cutter and quiet enough for camping.
Very excited about these !
Yessir I think you are right about that and the dual fuel gives you options in time of fuel shortages
Thanks Gavin, mine just came yesterday and I saw your video on how to remove gen from the box, made my life so easy. There are no decent video on this gen and looking forward to your load test video.I waited for so long for comparison between predator 9500 and this one, finally decided to pull the trigger on this, home depot gets it periodically but you have to fast to order it. thanks again.
I’m happy the unboxing tip helped I really didn’t want to cut the box
Thanks for watching
Dude, I really appreciate all of your reviews, seems like you do everything I would do to try out a new product. Thank you so much.
I appreciate that!
These are definitely the future. Paralleling is incredible. 2 of these in parallel will power most homes with ease. The price will continue to drop as well. So when my current 12000 watt conventional generator gives me my moneys worth the IHX series will be my next portable power solution.
Gavin, You're the best. Your attention to detail is impeccable. I just took delivery of my XP9000iH last week and look forward to following your directions with regard to getting it up and running. Kindest regards from Largo, FL
Thanks 🙏🏾 I appreciate that
Thank you Gavin. I recently got one of these. Your unpacking tip worked like a charm. I'm very pleased with the unit. Very powerful and quiet.
Thanks 😊
Thank you so much for this review! I have been looking at all 3 you have reviewed and this looks like my top pick. You answered all of the questions I would have had to try to figure out myself by just cruising the internet. I will add a Generlink transfer switch to my meter and also use this to run a plasma cutter and generator for portable use.
You’re welcome 👍🏾👌🏾💯
Beautiful machine, and as always, a nice video Gavin. Thanks.
Thanks Dave
Thank you! I'm looking forward to the test against the Predator.
Great video. Can't wait to see the upcoming comparison. Hope the incoming storm was not bad for your area.
Great video, Gavin. Now making decision more difficult, that unit is super quiet and versatile.
Thanks Jeffrey
You can’t go wrong with the ones on my channel good luck
Nice video review ….. looks like a decent emergency use generator without a high price tag! Thanks again!!
I bought a HF Predictor 2000 last fall to use around the property. We just had a power outage lasting 19 hours, i have been jumping to now get a bigger HF Model. Now this has me rethinking my plan. I can’t believe how many players there are in the generator game now. I will be researching this brand and waiting for more reviews on it. Thanks!
Yep the Generators are stepping up their game.
Hopefully they keep getting better as technology get cheaper
I just ordered one of these. Thanks for the review, It helped in making my choice.
👍🏾
That's a monster. It will pump you up.
Your grass is on point!
Ok, this is my new favorite youtube channel, keep the vids coming dude
Thanks 😊
Excellent video and information 👊🏼
Thanks
Hi Gavin, really appreciate your videos. Really glad to see your first review of the XP9000iH and looking forward to your video where you compare this one to the HF model. Also looking forward to seeing the waveform from this model, similar to what you did with the HF Predator 9500 video. I'm looking to purchase the XP9000iH but won't pull the trigger until your comparative review. Hoping that the impending weather doesn't cause too much trouble for you....stay safe.
Thanks for watching my videos
Glad i was able to help, yes the test and comparison vids coming soon
@@GeneratorReviews Nice
@@GeneratorReviews when?
Great review. Thank you.
Excellent video!
Thanks
Love the reviews 👌 💥
Thanks buddy 👍🏾
Dude... Your videos are great. When hurricane season hits your channel will blow up. You should do a video on your top 3 or 4 generators for a hurricane. Thanks for the great content!
That’s a great video idea keep them coming👍🏾
Thanks for watching buddy I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment
@@GeneratorReviews Ok heres another idea for a video. I live in Central Florida and we loose electricity every time a hurricane hits us. Do a video on "What would be the smallest generator" that would run a 5000BTU window AC unit, A refrigerator and a tv and cable box. Those 3 things are must haves in Florida and will keep you from going crazy when the power is out for a week or 2.
@@bondscalper a 2000 watt inverter will run all that . I’ve done it many times with a Champion 2000 watt inverter
Another great video 👍👍.. Keep the great reviews coming
Thanks 😊
Super nice video. Thank you!!! I bought one.
Another excellent video, Gavin. These generators are getting better every year. Another year or two and they'll be completely silent. Yeah, sure... I didn't notice where you drain the oil from. I guess you'll be showing that with your first oil change?
⚠️Here are the safety rules of using portable generators. This is a very important announcement.
It is important to follow all generator safety rules whenever we use portable generators:
Everyone must see this. This is just a reminder for everyone’s safety.
1) KEEPING OTHERS SAFE: Please do not allow an unqualified person or your children to operate and service the portable generator. Just because some manuals don’t say that doesn’t mean it’s safe. That is important against the generator safety rules. We also need to be keeping an eye on our children too. You need to make sure that your children are not playing near the portable generator especially when it’s running so they won’t get electrocuted. Generators pose electrical risks and they can be hot during an operation. Please keep your children away from the portable generator at all times. It is important to keep our children safe especially our little ones. Be aware of all the hazards.
2) WHERE TO RUN YOUR GENERATOR: Some people use their portable generators indoors which increases the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. It’s important to have a carbon monoxide if you have a gas generator. Never ever use your generator indoors even if your doors and windows are open and even in the garage is not safe to use a portable generator. Not even at your porch and your deck. It is never safe to use your generator indoors and in enclosed areas of your home. Your generator needs to be 15-20 feet away from your house.
3)🔥FIRE HAZARDS: Never refuel your generator while it’s running. You need to let your generator cool off before refueling it and before storing your generator. Never overload your generator too. Never ever back feed your generator. You should never plug your generator into a wall outlet. Also never store propane tanks indoors. Please keep flammable things away from the generator as well and please don’t smoke cigarettes near the generator. Having a fire extinguisher next to the generator is also important against the generator safety rules.
4) GENERATOR OPERATION: make sure your hands are dry before touching the generator. Never use your generator in wet conditions. Don’t let your generator get wet. You need a generator tent if you need to use your generator during wet weather. Please don’t wear loose clothes when operating the generator. Turn on your generator before plugging in appliances. Use the right cord for your generator. Please do not use worn out cords.
th-cam.com/video/I1jT3ANENvI/w-d-xo.html and here is a video more about keeping others safe when using generators
Hope this helps. Please make sure you follow all the generator safety tips. Thank you
Great Job Sold me on it for sure.
Thanks Buddy
Thanks for watching. Thanks for subscribing. 👍🏾💯
Thanks for this video too. You're almost alone on the Duro 9000 videos man. Helps a lot, feels like I know the unit before it gets here. Gonna save me some time. Ordered some 500 LBS rails, going to pull that right out the side of my food truck. Maybe we're due for an update after your servicing the unit and such. Later man.
Thanks Eric
I’ll be uploading more videos on it services and maintenance.
Good luck running it commercial, maybe it'll last 6 mo's shoulda bought a predator, burn it out, return it with a "no questions asked warrantee".
@@FXNorm Running it at 40% load 10 hours a week, I'd be surprised if it blows in 6 months. Good thing there's a 3 year warranty on it. We will see.
Great Video.
Thanks
Hi Gavin.....thank you very much for highlighting this big daddy generator. It is bigger than what I'd consider, but looks to be a quality, well appointed model! If I didn't already have a full size open framed generator for our house, I'd definitely opt for something like this.
Have a good one!
Thanks
I really like this one👍🏾
Thanks for the info and the link Amazon alright 👍
Thanks for watching
Nice video. I would LOVE to see the ATS in action.
As always, nice job. Would you consider doing a video on a dual fuel generator like this one, but show how you can use the onboard LPG Inlet to use natural gas instead of propane. Natural gas nipple out from the house run a gas hose to a natural gas regulator (must buy regulator hardware and hoses) and then from the natural gas regular into the onboard LPG inlet. So you're now making the unit tri-fuel. I think it would be an interesting project. And you're the perfect person to do it. Thanks.
Thanks for watching
I will see what I can put together 👍🏾😊
I just ordered this Generator from Amazon on the 13 of Jan this year, It has gotten lost via the freight company. so still waiting on it. cannot weight to get it. to replace my old 5500 watt gen-set. which was running at the max when hooked up to the house.
Thanks for this review.
Wow, that’s the first. I’ve never heard of them losing a 250 pound generator.
@@GeneratorReviews I did finally get it delivered a day earlier. Love this generator thanks to you. But one thing I learned I should have got one with a 50 amp Output.
One thing you should advise people with this generator, in the currant winter storm, we lost power and I had to use the new gen set for the first time. Once I had switched off the main power, I fired up the Duromax 9000 and I had no power going to the house. after some trouble shooting of my wiring, found out that not only do you have to switch on the circuit breakers for the 240v plug, but also you MUST have the two 120v circuit breakers on as well. why? have no idea. After that it powered my whole house wonderfully. Love the new quiet running generator.
Looking forward to a comparison of this to the Harbor Freight Predator 9500.
They look nearly identical. During testing, please highlight any major differences that you find between them and your opinion on which will last longer.
Looks like the parallel plus are different between this and Harbor Freight model. This one has two plugs and Harbor Freight has three plugs.
Thanks
I will point out the difference between then
@@GeneratorReviews when?
Dual fuel is the selling point here. The Predator does not have that -- though I wish it did. Harbor Freight seems like they would be way easier to work with than DuroMax.
Thanks for videos. Do you plan on testing the DuroMax 13000HX or 13000EH. What you think about them. I know they are not inverters but the have a good price on them
Can't wait for the comparison video. I'm still in the market for a generator but can't get my hands on the predator. The duromax is available to ship, so that may make my decision easy. Question for you, any idea if one of these duromax along with the parallel kit would be able to use the 50amp connection or you think you have to actually parallel two of these generators to use the 50amp connection on the parallel kit? Thanks!
Hoping for a sound test with one a/c running !
Hey Gavin, found the original manufacturer as Senci China. They subcontract for Harbor Freight, Duromax and A-iPower. This unit is actually based on the international 240 volt version Senci SUA 8000i. I am assuming the figures of 8000 watt max and 7000 watt continuous running is more conservative. I would question the longevity of the Predator 9500 of 9500 watts max and 7600 watts running as concerning for long term safety of the unit before catastrophic failure of the inverter itself. Units sold in North America seem to over rate their specifications. I would run this generator at no more than 4000 watts to 5000 watts maximum continuous sustained operation. They are nice units but a word to the wise, run the at about 50% load and they will last much longer. Just thought you may want to know the origins of these generators. I do own the Duromax XP 9000 in, a very nice generator.
Hi Terry, Yep I appreciate your feedback thanks 🙏🏾. I spoke with all three manufacturers Duromax Predator and Ai-Power and yes you are correct that 50% should be where you run your generator for long term sustainability. 80% when turning on extra load like microwave coffee maker then back down to 50 - 60%.
Thanks for watching
Thank you Gavin, great video and fantastic overview. I see in the video that you were able to easily push the XP9000ih on your pavers, but I am curious if the small wheels and weight made it a struggle pulling over the grass? Thanks, Damon
It was very easy pushing it in the grass
@@GeneratorReviews Awesome. Thank you for the quick reply!
Great generator review. But I'm dying to know all your lawn maintenance secrets! I've never seen such a perfect green healthy, well maintained lawn. Congratulations!
I hit the sub button. I’m new to channel. I do have one thing. With the different brands. What are the ranges for the remote start. Like you said from comfort in home. Would like to see you do a video on remote start with different brands. I’ll look to see if you have a video already but if you don’t be great to see. Wonder if the battery would go dead if left on for the remote start to work. Looking at getting one soon. Love the videos
Thanks for the sub👍🏾😊 the remote can easily work within 75 ft range of the generator.
The generator will enter standby mode so the battery won’t die when remotely started.
Really nice generator. Love the dual fuel, I’m just surprised that they didn’t install a quick connect for the propane. And also is not rv ready connect. Considering it had so many other options on the panel. Thanks Gavin. Will be looking forward on the review on how it performs, compared to the 9500 Predator. Stay safe my friend.
Thanks Steve
I’m hearing a lot of talk about modified sine wave I hope they would not cut such a huge corner that would be disappointing
@@GeneratorReviews That’s so true. Especially now a days when we have so many electronics computers, smart refrigerator, stoves, smart tv’s etc. That requires the pure sine wave. Well hopefully they didn’t cut corners on that. Thanks buddy.
I just got off the phone with Duramax the chief engineer said that this is a pure sine wave inverter
@@GeneratorReviews very good to hear that. I be waiting for the review on how it does. Might be interested in purchasing one. For the house.
Hello Gavin , I Watched a lot of your generator reviews. I thank you for your time and effort in making great videos to help a lot of us out. I have a question about the Duromax 9000 IH hour meter that I own doesn’t show cumulative hours,is it normal? Thanks
Let me double check with my generator but I think it keeps a total on the generator run time
Wonderful series of videos! Thank you for your professional approach. You do a great job.
I have a 3 ton ac system. Did you try running your whole house ac with the 9000W? I've been told I need a 50 amp generator system which I don't want. Maybe a soft start kit would allow the 3 ton compressor to start up without stalling the unit?
Also, how was polling the 9000 thru the beautiful turf in your yard?
Thanks again.
Thanks I appreciate you watching. The soft start kit is a plus and I don’t think it will be a problem for this 9000w, moving it on the grass actually wasn’t that hard.
Gavin, you always come up with clever and resourceful tips on how to make life easier with these generators. I was wondering if you've ever looked into adding an inline fuel filter to this generator. I would like to have one on our XP9000IH but there just doesn't seem like there is enough room to add one to the line.
Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions you might have.
Definitely a good idea so you can make sure all the particulates from the Gas doesn’t get into your carburetor jets. I will take a look at that one for you. Thanks so much for watching.
@@GeneratorReviews That would be wonderful Gavin. If you can come up with something, I'll bet it would be helpful for the owners of the Predator, Genmax and other similar generators also.
Nice video Gaven can't wait for the follow up Video. Did you ever stick your O scope in the XP9000IH? To verify Pure sine wave
Thanks and I will make sure I verify
Awesome video. I like the comments about "don't over-torque". Did yours come with the propane line to connect the generator to the tank? Thank you
Yes, they come with everything you need to run out of the box
This makes me wonder if I could get parts to retrofit a remote start for my predator 9500.
Probably can same Generator
Nice video. I’m new at your channel and I have a question. I’m the owner of the Wgen 9500 DF and it runs my whole house including 3.5 ton a/c with the obvious variables with propane (never tried gas cuz my a/c runs on the same soft start you own). Should I buy the Duramax 9000 inverter only because of the high Total Harmonic Distortion open generator’s creates? Thank you so much in advance.
Yes I would never run a non inverter on my appliances unless I really had to. Thanks for watching and sharing 👍🏾😊
Thanks for your reviews, they are really informative. How easy is the basic maintenance on this gen? Is the air filter accessible without removing multiple panels? Thanks!
Apart from the air filter it’s very easy to maintain. I’m working on a comparison between Duromax, Predator, Genmax, Aipower all inverter 9000w
Hey Gavin, great video! I'll be opening mine in a few weeks if there's no hangup in shipping... I appreciate your review and I think it will help. Quick question- what is the diameter on the exhaust port?
The diameter of the exhaust port is right around one inch and a half
Another well made and useful video, packed full of good info. One question, does the power have to be on in order for the remote to work?
Yessir, this is why it cannot stay in standby for long periods of time because the battery will die.
@@GeneratorReviews thank you for your reply, I'm trying to learn a bit about portable generators and I find your videos to be the most helpful. You obviously put a lot of effort into making them and I thank you. And I thank your family for supporting you in the whole video making process.
Be nice to have a Tri fuel version of this or similar style
Just got this one having trouble getting to the bottom clip off the air filter casing to get filter out to clean, any suggestions how about a video???
Ok let me work on a video asap
I would really like to see you test the Duromax 4500 inverter gen.
Coming next
Awesome review. I just bought one and am excited about what it can do. Do you have any videos showing the differences between the plugs on the side as far as amps and wattage? Also can you clarify how much oil is needed?
Oh yeah lots of load testing videos just visit the channel and you’ll see
Is the process of unbonding the neutral the same on the Duromax 9000 the same as the predator 9500? Just picked up this generator for whole house back up. Thanks! Your channel has been a godsend!
Yes it is 👍🏾Thanks for your support
@Gavin’s Garage Thanks! One follow up. I believe I read that a bonding plug would need to be connected to the 240 outlet, not the 120. If that's the case, that outlet is now unavailable for use. Besides placing a switch on the now unbounded neutral or hooking the wires back up to the grounding post, is there another way to re-bond and still use the 240 outlet?
I am interested in ATS functionality of this generator or any that can have close to an unattended setup where it will start and stop itself based on utility power sensing assuming our demand does not exceed the rated capacity of the generator of course. Would be great for you can do a video of that function, connected to a home or 240v RV setup . Great content always Gavin keep up the great work.
Thanks
I will be doing some testing on my home soon just getting stuff ready for that I already have my transfer switch I just need to install my interlock kit
Forget the generator, LOOK AT THAT LAWN!! I mean Look at it!!
Hi Gavin, I finally received my XP9000 this week. I did the setup and ran for about 15 min on propane today. It was around dusk so hard to see but I thought I saw a bit of smoke coming from the exhaust side but not so much from the exhaust pipe.
After turning off heat was radiating from that area with a strong burning smell, so I took off the cover thinking something might be burning. Everything looked fine so I'm assuming it was just burn-off of the exhaust assembly from the heat given it's new.
Did you have a similar experience or should I investigate further?
Hi Kirk that’s okay just assemble burn off. Run it in eco mode zero load for around 30 minutes then change your oil using conventional 10w30.
Then you can start your break-in process try keeping it under 25% load for the first 50 hours, then change the oil again every 50 hrs. You can switch to synthetic 10w30 after 200 hours or 4 oil changes. Synthetic oil changes are 75 - 100 hrs
Congrats buddy 👍🏾
@@GeneratorReviews Thanks Gavin... And thanks for the oil changing tips, first I heard of the after 30 mins but makes sense and oil is cheap (at least for now). I read many comments on forums about switching to synthetic after the break-in period but someone I know that is a mechanic also recommends 200 hours for best engine break-in.
Do you connectt this one to a 30 or 50 W gen inlet box?
Has anyone found a good cover (for storage, not while running) for this? Also, thanks for your thorough review, it helped me a lot!
You should have one custom built for your generator
Can someone answer the following…
If you’re using this for house backup & you’re only using the 30A plug, it can only deliver 7200 watts maximum correct? So the 9000 watts starting & 7600 watts running is not going to matter if your ceiling on a single 30A 240v plug is 7200 watts? Genmax GM9000IE has a 50A plug so it could use the full 9000 starting watts on a single connection?
The 9000w is the Genmax starting power the running power is also 7600w
Has anyone connect two XP9000iH inverters together?
Am looking into buying two & parallel them but haven’t seen videos of someone actually doing what I wanna do.
I mainly use propane as fuel.
I don't understand how paralleling this would be beneficial. Just one of these generators already exceeds the capacity of the L14-30R plug.
Hello Gavin, I appreciate this video. Which magnetic oil dipstick fits this model? Also, what other products/accessories do you recommend?
I found mine on eBay, the other thing I would recommend upgrading the spark plug to a NGK spark plug
Great video again. I watched your video on how to change the neutral to floated from bonded. I just purchased the XP16000ih and didn’t know if you think it would be the same. And help would be great…. I emailed DuroMax and they said it wasn’t advised to change the ground. Thanks again
That’s correct you don’t have to change the ground.
@@GeneratorReviews so I’m going to use this generator for whole home back up with a interlock switch. So on the predator 9500 you stated the grounding needs to
Be changed from bonded to neutral. DuroMax said they don’t recommend it because this can interfere with the generators circuits…… but if it isn’t done then the circuit will have two grounds. Correct? Will it start a fire and blow up? UGH…… Thanks for any help
Like, subscribe, and share guys. This guy deserves it. This is great content and comparisons that we otherwise would never get. Appreciated sir.
Thanks buddy
Wow!!!! This motivates me to keep making my videos
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾Thank you
@@GeneratorReviews Very welcome, you deserve it. In Northern California they just announced our power may be getting shut off the next few days. I'd expect your channel to gain a lot of traffic soon. Keep up the excellent work.
@@GeneratorReviews Once I get some money together I plan to get the Westinghouse 4500df. Your comparison of the gas only Westinghouse confirmed my decision.
I just purchased the 13 k duel fuel
who made it and have you run it yet? Thanks
Unless I am mistaken, the newest model of the Duromax XP9000iH is has one less plug than you you are showing here. It is missing the AC 120 30A plug. Am I correct?
Getting it soon and I’ll confirm that for you once I upload the video
This one seems to have the issue I just found on my brand new one. The total hours are not working at all. Just the since last start hours. Anyone else?
So you know if there’s a way to easily modify this to be able to run on natural gas?
I’m pretty sure there will be a natural gas kit for it coming out soon that way you can have a tri fuel
Very much appreciate your video! Could you tell me after how many hours I can switch out the conventional oil for synthetic?
Thanks!
You can switch to synthetic after 4 oil changes or 200 hrs
I'm new to generators. I am trying to find out more info about the ATS's that can work with this. Any recommendations? Is the port a standard port that would work with ATS from Generac for example?
I think most of the ATS are universal but let me double check I think they are all standard plugs so it might work
@@GeneratorReviews Thanks very much for your help.
Does this have an automatic choke? That would be another differentiator compared to the Predator (unless I just missed it).
They’re both exactly the same both have automatic choke
@@GeneratorReviews Oh I must have been thinking about the open frame Predator inverter gen.
Hey Gavin your videos are great. Very helpful and I/we appreciate them, thank you. I'm currently in need of a parallel kit for these Duromax xp9000ih. If there is a way you can help I'd really appreciate it. I'd be happy to purchase one from you if that is a possibility. Thanks again
I believe the kits are still available for the XP 9000
@GeneratorReviews
Thanks Gavin, Duromax has them on back order and I'm having a really tough time finding them anywhere. They aren't sure when they will have them. Some websites show them but when you order or check they don't have them, and have no ideas when they will. Do you have one I can make a deal with you on? I'm in a messed up position right now, and need one. Or if you have any advice how to get another that will effectively work with the proper specs.
Gavin, do you change the oil always after 30 to an hour? Regular non synthetic?
I change my oil the first time at 30 minutes then after that every 120 hours, synthetic oil after 3 oil changes
Thanks for watching 👍🏾Joseph
I wish these things were in stock
They will be back soon 👍🏾
Hey Gavin,
This and the Predator 9500 video were great and are really helpful. Did you prefer one over the other?
I kinda prepared the Duromax
Dual fuel
Battery charger plug
Auto choke and push button start
No switch for selecting 240v or 120v
Remote start
3 years warranty
But if you need the power and you don’t want propane the 9500w is perfect for you
Great videos!
I was wondering if you had the opportunity to try the DUROMAX4500-Watt 223 cc Push Button/Remote/Recoil Start Dual Fuel Digital Inverter Hybrid Portable Generator?
I've yet to see this one on TH-cam!
Thanks!
I have that one I will do the unboxing soon
Thanks for the video! I have a 30 amp box installed on my house , would I be safe using this for home backup?
Yessir this is perfect for your 30 amp inlet box
Is it Ok to use a 2-30amp to 50amp wye adopter to run my rv with a 50 amp service?
Yes you can or you can just use the single 4 pin to the 50 amp RV plug
I am on the fence about these , I am a newbie on these type generators, I have honda drilled in my head , but the Damm cost and lower power is a buzz kill but the quality is there with Honda but I like the option of dual fuel and inverter technology, I am wondering how the long term on this unit would be and if u ran it on gasoline and when u put it up could u run on propane to clean things up in fuel system , thanks for a great reviews , I am in the market for a mean gen , u know the story ,,, buy once cry once
Buy once cry once! Yep I know the feeling.
Hi David, this generator has all the bells and whistles including a three year warranty. I honestly think if taken care of maintained it would definitely last.
I would pull the side cover and drain the carburetor and tank before storing it.
Thanks for watching
@@GeneratorReviews I do run 93 non ethanol with stabilizer in my old antique winco gen (to dang old) (and not very user friendly)(have to wind rope on pully , yikes) I subbed also .
U should see this old generator I have , heavy bridge construction unit , think it is a 16 horse long stroke Briggs flat head motor , and unit runs at 1800 rpm. And has points ignition, yeah I need a better one , sold on inverter technology, thanks , have a great day
Thank you for your time. This generator is good for power a 4 ton AC?
You’re gonna have to install a soft start to accomplish that task on generator power. Remember you’re not just powering the AC you’re gonna have lights TV, a ceiling fan or something else on so it really helps lower the starting amps requirement for the compressor.
Gavin thank you for your test videos of DuroMax XP9000iH generator. Is it possible to use natural gas as a fuel option on this generator?
Yes, you can convert it to run on natural gas by installing a tri fuel kit
@@GeneratorReviews please provide info on that tri fuel kit
Is it fit for the Phil's, 220 volts, what's the price?
You can't run these outside in the rain can you? Stupid question but not sure if/what one does then?
Usually I don’t run them in the rain but building a Generator cover would definitely help
Can this generator be left out in the elements such as rain when running as the back up?
I would try my best to cover it under a shed or makeshift cover even cutting a piece of plywood, laying it on top of your generator would help
What size socket do you need to take the covers off?
I use a 5/16 socket to remove the side covers
Gavin, does this put out as many amps as the predator 9500?
I plan on doing a full load test taking them to their maximum power output
What is that handle for ? Its to left left above the oil ? Is that a manual way to start it of battery dies?
Yes that’s the pull start in case the battery dies
@GeneratorReviews Would you happen to know why thats the only way mines is turning on ? when i push the start button it tries to crank up but fails, tries again fails and continues until I hit stop on remote.
Awesome lawn what kind of grass is that?
Just regular Saint Augustine and the funny thing is I don’t really do everything except mow
Thanks 😊
Must be nice to get lots of free generators.
Looks similar to the one sold at harbor freight?
Yep they are, dual fuel for those looking for that option
So is this a copy of the Predator or is the HFT version a copy of this? Other than dual-fuel, they look more than a little alike.
I don’t think they are copies same manufacturer but they have different inverters and options
Can you switch the handles so that you can lift it from the other side?
I think it’s possible but I haven’t tried doing it yet.
Same as the Predator with the exception of dual fuel capability and front aesthetics. Oh, and costs 1k more than the Predator.
Thanks for watching yes you’re right about the dual fuel capability and front aesthetics but I think it’s like $600 plus tax more
The predator cost $1999.99
Duromax cost $2599.00
Which is quieter, this one or the Predator 9500?
I think they are the same.
Don't know where you got this generator from , I can't find it for sale anywhere😡
I guess I'm just gonna have to get the predator before they all disappear too, I like the control interface better on the duramax than the predator. And wanted the propane.
Yep! you should really wait and get the one you want it will be available soon
ya u do need a 50 amp bud
to run any house
