High quality generator, but consult an electrician

Paired this up with a MicroAir Soft Start on my 4 ton AC and can easily power the whole house via a power inlet box and interlock kit.
You may want to consult an electrician though, as these generators come with a neutral/ground bond which would not be in compliance with section 250 of the NEC if you use it as a whole house generator (there should be only a single bonded neutral/ground in a system, and you will already have one at your main panel). You do want to have a bonded neutral if you are using this as a portable generator powering devices via an extension cord, but for a whole house feeding solution you could end up with objectionable current during a ground fault unless you float the neutral.
Converting the unit to have a floating neutral is a bit more complicated than on other generators. There isn't a simple jumper connecting neutral to ground, instead there's a common bus bar where all the neutrals and grounds connect.
Anyway, consult a licensed electrician if you are going to make modifications to the generator, but overall this thing is amazing. It's whisper quiet when in low idle mode, the battery tender is great so that you don't have to constantly remember to disconnect the neutral from the battery, and it's obvious when you take it apart that the build quality is tremendously high. Also, given that it's an inverter generator, gas under light to medium loads will probably last as long as a traditional generator of half the size which is pretty incredible.
Really happy with the purchase!

Replaced our XP13000EH, because we installed some split air units, and my wife works at home on a computer and we were concerned about the THD. We love this thing. This is our third duromax in 3 years. We also purchased a XP11000IH for our guest house, unfortunately it had a problem. Called customer support they asked us to check a few things, they then said they wound send a carrier to get it same day and shipped out a new one. Customer support was always easily accessible and very polite. Some reviews saying theirs no support is BS, they’re just KARENS! the inverter generators are far quieter and more fuel efficient then conventional ones are. I would highly recommend a purchase, just for the support alone. Having an expensive broken generator would be extremely stressful, they removed all that stress, and remember when it’s out of warranty, there’s help and parts available by phone, not texts to and from china. I think that says it all!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Has the power and quiet I need

I bought this several days ago there are things I really like,the power, the dual fuel. For the weight 370 pounds it moves surprizing well. I love the generator Inverter.
Things I am not so pleased with there is no lifting point so I can place it on my truck. My old generator weighing slightly less had a single point lifting hook spot on the center of gravity built into the frame over the gas tank. No muss, no fuss just hook on and go.
There is no listing of consumables I found the spark lug and oil , but nowhere is the relacement Air filter, or oil filter model mentioned I'll need that in 8 hours of run time as when I change the oil after break-in I will want to change the filter too. The maintenance chart should include these items on the chart. Thanks. I look forward to many years of use with the generator.
