I could not believe the amount of power sources I could have running and the Duromax 16000 continued to run and not kick out. I would highly recommend this unit to anyone that lives in area where there is a high risk of losing power for a long period of time.
Just bought the DuroMax XP16000iHT and had an interlock kit, 50-amp inlet, 3/4" natural gas quick-connect installed, as well as a soft-start installed on my 3-ton A/C. The generator started right up the first time and powers the house easily with the A/C running.
I plan on only using natural gas to run the generator so I'm very glad I bought this one over the DuroMax XP11000iHT because I didn't want to run at a full load or limit what appliances I could use simultaneously on natural gas. The XP11000iHT would have been fine if I were using gasoline, but I have learned over the years in hurricane country that natural gas is a more reliable fuel source than gasoline - and you don't need to drive anywhere to get refills!
The XP16000iHT has all of the features you would want and, because it's an inverter, the power is clean so I don't expect any issues running computers and other electronics. I also really like the control center because it's very easy to read load, voltage, and hours. Battery tender is nice too.
All-in-all a fantastic portable inverter generator, especially if you want to power an average size house. Well done DuroMax!
Received the generator two days ago and did a test run today. Instructions were very clear and setup and startup were a breeze. After I connected the load through my existing transfer panel, I turned on almost every light in the house, and the generator didn't even need to comevout of the low idle mode. Even when I was running at high rpm, it was appreciably quiter than our old Generac.
Starts right up. I’m running mine on propane but appreciate the flexibility of being able to use gasoline or natural gas. Easy to maintain. It’s heavy but moves well on the oversized wheels and handles.
I purchased this model in Jan,2026. We were going to use nat. gas but that was going to cost a lot for the instal and the power rating droped off. So we went with LP gas instead . I'm going to do the "break in" run this weekend. The inital start up went fine , no problems. Did I mention how quite it is !!
What an awesome generator. I had to increase my gas line to run this beast and it's impressive. Started perfectly on the 1st attempt. My only regret is that I bought the 16000 before the 28000 became available. The 16000 run my house perfectly ...
The Remnant Sons MC Ministries is a national IRS recognized organization that contacted Duramax by email and voice mail multiple times concerning a need. We were somewhat disappointed that rather than address our inquiry with a simple no they chose to not respond at all blowing our inquiry off as if it was of no importance.
