Here waterfront in SW Florida and took a direct hit from hurricane IAN, 150+ winds sustained for 8 hours with no power for 10 days. Ran this Duromax 9000i (brilliant purchase) and it really did an amazing job powering our panel with a 30 amp plug. We have two AC units a 5 ton and a 2 ton. Elected to run only the 2 ton unit non stop with fans blowing about and honestly lived like we had power. Of course used 8 gallons of gas per day and the hot water heater Elec was something we would shutdown AC for an hour to heat up the tank (did to conserve fuel). If your concerned about hot water, just installed a Rheme heat pump hot water heater which has a run load of 100 watts, ready for the next situation here! Not to mention saving $45 per month in Elec with the new hot water heater. Obviously gas supply is a situation, got creative pumping gas out of the boat with a Tera AA Batt powered gas pump, our boat has 100+ gallon tank; newer boats are anti-syphon so if you remove the access panel for the fuel sender unit you have pumpable fuel.

Not for long if your running it on propane. My generator ran a total of 42 hrs on propane and solenoid valve fuse kept popping. Changed fuse retried propane ran 10 secs then shut off. Changed fuse again used gas ran fine. Called Dromax they knew about the issue in August of 23. They did not send out any bulletins. Now I have a generator with a whole sum of 42 hrs run time. Will only burn gas. Reached out to Duromax. Only had a 2 yr manufacturers warranty. Bought mine in July of 22. Bought a 4 yr extended thu Asurion. Bought unit thru Amazon. Go to their website they are now claiming 3 years' warranty on their generators. So I can get parts I hope from these people, but would be very leary of what they say generators will do. I'm going to the State Attorney General in Texas if I don't hear back from them.

If you know what a microair softstart unit actually does. It has computer controlled start up capacitors. So the start up requested amps are provided by the microair capacitors. Then as the microaire capitors give up there charge ,in the start up phase, the electrical amps ( in line) replace the capacitor amps , to bring the requested running amps , for the heating / cooling unit. They work . I have spoken to the company techs and have one installed where I live.

@GeneratorReviews 8 ай бұрын

The whole idea behind Eco mode is to save fuel. There’s no reason to ever have it off. If you plan on running the generator at 100%, then you can turn it off but if you’re powering standard loads where it should be at least 50% of your generator total output, Eco mode should always be on. There’s no reason for your generator to be running wide, open throttle in a power outage situation. I hope this helps. Happy holidays.

My licensed electrician who just installed the InterlockKit and a 50 amp inlet told me to not disconnect the neutral on the ground lug of the generator. He said that another customer of his did that on this same generator and blew out 5 GFCI's as well as a diode controlled bathroom fan in his house. He reconnected the neutral on the generator and after my electrician repaired the damage, he didn't have any further problems. My electrician explained that when the utility power is disconnected, the neutral ground at the panel is disconnected as well, so you need the neutral bonding at the generator. Just be sure to ground the generator at the generator ground lug with a grounding rod and 12 AWG wire as recommended by DuroMax for the XP900ih.

Even though the wires, plugs, breakers, etc are 30amp, they can briefly supply much higher (as in motor starts like this.). The 30amp rating is for continuous usage, heat/damage from exceeding that take time and circuit breakers are designed to allow brief excessive amps. (Starting amps are only maintained briefly, for less than a second.) The generator can also briefly surge above the rating (to 10k plus watts in this case). The soft start does make it possible, the generator wouldn't of been able to surge to 20kw (if 80amp starting) req'd for normal starting.

Sounds like the circuit breaker may have tripped due to overloading or ground fault

The last time we lost power after a bad storm 10 days no power in the middle of summer inside the house went up to 104. My kid was four years old. I wish I had this set up just to cool the house down so they can sleep.

Being a DUROMAX brand is it gas or diesel ?

@GeneratorReviews Жыл бұрын

This one’s a dual fuel, gas and propane

@RDM-346 6 күн бұрын

DO NOT BUY A DUROMAX UNTIL THEY MAKE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THEIR GENERATORS. NO PARTS LIST, NOT EVEN AMAZON SELLS THEM.

No way, it can't run 5-ton A/C Maybe running on Gasoline only

Propane will power your 5ton A/C

Do not purchase anything from duromax. If something goes wrong you will be waiting months to get it fixed.

@@GeneratorReviews Random fual leak from bad gasket which is made with recycled paper. Then they confirmed a another faulty part needs to be replaced, but the company, DuroMax, waits months to send it out. I live in Nashville, TN and Altaquip is the only company willing to do warranty repairs! Altaquip has DuroMax equipment just sitting for months waiting for parts.
