DuroMax XP13000EH review
DuroMax XP13000EH 13,000-Watt Dual Fuel Portable Generator
By Tom Calder
10,500 running watts and 13,000 to start, on gasoline or propane, with electric start and a transfer-switch-ready panel. DTE Energy's figures put a 3-ton central air conditioner at 18,000 watts to start, more than this makes.
