When the lights go out, having a reliable generator makes all the difference—and that’s exactly why Bryan often recommends the XP13000HX. It’s not just any portable generator; it’s the crown jewel of the DuroMax HX Series.
With 13,000 watts of power, this unit delivers the kind of performance you’d expect from a stationary home standby generator—only it’s more affordable and portable. That makes it an ideal solution for families looking to protect their home during storms, power outages, or unexpected emergencies.
Built for Serious Backup Power
At the heart of the XP13000HX is a 500cc OHV DuroMax engine, giving it the muscle to power just about everything you need—lights, refrigerators, appliances, and even central A/C systems. It’s a true workhorse designed to keep your household running smoothly when the grid goes down.
Dual Fuel Flexibility
One of its standout features? Dual fuel capability. You can run it on either gasoline or propane, giving you added flexibility and peace of mind—especially when fuel options are limited during emergencies.
Safety First with CO Alert
The XP13000HX also includes CO Alert technology, which automatically shuts the generator down if dangerous carbon monoxide levels are detected. It’s a smart safety feature that adds an extra layer of protection for your family.
Why It’s a Favorite
Whether you're preparing for storm season or simply want a reliable backup plan, the XP13000HX hits all the marks:
✔️ Powerful
✔️ Portable
✔️ Versatile
✔️ Safe
It's easy to see why it's a top pick for home backup power.
