I purchased this generator with the hopes of powering my entire single unit 2600 square foot South Florida home. I was without power last year in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma for four days. I contracted an electrician to install a transfer switch box and inlet port. I also built up a 6 gauge 50 amp male to male 27 foot power cord. I wanted to go with a male to female but the electrician installed a female inlet so until I change that I went with the aforementioned. At $7.00 a foot at HD my cost with the end connectors was about $265.00. I connected everything and used gas as the fuel since the specs on the unit indicated that I’d drop from 12K surge power to 10K if I used propane. After turning off the utility power and transferring to the generator, I gradually started turning on the breakers. The connection I was using was the 50 amp connector. After turning them ALL on, I went in my house and test all the appliances. The fridge, two deep freezers and even the stove worked. I then minimized all the appliances to just the fridge and deep freezers and turned on the central air conditioner. I heard the generator lull and surge back up. The air conditioner started right up and worked fine. I went outside to check the power cord to see if it was warm or hot. It was neither. I’m not by any stretch an electrician so my apologies for not running off a bunch of specifications. What I will do is try and post the specification of my AC unit to give you some kind of idea what I’m powering. After restoring everything back to utility power I tested the propane fuel option by purging the lines from gasoline and connecting a 100 pound propane tank. I used the supplied propane hose and a six foot extension with a brass coupler and the unit worked just fine. I was told at the propane distributor the the supplied 5 foot hose and the added six foot extension would be as far as I should go with the length of the line. The supplied propane line DOES NOT come with a regulator. Also the connection at the generator end is a 3/8 connection. So if shopping for a line, do not include a regulator. My unit’s only issue was a wheel that had a pressure indentation causing it to bump when rolling the unit. I contacted the help number and they requested I reply to the email with photographs and an brief explanation of the problem. I did that today so I’ll provide an update as to how that issue is resolved. The unit comes with two keys located inside a ziplock bag where the owner’s manual is located. I used 10W 30 oil with a little less than a quart. The battery was charged and already connected. There was enough of a charge for me to use the electric start. I’ll provide as much additional information with the photos I think will answer many questions I’ve seen while reviewing this unit. For now, it seem to be working just fine. Again, my apologies for not providing a more “technical” review. I give this unit five stars. It’s got the power and fuel options which allow for long term storage of your propane. UPDATE: Sunday, May 13, 2018 I’ve just tested the Duromax 12,000 Duel Fuel with my propane set up. I’m using two 100 pound tanks connected with a Mr. Heater 2-tank hook-up kit with tee and 30-inch hose assembly with P.O.L. male ends. I’ve also attached a 6-foot extension on the Duromax supplied 5-foot propane hose. Prior to attempting to start the unit, I used thread seal on all brass to brass thread connections. I used very slight torque but enough to make sure there were no leaks. I tried one tank at a time shutting off the other to check the pressure. I have a screw on pressure gauge on the in-line system. The first tank checked out fine and maintained its pressure. The second tank pressured up not problem but one the machine stated running the pressure would drop and the generator would cut off. I removed the line connecting the second tank and added more thread seal. I also added some on the end where it connected to the tee assembly. I opened the tank, pressured up not problem and turned the unit on. No loss of pressure and the units are working fine. I’ve read on a few post that a regulator would be required if you extend the hose from the tanks to the generator. Perhaps the real problem is a leak. If there is a leak somewhere in any of the connections the pressure will drop once the machine is on and the generator will stop running. Hope this info helps. ... show more

I only write reviews when I really like something or really hate it. I really like this generator, the DuroMax 12kW. I considered buying a permanent standby generator but I couldn't justify the $20,000 expense (that's what I was quoted by several suppliers here in Naples FL). That said, the Florida heat is insufferable and while a smaller generator could power a room A/C, we really wanted our central air, a new 5 ton 14SEER Carrier unit. The problem is that it demands 144 amps/32kW at start up and no portable can handle that load. After doing some research, I learned about a KICK START (also called a Hard Start) device; essentially a secondary capacitor and regulator that soft starts the AC. $250 later and my big central AC dropped to 38A/8360 measured watts! Exciting, but would it work? I had an electrician wire the inlets (I have two 200 amp service boxes, one for the high amperage stuff including the central AC, stove, pool pump etc. and the other for the rest of the house). I put the 50 amp inlet to the high current box and the 30 amp to the other. The electrician installed the Interlock kits on each service box, along with dedicated breakers for the generator. This is IMPORTANT, even critical, to prevent back flow of the generator current to the grid, which could be lethal to a line worker. It forces you to either use the power from the grid OR the power from the generator, but not both at once. You simply slide the metal plate which allows you to switch on the generator; then back when power is restored. See pictures. The Duromax arrived this morning. It looks great and was not as large as I feared, although it is heavy. I was able to flip it upside down to install the wheels and feet by myself (I'm 60, but in reasonably good shape). On the advice of other reviewers, I didn't bother with the original tires but went to ACE hardware and bought a pair of robust inflatable ones. They may go flat, but I can put air in! The ones that come with it are some sort of hard foam. Time for Duromax to improve the wheels. I also noticed that there are no ORANGE shipping braces as referenced in the manual. Just not there and it appears they aren't needed. There is also no longer a purge value for the propane regulator. Duromax needs to update the manual in this regard, although importantly they did update the regulator. Everything you need to connect to propane is in the box. The unit was a little troublesome to start. As others have noted, I had to move the choke to the mid position to start, then back off quickly when it fired up. Follow the start-up instructions to the letter, including starting with the breaker on the unit set to OFF and the loads off at the service box(es). I connected up and started initially with only the central AC on. The unit powered up and I did a series of fist pumps! Then I turned on the other box fed by the 30 amp circuit and the rest of the house powered up. I didn't press my luck trying to run other heavy loads, like the pool pump or the electric stove, but in an actual power outage I would plan to cycle those loads - turn the AC off to run the pool for a while or heat the hot water for a shower. The main thing was the Central AC. The Duromax is not quiet, but neither are the whole permanent whole home generators. I had the electrician mount the inlets on the side of my home nearest the driveway so I can just roll this out and keep it well removed from the house. With the garage doors shut, it's fine inside (and cool!) You can hear the big Duromax slightly change pitch when the AC comes on but it doesn't seem to be struggling at all. I am IMPRESSED. While I don't want a hurricane knocking out power, I feel like we are now prepared should it happen (and it will down here, just a matter of when). Although I have ordered some 40lb propane tanks (I never intend to put gas in this machine), I tested it for an hour running the whole house using a 20lb tank. I bought a Flameking Bluetooth scale on Amazon and with a full tank starting at 80% after an hour I re-measured. It hardly moved, was still showing 80%! (Yes, the scale works because I've measured other tanks and it stores those results). The base of the 20lb tank was getting a little frosty; I've read that tanks freezing can be a problem but the solution is a bucket of water a few inches up the tank. Overall I highly recommended the Duromax 12kw! ... show more
