Pros & Cons
Pros
It was used to power our natural gas furnace, our electric fridge, and a few lights during a couple day-two day power outages. Breaker and circuit protectors are all good and not popped.
I'm so impressed with the result that iam writhing this review. Love the duel fuel option.
Keep your battery charged up on a low amp battery tender, and change out the gas tank with fresh sta-bil treated gas every year. Propane is really handy and no concern of fouling carb. It seems to be chugging along quite nicely.
Cons
Tried to run it. Jumped all over the place, rattled, backfired, died. I am sure it would of started right up had fuel ( propane) been in the system.
Duromax is in no way willing to back their product or get it fixed in a timely manner. Customer service is non-existent. It pops the cb on the unite at a fraction of the 5500 it’s supposed to. Chased them down again and finally received a case number.... Read More

I chose this model for affordability and its ability to run propane and gas

The instructions said that i would also have to remove a wooden block and zip tie that was also for shipping but there was none
Packaging/appearance
Set up was easy dont forget to remove package between tank and exhaust
Fedex rolled it down the side stairs of their truck as they unloaded it and the box was in pretty rough shape
The red bar that was supposed to hold the motor in place for shipping was not attached and the bolts for it were loose in the b... Read More
All in all it seems to be a really nice little generator and i would have given it 5 stars if it hadnt been dented and packed so poorly
