The DuroStar DS13000MX Delivers 13,000 Peak Watts of Dual Fuel Power With CO Alert and Remote Start
The DuroStar DS13000MX Dual Fuel Portable Generator keeps your whole home running during storms and power outages while protecting your family with CO Alert. Its 500cc engine produces 10,500 running and 13,000 peak watts on gasoline, or 10,000 running and 12,500 peak watts on propane.
DuroStar is DuroMax's value line. The DS13000MX adds push button and remote start, a transfer switch-ready 50A outlet and a digital meter to a 209 lb frame, backed by a 3-year warranty.
DuroStar DS13000MX Features
Whole Home Backup Power
With 87.5 amps at 120V on gasoline, the DS13000MX has the capacity for refrigerators, pumps, lights and in many homes, air conditioning. The 14-50R outlet connects to a transfer switch or interlock.
Dual Fuel Capability
Run on gasoline or propane and switch fuels as availability changes. A propane hose and regulator are included, and DuroStar suggests a 40 lb tank or larger.
CO Alert Shutdown
A built-in sensor shuts the generator down automatically if carbon monoxide builds to unsafe levels around the unit.
Remote and Push Button Start
Start from a distance with the included remote control, or use the push button, with a recoil starter as a backup.
Power Panel
Two 5-20R GFCI household outlets, an L14-30R 30A twist-lock and a 14-50R 50A outlet cover household, RV and transfer switch connections. A digital meter shows voltage, frequency and run hours.
Long Runtime
The 8.3-gallon tank delivers about 17 hours at 25% load and 8.5 hours at 50% load on gasoline. On propane, DuroStar rates about 13 hours at 25% load and 6.5 hours at 50% load.
All Metal Construction
An all-metal frame, an automatic voltage regulator and automatic low-oil shutdown are built for years of use.
Real-World Applications

Storm season. Switch to stored propane when gasoline is scarce.
Job sites. Run tools and compressors from 120V and 240V outlets.
RVs. The 14-50R outlet connects to 50A RV service.

DuroStar DS13000MX Dual Fuel 10500W/13000W Portable Generator | CO Alert
Hi there! Thank you for your review on the DuroStar DS13000MX Generator. We are happy to hear that you are satisfied with the product. We hope it continues to meet your needs and provide reliable power. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you!
Generator works. Have yet to try solar panels. Will have to wait for a sunny day! Just wish I was more tech-savvy. Feel a little overwhelmed… but I am satisfied w purchase
This battery charges lightning fast has a light and multiple charging ports and two sockets. It has 2 way power, from the solar panel and the wall outlet. Definitely purchasing from this seller again
The generator cord looks longer in the pictures than in real life. It is 18” long from tip to tip. I received the cord on time and in excellent condition. I have not used the cable at this time as it is for power outages only. I’ve recommended Outboundpower.com to everyone for a vender of solar and power station equipment. They have been a favorite of mine since 2025.
Hi Homer, thanks so much for the kind recommendation and for trusting us for so long! We’re glad your adapter arrived on time and in excellent condition. Thank you for your note about the length and hope it’s ready when you need it. We appreciate you!
Email discomunication and other led to my last review,when spending a lot on solar equipment I was lead to believe what my sales person had told me,,they said they would send a email where I could get a discount for my purchase,I waited patiently and it never came,so I thought I could trust them and made the purchase anyway hoping for the adjustment,I finally got it,but they have reach out to me,and because they do so much business they get tided up with other things,I believe that are the best people to buy solar from,things just got of hand,please know that they have done an excellent job for me and others
Hi Todd, thank you for updating your review and for your kind words. We’re sorry for the email miscommunication, but glad we were able to follow up and get it sorted out. We truly appreciate your patience and trust, and we’re grateful you chose us for your equipment!
Jam sales agent did a first class job, products and prices were better than I could get anywhere. They did a great job. I miscalculated some things, but found out that they were all in my favor. Thanks to the team at Outbound Power.
Hi Todd, thanks so much for the kind words! We’re delighted that everything worked out in your favor. We truly appreciate your support. You are the best!
I give this a five star rating because of the service that jam help me with,, generators, batteries, solar panels, wires, breakers, shut off everything, and I am not an expert at putting this all together, but she straightened me right out. Oh, I had to do is get my electrician to hook up to my breaker box which wasn’t a big deal rest was very easy,, and jam also helped me with the pricing and it was just the first class Five Star Job by Outbound Power I love him and if I get anything else, it will definitely be from jam and Outbound power company.
Hi Todd, thank you for the wonderful five-star review! We’re so glad Jam made choosing and putting together your backup system easy and helped you find the right options and pricing. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with her. Thanks for choosing Outbound Power — we’re here whenever you need us!

My second purchase with Outbound Power. I wanted to expand the capacity of my Delta Pro 3, and they gave me a really good price on the Delta Pro 3 extra battery. It was shipped quickly and for free! Got it connected easily to the Delta Pro 3 with the included cable and it began charging immediately. Very pleased with the battery and with Outbound Power!
