| Summary | The DuroMax XP28000iHT is a tri-fuel generator that delivers 22,000 running watts and can surge up to 28,000 starting watts. That level of continuous output puts it firmly in whole-house backup territory, capable of running central air conditioning, well pumps, electric ranges, and multiple high-draw appliances simultaneously without breaking a sweat. Because it accepts gasoline, propane, and natural gas, owners gain real flexibility in how they source fuel during extended outages or planned use on a job site. This is not a weekend camping unit. It is a stationary powerhouse built for serious electrical demand. | The Ford FG18KVTWTCO is a 14,500-watt tri-fuel generator built on a 713cc Ducar V-Twin engine. It runs on gasoline, propane, or natural gas, letting users switch fuels based on availability and storage constraints. The 18,000-watt starting capacity handles motor inrush loads for air compressors, welders, and heavy construction equipment. This is a stationary workhorse for whole-house backup and jobsite power, not a grab-and-go unit. |
