Summary
The DuroStar DS14000iX supplies up to 11,000 running watts for major household loads and demanding jobsite equipment. Gasoline and propane operation offer two fuel choices, while output below 3% THD suits sensitive electronics. Its 120/240V connections support high-demand equipment, and 12.5 hours at 50% load on gasoline reduces refueling interruptions.
The Powermate PM1200i is a portable inverter generator designed to provide clean and stable power for sensitive electronics, tools, and appliances. It features a fully enclosed case for ultra-quiet operation and RPM+ technology that automatically adjusts engine RPM based on load demand to reduce sound emissions and conserve fuel.
