Our take on the DuroStar DS13000MX

The DuroStar DS13000MX is a dual-fuel portable generator rated at 10,500 watts continuous and 13,000 watts peak, running on gasoline or propane. It starts by remote, electric push button or pull, and includes a CO sensor, low-oil shutdown and overload protection. An 8.3-gallon gasoline tank gives about 8.5 hours at half load. At $899 at Amazon as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range across the three stores that list it new.

Questions and answers

Is the DS13000MX worth it at $899?
At $899 at Amazon as of November 4, 2026, it is priced at the bottom of its recent range for a 10,500W dual-fuel unit with remote start and a CO sensor. Comparable open-frame generators with these features usually cost more.
How much power does it make on propane?
Propane typically cuts output by roughly 10 percent versus gasoline, so expect somewhat less than 10,500W continuous. DuroStar lists the 13,000W peak figure for gasoline.
Can it power my house through a transfer switch?
Yes. The 240V/50A receptacle supports a transfer switch or breaker interlock, and 10,500W continuous covers many essentials, though not central AC plus everything else at once.
Does it have a 30A RV outlet?
The listed receptacles are six outlets including a 240V/50A, with no 30A RV outlet specified. Check the panel before buying for RV use.
How loud is it?
It is an open-frame, non-inverter generator, so it is louder than inverter models and best placed away from windows and neighbors.
When is it cheapest?
Prices on generators tend to dip outside storm season and during fall sales. Track the price history here and buy when it falls near the $899 low seen in November 2026.
Where is the DuroStar DS13000MX cheapest?
At Amazon, for $899.00, as of our latest check.
Where can I buy the DuroStar DS13000MX?
3 stores we checked sell it, including Norwall PowerSystems, eBay, Amazon.
