Portable Natural Gas Generators
Portable Natural Gas Generators: Tri Fuel Flexibility on the Move
A portable natural gas generator gives you the option to run on natural gas alongside gasoline and propane, all within a unit you can move rather than a fixed standby installation. This DuroMax and Anker lineup, all tri fuel capable, spans from the XP7000iHT at 7,000 watts up through the XP28000IHT at 28,000 watts, plus the Anker SOLIX Smart Generator 5500 built specifically to pair with Anker's E10 home backup system.
Why Tri Fuel Matters for Portable Units
Every generator in this collection is tri fuel rather than limited to gas and propane, meaning if you have a natural gas line at your property, a natural gas portable generator here gives you what's effectively an unlimited fuel supply as long as utility gas service continues. That's a meaningful advantage over dual fuel alternatives during extended outages, when gasoline supply becomes unpredictable and propane tanks eventually run dry, since natural gas from a home's existing line removes that fuel-availability risk entirely.
Sizing from 7,000 to 28,000 Watts
The XP7000iHT suits moderate home backup or job site use, while the XP11000iHT and XP13000HXT step up for larger households or heavier equipment demands. At the top, the XP16000iHT and XP28000IHT deliver enough continuous output for whole-home coverage or demanding commercial applications. The Anker SOLIX Smart Generator 5500 fills a specific role in this lineup, designed to recharge Anker's E10 battery system rather than function as a standalone backup source on its own.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a professional to connect a portable generator to my natural gas line?
Yes, connecting any generator to a natural gas line, portable or standby, requires a proper regulator and hose connection installed to code, which generally means working with a licensed professional rather than improvising the connection yourself. This isn't a step to skip even on a portable unit, since an incorrect gas connection poses a real safety risk regardless of whether the generator itself is designed to be moved.
Can I still use gasoline or propane if I mainly plan to run these on natural gas?
Yes, every unit in this collection remains fully tri fuel capable, so switching to gasoline or propane when natural gas isn't available, during travel, at a job site without a gas hookup, or as a backup if your home's gas service is ever disrupted, is always an option. This flexibility is part of what distinguishes a tri fuel portable unit from a standby generator that's permanently plumbed to a single natural gas connection.
What's the role of the Anker SOLIX Smart Generator 5500 compared to the DuroMax units?
The DuroMax units function as standalone generators you connect devices or a home directly to, while the Smart Generator 5500 is built specifically to recharge Anker's SOLIX E10 battery system, extending its runtime during extended outages rather than powering a home directly on its own. If you already own or plan to buy an E10 system, the Smart Generator 5500 is the matched fuel-based companion; if you want a standalone portable generator, the DuroMax lineup fits that role instead.
