The DuroStar DS8000iX pairs useful 120/240V backup power with genuine inverter-quality output in a rugged open-frame package. It produces up to 8,000 starting watts on gasoline, runs on gasoline or propane, and keeps total harmonic distortion below 3% for modern appliances, computers, televisions, charging equipment, and other sensitive electronics.
This one makes a lot of sense for customers who need more than a small camping inverter but do not need a 200-pound whole-house generator. You get remote start, a 30-amp 120/240V outlet, long runtime, copper windings, and a wheel kit in a 134-pound unit that is still manageable around the house, RV, workshop, or jobsite.
Model: DS8000iX | UPC: 811640017347 | Fuel: Gasoline or propane
Key Features
- Clean digital inverter power: Less than 3% THD for sensitive electronics and modern home equipment.
- Dual-fuel operation: Run on gasoline or propane without an aftermarket conversion.
- 8,000 starting watts: Delivers 6,500 running watts on gasoline for serious emergency and portable power.
- 120/240V output: Includes an L14-30R connection for compatible transfer equipment and higher-voltage loads.
- Remote electric start: Start by remote control or electric switch, with recoil backup.
- Demand-based variable idle: Engine speed adjusts to the load for improved fuel economy and quieter operation.
- 100% copper windings: Built for heat handling, durability, and dependable output.
- CO Alert protection: Automatically shuts the generator down when dangerous carbon-monoxide levels are detected.
Output and Runtime
| Fuel | Starting Watts | Running Watts | Runtime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gasoline | 8,000W | 6,500W | 21.5 hours at 25% load; 14.5 hours at 50% load |
| Propane | 7,600W | 6,175W | 17 hours at 25% load; 9 hours at 50% load using a 40 lb. tank |
Best Uses for the DS8000iX
- Backing up refrigerators, freezers, lighting, internet equipment, televisions, and essential circuits
- Powering properly sized sump pumps, well pumps, furnaces, and select air-conditioning loads
- RV trips that need quiet, efficient inverter power with 120/240V capability
- Contractors running tools and electronics at jobsites without utility power
- Workshops, farms, food-service applications, and mobile service equipment
- Storm preparation where gasoline and propane flexibility matters

Compatibility and Safety Notes
The L14-30R outlet can support properly installed 120/240V transfer equipment, but the generator does not include a transfer switch, inlet box, power cord, or installation. Have a qualified electrician size and install home-backup connections. The DS8000iX does not have a 14-50R outlet.
Run the generator outdoors only, well away from doors, windows, vents, garages, and occupied spaces. CO Alert adds protection but never makes indoor or enclosed operation safe. This model is not approved for sale or shipment to California.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the DS8000iX safe for sensitive electronics?
Yes. Its digital inverter system produces less than 3% total harmonic distortion, making it suitable for computers, televisions, phones, battery chargers, and other sensitive equipment.
How much power does it make on propane?
It produces 7,600 starting watts and 6,175 running watts on propane. Plan loads using the lower propane rating whenever propane will be the primary fuel.
Can it connect to a home transfer switch?
Yes, through its 120/240V 30A L14-30R outlet and compatible code-compliant transfer equipment installed by a qualified electrician.
Does it have a 50-amp outlet?
No. The DS8000iX uses a 30-amp L14-30R for 120/240V output. Customers needing a factory 14-50R outlet should consider the larger DS14000iX.
Can it run central air conditioning?
That depends on the air conditioner's running amperage, compressor-starting surge, fuel choice, and all other simultaneous loads. A properly sized soft-start device may be required. Do not size the system from peak watts alone.
How long will it run?
On gasoline it is rated up to 21.5 hours at 25% load and 14.5 hours at 50% load. On a 40 lb. propane tank, it is rated up to 17 hours at 25% load and 9 hours at 50% load.
What starting options are included?
Remote start, electric start, and recoil backup are all included.
Can it ship to California?
No. DuroMax lists this model as non-California emissions compliant.
