Same 500cc platform, one question: do you have natural gas service? The HXT's roughly $100 premium buys a third fuel that never runs out, never goes stale, and never needs hauling — if there's a gas meter on your house, it's the easiest upsell in this guide. No gas service? The EH is the same machine for less.

- ✓No natural gas line at your home
- ✓Lowest price on 13,000 peak watts
- ✓Propane + gasoline flexibility is already enough
Pick the DuroMax if…
