DuroMax warranty for generators & engines
The short version
DuroMax doesn't cover everything, but keeps whole generator (ih, iht, hx, hxt series) and whole generator (most models) covered to 5 years. That full coverage is shorter than most of the 12 brands we compared, which typically cover 1 year in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From DuroMax's published warranty, checked October 2026.
