Predator 11500 vs 9500 - The Differences
Further down the page, you'll find some explanations regarding the key similarities and differences between the Predator 9500 and the Predator 11500.
But before checking out explanations regarding their power, portability, and features, here's a table that summarizes the main pros of each of these 2 generators:

As the 9500 and the 11500 are both Predator generators, they benefit from the same level of quality and attention to detail.
Power Comparison
The following charts are provided to show you at a glance how the main specs of the Predator 9500 compare to the Predator 11500.
- The Predator 11500 has the advantage of being able to run on 3 different types of fuel (tri-fuel), whereas the other only runs on gasoline.
- With a running wattage of 9,000 W, the Predator 11500 will allow to power more appliances and tools than the 7,600 running watts of the Predator 9500. Moreover, compared to the 9,500 starting watts of the 9500, the 11500 and its starting wattage of 11,500 W will give more power to start the appliances which require an additional boost to get their motor running.
- When loaded to 25% of their max capacity, the 9500 offers a higher runtime on a full tank than the 11500: it can operate for up to 18.5 hours, whereas the 11500 offers a maximum runtime of 14 hours.
- With a gasoline consumption at 25% load of 0.37 GPH (gallon per hour), the Predator 9500 is more fuel efficient than the 11500 and its 0.49 GPH. The former's operation will therefore cost less in terms of the money spent on gasoline. Inverter generators like these 2 are of the most fuel efficient (and quiet) type.
- Both generators offer a low THD (<5% for the Predator 9500 and <3% for the Predator 11500) and are therefore perfectly suitable to safely power your sensitive electronic devices.
- With 64.5 dBA, the noise emitted by the 11500 is slightly lower than the 67 dBA of the 9500. While this difference could seem insignificant, the former should still be easier on your ears.
Portability Comparison
- As these two products share the same overall bulk, neither of them will really take up less storage space.
- With a weight of 257 lbs, the 9500 is slightly less heavy than the 11500 (which weighs 259.5 lbs).
- Both products benefit from a set of wheels, which greatly enhances their maneuverability. Both offer a folding handle, which improves your grip when you wish to move them around.
Feature Comparison
- Both devices can be started either via a pull-start mechanism or an electric starter. The Predator 11500 offers another layer of convenience, as it can be remotely started.
- The 9500 offers a higher amount of AC receptacles than the 11500: the former benefits from 6 AC outlets, whereas the latter has 5 AC outlets. Yet, they both feature GFCI outlets. Both of them also feature a DC output. In addition, it is worth noting that they can both produce either 120 or 240V.
- Each of these 2 portable generators is equipped with a data center allowing you to conveniently monitor some aspects of the power output. Besides that, these 2 products are fitted with a fuel gauge allowing to see their fuel level at a glance.
- Both units benefit from Predator's CO Secure carbon monoxide monitoring technology.
