Description
Zoom on the DuroMax XP9500iH
To sum up, the DuroMax XP9500iH is a powerful portable inverter generator tailored for:
- Food van owners who know that just a short power outage could lose them hundreds of dollars

- Professionals who want to be able to deliver results, even during a power failure
- RV travellers who wish to upgrade their experience to another level
In the forthcoming sections, you'll delve into its power characteristics, the various outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the additional features it boasts.
Power & Run Time
Featuring dual-fuel technology, the DuroMax XP9500iH provides 120/240V, and offers both power and versatility. Running on gasoline, it delivers a running wattage of 7,600W and a starting wattage of 9,500W. When propane-powered, it offers 7,200 running watts and 9,025 starting watts. Moreover, the parallel capability (parallel kit not included) enables increasing of power output when paired with another similar or compatible unit, providing increased energy capacity and versatility for a wide range of needs.
At a noise rating of 61 dBA (just slightly more noisy than an office), this inverter generator can be started via a manual recoil starter system, or a no-fuss and convenient electric starter (battery included). Additionally, the XP9500iH features remote starting, offering users increased convenience (key fob included).
In terms of its run time capability, the XP9500iH, furnished with a 7.1 gallons fuel tank, can maintain operations for up to 21 hours on a full tank of gasoline (with fuel consumption averaging 0.34 gallons per hour). It also provides up to 9.5 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.49 GPH) of operation with propane.
The XP9500iH generates a clean sine wave with <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), ensuring minimal electrical noise and fluctuations. This feature makes it ideal for powering sensitive electronics, providing stable and reliable AC power through the outlets.
Outlets
The control panel includes the following 6 AC outlets:
With its 14-50R outlet, this DuroMax unit is RV-ready for owners with a 50-amp service in their RVs. In addition, as it features a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the XP9500iH is transfer switch ready: in case of a power outage, you will be easily able to connect it to a breaker box and power your household.
Portability
With its enclosed inverter generator design (L26.2 x W25 x H29.6 in), the DuroMax XP9500iH offers superior aesthetics and operates with minimized noise levels, distinguishing itself from standard, open frame generators. The generator has a contemporary design, convenient for recreationally generating power.
Despite its weight of 216 lbs, the generator is still considered 'portable,' meaning it is movable, although its heftiness may restrict portability in certain environments or require additional considerations for transportation and setup. Still, once it is on the ground, its set of wheels (⌀8.5") and its folding handle can easily solve the issue of low mobility and allow for easy relocation of the device.
Features
Embedded in the control panel of the XP9500iH, a digital data center serves as a vital feature, offering comprehensive information on the lifetime run hours, voltage, frequency and power output to aid in monitoring activity and status.
In addition to this info, the device's light indicators will illuminate to indicate if the oil level is too low, the generator is ready and the generator is on overload.
With its built-in fuel gauge, the inverter generator provides quick and convenient gas level checks.
Security-wise, this product benefits from an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), which gives you a complete peace of mind when using it.
The XP9500iH also benefits from DuroMax’s CO Alert carbon monoxide shutdown. If CO levels become unsafe or rapidly increase, the generator will automatically shut down, an indicator will light red, and the engine will not restart for 5 minutes.
Beyond the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to assist with setup, the DuroMax XP9500iH ships with supplementary accessories: funnel, battery charger, key fob, propane hose and tool kit.

The DuroMax XP9500iH versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the DuroMax XP9500iH compare to dual fuel generators of similar power (between 7500 and 8500 W).
- At a weight of 216 pounds, the DuroMax XP9500iH places in the expected weight range of the dual fuel generators in the 7500-8500 rated wattage range. Regarding dry weight, one of the champions in the same power range is the Pulsar PGL9000BCO, with a dry weight of only 149 lbs.
- With a lowest possible noise of 61 dBA, this inverter generator places itself amongst the most quiet of the products delivering similar power.
- Compared to dual fuel devices of similar power, the XP9500iH stands out with one of the higher run times, lasting up to 21 hours at 25% load. If autonomy is your priority, one of the devices of a similar power output with the highest run time is the DuroMax XP10000EH, reaching up to 22 hours.
- While the run time is an important parameter, it is dependent on the fuel tank's capacity and thus, doesn't say much on its own unless we consider fuel consumption as well. With a fuel consumption rate around 0.34 GPH (gallon per hour) at 25% load, this inverter generator is one of the most fuel-efficient models within the aforementioned wattage range.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 7500-8500W dual fuel inverter generators, the DuroMax XP9500iH is on the cheap side of the price range.
It can therefore be a really good buy if you're looking to acquire a budget generator.
