Description
Zoom on the DuroMax XP9500iHT
In short, the DuroMax XP9500iHT is a powerful portable inverter generator adequately designed for:
- Food van owners who know that just a short power outage could lose them hundreds of dollars
- Homeowners in need of an emergency backup power for their essentials
- 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
Over the following sections, you'll uncover its power characteristics, the selection of outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the supplementary features it includes.
Power & Run Time
The DuroMax XP9500iHT delivers 120/240V and benefits from a tri-fuel technology that allows it to run on gasoline, propane, or natural gas. When gasoline-powered, it enjoys a running wattage of 7,500W and a peak wattage of 9,500W. When propane-powered, it benefits from 7,200 rated watts and 9,025 peak watts. Its natural gas operation offers 6,500W of rated wattage and 8,200W of starting wattage. Furthermore, the parallel capability (parallel kit not included) offers the advantage of increasing power output when connected to another similar or compatible unit, delivering expanded energy capacity and flexibility for various applications.
The inverter generator features a conventional pull-start mechanism and also a simple and elegant electric starter (battery included). It is rated for a noise of 61 dBA (just slightly more noisy than an office). For added user convenience, the XP9500iHT is equipped with remote starting capabilities (key fob included).
In terms of running time, the XP9500iHT, equipped with a 7.1 gallons fuel tank, is capable of running continuously for up to 21 hours on a full gasoline tank (with fuel consumption estimated at around 0.34 gallons per hour). When utilizing propane, it provides up to 9.5 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.49 GPH) of operation.
Sensitive electronics can be safely plugged in the AC outlets, as the XP9500iHT produces a clean sine wave, with a <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).
Outlets
The control panel is equipped with 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, the XP9500iHT's twist-lock L14-30R receptacle makes it transfer switch ready, enabling hassle-free connection to your breaker box for powering your home during outages.
Portability
Thanks to its closed inverter generator design (L26.2 x W25 x H29.6 in), the DuroMax XP9500iHT not only offers superior aesthetics but also operates with reduced noise levels compared to a typical, open frame generator. The design follows the contemporary trends and is perfect for recreationally generating power.
Even though this device may be technically portable (as in movable), manipulation and transportation without special equipment can be a challenge, as it weighs 216 pounds. Nonetheless, the limited maneuverability is compensated for by utilizing its set of wheels (⌀8.5") and its folding handle, which facilitates shifting once the generator is set on the ground.
Features
A digital data center, one of the features of the XP9500iHT's control panel, gives you information on the frequency, lifetime run hours, voltage and power output, and thus, is helpful for the monitoring of its activity and status.
In addition to this info, some light indicators allow you to instantly see if the oil level is too low, the generator is overloaded and the generator is ready.
Equipped with a built-in fuel gauge, the inverter generator facilitates swift gas level checks.
From a security standpoint, the product offers an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, allowing you to use it with a peace of mind.
The XP9500iHT 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.
Alongside the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) for quick setup, the DuroMax XP9500iHT is bundled with additional accessories: propane hose, natural gas hose with NPT adapter, battery charger, key fob, funnel and tool kit. An official running cover is also available, as a separate purchase.
The DuroMax XP9500iHT versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the DuroMax XP9500iHT compare to inverter generators of similar power (between 7000 and 8000 W).
- Weighing in at 216 lbs, the DuroMax XP9500iHT is one of the heavier inverter generators available in the 7000-8000 rated wattage segment. If weight is a key factor for your needs, the Genmax GM10500XiT is noteworthy for being one of the top contenders in this power range, with a dry weight of 123.5 pounds.
- This inverter generator offers a rated noise level of 61 dBA, placing it among the most quiet alternatives in its type and power category.
- At 25% load, the XP9500iHT achieves one of the longest run times compared to inverters of similar power, sustaining operations for up to 21 hours.
- Run times are important, yet thanks to their dependence on the fuel capacity, they should be judged along with the fuel consumption of the device. This inverter generator, with an estimated fuel consumption of just 0.34 GPH (gallon per hour) at 25% load, is one of the more fuel-efficient generators, for the previously mentioned wattage range. If not satisfied with the afore-mentioned fuel consumption, you may wish to check out the Champion 201176. With a fuel consumption of as little as 0.31 GPH, it is one of the most efficient generators currently on the market.
