Description

Zoom on the Generac GP9200E

In a nutshell, the Generac GP9200E is a powerful portable generator mostly geared towards:

  • Prudent homeowners who want a backup power source in case of a power outage
  • Professionals who want to be able to deliver results, even during a power failure

In the following paragraphs, we shall explore the power characteristics, available outlets, portability, and any additional features of the device, along with its emission compliance information.

Power & Run Time

The Generac GP9200E in use

The Generac GP9200E

The Generac GP9200E's engine, 459 cc OHV 4-stroke, fueled by gasoline, can deliver 120/240V. It provides a running wattage of 9,200W and reaches a peak wattage of 11,250W.

This generator features a simple traditional pull-start mechanism and also a simple and elegant electric starter (battery included).

Thanks to a fuel capacity of 7.9 gallons, the GP9200E can operate for around 8.5 hours at 50% load with a full tank (fuel consumption around 0.93 GPH).

Outlets

The control panel features the following 5 AC outlets:

Two Duplexes 120V 20A (5-20R) GFCI
120/240V 30A (L14-30R) receptacle

Because the GP9200E is equipped with a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, it is transfer switch ready: it can power your home during a power outage, as it can be easily connected to your breaker box to power your household.

Portability

The design of the Generac GP9200E is a typical, open frame, with the dimensions of L27.2 x W27 x H26.5 in, offering support and stability and enabling the possibility of raising it above ground level. The featured design is ideal for the outdoors and all tough environments.

As the generator's weight is 213 pounds, manually moving it or transporting it may be challenging, despite the fact that it is technically considered 'portable' (movable). However, its challenging mobility is solved by its wheel kit (⌀9.5") and its folding handle, which will ease its displacement, once it is on the floor.

Features

Panel of the Generac GP9200E

The GP9200E's control panel

To help you monitor the GP9200E's status and activity, its control panel is equipped with a digital data center, giving you information on the lifetime run hours.

A built-in fuel gauge allows for a quick, easy and convenient check of the fuel level of the generator.

From a security point of view, the generator is equipped with an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, giving you a peace of mind during use.

The GP9200E also benefits from Generac’s COsense® carbon monoxide monitoring. This technology senses and manages CO output and shuts down the unit when necessary, to protect you from CO poisoning.

Along the basic documentation and an owner's manual, useful for starting the generator right away, the Generac GP9200E's package also includes these accessories: funnel, extension cord and oil.

Emissions

The Generac GP9200E is EPA-approved and CARB-compliant. Thus, selling and purchasing this generator is allowed in each of the 50 states, including California.

Moreover, it features a spark arrestor and therefore, can be used in forested areas.

The Generac GP9200E versus other generators

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the Generac GP9200E compare to generators of similar power (between 8500 and 9500 W).

  • As for its weight, the Generac GP9200E weighs only 213 pounds, making it one of the lighter generators in the 8500-9500 rated wattage category. If you are concerned by weight, one of the champions in the above-mentioned power range is the Westinghouse WGen9500TFc, with a dry weight of just 203.4 pounds.
  • As for its autonomy, the GP9200E, with an autonomy of around 8.5 hours at a 50% load, is placed on the low end among the generators of its kind. Concerning the run times, one of the several devices with a comparable output, offering the highest autonomy, is the Pulsar G12KBN, which is able to run for around 12 hours.
  • Even though run times are undoubtedly important, they are dependent on the fuel capacity to a large extent. For a more wholesome picture, we must take into consideration the fuel consumption of the generator. This generator is somewhat less fuel efficient than devices of comparable output: its estimated fuel consumption reaches 0.93 GPH at a 50% load. If fuel consumption is your top priority, we suggest to check out the Pulsar G12KBN, which has a fuel consumption of only 0.67 GPH and thus, is one of the most efficient devices in our database.
According to our stats, the following comparison is pretty popular: Generac GP9200E vs Generac XT8500EFI.

Price comparison

As you can see from this interactive chart, when compared to other 8500-9500W generators, the Generac GP9200E is on the average side of the price range.

Therefore, this generator nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of product.

What is the noise rating of the GP9200E?

Due to the lack of standardization in noise emission measurement, Generac does not provide their units' noise levels.

Is there an LP conversion kit for GP9200E with the 459cc engine (Asked March 27, 2023)

There are no official conversion kits. You may find third-party ones, but we cannot recommend them. Modifying the unit fuel system would void your warranty, and would be an emission violation. You may want to check our full list of dual fuel generators, which are designed to run on both gasoline and propane.
