In a few words, the Generac GP9500ETF is a powerful portable generator perfectly suited for:

• Homeowners who want to be able to use the most necessary devices in their household, even during a blackout
• Professionals who want to ensure that a power failure will not prevent them from working

In the sections ahead, the power characteristics, availability of various outlets, the portability, and any additional features of the device shall be discussed.

Power & Run Time

The Generac GP9500ETF 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 9,500W and a peak wattage of 12,500W. When propane-powered, it benefits from 8,550 rated watts and 11,250 peak watts. Its natural gas operation offers 7,000W of rated wattage and 9,000W of starting wattage.

This generator can be started using either a conventional pull-start mechanism or an easy-to-use and reliable electric starter (battery included).

Regarding its running time, the GP9500ETF, with a 7.5 gallons fuel tank, can operate for up to 14 hours with a full gasoline tank (with fuel consumption estimated at around 0.54 gallons per hour). It also offers up to 6 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.78 GPH) of operation when using propane.

Outlets

The control panel features the following 4 AC outlets:

If your RV requires a 50-amp service, consider this Generac unit RV-ready, as it includes a 14-50R outlet. In addition, with its twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the GP9500ETF is configured to be transfer switch ready, allowing straightforward connection to your breaker box to supply backup power to your home during outages.

Portability

Measuring L27.5 x W27.1 x H27.6 in, the classic open frame build of the Generac GP9500ETF delivers stability and easy maintenance access to components, facilitating air circulation. The design is ideal for rough environments and demanding outdoor use.

Despite its 219 lbs, the generator falls under the category of 'portable,' signifying its movability, although its weight may hinder easy portability. 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

The GP9500ETF's control panel

Integrated into the control center of the GP9500ETF are a convenient meter showing you voltage, frequency and lifetime hours, facilitating the monitoring of its status and activity.

The generator includes a built-in fuel gauge, a quick, easy and convenient method of checking the device’s gas level.

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

The GP9500ETF 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.

Apart from the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to facilitate setup, the Generac GP9500ETF features extra accessories: propane hose and oil.
