In the following paragraphs, we shall explore the power characteristics, available outlets, portability, and any additional features of the device.

Power & Run Time

The Powerhorse 9250

Featuring a 420 cc OHV 4-stroke engine, the Powerhorse 9250 operates using gasoline, providing 120/240V, with a running wattage of 7,500W and a starting wattage of 9,250W.

This generator can be started via a traditional recoil pull-start mechanism, or a simple and elegant electric starter (battery not included).

Featuring a 6.6 gallons fuel tank, the 9250 can provide power for around 9.6 hours at 50% load on a full tank (with fuel consumption averaging 0.69 gallons per hour).

With a <5% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the 9250 delivers a clean sine wave—essential for safeguarding your delicate electronics when plugged into its AC outlets.

Outlets

The control panel is equipped with the following 6 AC outlets:

Additionally, it offers 2 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports enabling convenient charging of devices like mobile phones and tablets.

While not classified as 'RV Ready,' this Powerhorse generator can still provides the advantage of RV connection via its L5-30R receptacle, ensuring power supply to your RV with an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor. Besides, the 9250'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

At L30 x W26.2 x H26.1 in, the standard open frame design of the Powerhorse 9250 delivers stability alongside easy maintenance access to components and good air cooling. The design is ideal for rough environments and demanding outdoor use.

While the generator is considered to be technically 'portable' (in the sense that you can move it), manually lifting and transporting it may be challenging, due to its high weight of 225 lbs. However, the limited maneuverability is remedied with its wheel kit and its folding handle, facilitating convenient shifting once the generator is positioned on the ground.

Features

The 9250's control panel

To facilitate status and activity monitoring, a convenient meter, which displays voltage, frequency and lifetime hours are embedded in the control panel of the 9250.

In addition to this info, the device's light indicator will illuminate to indicate if the oil level is too low.

The inclusion of a built-in fuel gauge in the generator streamlines gas level checks for quick and convenient assessments.

Considering security aspects, the generator boasts an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), offering peace of mind throughout operation.

With the basic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), letting you start the generator quickly, the Powerhorse 9250 also comes with several accessories, including: funnel and tool kit.
