Powerhorse s10500id - 8300/10500W Dual Fuel Inverter Generator With Remote Start

In summary, the Powerhorse s10500id is a powerful portable inverter generator especially useful 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
• RV travellers looking for even more independence

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 Powerhorse s10500id

Thanks to its dual-fuel technology, the Powerhorse s10500id provides a 120/240V output and offers both versatility and power. When utilizing gasoline, it delivers a running wattage of 8,300W and a starting wattage of 10,500W. Alternatively, when operating on propane, it provides 7,500 running watts and 9,450 starting watts. Moreover, since it is parallel capable (parallel kit not included), its power may be increased if linked to a second compatible unit.

Enjoying a noise rating of 62 dBA (just slightly more noisy than an office), this inverter generator offers the versatility of starting with either a traditional recoil pull-start mechanism or a convenient and easy-to-use electric starter (battery included). To add further convenience, the s10500id can be remotely started (key fob included).

The running time of the s10500id, with its 7.13 gallons fuel capacity, can reach around 12 hours at 50% load on a full tank of gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.59 GPH). With propane, it can reach around 6 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.78 GPH).

Delicate electronics can be plugged in the AC outlets safely, as the s10500id generates a clean sine wave, reaching a <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).

Outlets

The control panel includes the following 5 AC outlets:

Furthermore, it showcases 2 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports (USB-A) perfect for conveniently charging mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices.

For RV owners with a 50-amp service, this Powerhorse unit is RV-ready, boasting a 14-50R outlet. In addition, since it features a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the s10500id is tailored to be transfer switch ready, making it easy to connect it to your breaker box for home power support during outages.

Portability

With its enclosed inverter generator design (L30 x W26.3 x H28.8 in), the Powerhorse s10500id offers superior aesthetics and operates with minimized noise levels, distinguishing itself from standard, open frame generators. The design follows the contemporary trends and is perfect for recreationally generating power.

Despite its weight of 209.5 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. Despite the restricted maneuverability, its set of 2 wheels and its folding handle provides a solution, allowing for convenient shifting once the generator is positioned on the ground.

Features

The s10500id's control panel

To help you monitor the s10500id's status and activity, its control panel is equipped with a convenient meter, which displays voltage, frequency and lifetime hours.

In addition to this info, light indicators on the device will signal if its oil levels are insufficient, the generator is ready and the generator is on overload.

The built-in fuel gauge of the inverter generator ensures simple and quick gas level assessments.

Security-wise, this product benefits from an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, which gives you a complete peace of mind when using it.

It also includes a carbon monoxide sensor. This sensor is designed to monitor the level of carbon monoxide present during the generator's operation. If the generator is positioned incorrectly and carbon monoxide levels rise to an unsafe level, the generator will automatically shut down.

Beyond the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to assist with setup, the Powerhorse s10500id ships with supplementary accessories: tool kit, funnel, key fob and propane hose.
