• Homeowners who want to be sure of their ability to power their fridges, cooking tools, heating and lighting equipment during power failures
• Professionals in need of safely powering high-intensity work or lighting equipment

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 Powerhorse s9500d

With its dual-fuel technology, the powerful and versatile Powerhorse s9500d provides an output of 120/240V. While gasoline-powered, it gives a running wattage of 7,500W along with a peak wattage of 9,500W. While propane-powered, it provides 6,750 rated watts and 8,550 starting watts.

The generator is rated for a noise of 97 dBA (which is pretty noisy). Its starting mechanisms include a manual recoil starter system and an easy-to-use and reliable electric starter (battery not included).

In terms of running time, the s9500d, equipped with a 6.6 gallons fuel tank, is capable of running continuously for around 10 hours at 50% load on a full gasoline tank (with fuel consumption estimated at around 0.66 gallons per hour). When utilizing propane, it provides around 5 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.94 GPH) of operation.

The powering of sensitive electronic devices with the s9500d is not recommended due to its high THD (<23%).

Outlets

The control panel features the following 6 AC outlets:

Moreover, it boasts 2 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports (USB-A) with which you may charge electronics, for example mobile phones or tablets, conveniently.

Even if this Powerhorse generator isn't quite RV Ready, it still allows for an easy RV connection via an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor, thanks to its L5-30R receptacle. Besides, equipped with a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the s9500d is engineered to be transfer switch ready, enabling simple hookup to your breaker box to provide backup power for your home during blackouts.

Portability

At L29.3 x W26.7 x H26.4 in, the standard open frame design of the Powerhorse s9500d delivers stability alongside easy maintenance access to components and good air cooling. The device has been designed for tough environments and demanding outdoor use.

As the generator's weight is 220 pounds, manually moving it or transporting it may be challenging, despite the fact that it is technically considered 'portable' (movable). Nonetheless, the limited maneuverability is compensated for by utilizing its wheel kit and its folding handle, which facilitates shifting once the generator is set on the ground.

Features

The s9500d's control panel

For convenient monitoring of its status and activity, the control panel of the s9500d includes a convenient meter, showing voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours metrics.

In addition to this info, a light indicator on the device will signal if its oil levels are insufficient.

Equipped with a built-in fuel gauge, the generator facilitates swift gas level checks.

Security-wise, this product benefits from an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), 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.

Apart from the typical documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), which lets you start it right away, the Powerhorse s9500d also is packed along with the following accessories: funnel, tool kit and propane hose.
