Prepper snapshot

Tri-fuel + inverter + 50A 240V outlet gives you flexible fueling, clean safe power for electronics, and the ability to power essential home circuits from one portable unit.

What Makes the DuroMax XP9500iHT Different?

There are many generators that can power a fridge. Very few can:

Run your essential home circuits through a transfer switch
Safely power computers, routers, and medical devices
Switch instantly between gasoline, propane, and natural gas
Do all that without deafening you during long outages

The XP9500iHT checks every one of those boxes.

Power output

Whole-home-ready wattage

On gasoline, the DuroMax 9,500 Watt Portable Tri Fuel Inverter Generator delivers 9,500 starting watts and 7,600 running watts. Enough to run a fridge, freezer, well pump, lights, furnace fan, and core kitchen appliances simultaneously.

Tri-fuel flexibility

Gasoline, propane, or natural gas

Run it off whichever fuel you can access:

Gasoline — maximum power output
Propane — cleaner burn & long storage life
Natural gas — effectively “unlimited” runtime

Inverter technology

Clean power for sensitive gear

Produces pure sine wave power with low harmonic distortion — safe for laptops, routers, CPAP machines, medical devices, and modern appliances.

Home backup

50A 240V outlet

Connects directly to a transfer switch or interlock kit so you can power essential home circuits safely and conveniently.

Fuel Options & Runtime

Let’s translate the manufacturer numbers into plain English.

Real-world runtime

Up to 21 hours at 25% load or ~11 hours at 50% load on gasoline. That’s an overnight run plus daylight operation on a single tank.

Gasoline

Gives the highest power output — ideal for starting heavy loads.

Propane

Still strong output, with easier long-term storage and fewer maintenance issues. Great for extended outages.

Natural Gas

Perfect for multi-day situations. As long as the gas line flows, so does your power.

Safety reminder

Always run outdoors with proper ventilation. The XP9500iHT includes CO-sensing shutdown, but placement is still critical for safety.

How Loud Is It?

Shockingly quiet for its size. Around 61 dB at 25% load — about as loud as a normal conversation.

Better for neighbor relations
Less attention during outages
Easier to live with for long runtimes

Noise discipline

A quieter generator helps you avoid broadcasting to everyone that you still have power.

Build Quality & Safety

Rugged DuroMax OHV engine with copper windings
Electric start + remote start key fob
CO monitoring that automatically shuts down the unit
Low-oil shutdown & overload protection
Never-flat wheels & folding handle
