Manufacturer Review of the Powerhouse 500Wi Portable Generator


The handiest generator is the 500WI. Its ideal for running laptops, TVs, game consoles, or for charging your cell phone or other electronic devices. Weighing at just 21 pounds, the 500 WI has a built-in handle for easy transport. It has many of the features of larger Powerhouse generators and delivers 450 watts continuous or 500 watts max power. All Powerhouse generators are inverter equipped to deliver clean, quiet portable power that is safe for sensitive electronics. They carry all necessary environmental and safety certifications for all markets in the United States and Canada, making them among the safest backup power providers for people and the environment.

Powerhouse generators have a low oil shutoff mechanism that will shut the unit down if the oil level is too low. This protects the unit from damage because of inadequate lubrication. They also have a built-in fuel economy switch that allows the generators to operate at variable speeds depending on the load or 100% full power. They feature exclusive inverter protect which bypasses the inverter in the event of an overload, allowing the engine to continue running. They are quiet enough to make them ideal for camping or recreation, and nearly all models meet National Parks Service Guidelines for campground use.

Powerhouse generators include a quick start guide to make set up and start up fast and easy, and an owners manual for detailed information. They include an accessory kit consisting of an oil jug, oil drain extension, 12 volt charge cable, spare spark plug and plug wrench, and a spare fuse to get you up and running right out of the box. Powerhouse generators. Powering life in the great outdoors.
