Powerhouse’s new 500Wi portable inverter generator

Powerhouse Products recently introduced the 500Wi portable inverter generator that is light and small enough to be taken anywhere. It weighs only 21.4 pounds and measures 14.1 inches by 8.2 inches by 12.6 inches, but it delivers 500 watts of power, which is enough power to run a desktop or laptop computer, Xbox, or a small appliance like a TV, compact refrigerator or blender. The stable, pure sine wave AC output is safe enough to power even the most sensitive electronic equipment. Designed to run quiet and U.S. National Park Service compliant, the 500Wi is ideal for anyone who loves outdoor activities but still wants the small conveniences of home. Choose the variable-speed setting to reduce engine noise and save on fuel costs or set it to constant speed when 100-percent full power is needed. The 500Wi will run for 3.5 hours at full load and 7.5 hours at 1/4 load.

Standard features include a recoil start and manual choke, one 5-20R 20-amp duplex receptacle, internal circuit breaker, emergency stop control, spark arrester and a convenient carry handle. The 500Wi comes with an oil jug, 12-volt charge cable, spare spark plug, spark plug wrench and handle, oil drain extension and user’s manual. The 500Wi is backed by a 1-year consumer warranty and 6-month commercial warranty. Plus, it is EPA, CETL and CARB certified for use across North America.
