Description
Product DescriptionGreat Features – Outstanding Quality – Unbeatable Value. The new POWERHOUSE 500Wi inverter generator combines quality, performance, and great features for an unbeatable value. With a maximum power of 500 Watts and a continuous power of 450 watts, this unit is EPA, CSA, California CARB approved & ISO 9001. It’s Quiet; Special sound reduction materials so they run super quiet, much quieter than conventional generators. This means that you can use the 500Wi for any of your outdoor activities without the worry of annoying your neighbors. It Produces Clean Power; The 500Wi Inverter generator produces a clean sine wave just like the power you get from your home outlets. This clean sine wave power allows our generator to be used to the most sensitive electronic devices including computers and all electronic based appliances. It’s Fuel Efficient; Built to run efficiently. It produces the amount of power needed at any given time to power what is connected to them. This saves fuel when running at slower, low load conditions, while full speed and output is available when it’s needed. It’s compact and portable; Inverter technology makes it possible to reduce the size and weight of the 500Wi. It is compact, lightweight, and designed for portability. The convenient carry handle make it easy to take along to all of your outdoor events—where ever you need portable power. A high-efficiency combustion system produces exceptionally low emissions. Clean, quiet, economical power…when you need it. Accessories included; Oil Jug, 12 V Charge Cable, Spare Spark Plug, Spark Plug Wrench & Handle, Manual, Oil Drain Extension, owner’s manual and a Quick Start

Compact and lightweight enough at just under 22 pounds, the Powerhouse 500Wi inverter generator provides clean, portable power that’s perfect for campground the campground, tailgate party or any outdoor activity where you need your own electrical supply. Designed to run quietly, the 500Wi is U.S. National Park Service compliant. With a maximum output of 500 watts, the 500Wi provides enough power to run a desktop or laptop computer, Xbox, or a small appliance like a TV, compact refrigerator, or blender.
The 500Wi’s high-efficiency combustion system produces exceptionally low emissions. A recoil start makes it easy to power up and a convenient fuel primer bulb and manual choke ensures a fast start. 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. Other features include an internal circuit breaker, emergency stop control, spark arrester, and a convenient carry handle.
This inverter generator has one 5-20R 20-amp duplex receptacle. It’s backed by a 1-year consumer warranty and a 6-month commercial warranty, and it’s EPA, CARB, and CETL compliant for use across North America.
Inverter Generator Technology
Where conventional generators produce a single square wave of AC power for every engine rotation, an inverter generator produces a clean sine wave just like that power from your home outlets with hundreds of overlapping AC sine waves per engine rotation that results in more electrical power produced from each rotation. The electronic processor in the inverter module “converts” three-phase, high-frequency AC power from the alternator into DC power, which is then changed by the inverter module to a clean and stable 120-volt, 60-hertz AC power signal. The technology programmed into the inverter allows it to control all functions of the generator for stable, consistent, clean power.
This clean sine wave power allows the generator to be used with any and all computer and electronic based appliances in today’s homes, businesses, construction sites, and outdoor recreation. An added benefit is the ability of these generators to produce 120-volt, 60-hertz current at various engine speeds, thus saving fuel running at slower speeds and low load conditions but with the power for full speed and output when needed.
