As the SUA12000ED and the SUA12000E are both A-iPower generators, they benefit from the same level of quality and attention to detail.
Power Comparison
The following charts are provided to show you at a glance how the main specs of the A-iPower SUA12000ED compare to the A-iPower SUA12000E.
- The A-iPower SUA12000ED is a dual fuel generator. Thus, it has the advantage of being able to run either on gasoline or propane, whereas the other generator only runs on gasoline.
- As both the A-iPower SUA12000ED and the A-iPower SUA12000E share the same running wattage of 9,000W, they will both allow you to simultaneously power the same appliances. In addition, as the 2 generators have the same starting watts (12,000 W), they will both give you the same boost needed to start the motor of your most demanding appliances.
- When running at a 50% load, the SUA12000E enjoys a higher approximate runtime on a full tank than the SUA12000ED. It can deliver power for around 9 hours, whereas the SUA12000ED will be able to power your appliances for around 8.5 hours.
- With a gasoline consumption at 50% load of 0.82 GPH (gallon per hour), the A-iPower SUA12000ED is less fuel efficient than the SUA12000E with its 0.78 GPH. The latter will therefore be more economic to run than the former.
- Neither the A-iPower SUA12000ED nor the A-iPower SUA12000E has a THD low enough to allow you to safely power your sensitive electronic devices (both <23%).
- With a noise of 69 dBA, the SUA12000ED allows for a quieter operation than the 78 dBA of the SUA12000E. The former will therefore be the most suitable for you if you take noise emission seriously.
Portability Comparison
- As these two products share the same overall bulk, neither of them will really take up less storage space.
- With a weight of 206 lbs, the SUA12000E is slightly less heavy than the SUA12000ED (which weighs 228 lbs).
- Both products benefit from a wheel kit, which greatly enhances their maneuverability. Both offer a folding handle, which improves your grip when you wish to move them around.
Feature Comparison
- Both devices can be started either via a pull-start mechanism or an electric starter.
- The SUA12000ED and the SUA12000E both offer 6 AC outlets. They also both feature GFCI outlets. Both of them also feature a DC output. In addition, it is worth noting that they can both produce either 120 or 240V. For more detailed information regarding all their respective receptacles, refer to the SUA12000ED's and the SUA12000E's product pages.
- Each of these 2 portable generators is equipped with a data center allowing you to conveniently monitor some aspects of the power output. Besides that, these 2 products are fitted with a fuel gauge allowing to see their fuel level at a glance.
