Power & Run Time
The A-iPower GXS11300R
The A-iPower GXS11300R's engine, 459 cc OHV 4-stroke with cast iron sleeve, fueled by gasoline, can deliver 120/240V. It provides a running wattage of 9,000W and reaches a peak wattage of 11,300W.
At a noise rating of 78 dBA (less noisy than a vacuum cleaner), this generator can be started via a standard recoil pull-rope starting mechanism, or a convenient and easy-to-use electric starter (battery included). To add further convenience, the GXS11300R can be remotely started (key fob included).
The GXS11300R's fuel tank, with a capacity of 9.5 gallons, supports uninterrupted operation for up to 18 hours when fully fueled (fuel consumption at an estimated 0.53 gallons per hour).
The GXS11300R is unsuitable for the powering of sensitive electronic devices due to its high THD (<23%).
Outlets
The control panel features the upcoming 5 AC outlets:
Additionally, it features 3 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports (1 x USB-A and 1 x USB-C) perfect for conveniently charging mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices and a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle allowing you to easily charge your batteries.
With its 14-50R outlet, this A-iPower unit is RV-ready for owners with a 50-amp service in their RVs. In addition, since it boasts a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the GXS11300R is engineered to be transfer switch ready, ensuring easy integration with your breaker box to provide backup power to your home during outages.
Portability
At L28.8 x W28 x H26.7 in, the standard open frame design of the A-iPower GXS11300R delivers stability alongside easy maintenance access to components and good air cooling. This type of design is ideal for tough environments and heavy outdoor use.
With a weight of 216 lbs, the generator is still labeled as 'portable,' denoting its ability to be moved, although its heaviness might restrict easy portability. However, the limited maneuverability is remedied with its wheel kit (⌀11") and its folding handle, facilitating convenient shifting once the generator is positioned on the ground.
Features
The GXS11300R's control panel
To help you monitor the GXS11300R's status and activity, its control panel is equipped with a convenient meter, providing voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours data.
In addition to this info, when the oil level is too low, you will be informed by the featured light indicator.
The built-in fuel gauge of the generator ensures simple and quick gas level assessments.
From a security standpoint, the product offers an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, allowing you to use it with a peace of mind.
It also includes a carbon monoxide sensor. This sensor is designed to monitor the level of carbon monoxide present during the generator's operation. If the generator is positioned incorrectly and carbon monoxide levels rise to an unsafe level, the generator will automatically shut down.
In addition to the traditional documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to help you get started promptly, the A-iPower GXS11300R also includes several accessories: battery charging cables, RV adapter, key fob, oil, tool kit and funnel.

The A-iPower GXS11300R versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the A-iPower GXS11300R compare to generators of similar power (between 8500 and 9500 W).
- As its weight is 216 pounds, the A-iPower GXS11300R falls in the expected weight range of the devices in the 8500-9500 rated wattage category. Weight-conscious users may find the Westinghouse iGen11000DFc appealing, as it is one of the top contenders in this power range, weighing just 187.4 pounds.
- This generator, with its lowest possible noise rated at 78 dBA falls into the more noisy category, compared to other devices of a similar running wattage. If you value reduced noise levels, the DuroMax XP11000iH could be worth considering. It's one of the quietest generators in its power range, rated at 61 dBA.
- At 25% load, the GXS11300R boasts a higher run time than most similarly powerful products, reaching up to 18 hours. If runtime is a priority for you, the Westinghouse iGen12000TFc stands out as one of the generators with the longest run time in its power range, providing up to 19 hours of continuous use.
- Even though run times are undoubtedly important, they are dependent on the fuel capacity to a large extent. For a more wholesome picture, we must take into consideration the fuel consumption of the generator. In terms of fuel efficiency within its wattage range, this generator falls short: it consumes approximately 0.53 GPH at a 25% load. If you're placing a high priority on fuel consumption, the DuroMax XP11000iH, with a low fuel consumption rate of 0.39 GPH, could be an option to consider.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 8500-9500W generators, the A-iPower GXS11300R is on the cheap side of the price range.
It can therefore be a really good buy if you're looking to acquire a budget generator.
