Description
Zoom on the A-iPower GXS11300RT
In summary, the A-iPower GXS11300RT is a powerful portable generator especially useful for:
- Small homeowners in search of a full power backup solution
- Homeowners who want to be able to use the most necessary devices in their household, even during a blackout
- Professionals who want to ensure that a power failure will not prevent them from working
The subsequent sections will explore in detail its power characteristics, the diverse outlets it provides, its overall portability, and the supplementary features it offers.
Power & Run Time
The A-iPower GXS11300RT
The A-iPower GXS11300RT delivers 120/240V and benefits from a tri-fuel technology that allows it to run on gasoline, propane, or natural gas. When gasoline-powered, it enjoys a running wattage of 9,000W and a peak wattage of 11,300W. When propane-powered, it benefits from 8,100 rated watts and 10,100 peak watts. Its natural gas operation offers 7,200W of rated wattage and 9,000W of starting wattage.
At a noise rating of 78 dBA (less noisy than a dishwasher), this generator can be started via a classic hand-operated recoil starting mechanism, or a convenient and easy-to-use electric starter (battery included). Furthermore, the GXS11300RT can be remotely started, providing users with added ease of use (key fob included).
In terms of run time, the GXS11300RT, boasting a 9.5 gallons fuel tank, can run for up to 18 hours on a full tank of gasoline (with fuel consumption averaging 0.53 gallons per hour). Additionally, it provides up to 8 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.59 GPH) of operation with propane.
As the GXS11300RT exhibits a THD of less than 23%, which is high, it is best avoided for powering sensitive electronic devices.
Outlets
The control panel features the upcoming 5 AC outlets:
Furthermore, it has 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 with which you may charge your batteries with ease.
While not classified as 'RV Ready,' this A-iPower generator can still provides the advantage of RV connection via its L5-30R receptacle, ensuring power supply to your RV with an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor (included). Besides, due to the featured twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the GXS11300RT is transfer switch ready: you may connect it to a breaker box to power your household during a power outage.
Portability
Measuring L28.8 x W28 x H26.7 in, the classic open frame build of the A-iPower GXS11300RT delivers stability and easy maintenance access to components, facilitating air circulation. The design is ideal for rough environments and demanding outdoor use.
Despite its 224.9 lbs, the generator falls under the category of 'portable,' signifying its movability, although its weight may hinder easy portability. Despite the restricted maneuverability, its wheel kit (⌀11") and its folding handle provides a solution, allowing for convenient shifting once the generator is positioned on the ground.
Features
The GXS11300RT's control panel
The control panel of the GXS11300RT is equipped with a convenient meter, offering voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours readings, aiding in monitoring its status and activity.
In addition to this info, the device's light indicator will illuminate to indicate if its oil levels are insufficient.
With its built-in fuel gauge, the generator provides quick and convenient gas level checks.
Considering security aspects, the generator boasts an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), offering peace of mind throughout operation.
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 GXS11300RT also includes several accessories: funnel, battery charging cables, key fob, propane hose, tool kit, RV adapter and oil.
The A-iPower GXS11300RT versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the A-iPower GXS11300RT compare to multi-fuel generators of similar power (between 8500 and 9500 W).
- Considering its dry weight of 224.9 pounds, the A-iPower GXS11300RT is one of the heavier multi-fuel generators producing between 8500 and 9500 running watts. If weight matters to you, one of the champions in this power range is the Westinghouse iGen11000DFc with only 187.4 pounds.
- This generator, with its lowest noise level at 78 dBA, is noisier than most generators of comparable 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.
- Compared to multi-fuel devices of similar power, the GXS11300RT stands out with one of the higher run times, lasting up to 18 hours at 25% load. Furthermore, considering the run times, one of the generators which have a roughly same power output, with the highest autonomy, is the DuroMax XP11500EH, as it provides up to 20 hours.
- Run time is a key metric, but it's dependent on the generator's fuel capacity. Therefore, discussing fuel efficiency is necessary to get the full picture. This generator is rather wasteful, compared to other devices within the aforementioned output range, when it comes to gasoline consumption, as it reaches roughly 0.53 GPH at a 25% load. If not satisfied with the afore-mentioned fuel consumption, you may wish to check out the DuroMax XP11000iH. With a fuel consumption of as little as 0.39 GPH, it is one of the most efficient generators currently on the market.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 8500-9500W multi-fuel generators, the A-iPower GXS11300RT 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.
