Description
Zoom on the A-iPower GXS11300RT
To sum up, the A-iPower GXS11300RT is a powerful portable generator tailored for:
- Homeowners who wish to power almost all appliances in their house under any circumstances
- Homeowners who want to be sure of their ability to power their fridges, cooking tools, heating and lighting equipment during power failures
- Professionals who want to be able to deliver results, even during a power failure
In the following paragraphs, we shall explore the power characteristics, available outlets, portability, and any additional features of the device.
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.
Featuring a noise rating of 78 dBA (less noisy than a dishwasher), the generator is equipped with both a manual recoil starter system and a hassle-free and practical electric starter (battery included) for starting. To add further convenience, the GXS11300RT can be remotely started (key fob included).
The GXS11300RT, with a fuel capacity of 9.5 gallons, reaches a run time of up to 18 hours utilizing gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.53 GPH). Alternatively, it can reach a run time of up to 8 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.59 GPH) with propane.
The GXS11300RT is unsuitable for the powering of sensitive electronic devices due to its high THD (<23%).
Outlets
The control panel is equipped with the following 5 AC outlets:
Moreover, it presents 3 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports (1 x USB-A and 1 x USB-C) with which you may charge electronics, for example mobile phones or tablets, conveniently and a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle with which charging your batteries is made easy.
This A-iPower generator isn't quite RV Ready, but it features an L5-30R receptacle, allowing a simple RV connection through an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor (included). Besides, with its twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the GXS11300RT is configured to be transfer switch ready, allowing straightforward connection to your breaker box to supply backup power to your home during outages.
Portability
With dimensions of L28.8 x W28 x H26.7 in, the standard open frame design of the A-iPower GXS11300RT provides stability and easy maintenance access to components, as well as good air circulation. The generator is designed for outdoor use and demanding environments.
Even at 224.9 lbs, the generator is categorized as 'portable,' suggesting its movability, although its weight may impede its 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 GXS11300RT's control center features a convenient meter, showing voltage, frequency, and lifetime hours metrics to aid you with the monitoring of its status and activity.
In addition to this info, a light indicator allows you to instantly see if its oil levels are insufficient.
The fuel level of the generator can be determined quickly, easily, and conveniently with the help of its built-in fuel gauge.
Security-wise, this product benefits from an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), which gives you a complete peace of mind when using it.
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.
Besides the classic documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to get you promptly started, the A-iPower GXS11300RT also comes with some accessories: battery charging cables, oil, RV adapter, funnel, key fob, tool kit and propane hose are included.
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).
- At a dry weight of 224.9 pounds, the A-iPower GXS11300RT is one of the heavier multi-fuel devices which can produce 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 noise emissions are important to you, one of the least noisy generators of this power range is the DuroMax XP11000iH with only 61 dBA.
- In terms of run time, the GXS11300RT surpasses similarly powerful multi-fuel devices, boasting one of the higher run times at up to 18 hours. If you consider autonomy on a single full tank as one of the deciding factors, one of the generators in the same power range that offers the highest run time is the Westinghouse iGen11000TFc, with up to 19 hours.
- While run time is vital, it hinges on the fuel capacity. To grasp the full picture, we must also factor in fuel efficiency. 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.
