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 GXS5000RD

Thanks to its dual-fuel technology, the A-iPower GXS5000RD provides a 120/240V output and offers both versatility and power. When utilizing gasoline, it delivers a running wattage of 4,000W and a starting wattage of 5,000W. Alternatively, when operating on propane, it provides 3,600 running watts and 4,500 starting watts.

Featuring a noise rating of 68 dBA (less noisy than background music), the generator is equipped with both a conventional pull-start mechanism and a simple and elegant electric starter (battery included) for starting. For added user convenience, the GXS5000RD is equipped with remote starting capabilities (key fob included).

In terms of its run time capability, the GXS5000RD, furnished with a 6.3 gallons fuel tank, can maintain operations for up to 20 hours on a full tank of gasoline (with fuel consumption averaging 0.32 gallons per hour). It also provides up to 11 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.43 GPH) of operation with propane.

Due to the high THD (<23%) of the GXS5000RD, it is advised against using it for powering sensitive electronic devices.

Outlets

The control panel is equipped with the following 6 AC outlets:

Even if this A-iPower generator isn't quite RV Ready, it still allows for an easy RV connection via an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor (included), thanks to its L5-30R receptacle. Besides, as the GXS5000RD holds a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, it is transfer switch ready: you'll easily be able to connect it to your breaker box to power your home during a power outage.

Portability

With dimensions of L24 x W23.6 x H24 in, the standard open frame design of the A-iPower GXS5000RD provides stability and easy maintenance access to components, as well as good air circulation. This type of design is ideal for tough environments and heavy outdoor use.

Despite its weight of 124 lbs, the generator is considered 'portable,' signifying its capability to be moved, albeit its heaviness may hinder easy transport. Still, once it is on the ground, its wheel kit (⌀9") and its folding handle can easily solve the issue of low mobility and allow for easy relocation of the device.

Features

The GXS5000RD's control panel

The control panel of the GXS5000RD includes a convenient meter showing you voltage, frequency and lifetime hours, helpful for the monitoring of its status and activity.

In addition to this info, the device's light indicator will illuminate to indicate if the oil level is too low.

Thanks to its built-in fuel gauge, the generator allows you to quickly, conveniently, and easily check the gas level at a glance.

From a security point of view, the generator is equipped with an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, giving you a peace of mind during use.

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 GXS5000RD also comes with some accessories: propane hose, key fob, RV adapter, tool kit, funnel and oil are included.
