Zoom on the A-iPower SUA2300i

In short, the A-iPower SUA2300i is a quiet, compact and lightweight portable inverter generator adequately designed for:

  • Tailgating and campground aficionados with the desire of enjoying power anywhere they go
  • Handcrafting enthusiasts who wish to work on-the-go
  • RV travellers who wish to upgrade their experience to another level

In the forthcoming sections, you'll delve into its power characteristics, the various outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the additional features it boasts.

Power & Run Time

The A-iPower SUA2300i in use

The A-iPower SUA2300i

The A-iPower SUA2300i's engine, 80 cc Senci OHV 4-stroke, fueled by gasoline, can deliver 120V. It provides a running wattage of 1,800W and reaches a peak wattage of 2,300W. Additionally, as the generator is parallel capable (parallel kit included), it can be linked to a second unit for more power.

Operating at a noise rating of 52 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a quiet suburb), this inverter generator starts up with a manual recoil starter system.

Equipped with a 1.1 gallon fuel tank, the SUA2300i ensures continuous operation for up to 10 hours with a full tank (fuel usage approximately 0.11 gallons per hour).

Featuring a <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the SUA2300i delivers a clean sine wave, guaranteeing the safety of your sensitive electronics plugged into its AC outlets.

Outlets

The control panel features the upcoming 2 AC outlets:

120V 20A (5-20R) receptacle
120V 30A (L5-30R) receptacle

Moreover, it comes equipped with 2 DC outlets: there's a 5V USB port (USB-A) with which you may charge electronics, for example mobile phones or tablets, conveniently and a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle enabling simple battery charging for added ease.

Even though this A-iPower generator isn't quite RV Ready, its L5-30R receptacle allows an easy RV connection via an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor (included).

Portability

With its enclosed inverter generator design (L21.7 x W14 x H20.9 in), the A-iPower SUA2300i offers superior aesthetics and operates with minimized noise levels, distinguishing itself from standard, open frame generators. This type of design is the most modern and convenient way to recreationally generate power.

Weighing 50.7 lbs, the SUA2300i is practical, ensuring it can follow you wherever power is required. Moreover, its set of 2 wheels (⌀4") and its telecospic handle will allow you to easily shift it once it's on the ground.

Features

Panel of the A-iPower SUA2300i

The SUA2300i's control panel

Enhancing monitoring capabilities, the SUA2300i features a digital data center within its control panel, furnishing essential details on the power output, lifetime run hours, voltage and fuel level for tracking activity and status.

In addition to this info, when the generator is ready, the generator is on overload and its oil levels are insufficient, you will be informed by the featured light indicators.

In terms of security, the generator features an automatic low oil shut-off, ensuring peace of mind during its use.

Apart from the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to facilitate setup, the A-iPower SUA2300i features extra accessories: RV adapter, battery charging cables, tool kit, funnel and oil.

Product Videos

The A-iPower SUA2300i versus other generators

The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the A-iPower SUA2300i compare to inverter generators of similar power (between 1500 and 2500 W).

  • As its weight is 50.7 pounds, the A-iPower SUA2300i falls in the expected weight range of the inverters in the 1500-2500 rated wattage category. If weight matters to you, one of the champions in this power range is the Genmax GM2000i with only 34.2 pounds.
  • At a lowest noise rating of 52 dBA, this inverter generator is one of the quieter devices of similar type and power. If noise level is one your key decisive factors, you may find the Honda EU2200i appealing. It's rated at 48 dBA, making it one of the quietest generators in its power range.
  • With up to 10 hours of runtime at a 25% load on a full tank, the SUA2300i is in line with the average autonomy range for inverter generators of comparable power. If you wish to prioritize autonomy, the DuroMax XP2300iH shines as one of the top contenders, offering one of the highest run times among generators with similar power output, totaling up to 13 hours.
  • While the run time is an important parameter, it is dependent on the fuel tank's capacity and thus, doesn't say much on its own unless we consider fuel consumption as well. With an estimated fuel consumption of 0.11 GPH at a 25% load, this inverter generator aligns with the average gasoline usage range of comparable products. If gasoline efficiency is at the top of your list, you may want to have a look at the Westinghouse iGen2800, which has great fuel efficiency, with a gas consumption of only 0.08 gallons per hour.

Here's a list of the most popular specific comparisons:

Price comparison

As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 1500-2500W inverter generators, the A-iPower SUA2300i is on the average side of the price range.

Therefore, this generator nicely fits in the expected budget for this kind of product.

Can it run an AC window unit along with a regular size refrigerator? (Asked April 26, 2020)

Both appliances will require additional starting watts. You will need the actual wattage requirements (running and starting watts) for each of them, as it could be tight. Once you have them, you can use our wattage calculator to find suitable units.

I'm looking for a high altitude kit for my SUA2300i. I camp about 7,000 ft. (Asked May 26, 2020)

You should contact A-iPower, as they'll be the best placed to advise you on a suitable altitude kit/rejetting procedure.

Are you planning adding Bluetooth connectivity soon? (Asked September 24, 2020)

This question should be asked to A-iPower. We are an independent website, without any relationships with the manufacturers.

Is there a fuel pump on the gas line to be able to run an extended run gas tank? What is the size of the gas cap? (Asked September 28, 2020)

Fuel is gravity-fed. We unfortunately do not know the dimensions of the gas cap. They seem pretty standard and identical to the ones of the Yamaha EF2000is.

Can it run a sump pump? (Asked March 01, 2021)

The approximate wattage required for starting a 1/2 HP sump pump is 2150 watts and the approximate wattage for running it is 1050. Assuming that your sump pump matches these wattages (you should determine the actual running and starting watts of your pump), the SUA2300i will be able to power it.

What does it mean not RV ready? (Asked May 18, 2021)

It means that the unit does not feature a TT-30R outlet. We recommend reading our definition of RV-Ready.

Who makes the motor? (Asked July 09, 2021)

The engine is manufactured by Senci.

What is the replacement plug and gap (Asked December 26, 2021)

Spark plug should be E6RTC or equivalent. Spark plug gap is 0.028-0.031 inch.

After how many running hrs does the oil need to be changed? (Asked September 16, 2022)

Initial oil replacement should be after one month or 20 hours, then every 6 months or 100 hours.

Hi. What is the name of the company in China that Manufactures the Generator? (Asked December 18, 2022)

That would be Senci.

    I’ve had this generator for 2 years now. It has no failed to start. I have used it with my electric pressure washer out in the field a few times and during a power failure here at home. It has worked perfect. It’s quiet enough for me and the wife and is vey handy with wheels and pull bar although it isn’t overly heavy. I have changed to oil twice and no issues. I have nothing bad to say about this generator.

    + PROS:
    • quiet, works on one or two pulls, fuel efficient, easy to use, has the ability to parallel with supplied parts if two are used.
    - CONS:
    • None for me.
