In the upcoming sections, you'll discover its power characteristics, the array of outlets it presents, its overall portability, and the additional features it possesses.

Power & Run Time

With its dual-fuel technology, the powerful and versatile A-iPower SUA6000ED provides an output of 120/240V. While gasoline-powered, it gives a running wattage of 5,500W along with a peak wattage of 6,000W. While propane-powered, it provides 5,000 rated watts and 5,500 starting watts.

A-iPower’s Switch On Demand technology allows you to switch from propane to gasoline or from gasoline to propane while the generator is running.

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 user-friendly and hassle-free electric starter (battery included).

The SUA6000ED, with a fuel capacity of 4 gallons, reaches a run time of up to 12 hours utilizing gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.62 GPH). Alternatively, it can reach a run time of up to 17.5 hours (estimation based on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.27 GPH) with propane.

The SUA6000ED is unsuitable for the powering of sensitive electronic devices due to its high THD (<20%).

Outlets

The control panel features 3 AC outlets as follows:

Moreover, it comes equipped with 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle with which you may charge your batteries with ease.

With its twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the SUA6000ED is configured to be transfer switch ready, allowing straightforward connection to your breaker box to supply backup power to your home during outages.

Portability

Measuring L24.4 x W25.9 x H24.5 in, the classic open frame build of the A-iPower SUA6000ED delivers stability and easy maintenance access to components, facilitating air circulation. The design is ideal for rough environments and demanding outdoor use.

While the generator is considered to be technically 'portable' (in the sense that you can move it), manually lifting and transporting it may be challenging, due to its high weight of 156 lbs. Still, once it is on the ground, its wheel kit (⌀8") and its folding handle can easily solve the issue of low mobility and allow for easy relocation of the device.

Features

The SUA6000ED's control panel

Designed with a digital data center, the control panel of the SUA6000ED grants you access to crucial data on the lifetime run hours, ensuring practical monitoring of its status and activity.

In addition to this info, the generator's light indicator provides visual feedback when the oil level is too low.

With its built-in fuel gauge, the generator provides quick and convenient gas level checks.

As far as security is concerned, the generator can be used with a peace of mind, as it features an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off.

Apart from the typical documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab), which lets you start it right away, the A-iPower SUA6000ED also is packed along with the following accessories: battery charging cables, oil and propane hose.
