Description
Zoom on the A-iPower SUA7000L
To sum up, the A-iPower SUA7000L is a portable generator tailored for:
- RV travellers looking for even more independence
- People occasionally participating in outdoor fairs, festivals or events
- Food van owners who know that just a short power outage could lose them hundreds of dollars
- Homeowners who want to be sure of their ability to power their fridges, cooking tools, heating and lighting equipment during power failures
- Professionals in need of safely powering high-intensity work or lighting equipment
Over the following sections, you'll uncover its power characteristics, the selection of outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the supplementary features it includes.
Power & Run Time
The A-iPower SUA7000L
The A-iPower SUA7000L's engine, 322 cc (9 hp) Senci SV320 OHV 4-stroke, fueled by gasoline, can deliver 120/240V. It provides a running wattage of 6,000W and reaches a peak wattage of 7,000W.
The generator features a conventional pull-start mechanism. It is rated for a noise of 74 dBA (just slightly more noisy than a shower).
Featuring a 4 gallons fuel tank, the SUA7000L can provide power for around 11 hours at 50% load on a full tank (with fuel consumption averaging 0.36 gallons per hour).
The powering of sensitive electronic devices with the SUA7000L is not recommended due to its high THD (<23%).
Outlets
The control panel features the following 5 AC outlets:
Moreover, it comes equipped with 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle enabling simple battery charging for added ease.
Since it boasts a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the SUA7000L is engineered to be transfer switch ready, ensuring easy integration with your breaker box to provide backup power to your home during outages.
Portability
With its L24 x W23.3 x H21.8 in dimensions, the open frame structure of the A-iPower SUA7000L guarantees stability, simplified maintenance access to components, and better air cooling than enclosed units. The device has been designed for tough environments and demanding outdoor use.
Even at 134 lbs, the generator is categorized as 'portable,' suggesting its movability, although its weight impede its portability. Nevertheless, it can still be moved quite conveniently with the help of its wheel kit (⌀7") and its folding handle, once it is placed on the ground.
Features
The SUA7000L's control panel
Monitoring of the SUA7000L's status and activity is made possible by a digital data center, which provides information on the lifetime run hours and is one of the features of its control panel.
In addition to this info, a light indicator serves to show you when the oil level is too low.
The built-in fuel gauge of the generator ensures simple and quick gas level assessments.
In terms of security, the generator features an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), ensuring peace of mind during its use.
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 SUA7000L also is packed along with the following accessories: tool kit, battery charging cables and oil.
Product Video
The A-iPower SUA7000L versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the A-iPower SUA7000L compare to generators of similar power (between 5500 and 6500 W).
- As far as its dry weight is concerned, the A-iPower SUA7000L weighs just 134 pounds and thus, it is one of the lighter 5500 to 6500 rated wattage generators. Regarding dry weight, one of the champions in the same power range is the Pulsar PGDA70BiSCO, with a dry weight of only 118 lbs.
- The generator's noise output, rated at 74 dBA, falls within the average range expected for devices in its power range. If you value reduced noise levels, the Honda EU7000iS could be worth considering. It's one of the quietest generators in its power range, rated at 52 dBA.
- Given that the SUA7000L reaches an autonomy of around 11 hours with a full tank and at 50% load, it is placed within the average autonomy range of similarly powerful generators. If runtime is a priority for you, the Predator 6500 stands out as one of the generators with the longest run time in its power range, providing around 14.5 hours of continuous use.
- Run time is a key metric, but it's dependent on the generator's fuel tank capacity. Therefore, discussing fuel efficiency is necessary for a complete understanding. This generator can be considered as one of the most fuel-efficient, due to its low estimated fuel consumption of only 0.36 GPH (gallon per hour) at 50% load, within the aforementioned wattage range.
The bottom line
- Several accessories included
- GFCI Outlets
- Lightweight for its kind (134 lbs)
- Fuel efficient
- Acceptable noise (74 dBA)
- Decent run time
- No 50-amp output
- No electric start
