Zoom on the A-iPower SUA7500
In summary, the A-iPower SUA7500 is a portable generator especially useful for:
- RV travellers wishing to enhance their freedom and nomad lifestyle
- Occasional participants of outdoor events, competitions, concerts and festivals
- Food truck owners who want to ensure that their business is fully self-contained and does not rely on potentially unreliable external power
- 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
In the following paragraphs, we shall explore the power characteristics, available outlets, portability, and any additional features of the device.
Power & Run Time
Running on gasoline, the A-iPower SUA7500 operates with a 322 cc Senci OHV 4-stroke engine with cast iron sleeve, delivering 120/240V, with a running wattage of 6,000W and a peak wattage of 7,500W.
Rated for 68 dBA (less noisy than a normal conversation), the generator's starting mechanism relies on a classic hand-operated recoil starting mechanism.
With a fuel capacity of 3.6 gallons, the SUA7500 may run for up to 12 hours with a full tank (fuel consumption around 0.3 GPH).
Since the SUA7500 has a high THD (<23%), it is advisable to not use it for the powering of sensitive electronic devices.
Outlets
The control panel is equipped with the following 4 AC outlets:
In addition, it provides 2 DC outlets: there's two 5V USB ports (1 x USB-A and 1 x USB-C) enabling convenient charging of devices like mobile phones and tablets.
This A-iPower generator features an L5-30R receptacle, enabling an easy RV connection via an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor. However, it is still not quite RV ready. Besides, since the SUA7500 bears a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, it is transfer switch ready: it is easily connectible to a breaker box and can power your home in case of a power outage.
Portability
At L26.82 x W20.9 x H23.2 in, the standard open frame design of the A-iPower SUA7500 delivers stability alongside easy maintenance access to components and good air cooling. The device has been designed for tough environments and demanding outdoor use.
As the generator's weight is 140.2 pounds, manually moving it or transporting it may be challenging, despite the fact that it is technically considered 'portable' (movable). Nevertheless, the restricted maneuverability is counteracted by its wheel kit (⌀9") and its folding handle, enabling easy shifting once the generator is set in place.
Features
The SUA7500's control panel
The control panel of the SUA7500 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 generator's light indicator provides visual feedback when 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.
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.
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 SUA7500 also comes with some accessories: funnel, tool kit and oil are included.
The A-iPower SUA7500 versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the A-iPower SUA7500 compare to generators of similar power (between 5500 and 6500 W).
- In terms of its dry weight, the A-iPower SUA7500 stands at only 140.2 lbs, meaning that is one of the lighter devices of the 5500-6500 rated wattage category If weight is your top priority, one of the champions in this power category is the Genmax GM6250iET, weighing just 102.6 pounds.
- With noise emissions reaching as low as 68 dBA, this generator has a noise level typical for devices of its power category. If noise emissions are important to you, one of the least noisy generators of this power range is the Honda EU7000iS with only 52 dBA.
- Autonomy-wise, with up to 12 hours on a full tank at a 25% load, the SUA7500 is on the low end when compared to other generators of a similar power output. For those prioritizing autonomy, the A-iPower GXS8200D could be considered, as it offers one of the longest run times among generators with similar power output, reaching up to 17 hours.
- Run times are important, yet thanks to their dependence on the fuel capacity, they should be judged along with the fuel consumption of the device. This generator has a better fuel efficiency than other units in the aforementioned output range, consuming approximately 0.3 GPH (gallon per hour) at 25% load. To prioritize fuel savings, we advise considering the DuroMax XP7000iHT, which stands out for its gasoline efficiency, consuming just 0.19 gallons per hour.
Price comparison
As you can see from these interactive charts, when compared to other 5500-6500W generators, the A-iPower SUA7500 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.
