Description
Zoom on the A-iPower SUA7600iED
In summary, the A-iPower SUA7600iED is a portable inverter generator especially useful for:
- Food truck owners who do not wish to see their business interrupted under any circumstances
- Homeowners in need of an emergency backup power for their essentials
- Tailgating and campground aficionados with the desire of enjoying power anywhere they go
- RV travellers looking for even more independence
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
Featuring dual-fuel technology, the A-iPower SUA7600iED provides 120/240V, and offers both power and versatility. Running on gasoline, it delivers a running wattage of 6,100W and a starting wattage of 7,600W. When propane-powered, it offers 5,500 running watts and 6,900 starting watts. Additionally, as the generator is parallel capable (PK12000 not included), it can be linked to a second unit for more power.
A-iPower’s Fuel Sense technology automatically selects the fuel source (LPG or gasoline) depending on availability and prioritizes LPG. Thus, if a propane tank with enough LPG is connected, the generator will automatically use LPG. If the propane cylinder valve is closed, or if there is not enough LPG remaining in the tank, the generator will use gasoline.
With a noise rating of 66 dBA (less noisy than a normal conversation), the inverter generator features a standard recoil pull-rope starting mechanism, but also a simple and elegant electric starter (battery included).
Regarding its running time, the SUA7600iED, with a 3.6 gallons fuel capacity, can operate for up to 10 hours with a full tank of gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.36 GPH). When using propane, it can run for up to 11.2 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.42 GPH).
The SUA7600iED generates a clean sine wave: providing <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), delicate electronics can be plugged in its AC outlets safely.
Outlets
The control panel is equipped with the following 4 AC outlets:
Additionally, it features 3 DC outlets: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle enabling simple battery charging for added ease and two 5V USB ports (1 x USB-A and 1 x USB-C) perfect for conveniently charging mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices.
While not classified as 'RV Ready,' this A-iPower generator can still provides the advantage of RV connection via its L5-30R receptacle, ensuring power supply to your RV with an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor (included). Besides, because the SUA7600iED is equipped with a twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, it is transfer switch ready: it can power your home during a power outage, as it can be easily connected to your breaker box to power your household.
Portability
Thanks to its closed inverter generator design (L28 x W22 x H24 in), the A-iPower SUA7600iED not only offers superior aesthetics but also operates with reduced noise levels compared to a typical, open frame generator. This type of design is the most modern and convenient way to recreationally generate power.
Since the generator weighs 130 lbs, it will be incredibly difficult to manually lift it and transport it, even though it is technically considered to 'be portable' (in the sense that it is movable). However, the constrained maneuverability is addressed with the assistance of its set of 2 wheels (⌀4") and its telecospic handle, allowing for easy shifting once the generator is placed on the ground.
Features
Embedded in the control panel of the SUA7600iED, a digital data center serves as a vital feature, offering comprehensive information on the frequency, voltage, fuel level, power output and lifetime run hours to aid in monitoring activity and status. To offer you even more control and easy operation during nighttime, the panel is LED-lit.
In addition to this info, light indicators on the device will notify you if the generator is overloaded, the generator is ready and its oil levels are insufficient.
From a security standpoint, the product offers an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, allowing you to use it with a peace of mind.
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.
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 SUA7600iED also is packed along with the following accessories: tool kit, battery charging cables, propane hose, oil, battery charger and RV adapter.
The A-iPower SUA7600iED versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the A-iPower SUA7600iED compare to generators of similar power (between 5500 and 6500 W).
- In terms of its weight, the A-iPower SUA7600iED weighs merely 130 pounds, earning it a spot among the lighter generators within the 5500 to 6500 rated wattage category. Weight-conscious users may find the Champion 201239 appealing, as it is one of the top contenders in this power range, weighing just 111.6 pounds.
- Delivering a rated noise output as low as 66 dBA, this inverter generator is has a quieter operation that most units of similar power. If noise is a concern for you, you could consider the Honda EU7000iS, which is one of the least noisy generators in its power range, rated at 52 dBA.
- Autonomy-wise, with up to 10 hours on a full tank at a 25% load, the SUA7600iED is on the low end when compared to other generators of a similar power output. If extended autonomy is what matters most to you, the Westinghouse WGen6000 could be an excellent choice, offering one of the longest run times among units in its power category, reaching up to 18 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. As this inverter generator uses an estimated 0.36 GPH (gallon per hour) at a 25% load, it finds itself in the average gasoline consumption range of similar products. If you are concerned with gasoline efficiency, having a fuel consumption of just 0.19 GPH, the DuroMax XP7000iH is a device you could look out for.

Why is the spec on Amazon only 120v yet clearly there is a 240 volt outlet. In the answers section they say it’s 120v. What’s that all about? Can I safely buy on Amazon and get the 240v? It appears to be a typo but I have to be sure before ordering. (Asked April 05, 2024)
The unit can provide 240V via its L14-30R outlet. As of today, the Amazon listing page seems to be for a group of units (there's a "style" switcher leading to 1500W, 2300W, and several other units). Any answered question there could therefore be for any of the units present in the switcher.
Can I install a remote start kit to it? Is there such a kit available? (Asked July 29, 2024)
There are no official remote start kits.
Where is the power cord to plug into the outdoor outlet to power the solar batteries (Asked November 05, 2024)
The unit does not come with any cords.
