Description
Zoom on the A-iPower SUA7600iED
To sum up, the A-iPower SUA7600iED is a portable inverter generator tailored for:
- Food truck owners who want to ensure that their business is fully self-contained and does not rely on potentially unreliable external power
- Homeowners in need of an emergency backup power for their essentials
- Camping and tailgating hobbyists looking for a portable power source
- RV travellers who wish to upgrade their experience to another level
The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics, the different outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the extra features it benefits from.
Power & Run Time
Featuring dual-fuel technology, the A-iPower SUA7600iED provides 120/240V, as well as versatility and power. Running on gasoline, it delivers a running wattage of 6,100W and a peak wattage of 7,600W. Alternatively, when fueled by propane, it offers 5,500 running watts and 6,900 peak watts. Furthermore, its parallel capability (PK12000 (opens in a new tab) not included) allows power output to increase when connected to another similar or compatible unit, ensuring expanded energy capacity and reliability for various applications.
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.
The inverter generator, rated for a noise of 66 dBA (less noisy than background music), provides flexibility in starting, offering both a conventional pull-start mechanism and a user-friendly and hassle-free electric starter (battery included).
In terms of its run time capability, the SUA7600iED, furnished with a 3.6 gallons fuel tank, can maintain operations for up to 10 hours on a full tank of gasoline (with fuel consumption averaging 0.36 gallons per hour). It also provides up to 11.2 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.42 GPH) of operation with propane.
Thanks to its low <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the SUA7600iED produces a clean sine wave output, making it safe for your sensitive electronics when utilizing the AC outlets.
Outlets
The control panel includes 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) enabling convenient charging of devices like mobile phones and tablets.
Though it may not be labeled as 'RV Ready,' this A-iPower generator offers the benefit of hassle-free RV connectivity through its L5-30R receptacle, allowing you to easily power your RV with the assistance of an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor (included). Besides, the SUA7600iED's twist-lock L14-30R receptacle makes it transfer switch ready, enabling hassle-free connection to your breaker box for powering your home during outages.
Portability
As an inverter generator, the A-iPower SUA7600iED showcases a closed design (L28 x W22 x H24 in), enhancing aesthetics and ensuring quieter operation compared to conventional, open frame models. This modern design aims to provide an ideal power solution to recreational users.
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 130 lbs. Nevertheless, the restricted maneuverability is counteracted by its set of 2 wheels (⌀4") and its telecospic handle, enabling easy shifting once the generator is set in place.
Features
The SUA7600iED's control panel
The SUA7600iED's control panel is equipped with a digital data center, furnishing detailed information on the fuel level, power output, voltage, lifetime run hours and frequency for you to easily track its 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 signal if the generator is overloaded, the generator is ready and the oil level is too low.
As for its security measures, the device features an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, letting you 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.
In addition to the traditional documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to help you get started promptly, the A-iPower SUA7600iED also includes several accessories: propane hose, battery charging cables, RV adapter, tool kit, oil and battery charger.
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.
