Description
Zoom on the A-iPower SUA7600iED
In a few words, the A-iPower SUA7600iED is a portable inverter generator perfectly suited 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 who want to be able to use the most necessary devices in their household, even during a blackout
- RV travellers looking for even more independence
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
The A-iPower SUA7600iED
Thanks to its dual-fuel technology, the A-iPower SUA7600iED delivers 120/240V and offers power and versatility. When gasoline-powered, it benefits from a running wattage of 6,100W and a peak wattage of 7,600W. When propane-powered, it has 5,500 rated watts and 6,900 peak watts. In addition, the parallel capability (PK12000 (opens in a new tab) not included) empowers increasing of power output when linked 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.
At a noise rating of 66 dBA (less noisy than a normal conversation), this inverter generator provides the choice between a classic hand-operated recoil starting mechanism or a straightforward and intuitive electric starter (battery included) for starting.
The running time of the SUA7600iED, with its 3.6 gallons fuel capacity, can reach up to 10 hours on a full tank of gasoline (fuel consumption around 0.36 GPH). With propane, it can reach up to 11.2 hours (on a 20 lbs tank - propane consumption around 0.42 GPH).
Sensitive electronics can be safely plugged in the AC outlets, as the SUA7600iED produces a clean sine wave, with a <3% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD).
Outlets
The control panel features the upcoming 4 AC outlets:
Moreover, it comes equipped with 3 DC outlets: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle offering a convenient battery charging option and two 5V USB ports (1 x USB-A and 1 x USB-C) allowing you to conveniently charge electronics such as mobile phones and tablets.
Even if this A-iPower generator isn't quite RV Ready, it still allows for an easy RV connection via an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor (included), thanks to its L5-30R receptacle. Besides, with its twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the SUA7600iED is designed to be transfer switch ready, allowing easy connection to your breaker box for powering your home during a blackout.
Portability
The A-iPower SUA7600iED is distinguished by its enclosed inverter generator design (L28 x W22 x H24 in), providing improved aesthetics and quieter performance compared to traditional, open frame units. This type of design is the most modern and convenient way to recreationally generate power.
As the generator's weight is 130 pounds, manually moving it or transporting it may be challenging, despite the fact that it is technically considered 'portable' (movable). However, the constrained maneuverability is addressed with the assistance of its set of 2 wheels (⌀7") and its telescopic handle, allowing for easy shifting once the generator is placed on the ground.
Features
The SUA7600iED's control panel
To help you monitor the SUA7600iED's status and activity, its control panel is equipped with a digital data center, giving you information on the lifetime run hours, fuel level, power output, frequency and voltage. To offer you even more control and easy operation during nighttime, the panel is LED-lit.
In addition to this info, some light indicators allow you to instantly see if its oil levels are insufficient, the generator is on overload and the generator is ready.
Considering security aspects, the generator boasts an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), offering peace of mind throughout operation.
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: RV adapter, oil, propane hose, tool kit, battery charger and battery charging cables.
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 inverter generators of similar power (between 5500 and 6500 W).
- Considering its weight, the A-iPower SUA7600iED registers at a modest 130 pounds, placing it among the lighter inverter generators in the 5500 to 6500 rated wattage selection. If weight is your top priority, one of the champions in this power category is the Genmax GM6250iET, weighing just 102.6 pounds.
- When compared to other units producing a similar running wattage, this inverter generator and its lowest emitted noise of 66 dBA stand out for being on the louder side. If you'd like a less noisy alternative, the Honda EU7000iS is a strong contender. It boasts a noise rating of 52 dBA, placing it among the quietest generators in its power category.
- 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 inverter generators of a similar power output. If you wish to prioritize autonomy, the Honda EU7000iS shines as one of the top contenders, offering one of the highest run times among generators with similar power output, totaling up to 16 hours.
- The run time is important, but also hugely depends on the capacity of the fuel tank and doesn't mean much if we don't talk about fuel consumption as well. This inverter generator is not fuel-efficient compared to devices of similar output: its estimated fuel consumption stands at 0.36 GPH at a 25% load. If minimizing fuel usage is one of your key priorities, the DuroMax XP7000iHT is one of the most efficient devices with similar power output, with a gasoline consumption of only 0.19 gallons per hour.

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.
