Zoom on the A-iPower SUA9000E
In summary, the A-iPower SUA9000E is a portable generator especially useful 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
- Professionals in need of safely powering high-intensity work or lighting equipment
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
Running on gasoline, the A-iPower SUA9000E utilizes a 420 cc (14 hp) A-iPower OHV 4-stroke engine to deliver 120/240V, offering a running wattage of 7,250W and a starting wattage of 9,000W.
The generator, rated for a noise of 76 dBA (less noisy than a shower), provides flexibility in starting, offering both a classic hand-operated recoil starting mechanism and a practical and straightforward electric starter (battery included).
The SUA9000E's fuel tank, with a capacity of 7 gallons, supports uninterrupted operation for around 8.5 hours at 50% load when fully fueled (fuel consumption at an estimated 0.82 gallons per hour).
Outlets
The control panel features the upcoming 6 AC outlets:
Furthermore, it showcases 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle offering a convenient battery charging option.
Despite not having the 'RV Ready' status, this A-iPower generator provides the benefit of convenient RV compatibility through its L5-30R receptacle, enabling you to easily power your RV using an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor. Besides, thanks to its twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the SUA9000E is transfer switch ready, facilitating easy hookup to your breaker box to provide backup power for your home during blackouts.
Portability
Measuring L27.5 x W26 x H26 in, the A-iPower SUA9000E showcases a classic open frame layout, offering stability and simple maintenance access to components, while facilitating air circulation. The featured design is ideal for the outdoors and all tough environments.
Though weighing 201.7 lbs, the generator remains classified as 'portable,' indicating its capability to be moved, though its weight could pose transport challenges. Still, once it is on the ground, its wheel kit (⌀9") and its folding handle can easily solve the issue of low mobility and allow for easy relocation of the device.
Features
The SUA9000E's control panel
Designed with a digital data center, the control panel of the SUA9000E grants you access to crucial data on the lifetime run hours, ensuring practical monitoring of its status and activity.
In addition to this info, the device's light indicator will illuminate to indicate if its oil levels are insufficient.
A built-in fuel gauge allows for a quick, easy and convenient check of the fuel level of the generator.
From a security standpoint, the generator is furnished with an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), ensuring peace of mind during operation.
Beyond the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) to assist with setup, the A-iPower SUA9000E ships with supplementary accessories: battery charging cables, oil and tool kit.
Product Video
The A-iPower SUA9000E versus other generators
The following charts are provided to give you an idea of how some of the key specs of the A-iPower SUA9000E compare to generators of similar power (between 6500 and 7500 W).
- At a weight of 201.7 pounds, the A-iPower SUA9000E places in the expected weight range of the generators in the 6500-7500 rated wattage range. If weight is a key factor for your needs, the Sportsman GEN85KIDF is noteworthy for being one of the top contenders in this power range, with a dry weight of 133 pounds.
- At 76 dBA, this generator's noise rating is in line with the expected average for devices within its power category. If noise emissions are important to you, one of the least noisy generators of this power range is the Westinghouse iGen8200TFc with only 60 dBA.
- In terms of its autonomy, the SUA9000E can operate for around 8.5 hours at a 50% load, placing it within the lower bracket among generators of similar power range. If concerned with autonomy, one of the products of a comparable power output, which offers the highest run time, is the Firman H07553, boasting with around 12 hours.
- Even though run times are undoubtedly important, they are dependent on the fuel capacity to a large extent. For a more wholesome picture, we must take into consideration the fuel consumption of the generator. Compared to its peers, this generator is not exactly fuel-efficient, compared to similarly powerful devices, with an estimated fuel consumption of 0.82 GPH at a 50% load. If fuel consumption is your top priority, we suggest to check out the Ford FG7750BiSRCO, which has a fuel consumption of only 0.5 GPH and thus, is one of the most efficient devices in our database.
The bottom line
- GFCI Outlets
- Electric start
- Decent weight (201.7 lbs)
- Acceptable noise (76 dBA)
- No 50-amp output
- No remote start
- Relatively low run time
- Low fuel efficiency
