Description
The A-iPower 9000E provides 9,000 watts of starting power and 7,250 watts of running power. It’s well-suited for the construction job site or as backup power for your home during emergencies. Powered by an A-iPower 420cc/14hp OHV engine and combined with an, efficient high-output alternator designed and manufactured by Senci, this unit delivers greater peak wattage when starting motor-driven tools and appliances.
Zoom on the A-iPower SUA9000E
In summary, the A-iPower SUA9000E is a portable generator especially useful for:
- Food van owners who know that just a short power outage could lose them hundreds of dollars
- Homeowners who want to be sure of their ability to power their fridges, cooking tools, heating and lighting equipment during power failures
- Professionals who want to be able to deliver results, even during a power failure
In the forthcoming sections, you'll delve into its power characteristics, the various outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the additional features it boasts.
Power & Run Time
Running on gasoline, the A-iPower SUA9000E operates with a 420 cc (14 hp) A-iPower OHV 4-stroke engine, delivering 120/240V, with a running wattage of 7,250W and a peak wattage of 9,000W.
Enjoying a noise rating of 76 dBA (less noisy than a vacuum cleaner), this generator can be started thanks to a manual recoil starter system, but also to a hassle-free and practical electric starter (battery included).
Equipped with a 7 gallons fuel tank, the SUA9000E ensures continuous operation for around 8.5 hours at 50% load with a full tank (fuel usage approximately 0.82 gallons per hour).
Outlets
The control panel features the upcoming 6 AC outlets:
Furthermore, it has 1 DC outlet: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle with which charging your batteries is made easy.
Despite not meeting the 'RV Ready' criteria, this A-iPower generator grants the advantage of simple RV compatibility via its L5-30R receptacle, enabling you to conveniently power your RV by using an L5-30P to TT-30R adaptor. Besides, due to the featured twist-lock L14-30R receptacle, the SUA9000E is transfer switch ready: you may connect it to a breaker box to power your household during a power outage.
Portability
With dimensions of L27.5 x W26 x H26 in, the traditional open frame design of the A-iPower SUA9000E ensures stability while allowing easy maintenance access to components and promoting effective air cooling. This type of design is ideal for tough environments and heavy outdoor use.
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 201.7 lbs. Despite the restricted maneuverability, its wheel kit (⌀9") and its folding handle provides a solution, allowing for convenient shifting once the generator is positioned on the ground.
Features
The SUA9000E's control panel
The control panel of the SUA9000E includes a digital data center, which assists you in monitoring its status and activity, as it provides information on the lifetime run hours.
In addition to this info, the device’s light indicator will display if the oil level is too low.
Featuring a built-in fuel gauge, the generator offers quick, convenient, and easy gas level checks at a glance.
Security-wise, this product benefits from an overload protection (circuit breaker) and an automatic low oil shut-off, which gives you a complete peace of mind when using it.
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 SUA9000E also is packed along with the following accessories: oil, tool kit and battery charging cables.
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
