A-iPower Portable Inverter Generator, 2300W RV Ready, EPA & CARB Compliant CO Sensor, Portable Ultra-Light Weight For Backup Home Use, Tailgating & Camping (SUA2301i)

Started on the 3rd pull after taking it off choke a little. Tested it on my 8000btu a/c first and it worked great - very little speed increase on ECO mode surprisingly. Then I put a 1875 watt hair dryer on it and the dryer ran fine although the generator could only provide 1587 watts ( which is close enough for it's advertised output) for it according to my watt meter. That bumped it up to full rpm naturally. On house current the dryer was pulling around 1850 watts. As far as noise goes, I was surprised how quiet it is. The youtube videos are deceptive, making it sound louder than it actually is. I did notice before starting it up that the generator was test run at the factory because of discoloration of the exhaust tube. I found that reassuring. Overall the quality looks excellent and it runs perfect, especially for a low priced model. Sorry, I can't find anything wrong with it!Update 8/24/20Checked fuel consumption at a couple of different loads:*Window a/c 8000 BTU's @ 650 watts per hour continuous - 40% of rated load = 6.7 hours per gallon - Eco mode ON.*1500 watt electric heater. 94% load: 4.16 hours per gallon - Eco mode off.Update 6/20/2022I just converted this over to natural gas and runs great. Full load watt capacity only dropped by 10-15 watts, but surge watts dropped more.. Hard to say how much, but I can tell there is a little more lag time when a 1500 watt load kicks in for engine to recover on eco mode. Nothing serious with what I run and I notice all generators take a bigger hit on surge when converted. It still starts my 8000 but A/c. with no problem. US Carburetion has kits for these. The only thing hard about the conversion is getting the inside nut off and back on the carb again. It would help a lot if you had another pair of hands in order to tilt the engine over on the mounts while one gets a little ratchet in there. I have not mastered starting the unit on NG yet and I might not. I am just putting about an ounce of gas in the tank and start it that way, then when the motor starts to stagger in a minute or two I start introducing the NG. Very easy this way and makes it it much cheaper to run compared to gasoline. All I have to do when the power goes out is start it and bring out of the garage a couple of feet and she'll just run and run. No more hauling gasoline or worrying if the gas is going bad is a huge benefit.Update 6/28/2022As far as the surge problem goes with the generator running on NG, I discovered that if you eliminate the quick disconnect fittings from the gas line and plug the conversion kit fuel line that goes from the carburetor directly into the regulator thereby eliminating the tiny 3/16 barb fitting that they provide with the kit, it will make the generator run just as well as it does on gasoline. I think this may be why all the tri-fuel generators take such a drastic cut in performance because they don't allow for restrictive fittings. Take a look at the specs on a tri-fuel generator and look what they use for the fittings. Yup, quick disconnects. They have very tiny passageways. The problem is most pronounced when running in ECO mode when a large load hits the generator.Update 4/28/2023I have 30 hours on it now so it should be pretty will broke in. I decided to clock my gas meter and check the Natural Gas usage at different loads today. It seems to do a little better on NG than on gasoline and not to mention that NG is 8 times cheaper than gasoline! Oil looks brand new yet, too. All ECO on No load idle = 12.82 hours Per cubit foot(PCF). Present Cost of Natura Gas is 45 cents PCF 435 watts = 10.13 hours PCF 950 watts = 7.15 hours PCF 1500 watts = 4.72 hours PCFhttps://www.amazon.com/DuoMax-XP13000HXT-000-Watt-Electric-Generator/dp/B092CJQ51F/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3LEV80YSW7N97&keywords=tri%2Bfuel%2Bgenerator&qid=1656459230&sprefix=tri%2Bfuil%2Caps%2C131&sr=8-1-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFGMTNHVUZQQ0pUSkUmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA3NTc2MjMzMTRDVjU2U0hOQU9NJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA1MjExNjYyWDBWUkxUVFJaVDRRJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ&th=1

A-iPower 7600 dual fuel. Have only had it for a couple of weeks. Bought for emergency house back up. Replacing a 20+ yr old unit. Much quieter, smaller and lighter than the old unit. Noise is also more mellow, fewer high freqs and more consistent sound. Had a minor problem with the propane hose regulator. Didn't allow flow, gave it a firm but not nasty tap. That got it working. transfer gas to propane and back is very seamless. Everything is working fine. Did the recommended 5 hour break in with varying loads, then the oil change. Have called the company for support and questions multiple times. No problems getting through and getting answers. Wish it had a remote connection for control by a home transfer switch and a second dual 120 v dual receptacle. Quite easy to transport. Unit is heavy but it puts out a lot of power (7600w) for it's weight and size, so that is expected. I don't expect to need it's full output and don't want to as I'm concerned with heat dissipation in the suitcase style, plus with the price point, I didn't want to push it to the max. Happy with the purchase, a lot of unit for the money. Time will tell regarding reliability, my old one is 20 years old and still going (5000w). Hope this one keeps giving a high level of service. Would buy again, power, flexibility of output voltages and fuel, size, noise, inverter technology, electric start. Great unit, great price, great features.

I have an old Coleman Powermate generator that served its purpose for keeping some critical appliances on when we lost power after hurricanes. However, it is sooo loud and doesn't run off of propane. I wanted an inverter generator for their pure sinewave output as well as the quieter operation. This A-iPower inverter generator was priced within my budget and I like the idea of it automatically switching fuel sources.I ran this for 5 hours for the break-in period with varying loads as well as switching between propane and gasoline.I really like this generator but didn't give it 5 stars as there are a couple of minor annoyances.- First one was that one of the wheels does not turn easily. It seems the axle has bent and the tire rubs against the body making it very difficult to move the generator around.- Second, when the generator switches from propane to gasoline, the RPMs drop for a second and the power output dips. This could be problematic for sensitive electronics.- Third, there is not an easy-to-access fuel shut off valve. I typically turn off heavy duty gas powered devices (like generators and pressure washers) by cutting off the fuel instead of setting the switch to off. This prevents gasoline from gunking up in the carburetor, particularly if you're not using ethanol free gas.- Fourth, you cannot use the 120V outlets and 240V outlets at the same time. There's a switch that you have to toggle to switch between the two.- Fifth, the red start button on the dial is too easy to press. If you accidentally press it while grabbing the dial, you can engage the starter while the engine is running and wear out the gears.- Finally, one tiny detail is that there's a button you can press to turn on or off the low idle mode which is misspelled as "Low Idel".As a generator, this unit works well and I'm willing to overlook the issues that I've had as they are minor and in the big picture don't affect the normal operation of the generator.

Our generator came with both side pieces broken where they screwed into sides. Company was very easy to work with and sent replacements with no problems. Great generator and runs good and quietly.

Light, small, somehow quiet but can accept two sources of energy; gasoline and propane gas. Very happy.

It was the best option for me as I required a 30amp plug. So far so good

In the time I have had this generator I was able to run it successfully for about 10 hours. Fuel stabilizer, running it dry prior to storage, trying to start it weekly, none of it worked. Every time I needed the generator to run it required moving it to the shop for a strip down and cleaning. The only thing this generator was capable of was creating frustration. It can not be counted on to be available for emergencies.
