A-iPower SUA2000iD 2000 Watt Dual Fuel Portable Inverter Generator Quiet Operation, Lightweight

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

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.

This generator would not have been used much or often so I figured no fuss with gummed up carbs if I ran it on propane. It arrived today........no oil in the generator but the manual said there was oil in the accessory package. Well there was not. Another item on the "Included in the Box" that was not in the box was the 12 volt battery charging cable which would plug in to the cigarette plug BUT it wouldn't have done any good as they did away with the 8amp 12 volt outlet and now have a 1.5 amp USB outlet which would take forever to charge a batter especially since the generator now does not come with the cable the manual says comes with it and it states on the box it's included. The generator itself has a "cheap" feel to it if you know what I mean. I played with it for 45 minutes after I filled the oil reservoir trying to get it to run. It did run very briefly with the choke all the way out but that was all it would do. Push the choke in even a little bit and it cut right off. Now I have to go through the hassle and returning this useless thing. I'm out my time running to the store to buy a quart of oil, the cost of the oil, and the cost of whatever ethanol free gasoline that spills when I try to empty it out. Typically I am one of those people who will spend more for a top quality item. I messed up big time with this purchase.

Bought it to power a mini fridge and 2 fans well below the 1800 watt rated power of the generator. Was a bit hard to start but worked ok for the 3.5 hrs of use every other day or so. On the 10th day the overload light came on even though nothing was plugged into the generator and off course no power was being generated. Called customer service and they said it may need a new inverter which they promised to send. Problem is I live outside of the US so I will have to absorb the shipping costs of around $100 on a brand new generator . Plus not 100% sure the replacement part will fix the problem. Really disappointed Edit *So I received the inverter part that should solve the problem. It did not. Still the overload light remains and no power is being generated. I have asked that the machine be replaced. Awaiting their response. Good news. Received a full refund from AI Power which was unexpected as I live in Jamaica. Customer service was good as I was emailed several times from Alfred and received a call from management. I have a friend in Jamaica who has the exact same model for several years without problem so it looks like the units are usually of good standard. Thanks AI.

This is a great buy for a compact dual fuel generator. I ran it for 28 hours straight right out of the box on LP Gas with no problem. Pros. Price Price Price... Great! Plenty of power for most camper or emergency home needs. Comes with everything you need right out of the box, even the oil, RV power adapters and more. Very economical on fuel average load. They can run in parallel and they provide the cables in the box. Great for remote operations or off road camping. Dual fuel operation, no need for messy or dangerous liquid gas. It's is quieter than many standard generators on the market. The LP hose does not interfere with a 30amp RV plug when the 30amp adapter is used. (Nice Touch) Cons. Keep in mind...I have been spoiled by Honda super quiet generators. While the spec reads the same as Honda they are considerably louder and weigh a little more. I would not use it in a park situation for the noise, especially at full speed max load. The new Honda generators in this class are 2200 watts. But Honda generators run around $1,400.00. This unit is 2000 watts, 1800 watts on LP gas. at less than $400.00. Their is no quick disconnect on the LP hose, you need a wrench. While I only use it in the LP configuration, it make it hard to store with the hose and regulator attached all the time. Like most things you get what you pay for but in this case this is a lot of inverter generator for the money. I would recommend this unit with the limitations noted above... j
