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

AMAZING Little generator.Purchased in 2021, filled with oil, and stored away, never used until last night During our power outage (July 1 2026)Ran a heavy duty cord from the porch, into our kitchen to a 3-Outlet Adapter,3 Prong heavy duty splitter, and powered our refrigerator and a cord to our living room. This thing ran very well and quiet and provided us power to our TV, Internet router, and a fan during the hottest day and night of the summer. It ran for three fuel cycles, and was easy to start, easy to refill, and easy to use. Only issue was to check the oil requires a panel removal with a screwdriver.

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

So this generator took a LONG time to finally ship but it arrived safely (thank you UPS) and in good condition inside the box. The box it came in said on the outside that it included a bottle of oil and the manual said it would include dc charging cables but neither were packaged with the generator (think they use the same box for all of their 2000 watt generators and got lazy with the print), but everything else like the funnel, spark plug wrench and parallel cables did. I connected a propane tank to it that I’ve had for a while but it didn’t startup right away...called A-IPower and (though it took about 10 minutes to speak with someone) it turns out that I was too low on propane for it startup (I was probably near empty). With a new tank connected and a few pulls later I was good to go. I let it run for a bit without a load and then connected a rotating heater rated at 1500 watts (which is the max when using propane) and the overload light never came on even after 15 minutes with the heater on high (the dark picture shows heater connected to the generator). I even plugged in my iPhone at the same time and it worked great! It’s still early but I’m very happy with my purchase so far. I will try to update after I get some more experience with it. The generator does feel like it is solidly built and from what I’ve read in the manual it seems that this senci motor is just a generic version of the Yamaha motor sold in the blue SUA2000 model. The unit is not light but is easy enough to carry around...I love the portability of it. As other reviewers have said the noise level is very good compared to the larger generators...Even at about two feet away you could carry on a conversation with someone without having to raise your voice and from inside your home you will barely even hear it. I would recommend getting the elongated flexible funnel and the magnetic dipstick like others have suggested. The flexible funnel made adding oil painless. So far I would say go for it if you are on the fence about purchasing it. Nice to have something like this as a backup.

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.

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 disappointedEdit *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.
