Review of the A-iPower SUA7000C Portable Generator

Should You Buy It?

This doesn't appear to be a hugely popular generator among other models in the open-frame market. In terms of cost, however, it seems to represent good value for money when compared, for example, to the less powerful Champion 100519.

With a starting power of 7000 watts and able to run continuously at 6000 watts it falls in what can be considered as a medium power generator. As an open-frame model it will be noisier than one of the closed frames, though there are few of those types capable of delivering these amounts of power.

Were you to be looking for this kind of power it may be worth your while considering this model.
