A-iPower 9,000 / 12,000 Watt Gasoline Powered Generator with Electric Start

<p>If you’re looking for a fantastic option when it comes to powering your home or construction site, look no further than the A-iPower 9,000 / 12,000 Watt Gasoline Powered Generator with Electric Start. This&nbsp;robust gasoline-powered generator runs on a 459cc engine that will provide 9,000 watts of running power as well as 12,000 watts of starting power. This makes it a great option for construction sites as well as powering a home during emergencies. It also comes with a keyless one-touch button for electric start and it also has GFCI-protected outlets that will give you added safety and protection if conditions become a little wet.</p> <h3>How Big of a Portable Generator Do I Need?</h3> <p>When looking for the perfect gasoline-powered generator, the answer to this question largely depends on what you need it for. Typically, a small to medium-sized house will need about 3,000-5000 watts of running power. When it comes to large houses or those that also need to run a well pump, one should really be looking at an electric generator that can output 5,000 to 6,500 watts. As such, the A-iPower 9,000 / 12,000 Watt Gasoline Powered Generator with Electric Start is a robust piece of equipment that can easily tackle the needs of most households while at the same time having plenty of energy to spare.</p> <h3>How Long Will a Portable Generator Run with One Tank of Gas?</h3> <p>When it comes to how long a portable generator will run, it directly depends on a few things: the generator itself, how large the tank is and how much it is being used. The A-iPower 9,000 / 12,000 Watt Gasoline Powered Generator with Electric Start comes with an extremely large seven-gallon, all-steel tank that can provide nine hours of electricity at a 50% working load.</p> <h3>What Features Should I Look for in a Portable Generator?</h3> <p>There are a lot of options when it comes to different portable gas power generators. Many users like to have pushbutton starts in order to get things running quickly and easily. Having a quality voltage regulator as well is extremely important as it will provide consistent power and reduce fluctuations. One incredibly handy feature is an automatic low oil shut off. This way, if you are generator ever runs on low on lubrication, it will automatically shut off to prevent damage until you can add more oil. Other features to look for are protected outlets, maintenance-free batteries, ergonomically designed handles and wheels for easy mobility.</p>

We only received this a few days ago and will not use unless we have a significant weather event such as an ice storm, etc.  The 2017 hurricanes in TX & FL caused us to realize it would be good to have back up power just in case.  We had our local electric coop install the necessary plug-in to accommodate this generator so, if needed, we hope it will be of great value and work/run well.  It is a 4-cycle engine which is supposed to run quieter so we hope that is true.  It was delivered in a timely manner & packed very well and looks like the Range Rover on Mars so it should be just what we need in case of power outages.

Looks like a great machine!

Searched hi and low for a generator for my food trailer. Found this one , read all the reviews. I think I will give it a try. They delivered it right to my door in just few days. It was every thing the reviews said it was! I love it. For a food trailer it could be a little quieter, but it is fine, especially for the price. For a home or work it would be Great. BUY IT you will not regret it.

J Miears

Easy to assemble and powerful enough to provide power to everything in in my 2300 sq ft house, including AC.  I had the 240V outlet plug connected to electrical panel.  If there is a power outage, all I have to do now is plug and play.

Performed Beyond Expectation

I bought it after storm hit North Carolina.  I have a lesser watt generator, but wanted a larger wattage generator to power whole house.  Runs good, but have not put a power demand on it yet.

good value

This is our second generator, but first with an electric start. It was easy to set up, started up right away, and works great.

So far so good!

Very easy to assemble,  took me like 10 minutes and did it in my truck bed. Started up , not as loud as I expected.

Very good genator

I ordered this 1 month ago and recevied it on time and with no problems. Completed the minor assembly and set  up. Added fuel and oil, firedit up and let it run for the 5 hour break in period. Still zero problems. Changed the oil after 5 hours as recommended and stored the unit for use if we have a power outtage with one of the Florrida hurricanes. I hope inever need it, but if I do I am confident that the 50 A output line will supply my power needs as long as I can keep gasoline to run it... It did run for 5 hours on 1/2 of a tank of fuel (3 1/2 U S Gallons).

Well built, easy assembly (very little required).

The unit starts easily and runs well, and for the most part, the design is capable and well-executed.  Fit and finish (pow der coating)is well above typical for this class of generato.  IIt recovers from a sudden heavy load quickly (such as a 240V oven), a plus.  

It is not without shortcomings however, both in design details and in the owner's manual.

Output Receptacles:  The 38A output uses a standard 14-50P plug, the same as RV 50A cables use, making one readily available.  Because of the output (<40A), 8/4 stranded wire is fine. The 30A output also uses a common plug (L14-30P; which like the -50P, is configured for 3 pole [4 wire], 120/240V, so care in wiring for 120V [1 pole 3wire] is necessary).  

Wheels:  Instructions imply that the frame is raised enough within the packing to simply install the wheels and backstand.  Not so; the unit has to be raised at each end.

Battery:  The hole on the negative battery terminal is set so low, it's very difficult to access the nut and bolt.   While the battery can be charged with a special connection on the unit, integral charging would have been a nice touch.  I use a battery float charger (about $15) and leave it connected so the battery will always be charged when needed.  The engine does, however, start easily on the recoil starter.

Engine Oil:  The tag on the oil dipstick says to use 10W30 oil.  The manual says 30HD above 40°F.  1 qt. of 10W30 oil is supplied, but the engine takes 1.5 qt., so shop early.  The hour meter is useful for oil change intervals, but the oil should be changed at least annually, regardless of the number of hours.

Valve Lash:  Buried in the manual is the requirement to set valve lash after 50 hours.  While clearances are given, no instructions are provided.  Engine should be cold, and lash is measured between the backside (unengaged sector) of the cam and the follower.  Not everyone has the special feeler gauges required for this, and at over 250 lbs,, toting it to a shop is impractical for most owners.  That said, the valves are easily accessible, another plus for the DIYer.

Noise:  There is a claim this generator is “super quiet”; it is not, but it is among the less noisy ones in its class.  For truly a quiet generator, one would have to get a MUCH more expensive unit.

Fuel Filter:  There is no fuel filter, but one can easily be installed.

Idle Storage:  The manual suggests draining the fuel tank or using a stabilizer.  Most folks would prefer not to have to fuel the generator in the rain or snow when it's needed, nor is there a quickdrain for the fuel tank.  The best alternative is to use stabilizer (formulated for the usual ethanol-poisoned gas) and top off the tank.  Without air, fuel is pretty stable.  A small dose of a good carb cleaner is also suggested.  I use SeaFoam or Techron.

Stopping the Generator:  The manual is obscure; most entries say to use the “Stop” switch.  This is OK for refueling, but for storage, the fuel valve should be closed and the generator allowed to stop from fuel starvation.  This will minimize the chance of gumming up the carburetor.

Mostly Quite Good - But with a Few Quibbles

The picture on the Sams Club product detail does not show my issue but I have a problem with the 30 amp plug on the panel.  The manufacture  apparently put a new circuit breaker right next to the 30 amp plug which prevents the power cable plug from fully seating.  I called and their customer service and they said nobody else has called about the issue so I emailed them photos showing the problem.  Apparently they are planning on ignoring the problem.  I did find that if I twist off the plastic cover off of the breaker then the plug fully seats.  Not that big of deal except I was angry they didn't even try to work things out with me.  Other than that the generator works great.  It has sturdy construction and work flawlessly.  I downgraded my review by two stars due to the lack of response with my problem.

Flawed design

The unit came damaged, looks like the carrier put something on the top of it and collapsed the fuel tank. Sam's credited me $50 and told me to get it fixed and call them back for a final adjustment. I don't think it should be the customer who should be doing all the work, I already paid $800 and I wanted a new, un-damaged product. I found the tank from the manufacturer, but it can take another 4 weeks for delivery. 10 weeks total!!!!!! This is just not the way to treat the customer!!!!
