Solid generator that doesn't include all parts

Solid generator that doesn't include all parts
I only purchased this generator for one purpose, to run my Starlink when I am remotely working from my 5th wheel toy hauler, which I try to do several times a year for several weeks at a time. I have an onboard Cummins Onan generator that is excellent, however, it is beyond inefficient to run that all day long just to power the Starlink, my laptop and a couple of monitors.Honestly, thus far, this generator appears to be pretty solid (I only have about 2 hours on it). It is very quiet as far as generators go. Obviously, if you stand on top of it and try to have a conversation, that won't work out well, however, if you point it correctly (away from you) and have some type of 'blockage' between it & you, it is very reasonable. I would put it 'around' the same category as my Onan (for noise) which would cost around $4000+ but the Onan also has a serious track record for reliability as well. I also ran a quick test to ensure it will support my needs. I plugged in my Starlink, my docking station with my laptop (I didn't plug in my two monitors, but the docking station likely pulls enough power to support anyway) as well as my buddy's laptop and the generator didn't bat an eye, no noise increase at all and everything was powered as expected.So, you may be wondering why I only give it 3-stars when I say that, thus far, it is working quite well. The biggest issue is false advertising. As some reviews have already pointed out, while this generator advertises that a parallel cable is included, it is NOT included. Granted, I may never need a parallel cable but, this purchase is supposed to include one & I am not the only person who did NOT receive one so, given that the listing states that the inclusion of the parallel cable is a $90 value, it sure seems like I am owed $90.Secondly, this generator is listed as having a 1.1-gallon fuel tank. I put .8 gallons of fuel in the tank but didn't pay attention to the fuel gauge (which is not great by the way b/c the plastic cover is difficult to see thru). I then ran the generator for maybe 20-30 minutes, at which point I DID look at the fuel gauge, which looked to be reading nearly empty. So, either this generator is sucking down fuel faster than my Cummins High Output in my Ram 3500 or the fuel gauge is garbage (at least on the one I received anyway).Finally, the manual uses HOURS for oil change intervals & if you search Amazon "reviews/questions" for "hours" as seen in my attached picture, "A-IPower" explicitly answered the user's question about whether this generator has an "hour meter" by stating that it DOES come with an "hour meter" but unless it is hidden somewhere (no mention of it in the included manual), this generator does NOT have an hour meter, therefore, YOU are expected to manually track how long you run this generator and then change the oil accordingly. That is TWO strikes against A-IPower for completely incorrect information, which is unacceptable, although, I guess my "hour meter" could be wherever my parallel cable ended up.I am still hoping this generator works well for my single purpose and I will know better soon since I am going on a 4-week remote working trip where I plan to use this generator 12-16 hours each day (I will be taking oil with me to do the initial oil change after 20-hours, give or take since it has no "hour meter" as specified in the manual). I will update my review based on how it actually performs during that period.

Style: 7600 Watts Dual FuelVerified Purchase
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.

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2022
Earlier in the week I visited a Sam’s Club in order to buy the AI 2000 watt (red) generator. Due to a nasty storm in the area, all of these generators were sold out ($349.97). I checked Amazon and found the same generator on sale for 320.00 so I ordered it.

The generator arrived in perfect condition only two days after ordering. Upon unpacking I found the box didn’t contain parallel cables or break in oil.

After reading many reviews, I followed the lead of others to ensure proper break-in.

First I filled the engine with a non-synthetic 10w-30 motor oil and swapped in a magnetic tip oil filler cap. Non synthetic oil may aid in helping the piston rings seat sooner. I added non-ethanol high octane gas with a cap full of gas stabilizer. I then proceeded to remove the spark plug in order to add just a little spray lubricant to the engine cylinder. I found that the spark plug was way over torqued. I was relieved to see that no thread damage had occurred to the cylinder head.

I cycled the piston several times in order to spread the lubricant throughout the cylinder walls. After replacing the spark plug it was time to start the generator.

I set the fuel dial to the full choke setting and gave the pull start rope a tug. To my amazement the engine fired up on the first pull. The engine smoked for over a minute as it burnt off the spray lubricant inside the cylinder.

I let the engine run in the economy mode for 10 minutes and then proceeded to change the oil. While changing the oil I saw one silver flake in the oil and some very fine black material on the magnetic fill plug. The black material was very minuscule and not alarming.

After refilling the engine with oil a second time, I started it and ran it for 30 minutes in economy mode and 30 minutes at high rpm. Then it was time for a second oil change. This time I saw no metal flakes in the oil and only saw a light amount of black material on the magnetic oil cap plug. Again the black material raised no concern for me.

After refilling the engine with oil for a third time I attempted to start it. Even though the engine was hot it required a full choke to start it. This time I set the engine to high rpm’s and added a slight power load. I let the engine run for one hour and again proceeded to change the engine oil. Once again I saw no metal flakes and only a minuscule amount of black material on the magnetic fill plug. At this point I changed the engine oil over to Amsoil 10w-30 small engine oil and called it a day.

Pros:
Impressed by the first pull initial start up. Has an easy access gas drain valve at carburetor. Very quiet operation when set at economy mode. Fan system inside generator housing draws ample air for cooling purposes.

Cons:
Disappointed the generator wants to be choked every start up, even when hot. Finicky recoil starter rope, doesn’t fully retract.

Suggestions:
Swap out the dip stick oil filler cap with a magnetic filler cap. Many types sold on Amazon. Break in with conventional oil and switch to synthetic oil after break in.

Overall it’s a great value for the money.

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2020
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 8/24/20

Checked 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 6/20/2022
I 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 6/28/2022
As 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 4/28/2023
I 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

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2020
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 8/24/20

Checked 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 6/20/2022
I 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 6/28/2022
As 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 4/28/2023
I 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 PCF

4.0 out of 5 stars I bought it for the 30 plug
Reviewed in Canada on May 17, 2023
It was the best option for me as I required a 30amp plug. So far so good
