4,000 running watts, 5,000 at start-up

That's the running figure the listing states, on gasoline. Room for the fridge, a few lamps, the router and the phones, as long as the coffee maker waits its turn. Central air and a 240 V well pump are out of its league.

What it has going for it

What changes at the campsite and in an outage

Gasoline or propane. Propane keeps for years in a sealed tank and won't gum up the carburetor between storms; gasoline gives you more watts. Propane is rated lower, so find that figure in the manual.

CO sensor. A sensor that watches the carbon monoxide around the unit, per the listing. Treat it as a backup: the generator still belongs outside, about 20 ft from doors and windows.

Campsite or outage night?

At the campsite: the listing states 68 dB, per the listing. Campgrounds set generator hours; look them up before the trip.

On outage night: with 4,000 running watts, the A-iPower 5,000W Gas & Propane handles the fridge, a few lamps and the chargers. Anything on a 240 V breaker is a job for a bigger unit.

Great for you if…

You'd rather store propane tanks than cans of gas
Kids or pets in the house make CO safety a must
You want to sleep through the night without a refill

Skip it if…

You'd rather wait for buyer reviews: none are captured for this listing yet
You'd rather not pull a recoil cord on a cold morning: the listing names no electric start
You want quiet power at a campsite: it's an open frame, not an inverter

Outlets, fuel and what's in the box

What the A-iPower 5,000W Gas & Propane listing names:

4,000 running watts, 5,000 peak
Runs on gasoline and propane
Outlets named: L14-30R, L5-30R
CO sensor
68 dB, per the listing
223 cc engine

Warranty & support: A 3-year warranty, as stated in the listing.

That is the maker's promise, not ours. Keep the order confirmation, and register the A-iPower 5,000W Gas & Propane if the maker asks you to.

The manual has the last word on fuel, oil and the outlet ratings; read it before the first start.

Price and cost per 1,000 running watts

$549.99 Price on Sep 30, 2026 · may have changed

At the price on Sep 30, 2026, each 1,000 running watts works out at about $137.50 (price ÷ stated running watts, our arithmetic). That puts it in the cheaper third of the 33 generators up to 4,000 running watts we have a price and a stated running figure for.

Add a fuel can, stabilizer and a quart of oil for the first fill to the budget.

The button opens the exact listing (ASIN B0CTTR3R5D), where today's price, stock and seller apply.

A better fit for your load list?

Want it quieter, or cleaner power for electronics? The Westinghouse 5,000W Dual Fuel Inverter (9.2/10) is an inverter, per its listing.

Rather not pull a cord on a January morning? The WEN DF451i (7.4/10) has electric start.

Well pump or central air on the list? The Champion 8,500W Dual Fuel Inverter (7.8/10) is rated 7,000 running watts.

Our take

The verdict

We like the A-iPower 5,000W Gas & Propane for 4,000 running and 5,000 peak watts and the choice of gasoline or propane. No buyer has reviewed it yet, so our 7.3/10 comes from the spec sheet alone. Honestly, the catch: no word on the propane rating. We'd pick it if you'd rather store propane tanks than cans of gas; otherwise, put it next to the Champion 4,750W Dual Fuel first.

Living with it

Delivery day

Fill it with oil before the first start, then run it for a few minutes outside with a small load.

The first outage

Pull the cord, let it warm up, then add loads one at a time, the biggest motor first. Propane or gas: decide before the storm and have the hose and the tank ready. The 20 hours on the listing are at a light load; plan a refill at night.

Between storms

Run it every month or so for 20 minutes. On propane you avoid stale gas in the carburetor; on gas, add stabiliser or run it dry before storage. Our maintenance schedule has the full list.

Upkeep

First oil change after the break-in hours in the manual (the hour meter counts them), then on schedule. Air filter and spark plug once a season, and a cover for the months it sits.

The one thing we'd check first

Before the A-iPower 5,000W Gas & Propane ships, check your load list: 4,000 running watts (5,000 at start-up) have to cover everything you run at once, motor surges included.

Before you buy

Your load list

Read the label on each appliance (or the manual) for its running watts, and note which ones have a motor. Our running vs starting watts guide explains why the motor ones need the extra surge.

How it reaches the house

Plan on heavy-duty extension cords to the appliances, or ask an electrician which inlet and switch would match its outlets. Our interlock vs transfer switch guide compares the two routes.

Where it will run

Outside only, about 20 ft from doors, windows and vents, exhaust pointing away (the CO sensor is a backup, not a permission). Pick the spot now, before the storm. Our CO safety and placement guide has the details.

Fuel for three days

Gasoline goes stale in a few months without stabiliser; propane keeps. Check the propane rating in the manual if propane is your plan. Our fuel storage guide covers storage.

How it compares

How the A-iPower 5,000W Gas & Propane stacks up against the closest alternative, the Champion 4,750W Dual Fuel.

Criterion	A-iPower 5,000W Gas & Propane	Champion 4,750W Dual Fuel
Our rating	7.3/10	7.4/10
Running watts	4,000 W	3,800 W
Peak watts	5,000 W	4,750 W
Start	Not stated	Electric
Runtime	20 h at 25 %	14 h

Pick the Champion 4,750W Dual Fuel if you want our higher-rated option (7.4/10), with electric start; stay with the A-iPower 5,000W Gas & Propane for more running watts (4,000 W) and a higher peak (5,000 W).

Frequently asked questions

Is the A-iPower 5,000W Gas & Propane any good?

We rate it 7.3/10 (good). The rating comes from its documented listing alone, as no customer-review record is captured yet.

How many watts does the A-iPower 5,000W Gas & Propane deliver?

The listing or manual states 4,000 W running and 5,000 W peak, usually for gasoline. Size your load list against the running watts and keep the peak for motor starts; propane and natural gas ratings are lower. These are the seller's figures, not our measurements (our sizing calculator turns your loads into a running and peak pair).

Which fuels does the A-iPower 5,000W Gas & Propane run on?

The listing names gasoline and propane. Output differs by fuel, so check the per-fuel running watts in the manual and whether the hoses you need come in the box. Run it outdoors only, away from doors, windows and vents.

What do you get with the A-iPower 5,000W Gas & Propane?

Its listing states 4,000 running watts (5,000 at start-up), the choice of gasoline or propane, a built-in CO sensor, up to 20 hours per tank at 25 % load and a 3-year warranty. These are the seller's figures, not our measurements: how loud it is in your driveway and how it handles your well pump's surge can't be read from a listing.

What should I check before ordering the A-iPower 5,000W Gas & Propane?

Your load list: read the label on each appliance (or the manual) for its running watts, and note which ones have a motor. Our running vs starting watts guide explains why the motor ones need the extra surge. How it reaches the house: plan on heavy-duty extension cords to the appliances, or ask an electrician which inlet and switch would match its outlets. Our interlock vs transfer switch guide compares the two routes. Where it will run: outside only, about 20 ft from doors, windows and vents, exhaust pointing away (the CO sensor is a backup, not a permission). Pick the spot now, before the storm. Our CO safety and placement guide has the details. Fuel for three days: gasoline goes stale in a few months without stabiliser; propane keeps. Check the propane rating in the manual if propane is your plan. Our fuel storage guide covers storage.

Where can I buy the A-iPower 5,000W Gas & Propane?

We link to the exact listing on Amazon, where today's price, stock and seller apply. It is an affiliate link, and it has no effect on the rating.

Have you used the A-iPower 5,000W Gas & Propane yourselves?

No, we haven't used it ourselves. Everything on this page comes from its listing, read line by line and weighed with our published formula, plus our editors' read of how it compares with its rivals.
