Remember when you had clean and quiet portable power? The Wen 56200i – 2000-Watt Portable Inverter Generator produces clean energy free of voltage spikes and drops without making all of the noise of a regular generator. Generate 2000 surge watts and 1600 rated watts of power.
Our 79.7 cc 4-stroke OHV engine operates at an extremely quiet 51 decibels at quarter load, quieter than a window air conditioner or the average conversation. This limits its invasiveness while hunting, camping, tailgating, and restoring backup power. Designed to mirror a pure sine wave, this generator limits total harmonic distortion to under 0.3 percent at no load and under 1.2 percent at full load, making it safe enough to run laptops, cellphones, monitors, tablets, and other vulnerable electronics.
The lightweight design makes for easy portability while the ultra-efficient one-gallon tank provides over 6 hours of half-load run time. 56200i This fully-packed panel comes equipped with two three-prong 120V receptacles, one 12V DC receptacle, and one 5V USB port. Maximize fuel economy by engaging the Wen 56200i – 2000-Watt Portable Inverter Generator Eco-Mode Throttle.
This feature allows the Wen 56200i – 2000-Watt Portable Inverter Generator motor to automatically adjust its fuel consumption as items are plugged and unplugged from the panel, preventing the usage of unnecessary gasoline. Need more energy? Easily link up two generators using a WEN 56421 Parallel Connection Kit (sold separately) in order to share wattage amongst multiple units. Low-oil and low-fuel automatic shutdown with indication lights along with overload protection safeguard both your generator and your electronics from damage.

So I ordered this Wen 56200i – 2000-Watt Portable Inverter Generator for the specific purpose of powering up my 18 ft. camper batteries (2 deep-cycle 6-volt golf cart batteries) during the day so that my lights, water pump, and the heater would work overnight so that I could dry camp in the mountains. I took it out for the first time on our 10 day / 9 night family vacation recently. Five of the nine nights we camped without electricity and water and the generator operated flawlessly.
First, it was easy to get ready. I did have to add oil, but as I change the oil in my cars and other smaller equipment regularly this was easy. The oil fill area is easy to get to and well marked. It was easy to learn how to start, and it is easy to start it. My 17-year-old son easily learned to start and operate it as well. Second, it runs fairly quiet. My in-laws own a Honda and I don't make any claim that this runs as quiet as theirs (but the Hondas are also much more expensive), but it still ran really pretty quiet especially in economy mode, which I used most of the time.
Four of the nights we camped in forest service campgrounds with other campers and I was trying to be considerate of them, and for the most part, I do not think they were bothered or even noticed much (I did make sure to run it most of the time during the day). I was running it about 20 ft from our campfire and was still able to have a comfortable conversation with my family. Third, it charged and ran most of my appliances.
When Wen 56200i – 2000-Watt Portable Inverter Generator was running all of my camper appliances including our small Microwave worked. The one exception was the AC unit, but as most of our camping is in the mountains we don't use that unit much and did not need it at all on this trip. I think it would take 2 of these units hooked up to run our AC. It charged the batteries from about half full to completely charged in under an hour every day.
Fourth, it was exceptionally fuel-efficient. I filled it before we left on vacation, and I took an extra gallon of gas along. I did not need the extra gallon, because in about 5 hours of running on the economy mode it used only 1/4 of the tank of gas! On the whole, I am very pleased with it. As long as I take care of it, I think it will probably last for years to come and make boondock camping much easier.
If I run into maintenance problems or if it breaks down in the first few years of use, I will come back and revise this review, but for now, it is just what we needed without having to pay the Honda price. This new orange version has a small door to add/check oil, no need to remove the entire cover! Amazingly quiet in both settings. I just got Wen 56200i – 2000-Watt Portable Inverter Generator today and I'm running my 5000btu AC unit for a test and it works fine on eco mode with no change in throttle with the compressor turning on.
I'm a Floridian and have been thru 8+ hurricanes, and without power for 3 weeks one time. I have always had a heavy /loud /gas-consuming, and not very portable 6500-watt generator to get me by, but it sucks if you only need a few basics covered. (fridge and a small AC and a few lights)The big one is good for doing laundry, running 220v items, and such, but not great for smaller issues.
Plus your neighbors will HATE you for running it all night for the same things like a few lights! It runs stably with hardly any shaking and it is as thrifty as claimed. The fuel gauge is very useful. Checking the oil after the first change, there was hardly any debris in the oil and it was not particularly dark. The generator is not as powerful as the Honda 2000 generator and its durability is yet to be determined but for the $415+tax that I paid for it, it is 5 stars.
