About WEN 5600-Watt Portable Generator, 224cc, Transfer-Switch and RV-Ready (GN5600)
Overall Feedback:
92% positive
95% found it easy to transport, while 5% struggled
It was very easy to transport and I used it in the back of my truck to power a tree limb trimmer to clean up after snow and wind had taken down lots of trees.
The generator is compact and not too heavy, making it easy to carry. It can be lifted by one person but is easier to move with two people.
The inverter-generator is fairly light and easy to move, but not very portable.
94% appreciated the fuel efficiency
I have noticed that Wen Generator is noticeably more efficient than any other brand I have used.

78% appreciated the low maintenance, though 22% didn't
It is essential to follow proper maintenance, startup, and shutdown procedures as mentioned in the manual, especially for those who are new to generators. If not followed, it may lead to issues in the future.
The generator comes with 3 carb jets for different altitude ranges and instructions for changing them are included in the manual and little bags.
The oil is black with metallic specks and the magnetic dipstick is caked with shavings, indicating higher maintenance requirements for the inverter-generator.
85% liked the quiet operation, but 15% found it loud
When using the generator to charge a phone or idling, the noise level is almost accurate.
The noise level of the inverter-generator is high, comparable to a plain open frame conventional generator.
I posted the decibel levels I got using the NIOSH app while running a 10000 btu portable ac unit.
I was disappointed with the noise level, which was higher than expected compared to a regular generator.

91% praised the power output, but 9% experienced fluctuations
The power output of our inverter generator is clean and steady at 60hz.
The inverter-generator has a steady power output of 6,700 watts and a peak of 7,250 watts in parallel, or 3,320 watts as a single unit.
The inverter delivers power with a stable voltage and frequency of 60-60.1 hertz. I have never seen power this clean from line power, a generator or even a pure sine wave inverter.
I bought the inverter generator for its power to weight ratio and it performed flawlessly when I ran it for an hour with a load. I plan to buy a second one in the near future as I believe it is a well-made design for occasional power outages and RV trips.
