About WEN 56235i Super Quiet 2350-Watt Portable Inverter Generator
Overall Feedback:
76% positive
92% found it resistant to various weather conditions, but 8% experienced issues
I used the WEN generator in cloudy/rainy/snowy weather conditions and it charged the batteries back up to 78% in 2 hours.
The recommended cover 56200iC appears to be weather resistant and of high quality.
I used 15W-40 synthetic oil in the generator and it did not start when the temperature was -25 below. It could be due to the cold temperature.
94% found it easy to start up
After following the start-up instructions, I was able to fire the generator to life on the second pull.
I found the start-up process of the generator super easy and was able to start it with just one pull of the cord/cable.
91% appreciated the long runtime
I am running two compact fridges, 4 fans, 3 TVs, and charging phones on the generator for 24 hours.
89% appreciated the high power output, but 11% found it insufficient
I can generate up to 2000 watts with my generator, which is enough to make power outages bearable.
I was able to sustain around 1850w of power output before the overload light would come on.
When I ramped up the engine because of a load or turned off ECO mode, the voltage ranged from high 14s to low 17s.
I have noticed that the generator puts out its rated output of 1600 watts, but no more.
93% found it easy to transport, but 7% found it bulky
The generator is portable but its size and weight make it difficult to store on a small sailboat.
97% were satisfied with the quiet operation
On eco mode, the noise level is super low and on standard mode, it is very low, around 60 decibels.
The noise level is like two extroverts having a conversation, not two introverts whispering.
91% liked the fuel efficiency
When we have all the loads hooked up, we burn a gallon every 6-8 hours. But during the day, with just the fridge and deep freeze going, a gallon lasts almost 12 hours.
I usually run the generator for 7-8 hours and there is always fuel left in the tank because it is very fuel efficient.
88% liked the sturdy construction
I can say that the generator is quality built, although it's too early to tell about its durability and reliability.
The build quality of the generator is nearly the same as the $1000 name brand Y/H units and much better than some of the other clones.
