About WEN 5600-Watt Portable Generator
Overall Feedback:
92% positive
87% liked the quiet operation, however, 13% found it too noisy
I measured the decibel levels using the NIOSH app while running a 10000 btu portable ac unit.
The noise level of this generator is 79db, which is louder than the advertised 72db. It made me uncomfortable within 20ft of the generator.
The noise level of the generator is too loud to use with an RV if anyone else is close by.
The noise level of the generator is very high, and it's an understatement.
91% found the portability convenient
I highly recommend the generator as it is easy to move with the wheels.
92% appreciated the power output, while 8% felt it was insufficient
I can run the generator for 10-12 hours on full output and 5-7 hours more on Eco mode while charging my phone, 4 battery banks of 20,000 mah, 2 fans, box fan, 1 table lamp and small fridge/freezer.
I have used a killawatt meter and a true RMS meter and the generator delivers big power. I have never seen power this clean from line power, a generator or even a pure sine wave inverter.
The generator is powerful enough to run everything overnight, including AC, fans, and a few small lights, without causing any noise issues. It is reasonable in comparison to my previous generator.
The power output of our inverter generator is clean and steady at 60hz.

87% were satisfied with the long run time
I found the generator to be fuel efficient, running for about 5 hours on 2.5 gallons.
I have been using this generator for over a year now and tested its run time by running it for 3 months solid this summer. It can handle a specific load and temperature range, and I have used a type of oil that requires no oil between changes.
On the remote jobsite, I ran a big fan, charged cordless tool batteries, and used a RO sander while the generator provided a solid 8-9 hours of runtime per tank.
The generator can run for 10-12 hours on full output and 5-7 hours more on Eco mode while charging multiple devices including phone, battery banks, fans, table lamp and small fridge/freezer.
85% liked safety features
When putting the generator into long term storage, it has drainage features for gas, which is a thoughtful design.
94% appreciated the size and weight
My favorite part of the generator is that it weighs under 100 pounds.
The generator is very maneuverable with retractable leverage arms despite weighing about 100 lbs.
