Wen 56200i vs Predator 2000w Generator Review

x

WEN 56200i Generator 1 year review.

In this episode we review the WEN 56200i inverter generator.

WEN Generator
15A to 30A pigtail
Boeshield T9

We were in the market for a 2000W inverter generator about a year ago. We looked at the Yamaha and Honda options but thought $1000.00 was a bit steep. Then we stumbled upon the WEN 56200i. This generator boasted the same running and peak wattage 1600/2000 as the Honda and Yamaha generators but costs about half as much. We were a little apprehensive about the purchase believing you usually get what you pay for, but we were pleasantly surprised with the WEN 56200i. This generator comes with an Eco-Mode that can adjust the RPMs based upon the electrical load. It is also capable of parallel connections with a Parallel Kit allowing you to hook up another generator if you need larger electrical capacity. This is a Pure Sine Wave system allowing you to hook up your sensitive electronics without worry.

This system is fairly quiet at anchor and the 8 hour run time on a tank of gas could allow you to run it throughout the night. It will get up to about 60 decibels at peak power which is comparable to the Honda or Yamaha. We do usually turn it off if we are near other cruisers, just to be courteous but we have gone to sleep with it on.

We use a pigtail in one of the two three-prong 120V receptacles and a jumper in the other. The jumper allows the system to no fault for the reverse polarity indicator on our AC panel. The pigtail gets plugged into our shore power cord and the boat. This allows all of our outlets and any other AC powered systems in the boat to get power. There is also a 12V DC receptacle and a 5V USB Port if you need more hookups at the generator.

The WEN 56200i also has several safety features to keep the system running smoothly. The Overload Protection, Low-Oil Shutdown, and Low Fuel Shutdown help ensure you won’t damage your generator or run it completely out of fuel.

While this is a portable generator you want to make sure you have room to store it on your boat. It measures 18X11X18 and weighs just under 50lbs making it a little hard to store on a small sailboat. Lisa made a Sunbrella cover to keep it out of the direct sunlight while it’s on the deck. We also disassembled the generator and prepped it for the marine environment using high-temperature paint and Boeshield T-9 to keep corrosion at bay.

We have a 12,500 BTU AC and heat system aboard Starjewel. This generator has enough power to run the air conditioner and charge phones, computers, and the battery bank. However, it did not have enough power to start the compressor every time. We installed a SUPCO Hard Start capacitor to our air conditioner. This allows us to run our AC and almost anything else aside from the microwave at the same time. This little capacitor has really expanded our comfort at anchor in the winter and summer.

⚡️ WEN 56200i Portable Inverter Generator Review ⚡️

WEN 56200i Portable Inverter Generator Review. Quiet, Handy, Very Easy To Start, Smooth Pull Cord! Great design and super economical on gas. Really Nice Unit! Does Exactly What I Wanted!
???? DISCOUNT (expire soon), click here to get it ➡️

If you look for a good generator, especially for camping, look no further than this WEN 56200i. It's quiet, fairly light and the motor never misses. It is very quiet, handy, and easy to start. The pull start is very smooth, takes very little effort to start this unit. This WEN portable generator puts out enough power to run the Air Conditioner (5000 BTU) in my Camper, and run the Microwave.

First of all, I bought this Wen 56200i generator because it's very attractive. Inside it seems to have nearly the quality level of the Yamaha although there are differences. The engine is the same design but it has a dipstick whereas the Yamaha only has a plug. The spark plugs use different size wrenches. The inverter on the Yamaha is cased but the circuit board components are open on the WEN.

Furthermore, this WEN 2000w inverter generator 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 pull to start it

I also love the ease of pulling the start engine cord. Smooth easy pull. It starts up easily and is very quiet. A little on the heavy side for me at 48 pounds, plus 8 pounds for a full tank of gas, but 48 pounds is doable.

This WEN 56200i super quiet generator 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!

PROS:
Very quiet, vibrates very little, easy to carry, gas gauge, eco-mode which really does slow it down when more than 1000 watts aren't needed, low oil shutdown, USB charging port along with 12v charging port for batteries, starts first pull every time, and has a convenient one-knob rotating control which chokes and turns generator AND fuel on/off instead of three separate controls.

This WEN 56200i portable inverter generator charged and ran most of my appliances. When it was running all of my camper appliances including our small Microwave worked. It charged the batteries from about half full to completely charged in under an hour every day.

CONS:
The spark plug is harder to find size so I converted it to NGK and ordered a couple of spares.

On the whole, I am very pleased with it. This Wen 56200i 2000-watt generator is a really nice unit, great value by the price. Small enough to be mobile but powerful enough to do the job. As long as I take care of it, I think it will probably last for years to come and make boondock camping much easier. Very good purchase. Highly recommend.

WEN 2000 INVERTER GENERATOR INITIAL REVEIW (2019)

My initial thoughts on the WEN inverter generator purchased from the Home Depot. Generator was ordered online and sent to the store for pick up. The front of the case was damaged and broken and not sure if the damage was from the factory or the shipping but did not hinder the start up and use of the generator. If i had time i would have sent it back for an undamage one but i was days away from my trip that i needed it on and was afraid that the home depot could not deliver. So if Home Depot is listening i would like one that didn't have factory/shipping damage just saying.

Best Generator for RV Boondocking (Top 3)

This video is about Top 3 best generator for rv boondocking.

Boondocking in RV is great fun but also has power requirements. Getting a portable generator for your RV is a therefore a must while boondocking or dry camping in your rv or pop up camper or travel trailer. Off grid camping in travel trailer needs a lightweight and portable generator.

Below are the top 3 best generators you can buy while boondocking in your camper.

1.Champion 3100-watt Portable Inverter Generator :
2. WEN 56200i 2000-watt Portable Inverter Generator :
3. Westinghouse iGen2500 Inverter Generator :


Each of these generators are great in terms of price, weight and portability. They are priced very nicely and hence you can afford any one of them. Other best generators from Honda or Yamaha are priced higher and hence they didn't make to this list.

While Boondocking you will not have shore power like in campground and therefore getting right size generator is very much necessary. Choosing right watts for the generator is also critical. These generators that i have selected are good enough to run an air conditioner or refrigerator in your RV or travel trailer or motorhome.

These are the best generators you can have inside your RV with no other power source.

Running a 30 amp Camper With Two Harbor Freight Predator Generators

This is two Harbor Freight 1,600 - 2,000 watt generators connected with a parallel connector. For this test I ran the A/C, refrigerator and television. I would probably turn something off before kicking on the coffee maker or microwave. These generators are super quiet and you can barely hear them running inside.

I got this system primarily for emergency power but the twin generators give me the flexibility to take one when I don't need the big setup. The twin generator configuration means double the maintenance and higher up front costs. We felt the costs were justified because the generators are easier to move. I couldn't life the 3,500 watt generator but I can load these in the truck without assistance.

Wen Inverter Generator Maintenance

In this video I show you how to maintain your Wen Inverter Generator by cleaning the air filter, changing the oil, checking the spark plug, and cleaning the spark arrester.

Harbor Freight Predator 3500 watt generator Noise Test running the RV Air Conditioner?

In this video, we test both the Harbor Freight Predator 3500 watt generator and the Generac ix2000 generator for noise levels while running our Dometic 10,500 btu Cool Cat air conditioner in our 2018 NuCamp T@B 400. We measure the sound using a decibel meter app on our iphone from 23 feet away from the generator.

PLAYLISTS
Did you know I have a playlist of tech videos from my van build?


I also have a playlist of just travel videos if you don't like all the tech stuff:


============================

I left the rat race to live full time on the road and so can you! The key to freedom is to lower your expenses. In my former life, I managed a company that struggled to stay out of the red. This is where I learned to hone my frugality skills and use them to my own advantage by becoming a minimalist at home. The biggest expense we all have living in a sticks and bricks is our rent or mortgage. We work most of our adult lives to make a bank or landlord / landlady rich! With ever increasing real estate prices and stagnant wages the cost of living has skyrocketed. Many can barely make ends meet and live paycheck to paycheck. You can stop the madness by thinking outside the box and joining this growing movement of full-timers that enjoy van-dwelling or RV living. If you dream about a life of travel you can do it incredibly cheap just by downsizing your lifestyle into a RV or van tiny house and becoming mobile.

In this series, I go from a home in the Los Angeles hills packed full of stuff and owning two cars to full-timing in a Roadtrek campervan in less than 6 months. I buy an old camper van on Craigslist and deck it out just like home with all kinds of technology to make life comfortable on the road. I hope to encourage those that think they can't do it by showing how it CAN be done by planning carefully and taking baby steps.

Sound test of the WEN GN400i generator. RAW 2750 watt draw with sound meter app on phone

This was requested by a viewer to have me record the generator running and under load then try to record using a sound meter app on my phone. Not the best as far as quality since I had a lot of glare. Filmed using my GoPro 7 and sound meter app on my Pixel 3A XL. The load devices are a heat dish of 1250 watts and heater that is 1500 watt draw for a total of 2750 watts (math is grand!)

I don't know how accurate this app is but both of my phones it read the same value.

Sorry about the glare! I may try to re-record this but wanted to get it up for Chris in NY!
Thanks for your comments and views! I will get better... (smile)

Brand New WEN 4050 watt Generator start up

Black friday Deal 189.99 couldnt pass this up. Bought this generator for emergency sump pump use and camping in the future. Generator assembly was easy and straighy forward. Used 5w-20 oil for winter use. First pull started right up 50 degree day. Generator idles as loud as it is on a 1,500 watt load. Will definetly build a noise reducing box for it in the future to keep neighborhoods happy. Overall for the size and weight of this thing i cant complain. Will do more videos on cold start ups and see the durabilty of this over time. Thanks for watching.

Predator 3500 Inverter Generator

We decided it was time to pick up a generator. We were leaning hard towards a Honda, Yamaha, or Champion, but couldn't say no to the price of a Predator from Harbor Freight.

I unbox it, get it running, then do a break-in oil change. Overall we are VERY happy with it so far.
