WEN 56477i 4800-Watt Portable Inverter Generator, 72.7 pounds

This little generator is the best value I have ever seen. The quality is exceptionally good, and it always starts on the first or second pull. The output of the inverter Meets or Exceeds the Rated Capacity for continuous as well as surge load. (I'm an electrical engineer, and generators are something of a hobby to me. I own a lot of them) This is Huge because a lot of other inverter generators do not come close to the rated output, or suffer Serious voltage drops when subjected to load spikes (like starting an air conditioner). These WEN units provide exceptional surge capability and excel at starting inductive loads like air conditioners (provided you have a soft-start installed). I have a pair of these 56477i units with manual start. They are so easy to start, I see the electric start option as overkill and something else that needs a battery to maintain. Two of these units (with my self-designed Phase Sync Box that creates 240v Split-Phase Power) run my Entire House, including the 4-Ton AC, a 1-Ton Mini-Split AC, Two Refrigerators, A Chest Freezer, and all lights and computers Simultaneously ! I just alternate which one of these I take on trips with my RV so they get even usage, and while at home the pair of them make a very portable 9600 Watt Whole-House Generator (for 1/3rd the cost). I also have four of the 2350 watt suitcase-style generators from WEN. (The 56235i models) I can also say that a pair of the 2350 units do exactly match the power and performance of the 4800. I also run my entire house exactly as stated above using FOUR of the 2350 units with my Phase-Sync Box. Here are a couple of pictures. All I can say is that these units provide exceptional bang for the buck. Keep the oil changed often as these little engines do not have oil filters, and keep fuel stabilizer in the gas.

Purchased for use with my camper. I was a little nervous buying, but I'm glad I did. It starts easier than the Honda generator I have at work. Runs quiet, and has more than enough power to run my AC, lights, fridge, and microwave. Zero issues. I did purchase the high altitude kit and magnetic oil dip stick. My boss liked it so much that he bought one for his own personal use too.

I have the 2000W version from WEN and this machine is almost as quiet as that one. Did all the initial stuff that is outlined in the documentation and it started on the 2nd pull. From my experience with my 2000w, as long as you run the fuel out of the carb, the next time you start it will within 5 pulls. WEN makes a great product and I really like the fact that it has the 30 amp plug and can run the air conditioner in my trailer. Enjoy!

The WEN 56477i 4800-Watt Portable Inverter Generator is a fantastic investment! It delivers smooth, clean power for sensitive electronics and handles heavy loads effortlessly. The quiet operation and fuel efficiency are impressive, while the portable design makes it easy to transport. Perfect for camping, emergencies, or job sites. Highly recommend for reliable backup power! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great high powered compact generator. Used for camping weekend with teardrop trailer, party lights and shared with other campers powering lights and fans. Easy! Powerful enough to power appliances at house if power outage. Very pleased. Great price.

UPDATE: I never imagined I’d be writing this. So, the first use was flawless. Camping trip was a success. Stored it per mfr recommendations. Now that I want to use it, IT WILL NOT START. I read a few reviews like this but now I’m experiencing this issue. I’m not new to small engine equipment and this is ridiculous.I cannot in good conscience recommend this unit.I’ve owned other WEN products over the years and was less than satisfied for many of them… until now. I needed an inverter generator for an RV trip that could completely support the RV. 4000w is what I needed and this was the best option on paper available in that power range.This unit ran the AC, lights, pumps, appliances without a hitch. This was not a temporary run but rather constant operation with exception of refeulling and an oil drop after the first 9hrs of constant operation. A total of 70+ hrs were run on this unit afterwards.The most surprising stat is how much runtime I got from a full tank. 12hrs at one point before running dry. I received many compliments from others about the noise level being so low. They all had open frame models that were definitely louder.I was unsure of this purchase but I’m now a believer. WEN, you changed my mind.
