Westinghouse iGen5000 Generator vs WEN 56380i Inverter Generator

The WEN 56380i is the better pick for RV owners and anyone who needs clean, quiet power with a TT-30R outlet and USB ports. The Westinghouse iGen5000 gives you more output, longer runtime and remote start, which suits home backup and job sites. Both are inverter units with low distortion, but owners report the WEN runs quieter at light loads while the Westinghouse carries heavier loads for longer. Build quality is close; the Westinghouse backs its unit with a three-year warranty versus two years for the WEN.

• Choose the Westinghouse iGen5000 if you need to run a transfer switch, a larger RV air conditioner or power tools, and want remote start and long runtime from a big tank.
• Choose the WEN 56380i if you want a lighter, very quiet inverter with a built-in TT-30R RV outlet, USB ports and a fuel shutoff that makes storage easier.
