The WEN 56380i is a gasoline-powered inverter generator rated at 3,400 running watts and 3,800 surge watts. It is built to mirror a pure sine wave. Total harmonic distortion stays under 0.3 percent at no load and under 1.2 percent at full load, so it can run laptops, cellphones, monitors, tablets and other sensitive electronics.
A 212cc 4-stroke air-cooled OHV engine runs at 57 decibels at quarter load. The 2.2-gallon tank gives over 8.5 hours of run time at half load. A fuel shutoff lets the engine burn the fuel left in the carburetor before it shuts down. An Eco-Mode switch adjusts fuel consumption automatically as items are plugged in and unplugged. Low-oil and low-fuel automatic shutdown, indicator lights and overload protection are included.
Built-in wheels and a folding handle make it easier to move. An oil access cover simplifies oil changes. The included spark arrestor allows use in national parks and campgrounds. Two units can be linked with the WEN GNA50i 50-Amp 6000-Watt Parallel Connection Kit, which is sold separately. The generator has a 2-year warranty.
