As the WEN 56235i and the Honda EU2200i do not share the same manufacturer, their overall build and technology in use can vary.
Power Comparison
The following charts are provided to show you at a glance how the main specs of the Honda EU2200i compare to the WEN 56235i.
- Engine: The 121cc engine of the Honda EU2200i is significantly bigger than the WEN 56235i's engine, which has a displacement of 79cc.
- Power: With a running wattage of 1,900 W, the WEN 56235i will allow to power more appliances and tools than the 1,800 running watts of the Honda EU2200i. Moreover, compared to the 2,200 starting watts of the Honda EU2200i, the WEN 56235i and its starting wattage of 2,350 W will give more power to start the appliances which require an additional boost to get their motor running.
- Runtime: When loaded to 25% of their max capacity, the WEN 56235i offers a higher runtime on a full tank than the Honda EU2200i: it can operate for up to 10.5 hours, whereas the Honda EU2200i offers a maximum runtime of 8.1 hours.
- Fuel Efficiency: With a gasoline consumption at 25% load of 0.1 GPH (gallon per hour), the WEN 56235i is more fuel efficient than the Honda EU2200i and its 0.12 GPH. The former's operation will therefore cost less in terms of the money spent on gasoline. Inverter generators like these 2 are of the most fuel efficient (and quiet) type.
- THD: Both generators offer a low THD (<3% for the Honda EU2200i and <1.2% for the WEN 56235i) and are therefore perfectly suitable to safely power your sensitive electronic devices.
- Noise: With a noise of 48 dBA, the Honda EU2200i allows for a quieter operation than the 51 dBA of the WEN 56235i. The former will therefore be the most suitable for you if you take noise emission seriously.
Portability Comparison
- Bulkiness: As these two products share the same overall bulk, neither of them will really take up less storage space.
- Weight: The 56235i and its 39 lbs is somewhat lighter than the 47.4 lbs of the EU2200i.
- Portability: Both offer a handle, which improves your grip when you wish to move them around.
Feature Comparison
- Starting System: Both devices can get running via a conventional pull-start mechanism.
- Outlets: The Honda EU2200i and the WEN 56235i both offer 2 AC outlets. None of them feature GFCI outlets. The latter also offers a DC output. In addition, it is worth noting that they both only produce 120V. For more detailed information regarding all their respective receptacles, refer to the Honda EU2200i's and the WEN 56235i's product pages.
- Data Center & Fuel Gauge: The Honda EU2200i offers a better insight into its power production than the WEN 56235i, because it is equipped with a data center. Besides that, thanks to a fitted fuel gauge, the WEN 56235i provides instant visibility of the fuel level.
- Technology: The Honda EU2200i benefits from a welcomed additional security feature: its CO Minder technology monitors carbon monoxide and automatically shuts off the generator if the ambient levels become unsafe. Besides that, the Honda EU2200i offers you greater convenience by allowing you to monitor its vital stats via the My Generator mobile app. Fuel Shut Off: The WEN 56235i benefits from a fuel shutoff feature, which turns off the flow of fuel, allowing for the generator to use up the remaining fuel from the carburetor before automatically shutting down. This helps fight the build-up and blockages caused by stagnant fuel inside the carburetor, minimizing maintenance while prolonging the unit’s lifespan.
