As the WEN 56200i 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 56200i.
- Engine: The 121cc engine of the Honda EU2200i is significantly bigger than the WEN 56200i's engine, which has a displacement of 79.7cc.
- Power: With a running wattage of 1,800 W, the Honda EU2200i will allow to power more appliances and tools than the 1,600 running watts of the WEN 56200i. Moreover, compared to the 2,000 starting watts of the WEN 56200i, the Honda EU2200i and its starting wattage of 2,200 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 56200i offers a higher runtime on a full tank than the Honda EU2200i: it can operate for up to 9.4 hours, whereas the Honda EU2200i offers a maximum runtime of 8.1 hours.
- Fuel Efficiency: With a gasoline consumption at 25% load of 0.11 GPH (gallon per hour), the WEN 56200i 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 56200i) and are therefore perfectly suitable to safely power your sensitive electronic devices.
- Noise: With 48 dBA, the noise emitted by the Honda EU2200i is slightly lower than the 50 dBA of the WEN 56200i. While this difference could seem insignificant, the former should still be easier on your ears.
Portability Comparison
- Bulkiness: As these two products share the same overall bulk, neither of them will really take up less storage space.
- Weight: With a weight of 47.4 lbs, the EU2200i is slightly less heavy than the 56200i (which weighs 50 lbs).
- 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 56200i 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 56200i's product pages.
- Data Center & Fuel Gauge: The Honda EU2200i offers a better insight into its power production than the WEN 56200i, because it is equipped with a data center. Besides that, thanks to a fitted fuel gauge, the WEN 56200i 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.
