WEN 56477i - 4000/4800W Inverter Generator

In summary, the WEN 56477i is a compact and lightweight portable inverter generator especially useful for:

• RV travellers looking for even more independence
• Occasional participants of outdoor events, competitions, concerts and festivals
• Homeowners who want to be sure of their ability to power their fridges, cooking tools, heating and lighting equipment during power failures

The following sections will present you in detail its power characteristics, the different outlets it offers, its overall portability, and the extra features it benefits from.

Power & Run Time

The WEN 56477i's core is the 224 cc OHV 4-stroke engine, which runs on gasoline. With an output of 120V, it provides a running wattage of 4,000W and a peak wattage of 4,800W. Furthermore, the parallel capability (parallel kit not included) offers the advantage of increasing power output when connected to another similar or compatible unit, delivering expanded energy capacity and flexibility for various applications.

At a noise rating of 62 dBA (just slightly more noisy than background music), the inverter generator is started via a manual recoil starter system.

With a full tank, the 56477i can operate for around 7 hours at 50% load (fuel consumption around 0.27 GPH), thanks to its fuel capacity of 1.9 gallon.

With a <1.2% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), the 56477i delivers a clean sine wave—essential for safeguarding your delicate electronics when plugged into its AC outlets.

Outlets

The control panel features 5 AC outlets as follows:

Moreover, it presents 3 DC outlets: there's a 12V 8A (cigarette lighter style) receptacle allowing you to easily charge your batteries and two 5V USB ports (USB-A) with which charging of electronics like mobile phones and tablets is made convenient.

Featuring a TT-30R receptacle (TT for 'Travel Trailer'), this WEN generator is RV Ready, designed specifically for use with recreational vehicles.

Portability

The WEN 56477i's characteristic encased inverter generator design (L23.8 x W12.6 x H22.1 in) provides an aesthetic advantage and contributes to quieter operation compared to any ordinary, open frame product. The design follows the contemporary trends and is perfect for recreationally generating power.

The 56477i can be taken anywhere with you, thanks to its weight of 72.7 lbs. Moreover, its set of 2 wheels and its telescopic handle will allow you to easily shift it once it's on the ground.

Features

The 56477i's control panel

The control panel of the 56477i includes a digital data center, which assists you in monitoring its status and activity, as it provides information on the lifetime run hours, frequency, fuel level, voltage and power output.

In addition to this info, light indicators on the device will signal if the generator is ready, the generator is overloaded and the oil level is too low.

The fuel shutoff feature turns off the flow of fuel, allowing for the 56477i 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.

From a security standpoint, the product offers a low fuel automatic shutdown, an automatic low oil shut-off and an overload protection (circuit breaker), allowing you to use it with a peace of mind.

Alongside the standard documentation and an owner's manual (opens in a new tab) for quick setup, the WEN 56477i is bundled with additional accessories: oil, tool kit and funnel.
