WEN 56225i Generator Worth the money?
This video involves the testing of a WEN Model 56225i inverter generator. The tests include a load test both with the ECO mode off and with the ECO mode on. A sound test is made to compare with published sound ratings. A fuel consumption test was performed with the unit load to 50% of capacity.

If you found this video interesting you may be interesting in viewing another of my videos where I tested the distortion of the output of generators caused by a dimmer load. Several generators where used including a Honda inverter type.

Was looking for a usage overview for this exact generator and this one is better than I could possibly have hoped! Thank you!
Excellent testing, the best yet that I have seen on u tube.

Thank you for the kind response
How I would love to hang out with you and talk shop, Richard Baker! I love your load bank! The o-scope is a very nice touch, as is the watt meter. And without the tach, we wouldn't have been able to discern the very slight changes in engine rpm as load was added. I've been shopping chinesium inverter gens and had just about settled on a WEN. Your video is THE ONLY video I've seen so far that shows me that this generator produces very clean power and delivers what the manufacturer advertises. I know it takes a lot of work to produce these videos and we viewers are grateful to you for doing it. Thank you! I'm definitely subscribing to your channel and plan to spend the rest of my evening binge-watching your content!

thank you again for your comments.
Great video. No bone to pick but I think the half load fuel consumption should have been run with the Eco mode on as multiple surges weren't expected. You test better than any other channel I have seen. Thanks.

Good video. I have two of these (wen 2250) that I've had a couple of years now. I installed hour meters on mine when they were new. One has 130 hours and the other has 75 hours. They seem to be really good ones. 👍

Appreciate the informative video. I'm looking at one of these to run my A/C in my converted cargo trailer once I install a Soft Start box. Looks to be a good balance of value and quality. 👍

Thank you for your video Mr. Baker! question for you, What would be the measures that I should take in consideration before keeping the generator in my garage if I do not plan to use it for a year or more?

I suggest draining the tank and carb before placing in storage. If your generator has a battery I suggest leaving it connected to a battery tender. Don't use a trickle charger. The battery tenders have logic in them that prevents overcharging. On my WEN unit the carb bowl has a drain that discharges through a small nipple. A piece of small diameter gas hose can be connected to the nipple. Just allow the tank and carb to drain into an gas tank.
