WEN 56125i 1250-Watt Gas-Powered Inverter Generator - 56125i
Remember when you had power at the tailgate? Bring a little light in your life with the WEN 1250-Watt Inverter Generator. Providing clean energy free of voltage spikes and drops, you'll be able to power your sensitive electronics safely and reliably. Plug in TVs, computers, phones and more without worrying about the damage caused by random fluctuations in power. This compact and quiet inverter operates at a fraction of the volume of a normal generator, making it perfect for campgrounds, barbecues, job sites and more. Create up to 1250 surge watts and 1000 running watts of power. The lightweight design makes for easy portability while the ultra-efficient 0.7-gallon tank provides over 5 hours of half-load run time. Our 60cc engine operates at an extremely quiet 51 decibels (at quarter load from 22 feet away), quieter than a window air conditioner or the average conversation. This limits its invasiveness while hunting, camping, tailgating and restoring back-up power. Designed to mirror a pure sine wave, this generator limits total harmonic distortion to under 0.3 percent at no load and under 1.2 percent at full load, making it safe enough to run laptops, cellphones, monitors, tablets and other vulnerable electronics.
This fully-packed panel comes equipped with two three-prong 120V receptacles, two 5V USB ports, parallel connection ports and indicator lights. Maximize fuel economy by engaging the generator's Eco-Mode Throttle. This feature allows the generator's motor to automatically adjust its fuel consumption as items are plugged and unplugged from the panel, preventing the usage of unnecessary gasoline. Need more energy? Easily link up any two WEN inverter generators using a WEN 56421 Parallel Connection Kit (sold separately) in order to share wattage amongst multiple units. Low-oil and low-fuel automatic shutdown with indication lights along with overload protection safeguard both your generator and your electronics from damage. And because this is a WEN Product, your inverter generator comes backed by a 2-year warranty, a nationwide network of skilled service technicians and a friendly customer helpline. Remember when your generator powered your electronics safely and quietly? Remember WEN.
