Description
The WEN 56475 has a 223cc WEN OHV 4-stroke engine that runs on gasoline and can put out 120V. It has a running power of 3,750W and a maximum power of 4,750W. With a noise level of 67 dBA, this generator is quieter than an office. It can be started with a pull-start or an electric starter that is easy to use (battery included). With a full tank, the 56475 can run for about 10 hours at 0.5 load (using about 0.4 GPH of fuel). This is because it can hold 4 gallons of fuel.
Outlets
On the control panel, there are 4 AC outlets for: Duplex 120V 20A (5-20R); 120V 30A (TT-30R) receptacle; 120V 30A (L5-30R) receptacle.
This WEN generator is ready for an RV because it has a TT-30R (TT stands for “Travel Trailer”) receptacle.Features
The 56475’s control panel has a digital data center that helps you keep track of its status and activity by giving you information about how long it has been running.
A built-in fuel gauge makes it easy and quick to check how much gas is in the generator.As far as safety goes, the device has an automatic shut-off for low oil and a circuit breaker for overheating, so you can use it without worrying.The WEN 56475 comes with basic instructions and an owner’s manual to help you start the generator quickly.It also comes with a funnel and oil, among other things.Mobility
The WEN 56475 is L26.6 by W17.1 by H17.3 inches, and it has a typical open frame design that makes it stable and lets the generator be raised off the ground.
This type of design is great for tough environments and heavy outdoor use.The generator is technically “portable” in the sense that you can move it, but at 112.5 pounds, it may be hard to move it by hand.Still, the generator is easy to move once it’s on the ground.This is because it has a wheel kit with 8-inch wheels and a folding handle, which is a good way to make up for its lack of maneuverability.Product Videos
The following charts show how some of the most important features of the WEN-56475 compare to other generators with the same power output.
**Fuel efficiency is give in relative percentage, 0 being the lowest and 1 being the highest value. Please see below specification table for actual value.

- We compared more than 500 portable generators at 50% load. We found that there is “skewed right” distribution for the difference between 50% load and 25% load and the median comes at 1.43. With this number we converter all the 25% load runtime to 50% load. Same with the propane efficiency, where median is 1.38.
- For some generators where propane runtime was not given, we used NIST 1994 GGE (Gasoline Gallon Equivalent) formula: 5.66 lbs. of propane = 1 gal of gasoline. All propane runtime is for 20 lbs. propane tank (4.7 gallons).
- Unlike many other sites, we actually tried to find out information about each of the above requirements. However, we are human and are therefore capable of the odd oversight or mistake. Please let us know if you spot any missing or erroneous values so that we can fix them.
About the Manufacturer
Nick Anton started WEN Products, an American power tool manufacturer and distributor, in 1951.
WEN Products says that its research in random orbital technology contributed to the creation of current chainsaws, soldering tools, and wet sharpeners.The Illinois-based corporation increased the range of power tools that were available through its distribution network, including presses, drills, and of course, power generators.WEN is a distributor, and the majority of the products in its inventory are branded imports from Asian manufacturers.Warranty Information
The WEN 56475 has a warranty that lasts up to 2 years.
This warranty may not cover all parts of the generator or may only cover certain parts.Check out WEN’s warranty policies to learn more about the warranty on their generators.You can also call their customer service line at 1-847-429-9263.
