W55001 Reviews

We have found a few reviews that, although positive, noted that the W55001 is not as quiet as is advertised by the manufacturer. 

There also seem to be a few niggles with the fuel gauge.

Portability

The W5500I comes with a comfortable handle and large wheels that allow you to move the generator with ease. While the portable design helps to save space when on your journeys. The weight of the w5500i is 56kg which is about standard for a generator of this size.

3000w performance

The copper wound motor ensures you get the full 3000w performance. The generator is made with convenience in mind. Add your oil and fuel, turn on the switch then turn the key to it running and powering your equipment while outdoors.

Pure sine wave technology

The generator comes with pure sine wave technology, which means you can run your larger appliances, and power your laptop or similar devices while also charging them simultaneously.

Overload detection system

And thanks to the overload detection system, you don’t need to worry about overloading the generator. It will automatically shut off the power while keeping the engine running in the event of a power overload. 

There is also an oil protection system that cuts out the engine if the oil level gets too low. Allowing you to enjoy your camping trip with peace of mind.

 Fuel consumption

The inverter generator provides unparalleled performance while reducing fuel consumption by as much as 40%, using the w5500i’s intelligent engine management. 

And if you want to reduce fuel consumption even further, switch on the economy mode. The eco feature is good because it makes the engine work slower when it doesn’t need to work at full power.

12 hours continuous run time

Ideal for camping and long trips, the 12 hours continuous run time gives you plenty of time to enjoy your surroundings. The 12V DC output and dual 240V outlets supply the electricity.

At 59db, the generator won’t cause any issues with noise although it is not silent. At this price point, you will struggle to find a silent generator anywhere.

To figure out how many watts an appliance needs, identify how many watts it requires. Then add 20% for resistive loads or add 50% for inductive loads.

Identifying Load Types

Resistive loads do not have any moving parts, while inductive loads do. 

Resistive loads include kettles, light bulbs, and heaters.

Inductive loads have moving parts, such as motors, air compressors, and pressure washers.

Examples

1000W heater – 1200W generator

2000W pressure washer – 3000W generator

500W kettle and a 3000W motor – 5100W generator
