Quietest Portable Generator Reviews

Although the ideal survival situation wouldn’t involve any reliance on electric and electronic appliances and devices, things like cell phones, heaters, radios, lights, and hot plates would make things a lot more comforting in an emergency scenario. Ideally, a portable generator that can be easily moved and repostioned.

The downside is, generators are usually loud. If you’re trying to lay low, or avoid attention, you’d want the quietest portable generator available.

3. WEN 56200i 4-Stroke Gas-Powered 2000-Watt Portable Generator

The WEN 56200i portable generator is the first 2000 watt unit on our quietest portable generator list. This enables it to power more devices while running.

The 79.7 cc 4-stroke OHV engine runs at a very quiet 51 decibels, the quietest portable generator on our list so far. That is quieter than an average window air conditioner or an average conversation between two people.

Although it is heavier than our previous entries, weighing at 48 pounds, it provides 2000 surge watts and 1600 constant rated watts of power. Also, with the generator’s electronic speed control throttle, the motor automatically adjusts the fuel consumption as items are plugged in and out of the panel.

The one gallon tank provides over 4 hours of run time at half-load.
