NOISE: Neither quiet nor noisy from a distance of 23 feet, though still may be noticeable when run overnight. EASE OF USE: Very easy to start and (for portables) transport, with many helpful features such as fuel shutoff, fuel gauge, and low-oil shutoff.

    About

    The Firman WT05571 is part of the Generators test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Inverter Generators models like the WT05571 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

    Power delivery: How much wattage models delivered and how well they handled surges in power demand over various loads.

    Power quality: A generator's ability to deliver power smoothly, with consistent voltage.

    Noise: Measured at 23 and 50 feet from the generator. We recommend hearing protection for standing close by the unit while it's running.
