This is the newest version. In the now expired deal thread from last week for the previous version, the 56225i, the differences start to be discussed starting around posts 40-45: https://slickdeals.net/f/13955615-wen-products-wen-56225i-super-quiet-2250-watt-portable-inverter-generator-with-fuel-shut-off-399-99-fs

Some I remember: new engine/supplier (so reliability is unproven), side gas tank vs top front, no fuel gauge, 10lbs lighter somehow..

I wish they had built in parallel like those super cheap A-iPower brand do.
I don't want to spend $419 and then another $60 for the kit.

you can find generic ones on amazon/ebay for as low as $30

not as nice looking and it's just the parallel wires connected to a molded L5-30 plug and not a large plastic box thing etc

or you could make you own for ~ $10 in materials
