I bought this to power my saws and other tools while finishing the interior of a large shed. It has worked well, it is very portable and has started reliably each time I've used it. I recommend using no ethanol gasoline if you can. The fuel shut off feature is nice.

Works perfect. I have two large refrigerators, two computers two 65’ TVs and all my cell phone adapter’s plugged into this thing and it ran like a charm started up immediately. EZ to understand instructions and maintenance, It’s also fairly quiet. I’m going to buy a second one. For the money this is excellent quality. I would highly recommend it above the others that are priced $200 more.

The WEN 3600-Watt Portable Inverter Generator (56360i) is a fantastic investment for anyone in need of reliable, portable power. Whether you’re out camping, tailgating, or need backup power at home, this generator does the job flawlessly.One of the standout features is how quiet it runs—I am talking it is super quiet. A lot better than standard generators, making it perfect for RVs and outdoor use without disturbing your surroundings. Despite its lightweight (not even 50lbs!) and compact design, it’s incredibly powerful, providing 3600 watts of clean, stable power, ideal for sensitive electronics and appliances. The RV-ready outlet is a huge plus, making it super convenient to plug directly into your RV without needing any adapters.The fuel shutoff feature is a great touch, ensuring the engine uses up the remaining fuel in the carburetor before shutting down, which helps prolong the life of the generator. I also appreciate the easy-to-use controls and the clear digital display that shows important metrics like fuel level, runtime, and power output.Overall, the WEN 56360i is a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly generator that offers excellent value for the price. It’s a must-have for anyone looking for a high-quality inverter generator that combines power, portability, and peace of mind.

I ordered mine, and it came the day before the hurricane hit Houston. Luckily, the power only went out for a few hours, but during that time, I set it up quickly and immediately began using it. It starts quickly and easily and is fairly quiet. I had it running on eco mode and had two 5000 BTU AC window units running on low, my internet modem, and had cell phones and laptops plugged in. All of that ran without a problem.The generator comes with various tools, an oil funnel, and a small bottle of oil. If you buy one, I recommend buying a grounding rod and wire and several more bottles of oil. You're supposed to change the oil after the first 8 hours of use and then change it again after the next 24 hours. Here's a tip, change the oil often. It will increase the life of your generator. I didn't use it long enough to really test how fuel efficient it is, but I think it will run about 5 hours straight on eco mode.

I got this right before Hurricane Beryl. I started using this generator Monday afternoon as soon as the eye pasted Brazoria. As of this writing I am on day 3. This little unit is powering the following at the same time. Swamp fan, small window AC, Freezer, refrigerator, TV, Laptop and 4 smart phones and a LED lightbar at 50% load. This little beast allowed me to work remote while the grid is down. I am extremely happy that it kept my family of 5 comfortable during these difficult times. I bought this with the intention of bugging out if there's a mandatory evacuation order, it's small and weight less than 50lbs. With the 1.5 gallon tank I was able to get a good solid 5 hrs of run time with ECO MODE before the red light fuel lit up. I highly suggest this unit I can't be any happier at the moment. It's not that loud at all, I left it outside and my window kinda muffled it. I think the quality is excellent, performance is excellent as well it's ease of use.

Bought to run my 28'ft TT. I have never used a generator before. I am a female 5'6" with a bad back. I had this out of the box and set up within just a few minutes. It started with one pull. Spent several hours working the break in process - changing load etc...My air conditioner started and ran with no problem. Even with my counter top ice machine, internet (starlink) oscillating fan and air running all at the same time the load never exceeded 50%. I made a phone call and stood within 6 ft of the generator while talking and the other person never heard it at all. It is very quiet! I equate it to a loud hum really. I ran it for 3 1/2 hours switching up the load periodically from 50% to 25% and back again - on less than a gallon of gas. I can pick it up (with both hands) and walk with it relatively easily. Super stoked about this purchase!

I will agree with everything most people are saying about this generator. It appears to be a good quality, built well. It has some really nice features like the fuel shut off so you can get all the gas out of the line for storage so it doesn’t come up your carburetor. it will start a rooftop AC on my travel trailer , But needs to be out of Eco mode. I bought this is a back up to my Honda EU 2000 . Honda is double the price. But I will say that the Honda is much quieter. The Wen generator is not loud by any means. The Honda is just that much quieter. Doing a little digging it looks like when is using a copy of a Yamaha engine, so hopefully it lasts a long time. But I do recommend this for a seemingly reliable generator. It doesn’t make excessive noise, but it’s not exactly Honda quiet.
