Remember when you could run your generator off either gas or propane? Whether we're providing your home electricity during a crisis or charging your family's cellphones at the campgrounds, WEN has been reliably lighting up lives since 1951. Now, with the WEN 4750-Watt Dual Fuel Electric Start Generator, you’ll be able to create power from two different sources. Simply select your preferred method, either gasoline or LPG, and power on the generator using the electric start. Propane provides the generator with 4350 surge and 3500 running watts while gasoline creates up to 4750 surge and 3800 running watts. Our packed panel features two 120V GFCI outlets (5-20R), a NEMA 30A twist lock (L14-30R), a 12V DC cigarette-lighter-style plug, and a voltage selector to switch between 120V and 240V depending on the task at hand. Run your lights, TV, refrigerator, sump pump, power tools, or other essentials with ease. The wheel and handle kit makes transportation easier than ever while the included 47-inch LPG hose allows for immediate connection to propane tanks. With its 240 volts of power and 224cc engine, this generator is the perfect companion for emergency back-up. Simply plug your transfer switch into the NEMA 30A twist lock for electricity in times of need. Fill the gas tank with up to 4 gallons of gasoline for an 11-hour half-load runtime. It’s durable enough for the job site and compact enough for easy storage. And because its a WEN product, your generator comes backed by a nationwide network of skilled service technicians, a friendly customer support phone line, and a two year. Remember when you didn’t have to worry about the power going out? Remember WEN.

Received the Wen Generator today from Amazon. Was able to track delivery online and it got here on time and in good shape. Unpacked and all parts present. Included were a couple of wrenches that came in handy during assembly. Was pleased the battery connection has been updated to where you connect the red wire with a built in, plug together, connector. Directions were straight forward. Only difficult part was removing the two red shipping brackets. Had to use a ratchet to get the leverage necessary to break the bolts loose. Filled the oil, connected to propane and it started right up using the electrical start. Quieter than expected, although have not run it under load as of yet. Great value for a dual fuel, electrical start, generator.

Snow storm coming here in the south! I can probably bet there will be power outages (even though we lucked out with last September's hurricane). Best to get a generator!I looked at used units for a while, but couldn't find anything worth the people's asking price. I started looking at new, and settled on this WEN for two reasons-- 1) Sold by Amazon and it has LOTS of good reviews, only took a day to get it, and the freight was free, 2) it's a dual fuel unit. I wanted to run it off the house LP instead of having to keep a gasoline can full and fresh. Plus, running it off the house means we're unlikely to ever run out of fuel!The power it produces will supply our home for everything but heat and AC. We have LP heaters, so that's not a problem, and the generator makes enough power to run a portable AC, if needed. We are connecting the unit to our home panel to make things far easier in an emergency.This guy started RIGHT up first try, ran great! After running for about 5 minutes, I hooked up two hairdryers (3000 watts max) to check it out, and it handled them without a fuss. Note the green funnel thing I had to use to add the engine oil. This too is available from Amazon and was a life-saver, as not one of my other funnels could reach properly to do the job!The generator is pretty quiet and smooth. It is a very nice unit, and I'm GLAD I didn't pay $300.00 for someone else's used problem!

In our small town, we usually have several power outages during the year, particularly in the winter months after an ice storm and during the spring after severe thunderstorms. Sometimes these outages last from one to four days.I had an electrician install an interlock box with a L14 30R plug. During a power outage, I plug the WEN 475T generator into the L14 30R plug, start the generator and we have plenty of power in our entire house to run two refrigerators, a microwave, TV, computers, and every light in the house including the central heating system during the winter.During a power outage, we only have to refrain from using any appliance that requires 220W, i.e, central air conditioner, the clothes dryer, and kitchen stove and oven. Other than that, it's life as normal when the power is out; and, the WEN 475T is able to generate plenty of power.I purchased two 40lb propane bottles to power the generator. Having the option of running the 475T on propane is a huge PLUS! First, I don't have to worry about having to rely on gasoline going bad (propane will last forever); and second, even on the coldest days the 475T starts immediately. The electric start is a huge benefit! From our experience, a 40lb bottle of propane will run the 475T for almost 27-hours.Overall, we are most satisfied with the performance of this product. One suggestion; however, we opted to use the recommended 5W 30 synthetic oil in this unit to allow operation in the freezing cold to 100 degree days. Also, the WEN 475 is an extremely dependable generator that has not failed to satisfy our needs. During a power outage while our neighbors are sitting in the dark, we are able to power our entire home.

Purchased June 2024, dead battery, charging will hold for only a day or two, other than that I think it's a good generator.

Generator runs fine, but all the hardware is missing. Also missing are the axles, support feet and bracket to attach the handle. Some what disappointing.

I spent a lot of time researching generators. I needed to replace my old one which did not have electric starting or dual fuel capabilities. The Wen 4750 had the right specifications.It came delivered the next day and was easy to unbox and assemble in less than an hour. Being dual fuel, I wanted to use it on propane for clean, mess free operation. After reviewing the instruction book, I hooked it up to a propane tank. I flipped the fuel type selector switch to Propane, set the choke and with two clicks of the starter switch, it fired right up. Plugged in a couple of fans to test it and then plugged it into my house transfer switch and everything worked nicely. This model was on sale for $475 delivered. The frosting on the cake, was my electric company Edison had a $200 rebate on it. (Do to living in a fire area, the electric company sometimes shuts down in high winds).The only reason I give this 4 stars instead of 5 is the generator is a bit noisier than I expected but inside the house at a distance of 20 feet you can't hear it.
