Product Description
Remember when you kept the lights on? 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. With 5600 starting watts and 4500 running watts, the WEN RV and Transfer-Switch-Ready Electric Start Portable Generator is durable enough for the jobsite and compact enough for easy transport. Run your lights, TV, refrigerator, sump pump, heating, air conditioning, microwaves, power tools, and other essentials with ease. Electric start provides quick ignition with a backup recoil starter if needed. The fully packed panel comes equipped with one RV-ready 30-amp TT-30R outlet, one transfer-switch-ready 30-amp 120V L5-30R outlet, and two standard 120V 20-amp 5-20R outlets. The WEN Watchdog CO Shutdown Sensor helps protect both you and your family by automatically turning off the generator if dangerous levels of carbon monoxide are detected. The wheel and handle kit makes transportation easier than ever while the 4.3-gallon gas tank provides up to 12.5 hours of half-load run time. The onboard data meter digitally displays voltage, frequency, total runtime, and session runtime. And because it’s a WEN product, your generator comes backed by a nationwide network of skilled service technicians, a friendly customer support phone line, and a three-year limited warranty.

We use this gen on our construction sites. Very dependable. Powerful. Love the electric start. Will replace it with same if needed.

Arrived over a day early (thank you so much) and my 23 yo daughter and myself (51 yo woman) just turned one of the window ac units to fan FROM ac. Got chilly...only about 4 hours after delivery, set up and a run to buy gas and go to Home Depot where all of the multi outlet cords were gone :/In Houston without power since Monday. MONDAY.I should've bought one sooner but was intimidated.Shouldn't have been.Seems very loud but it's my first one. May check out adding a propane one in case gas is hard to come by again...like earlier this week.Will come back if I have to whine or ask any questions okay?Previous commenters helped me go with this one.After a very hot 5.5 days, this costing around $400 feels like a steal.Currently running 2 window ac units and a power strip with 2 monitors, a gaming pc, and we're charging our devices off of it.Plan on adding a dorm size fridge when a capable cord comes in. Fingers crossed.We'll be ready with confident generator usage this hurricane season. AS LONG AS I CAN GET GAS!Picture is something the manual didn't mention in the starting instructions. A neighbor I asked to crank it up told me.This lever needs to be in this position to start. GOT IT? Good, very good.Edit: one tank lasted 14 hours running both window units and the power strip (plus internet).Checked the oil, all good. It was an easy gas refill, the auto start didn't work but pulled the handle once and it fired right up (like when the neighbor did it).So pleased, life isn't miserable now!

I purchased this originally for hurricane season. It got here on May 9th. May 10th had two tornadoes strike the house. This generator saved my life for the entire 5 days that I was buried underneath all the trees and debris. Very easy to use excellent quality manufacturing wise. Tough sturdy little generator not that loud, excellent value for the money. Highly recommend if you value your life. Ran the refrigerator, freezer, TV, power banks and two fans no problem. Carries a good load on very little gas. Not that heavy.

Unit came in a box, 110 lbs., and the drivers just unloaded it on the front porch even though i left instructions not to do so, take it to garage. Assembly not too bad, read instructions first. Started, unit died in 5-8 seconds, again same thing with CO light blinking (no way, open area). Again and this time CO light was yellow-service issue. Called Wen, told story, they said bad CO module and sent me a new one--but no instructions on how to install. I'm a former tech, no problem for me to figure out how to do it but others would have a lot of trouble. Ran fine afterward. Love wheels, electric start, ease of gas/oil fill. Average noise, yuk. Still, a good deal for the bucks.

The electric start works every time. The gas tank has a gas level indicator, so no guessing when it needs gas. An hour clock keeps track of hours used, as well as frequency and current. Also nice. Location of oil plug is easily reachable and pan can fit directly under it to collect old oil. It is about 100 lbs in weight. But very maneuverable with the retractable leverage arms. It is very economical in gas consumption. It has drainage features for gas when put into long term storage. Thoughtful design. The only draw back is that the voltage frequency is not as stable as inverter generators. So it isn't a good choice for powering electronics. My dust collector 2 HP motor had difficulty starting up on this generator, even though it only consumed about 15A. Could be increased start up current. Don't have the equipment to check this theory. In short well designed, well built, and easy to use. Noise level is not as bad as my pressure washer.

It was soon heavy. You will need help moving and setting wheels up. One of the tunes that hold the feet was dented, but we managed to beat the leg on. Instructions could be clearer. Was glad to have it for after the hurricane. Im making payments thru Amazon, so no interest and affordable. Its a must have in Florida.

It frequently struggles to start and often shuts down unexpectedly during use. The fuel efficiency is poor, leading to constant refueling. Additionally, it's louder than expected, making it unsuitable for quiet environments.
