Description

Remember when you had clean and quiet portable power? The WEN 2500-Watt Inverter Generator provides clean energy, free of voltage spikes and drops, without all the noise of a regular generator. Produce up to 2500 surge watts and 1900 rated watts of power. Our 80cc engine operates at a quiet 65 decibels at quarter load. This limits its invasiveness while camping, hunting, tailgating, and restoring backup power. The WEN 2500W Inverter Generator is also equipped with fuel shutoff. This feature turns off the flow of fuel, allowing for the generator to use up the remaining fuel from the carburetor before automatically shutting down. This helps fight the build-up and blockages caused by stagnant fuel inside of the carburetor, minimizing maintenance while prolonging the unit’s lifespan. Designed to mirror a pure sine wave, this generator limits total harmonic distortion to under 0.3 percent at no load and under 1.2 percent at full load, making it safe to run laptops, cellphones, monitors, tablets and other sensitive electronics. The lightweight 37.5-pound design makes for easy portability while the ultra- efficient 1-gallon tank provides up to 4.4 hours of half-load run time. The fully-packed panel comes equipped with two three-prong 120V NEMA 5-20R receptacles, two 5V USB ports, and an hour meter for monitoring routine maintenance. Maximize fuel economy by turning on eco-mode. This allows the generator's engine to automatically adjust its fuel consumption as items are plugged into and unplugged from the panel, preventing the unnecessary usage of fuel. Need more energy? Easily link up any two WEN inverter generators using a WEN 120V Parallel Connection Kit (sold separately) in order to share wattage amongst multiple units. Low-oil and low-fuel automatic shutdown combine with the built-in overload protection and indicator lights to safeguard both your generator and your electronics from damage. Compatible with the WEN GNC235 Generator Cover and the WEN 55201 Magnetic Dipstick. And because this is a WEN Product, your inverter generator comes backed by a 3-year limited warranty, a nationwide network of skilled service technicians and a friendly customer helpline. Remember when your generator powered your electronics safely and quietly? Remember WEN.

    • Dependable, Easy to Use
Size: 2350W
I purchased a new camper that has a microwave oven. Unfortunately, my little Yamaha was too small to work the oven so I needed at least 2200 Watts. After considerable research, I decided to go with the WEN. I really didn't want to spend a ton of money for a higher wattage Yamaha. I've had ZERO issues with this generator. Its actually not much heavier than the 1100 Yamaha I had. It's just as quiet and it starts on the first pull! If you don't need full power it has an "echo" setting and it will run for a very long time. I recently did a winter camping trip and the temp fell as low as 16 deg F or more, the generator sat outside sheltered by the camper. The next morning I went to start it, first pull, bingo! She started right up! I just don't see how you can go wrong to use this as an RV generator and in addition to the microwave, I also ran an electric heater too without any issues. If you want to keep the gen looking good, don't toss the box and air bubble liner, use it to store and transport the gen. Cut small openings near the top of the box on the ends to insert your hands to carry it. Overall, I am very satisfied to have purchased this generator at a bargain deal! Also, another thing that sold me was talking to friends who owned other WEN tools/equipment and were very satisfied with the quality. ... show more

    • Efficient and Reliable WEN Generator for RV Camping
Size: 2350W
I recently upgraded to a camper with a microwave oven, requiring a more powerful generator than my trusty Yamaha. After thorough research, I opted for the WEN generator and I couldn't be happier with my choice. Surprisingly, this generator is not much heavier than my previous one, yet it delivers a solid 2200 Watts effortlessly. The quiet operation and first-pull start make it a dream to use, even in chilly weather as low as 16°F. During a recent winter camping trip, the WEN generator performed flawlessly, powering both the microwave and an electric heater without a hitch. The option for an "echo" setting ensures long-lasting use when full power isn't necessary. I also appreciate the thoughtful tip about using the generator's box for storage and transportation. Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with the WEN generator's performance and durability, especially after hearing glowing reviews from friends who own other WEN products. It's a reliable companion for any RV adventure, offering great value for the price. ... show more

Engine Manufacturer: Chongqing Rato Technology Co., Ltd Engine Family: GCRPS.0805GA EPA Evap Family: GCRPPHHEQDDD Rebadged by NAPA Auto (BE2000), Harbor Freight (Predator 2000) and Mi-T-M (GEN-2000-ODMO). I’m fairly certain the Powerhorse 2000 is the same as well but the case does look slightly different. Unsure on that one but the other three are obvious re-badges. There might be more out there, who knows. Some notes from the engine manufacturer below. I suspect they make the generator windings, inverter and board as well but not 100% sure. "RATO was founded in June, 2007 with total investment of 3.6 billion RMB, and covers an area of 460,000m2. With the philosophy of lean-manufacturing, professional general-purposed engine and All-Terrain vehicle assembly factory, key parts pressing-welding and coating factory, plastic injection and molding factory, and machining factory were built which produce 300 million units of engines and terminals, 300,000 units of motorcycles and ATVs, as well as 1,200,000 vehicle engines annually." Elusive Specs?? Mi-T-M indicate that the alternator is made of brass windings. It is possible each of these rebadged versions are made to different spec but I highly doubt it. So, I suppose the alternator windings on the WEN are brass? Mi-T-M also claim THD of 3% but WEN claim “total harmonic distortion to under 0.3 percent at no load and under 1.2 percent at full load”. Perhaps an electrical engineer or similarly qualified person could chime in on the difference? Perhaps one of the manufactures are confused on their description? Operation The sound on this gen is reasonable. No rattles or other annoying sounds. Photos attached on sound level from a phone app. The sound levels may or may not be accurate as it is a simple sound meter app but it gives you an idea. The sound level was recorded from 8ft away and 5ft high with the gen sitting on the ground. Pics attached: Eco Idle muffler pointing away, Eco Idle muffler facing and running 1540w/1250w load with muffler facing. The Yamaha Sidewinder parallel cable would not fit the parallel ports on this generator. The cable bungs were slightly too large of diameter. I think others have stated the Honda cable works but I’ve never tried one. I'm not a huge fan of the bulky, cable-box style parallel kits for pairing up inverter generators. I ended up settling on the Westinghouse cable as I didn’t want to Frankenstein a cable together. Also, I like that the Westinghouse cable has the TT30 plug, two standard 20 amp plugs and could be extended with cords if desired (10ga would be safe). Westinghouse Cable: Westinghouse WHPC Inverter Generator Parallel Cord - Compatible with Westinghoues WH2000i, WH2000iXLT, and WH2400i Inverter Generators Yamaha Claims of Comparison I am unable to find any definitive proof that this motor is a “Yamaha clone” as is perpetuated in a lot of the reviews. There are some differences to note: the spark plug on this motor is the “Honda” plug. Yes, the drain/fill plug has the same thread as the Yamaha but the Yamaha holds an extra 47mL of oil in the crank case. I am unable to find bore/stroke info on the WEN/RATO motor but Yamaha indicate their displacement at 79cc in the manual but 80cc in the EPA test. WEN/RATO describe their motor as 79.7cc which aligns with the EPA test data. Does anyone have some real proof these motors “are made in the same factory assembly line” as the Yamaha? It’s not that big a deal if it isn’t a “Yamaha clone” so long as the motor is reliable. Personally, I think it is a bit disingenuous to attach Yamaha’s name to the motor if it truly isn’t a “clone”. Same steel, crank, bearings, valves, piston, rings, etc. as the Yamaha? I’m dubious. I’d love to be proved wrong. EPA comparison data attached. This gen seems to be very close or better than the Yamaha in all sections. I am unsure why the Yamaha is listed as "Alternative Useful Life". These EPA tests intrigue me but I wonder how much correlation should/could be attached to longevity or reliability from the results? Maybe someone else who knows more could chime in but it seems the RATO motor is a very capable motor based on the EPA tests. Alternator/Inverter No idea on the comparison to Yamaha. I was unable to find any real data on how they are built. I am unable to find Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) data in the Yamaha manual. As mentioned earlier the winding on the WEN are most likely brass. The "guts" of the inverter inside the generator are not shielded or encased in any way. Maybe that's good? Unsure. Perhaps someone could test the Yamaha and WEN to compare? I wonder if the THD figures are different on the Ver2 of the Yamaha? Unsure. Conclusion The generator appears to work great. I hit the gen with a 1540w/1250w load from eco and the gen throttled up just fine to support the load. I haven’t done any “time trials” but it ran that load for about 10 min before I switched off the heater. I’ll try to find something I can test right at 2000w/1600w at some point in the future but this heater is the closest I could get to the gen’s power rating. Sound is very reasonable and appears in-line with manufacturer statements. There were no rattles or errant sounds from the gen, just engine/muffler hum. Overall, first impressions are good with this gen. I have my fingers crossed with longevity but others seem to be having good luck with them. I hope that is the case for me. Compared to the more expensive Honda and Yamaha units, the hope is that I get at least 5 years of use out of this. I anticipate ~50hrs of use per season. On that calculation, I would average ~$84/year on this gen (not accounting for fuel). The Yamaha would be ~$186/yr and the Honda would be ~$200/yr. I have heard of people getting 10+ years on their Honda units. I don’t think the Yamaha has been around quite as long but the quality is certainly there on Yamaha. If this gen were to go 10 years it would be an absolute diamond in the rough. Regardless, this is a gen worth considering. Buy with confidence. 6/14/17 - Update Both of my units developed fuel leaks. At first, I thought the fuel leak was my fault because I overfilled or something but the other one had leaked ~1/4 of its filled tank when I checked the unit in the morning. I was very disappointed that I had an issue with leaking fuel on two different units. It is still strange they both developed the leaks within such short time from each other. Weird. Sometimes you gamble and lose. Hats off to Amazon for accommodating the returns. Amazon absolutely rocks. I bit the bullet and went with a Yamaha setup. YMMV. ... show more
