Description

Remember when you had clean and quiet portable power? The WEN 4800-Watt Inverter Generator provides clean energy, free of voltage spikes and drops, without all the noise of a regular generator. Produce up to 4800 surge watts and 4000 rated watts of power. The keyless electric start lets you turn on your generator at the press of a button, and includes a recoil starter as backup. 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. Our 224cc engine operates at a modest 62 decibels at quarter load. This limits its invasiveness while camping, hunting, tailgating, and restoring backup power. The WEN 4800W 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 built-in wheels and telescoping handle make for easy portability while the ultra-efficient 1.9-gallon tank provides up to 7 hours of half-load run time. The fully-packed panel comes equipped with four three-prong 120V NEMA 5-20R receptacles, one 12V DC receptacle, one 120V TT-30R RV receptacle, and two 5V USB ports. Maximize fuel economy by engaging the eco-mode switch. 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 gasoline. Need more energy? Easily link up any two WEN inverter generators using a WEN 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. 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.

The media could not be loaded. I have THOROUGHLY tested this generator. I have a property that has no conventional electricity so a generator is my only option. In my video you can see that I maxed out the time meter at 6,000 hours (yes, thousand). I ran this thing constantly for 19 months. Hot summers (A/C units, water pump) and snowy winter (Heating elements, water heater, space heater) for 12+ hours a day. This thing was a champ. My life quite literally depended on this thing and it provided. Mine looks like a monstrosity now because I took the cute plastic casing off (it’s a nightmare to service everything regularly with all those layers of plastic panels) so I mounted the thing to an open metal frame. This thing was remarkably quiet in its original form factor—very good and impressive silent power. With the case off it’s probably 15dB louder. The engine head is leaking now after ~6500+ hours and it might just need a gasket, but also the electronic throttle control seems to be failing and probably not worth the time diagnosing and replacing. So I’m writing this eulogy for such a remarkable product that I’m grateful for. This is my second Wen generator. The first one I equally abused and got extreme use out of. This one had about 1000 more watt capability which made a world of a difference. I’ve had to take apart the carb and clean the jet probably about once a month because the throttle would start “hunting”. But because of my use case, so much fuel being used, it was inevitable that there would be fuel with debris in it and reach the carb. Oil change once a week because of how often I used it. I changed the spark plug once in its whole lifetime. I had to change the crankcase gasket once not because it blew but because it ripped when I opened up the crankcase for cleaning. Finding the replacement parts for this 224cc model (or Wen for that matter) is not great. For instance the gasket took a few tries to get the right one through Amazon. Even finding a new carburetor is difficult. Finding replacement parts is the only negative I’ll hold against this product. I drilled a hole in the gas cap and ran a fuel line from an external pump+jerry can hooked up to a timer that would pulse fuel into the generator’s tank every 30 seconds. This is what let me run the the generator continuously for over 12 hours. Eventually I would ditch the generator’s gas tank all together and hook the fuel line directly to the carburetor and pulse fuel every 5 seconds into it. Worked very good. There is an oil line that is hidden behind the air filter housing that comes out of the engine block. I believe it is the one called “carbon tank tube” in the manual used for emissions or something. Well that thing would leak oil heavily and I could not figure out where it was coming from, so when I found out I clamped it from falling off and plugged it closed and the thing ran perfect with no leaks since then. Sorry if I made it less emissions-friendly in the process. Thank you to the engineers, manufacturers, and assemblers of this generator. You have no idea what your product has been through in my hands and the memory of this generator will always live on as a true champion that got me through winter storms and summer heat advisories. Thank you and Jesus bless this reader. That’s my review. Below I will share my engine break-in process that was shared with me and has served me well. Buy the Wen magnetic dipstick before you start your generator! Do not buy a cheaper one—the magnet will fall off and damage the engine’s internals, trust me. 0W-30 Mobil1 Full Synthetic and 5W-30 Full Synthetic. Lucas Oil Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer. Before putting gas in the generator, add approx. 8-10oz. Lucas Oil into the oil reservoir then fill the rest of the reservoir with 0W-30. Install magnetic dipstick. Pull the spark plug boot off the spark plug. Unscrew the spark plug. Pour 1oz. of Lucas Oil into the spark plug hole. Screw spark plug back on. Gently pull the recoil starter cord several times to spread the oil/stabilizer internally. Put the spark plug boot back on the spark plug. Add gas. Start generator. It may be difficult to start at first. It may blow white smoke at the beginning, that’s okay. Let it run at idle for 20-30min. Shut it down. Drain the oil. Check/clean dipstick. Add another 8-10oz. of Lucas Oil and fill with 0W-30. Get a heat gun or space heater or similar. Run the generator for another 30-45min. with the appliance on. Goal is to have the generator at ~50% load but not higher than 75%. Shut down, drain oil, clean dipstick. Now fill with just 5W-30. Run your generator for your normal first use then change the oil once more with 5W-30 right after first use. ... show more

    • Great generator!
Style: Electric Start
Review Image by RM Whitley
I don’t live a lot of reviews, but this one deserves mention and I bought it on sale on Amazon a while back and it was a lot less money, but don’t hesitate to pull the trigger. It’s a great little generator, very compact, very quiet and starts right up and runs like a champ the electric start is a little tough to get used to it first I thought I had a dead battery but you have to hold the start button down for a couple seconds then let up wait a second and it’ll start by itself same with shutting it off. Can’t say enough great about this little generator. I use it every day for a business and it just keeps on going I’m gonna buy more. One problem I did have of my own is mounting this in the bed of a truck will not work unless you raise the generator up to get it into fresh air. The Co sensor wants to turn it off because the exhaust gas won’t clear out of the bed, but it’s an easy fix either put the generator on the tailgate or I built a stand for mine to set it up above the edge of the bed. It’s a service truck that works like a champ ... show more

    • Quiet and economical to Use
Style: Electric Start
This is the best generator I've ever used. We have a food trailer and I've used many other brands! It's quiet, powerful and doesn't use tons of gas.

    • Works great
Style: Electric Start
I have this running as I type this and first off let me say it works great! I have it plugged into my sailboat charging my house batteries and it's running at 50% load putting out just over 1400 watts. The one thing about the generator is if the wind is blowing from the back of the gen light enough and long enough it will shut off because it detect CO2. It's happen twice now which isn't a big deal but kind of a pain to have to restart it. Other than that this is a win. ... show more

    • Nice generator... great customer service
Style: Electric Start
I dont write many reviews... but here goes. I read all the reviews on this product, but i was nervous ordering on amazon without a "bricks and mortar" nearby if we had issues. I ordered a Wen touter previously and was really impressed with the durability and price, so... needing a generator for camping mostly i went with this. The price point for 4800w with electric start was great... free delivery? Very good....unfortunately our first generator would not electric start.... i thought... oh boy, heres what i feared! But.... calling Wen customer service was amazing! You get a great person that you can understand! They shipped me a new battery and a new control module. Unfortunately that still didnt fix it, so we had to send it back. Yes draining the oil and gas seemed like it would be a lot of work to send back, but if you think it through, it wasnt that bad. Sent the unit back... they got it on monday, and i had a NEW generator on friday! Just in time to go camping! ***note to all new owners! Press electric start button in until it blinks. Let off button, then do one full press in/let go.... THEN it hesitates for split second then starts! So.... not quite what the directions say! Overall pretty happy ... show more

    • looks good, runs good and well engineered. This is the best and quitest one I have ever owned!!
Style: Electric Start
This is THE DREAM MACHINE !!! The engineering an thoughtfulness that went into this generator is beyond belief !!! The gauges to tell you the amount of power it is using in percentage, the fuel tank quantity of fuel remaining, the voltage output. The start button and the obvious pre-checking before starting is obvious in the slight delay after you push button and before it starts. Also the engineering that went in to the oil fill over flow which is directed down a spill spout into a catch area which has a rubber stopper to ensure you have a rag or paper towel under it before you pull the rubber plug out to drain the overflow!! And the list goes on. You need to experience this !! And so quite I could carry on a normal conversation with my wife standing beside it !! I was running "eco mode" and with all of my 120v devices running in the house , I wasn't even up to 50% !! I had 9 fans running , two freezer / refrigerator combos , one very large freezer, an all the lights turned on in every room. I also had three backup battery boxes, two computers and our TV running !! and it was putting out 123v!! If you a generator , check out this one first!!! ... show more
