    • Great Little generator
Style: 5600W, Dual Fuel, Electric Start
Assembly was a snap, starts right up on gas or lp, I prefer lp as I am a little isolated. Did the break in like the manual said, had it two weeks and lost power for two days, ran great , kept the furnace fan going and tv Xbox and lights, quiet quieter than my vacuum, yes I tested it, can't give accurate decibel but very quiet for a generator, I definitely would recommend. ... show more

    • Affordable and Reliable Power!!!
Style: 4000W, Inverter
The media could not be loaded. I purchased this generator specifically for emergency situations and it's exceeded my expectations. My goal was to find something affordable yet powerful enough to run two electric heaters in the winter or a portable A/C unit in the summer—and still have juice left for essentials like a lamp, phone chargers, and our modem/router. This unit handles all of that with ease. It may not have the extra bells and whistles found in higher-end inverter models, but I didn’t need those. What I wanted was reliability and simplicity, and this generator delivers. It starts with one pull and hums along at a reasonable volume (around 50 decibels from 25 feet away), which is perfectly in line with similar units. One standout feature is the eco mode, which adjusts the engine speed based on the power demand—saving fuel and reducing noise when the load is light. I also really appreciate the open-frame design—it makes it super easy to drain the carburetor after use, a huge convenience. Unlike some models, this generator doesn't have a carbon monoxide shutdown sensor. Personally, I prefer it that way. I’m very aware of the safety rules when operating a generator and never run it indoors or in confined spaces. Without the auto-shutdown, I don’t have to worry about wind triggering unnecessary shut-offs. It is a bit heavier than I anticipated, so I picked up a folding hand truck and now it's fully mobile—problem solved. It comes with a standard two-year manufacturer warranty, and I opted for the extended protection plan, giving me four years of peace of mind. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with this purchase. It gives me confidence that we'll have power in any situation. ... show more

    • One of the best values for a generator out there
Style: 5600W, Electric Start
This has to be the best value for a workhorse generator! And I mean workhorse! It spent all last summer being my power source, like it ran 24/7 for over 8 months straight, only getting breaks to change the oil, add oil, refill with gas, and clean the air filter. There are several models of this generator, some of them include the CO sensor, some are dual fuel capable, some have electric start and some are pull start only. This one is electric start with the CO sensor and only runs on gasoline. When I got it I was surprised to learn just how small this generator is compared to others with the same rough output. Set up was super easy and required only a few tools (which they included) to set it up, it comes with EXACTLY how much oil you need to break it in, the electric start works flawlessly, but for the first run I wanted to know how easy this would pull start and it started on the first pull! Just follow the instruction manual to a tee for maintenance and you will get a heck of a value for one killer generator! When the expected happened and I killed the motor burning it up in the Arizona heat at around the 6000 running hours mark, I called wen customer service to ask to purchase another motor since everything else about the generator worked just fine, and they did the unexpected! They pressured me into them sending me a whole new unit free of charge! They said it should last at least through the warranty period, and since it didn't they were sending me a new unit! AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM WEN!!! Night and day customer service from Generac to WEN! This instills utter confidence in my purchase of a generator or really anything from this company. Also worthy of note, when changing the oil it requires EXACTLY 16.9 FL OZ of oil in the crankcase, so I was able to re-use some of my empty disposable drinking water bottles (after letting them dry of course) to measure out exactly how much oil it needed every oil change. Also the owners manual says to change the oil every 50 hours of runtime, but WEN customer service said to change it every 24 running hours, so I have been following those recommendations with the replacement unit and it seems to be lasting a lot longer than the first one, I'm also not using it as much anymore since I got my solar system active (3-4 hours 5ish days a week to top up the solar system batteries before I go to bed.) ... show more
