So far so good. Just got it. It took about 1/2 hour from receiving the box to running on propane. Assembly was easy with included tools, added my own oil, the funnel is included. Started right up. breaking in now with about 10000 watt load. For a consumer grade generator it is well made. Keep in mind this is not an inverter so it is heavy and about as loud as a lawnmower. will be useing for power tools and a 160 amp smaw welder on friends property. Will come back and edit if any issues.

The whole experience was amazing. This is a 6500 W 240 V 120 V. With a surge of 8000 watts. It runs on gasoline and propane so you can use it indoors. I didn’t use the starter initially and it took about five cranks and then another five cranks to get it started. I’m using it to pump out my Well initially it started cutting out because of the CO Sensor. But I determined it was downwind of the exhaust so I just turned the generator around and it’s been running for two hours now pumping out the well amazing price received it in 22 hours.

Style: 8000W, Dual Fuel, Electric Start
man such an all around disappoint. first off just like dozens other reviews mentioned mine also arrived with some pretty bad damage literally requiring me to spend roughly the first 3-5 hours of owning it taking it partially apart and literally welding parts of the frame.Then when putting the handle/wheels on i noticed i was missing both a nut and even worse one of the pins for the wheel, which ended up costing me half my day and probably at least 40-50$ total just in fuel then buying the parts. now these are the minor issues if you can believe it! their just is simply no way possible this thing is putting out anywhere near the advertised wattage conidering the only real thing ive even used it on so far was simply on my tiny little 110v welder which mind you i literally use with my 2400w all electric power station without a single issue but yet this unit which is supposed to be nearly 3x that amount of power simply seemed to struggle as when i just simply would just welding a little it would sound like it was it about to explode which genuinely makes no sense. I mean, I should say it does power the welder but my Lord, you can basically hear it start to kick in and out the idle like it’s struggling very much and then on top of that I had to use half a day and nearly a half a roll of welding wire and luckily, I had enough scrap metal laying around to essentially finagle the whole thing together and sturdy and then once I finally got it stable oil in it and I was running it to power a small little travel trailer, which I’ve powered with a 3500 W generator before so this thing should add no problem and that’s when I discovered if you got a model with the CO sensor shut off well just know that that thing is so sensitive that basically if you drive by the generator while it’s running, the air will blow and instantly shut it off which obviously I’m glad I was testing it out during the day because I sure would’ve hate to have woken up in the middle of the night with no power but basically between 4 PM and about 8 PM the generator had shut itself off seven times and mind you I just bought multiple acres of land in the middle of the desert where I have the generator sitting nearly 30 feet away from the travel trailer not a single other thing around it My only assumption is whenever there’s a gust of wind. It must blow the CO just enough into the sensor to shut it down which in my mind this is way too sensitive at this point I was already exhausted as I spent the entire day working on it so I initially I had some plywood laying around, so I tried basically setting that kind of around it to block the wind went inside 20 minutes later it just dies. And well, that’s when I started looking online if I could find any diagrams or how to bypass it because let’s all be honest here. I don’t think very many people are that clueless. They’re just gonna fire this thing up inside their living room or something and personally, even if I was mounting it like in a cubby in my motorhome or something I would much rather prefer to use external CO sensors, like on my previous rig, I had to set up where I had a small generator that I could slide out kind of like a drawer, and I simply mounted a aftermarket CO sensor inside the cubby that wirelessly transmitted info/data to a small screen inside where I could essentially keep an eye on it, and I even as a secondary precaution, use a second sensor inside the motorhome plugged into an outlet closest to where the generator was at underneath where this one would simply flash and beep essentially just like a fire detector. Needless to say I’m no doctor, but I can guarantee you I would not have gotten any type of poisoning with this generator 30 feet away for my trailer outside while I’m inside and at this point I was about to just take it to the dump until I googled how to bypass it and there’s lots of videos about this for other brands but I literally just found it one video of a guy bypassing his on a Wen generator as well, but not even near the same model and so 11 o’clock at night in pitch black I unscrewed the whole front plate. Praying the colors of the wires were the same as the video I saw and sure enough they were and so there’s a black and a white wire that you need to essentially cut and wire together, and this will bypass the co shutdown. I mean, I’m all for safety, but I see no reason for it to be so sensitive. It shuts the whole generator down in the middle of the desert with nothing around, so bottom line is I essentially spent basically two full days having to go buy stuff and work on this generator just to make it function and then I found out after using it for about two weeks that I made a major mistake and this is the biggest reason I recommend everybody avoid this at all costs, unless maybe you’re buying it to use once or twice a year for emergencies because I’ve had dozens of generators in the past and of course prefer the new inverter style one, but I have a decent size battery bank and solar set up and I figured no reason to buy an expensive generator and noise isn’t really an issue for me but the one thing I didn’t take into consideration, even though buying this versus like the inverter model of it saves you about $250-$300. If you use this generator fairly often, you are going to easily spend that much more just in fuel in three months or less I promise you and that simply because like most people you’re not always using the generator to the max, but it essentially runs the max so basically if I’m just using it to power a lightbulb or an entire house, it runs exactly the same and this thing is a propane and gas hog. It literally costs a fortune to run. I mean there’s been times where I simply needed to run it to hook up my battery charger to charge up my battery bank because there wasn’t enough solar that day, and it uses as much fuel as if it was plugged into my trailer with every single thing on when inverter style ones essentially idle down and up for when less or more power is needed, which this I suppose might’ve been a mistake on my part but regardless in my opinion, I’ve had other generators in the past that also weren’t inverter style and were way more efficient so just be prepared to have a lot of propane or gas even with a huge almost 7 gallon gas tank. You’re lucky to get 12 to 16 hours out of it and honestly initially, I wasn’t even going to use gas at all as I prefer just using propane but once I got it all good and used it for the first time I hooked up 230 pound propane tanks with a splitter and was blown away that both tanks were empty around dinner time when I started it probably at 10 in the morning so unless you need a generator where you’re gonna be using the full power output every single time I cannot stress enough please do not buy this thing not to mention the hundred of other reasons if it was returnable, I would’ve returned it instantly and honestly probably went with a different brand but even if you want to stick with this brand, you can get there 6800 lot inverter model for about $300 more which trust me you’ll save that much in 2 to 4 months easily depending on your usage, not to mention much quieter and efficient output so now I’m so upset because I’m probably just gonna have to sell this locally where I’ll be probably be lucky to get $300-$350 and then purchase a different one so all in all I spent nearly 3 days of my time and probably roughly $50 in miscellaneous materials, just even getting this thing usable and a few weeks I did use it probably spent over $100 between propane and gas so in the end, I went with a different inverter brand style one which was 829 but in all reality practically cost me well over $1300 due to all the money I put in to getting this thing working and usable all the fuel I wasted, and then of course, resale value is never as high as new price. And with my new one with those same two propane tanks, it literally easily runs a full 24 hours which again I guess this is partially my own fault, but I still think this thing is very inefficient fuel wise, but regardless of that, as I already mentioned bothers a dozen other reasons not to get it in my opinion, I guess it would be probably a good generator for somebody looking just to have an emergency backup for their house. They might use 2 to 3 times a year but personally, even then you’re already spending over $500. What’s the difference spending 800 for such a better generator and it just really bugs me that these aren’t returnable on Amazon when they say it’s a safety hazard, but that’s very strange considering multiple other websites that sell generators have no problem doing returns. To save yourself the trouble and headache I went through and by yourself virtually any other generator besides this thing not to mention customer service with zero help I mean, I would’ve honestly been more than happy to even give it a three or four star review if they would’ve responded and maybe worked with me Whether they allowed me to return it since it arrived damaged or at the very least offered like a partial refund or something specially considering I’m guessing the majority of people aren’t handy like I am and have the correct tools to weld rewire and do things meaning I bet 80% of the people ordering these if they would’ve gotten the same one I did would’ve had a paperweight with no help personally I wouldn’t even buy this thing for $200 considering just the cost of using it is sky high. I could honestly go on and on about the negatives of this thing and truly I can’t even think of any positives at all I truly could handle anywhere near the advertised 6800 W I could maybe understand it would be a decent generator for 500 bucks to some people but in my opinion, it can truly only handle maybe 4 to 5000 W at least safely and without damaging the generator, I mean a generator this size shouldn’t even hesitate when plugging in say nothing more than a 30 amp battery charger and a small 5000 BTU window air conditioner, but doing that literally made the generator sound like it was a max RPM even surge on occasion and I truly believe that just even using it with these two items which are maybe even on the high side, pulling 2500 W it would probably blow up after 12 hours of use or best case scenario it certainly is going to have a short life because bottom line it’s still just a gasoline engine and no engine is meant to basically red line 24 seven it would basically be like driving your car at 60 miles an hour and first gear everywhere you go and honestly, this is such a disappointment because I’ve owned a couple other generators from this company a few years back and not only were the generators. Much better built Customer service was exceptional and how do you even got extra accessories like the oil included and other things and now seems like the quality is tanked you barely get anything and customer service is pretty much nonexistent seems like unfortunately once they got bigger and more popular they realize they could keep selling generators solely on their name instead of the quality of their product and service. I mean literally I exchanged a few emails with them and just gave up because I was honestly either talking to AI or someone who had no clue about anything like for example I would email and ask about the CO monitor and would literally get a reply basically saying things like oh do you have enough oil in it is the gas turned on I mean, never got any direct answers to my direct questions which is also why I ended up going with a different brand because I was highly considering buying the 6800 W inverter model they sell for about $800 but in my opinion, customer service is 50% of any product you bun. hould have known for the price and also listened to other reviews, which is the biggest indicator this thing is garbage because no matter what you’re buying it’s always gonna have some bad reviews but the way I go by his if you see multiple bad reviews mentioning the same things that typically means it’s spot on and I’m guessing probably 70% of the five star reviews or people who bought it, threw some oil and gas in it ran it for a minute and then stored it in the corner of their garage and also of course must’ve gotten lucky with a decent delivery which clearly if they were a decent company, I mean there’s dozens and dozens of reviews just on this particular model where the generator arrived broken in so many different ways where any decent company would immediately either contact whoever they use the ship and have a big meeting about it or something to get it straightened out or simply use a different shipper because the damage rate is just way too high. I fully understand it does happen no matter what you buy on things, but I order so much stuff that’s more fragile and even bigger than this and almost never have a problem. I would’ve honestly gladly even paid an extra $25 or something if it guaranteed it arrived undamaged that way they could take that $25 and maybe package it better or use a company that might cost a little bit more but I guess since they know there’s virtually nothing we can do since it’s unreturnable and they don’t even respond they don’t even care. id highly recommend looking elsewhere for literally any other generator and I rarely leave reviews like this but seems like you have about 25 to 35% chance of maybe receiving a intact and good running generator which means there’s a 70% chance you’re gonna receive a damaged one, not to mention the million other issues and at least to me I’m not gonna gamble $500 with such low odds of receiving a functioning unit not damaged. Just trust me when I say even if you can’t possibly maybe afford to spend a few hundred dollars on a different model right now you are so much better off just saving your money and until you can because there’s a high probability you’ll end up like me spending nearly $1400 on a generator that only cost 800 and between repairing the initial one and then having to sell it buy a new one wait for it. It was well over a month ordeal. And this is the main reason I decided to leave this long review because I much rather would’ve spent an extra $300 off the bat had a great running generator right away and the $500 I lost dealing with this piece of junk, I could’ve used to make my battery bank bigger or get more solar panels, etc. etc. I mean I would’ve even been thrilled if they would’ve simply offered me a $60 partial refund to discover all the wasted money in materials I had to buy the get this thing running at the very least. Because it bare minimum, nobody should ever order anything online that’s brand new and have to spend money fixing it to get it to work. I mean, I’ve literally purchased $200 items in the past where something very small was either missing or broke let’s say and immediately the company let me know and offered you know like a $50 partial refund for something like a $15 power cord or something I had to get separately Without hesitation so the fact this company can’t even do something similar on a much more expensive and bigger issue situation really shows you their true colors again not to mention the fact that I’m assuming a vast majority people don’t just have welders laying around and many years experience doing this type of work. And them even offering like a $60 partial refund isn’t even necessarily about the money. It’s just more of the point this is something I would expect buying some Chinese brand on AliExpress not a fairly well-known name brand on Amazon that’s for sure. Just please listen and read this review when I say this thing is not worth it. I genuinely mean it and like I said, I almost never leave reviews.

Works really well. I have an Allegro Bus and the rotor/ stator went in the original cummins qd7500 and gonna cost $4000 to fix. I'm in Arizona and needed something that can run the Motorcoach until the repairs are made. This Wen generator runs everything in the coach had to order a l14-30 to 50a adapter to run the 240v to coach. Runs 2 Dometic Penguin ii air conditioners one 15k btu and one 13.5k btu, microwave/ convection oven and TV's, starlink and outlets for chargers ect. Really happy with purchase. Would definitely buy a Wen again. The only problem I had was generator kept shutting down every couple minutes (didn't realize co2 light was on couldn't see light in sunlight) but moved generator to different position(it was really windy). I guess the wind was blowing exhaust at co2 detector. Since then it hasn't skipped a beat. I highly recommend this generator especially for the price.

If you're on the hunt for a backup power solution, the WEN DF8000X generator is worth checking out. This beast of a machine boasts 8000 watts of power and a convenient electric start. One standout feature is the CO Watchdog, which helps ensure safety by monitoring carbon monoxide levels. This means you can have peace of mind while running this generator.I've personally used this during a recent power outage, and boy, did it deliver! It powered up all my essentials without breaking a sweat. The dual fuel capability is a game-changer too - switch between gasoline and propane based on your preference or availability. One minor downside is that it can be a tad noisy, but honestly, that's expected from a powerful generator like this. All in all, the WEN DF8000X is a solid choice for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient power backup option. 🔋🔌🔥

This generator runs perfectly. It did shut down a few times from the monoxide sensor. I needed to turn the thing so the breeze wasn't blowing towards the exhaust. Quieter than expected. Still a little loud for the RV park we were at. We added a longer muffler to quiet it down more. Now its REALLY quiet. Has more than enough juice coming from the 50 amp outlet ro power the class A. Ill see about a follow up in 6 months - Maybe I can update this then. Thank You

This is the first generator that I have owned. I have not had a need to use it during a power outage yet, but I am very impressed with the design and operation so far. I am an engineer by degree (not electrical) but the design of this machine is impressive. The assembly was very straightforward. Actual small wrenches, not pressed pieces of metal, were provided in sufficient quantity to fully complete the assembly. The oil fill has a sufficient diameter inlet to visually confirm that the proper amount of oil has been added, and a funnel is also provided with the machine. You will need to purchase your own oil in a type to match the temperatures where you live. The fuel fill is a large diameter to help reduce spillage when filling the tank. It comes with a large microfilter to collect any debris, and the cap is connected by a chain to prevent you from dropping it and getting dirt and debris on the gasket which can harm the engine. The fuel fill is also recessed with a spillway so that if any fuel is spilled it is diverted away from areas where damage could be incurred. The battery has a quick connect so that you can easily prevent the battery from draining when not in use. The push button start works like a champ. Just open the fuel valve and slide the choke to run once the engine starts. I read one review that their generator didn’t stop when the run switch was turned off. I can only assume that they did not read the instructions and failed to close the fuel valve prior to switching the generator off. American made is always a huge plus. Overall, it is a very smartly designed machine. The manual recommends running the unit for 20 minutes per month. I intend to do just that and expect many years of operation out of this well-made machine. A solid 5-star piece of equipment.
