Description

Remember when you had clean and quiet portable power? The WEN 4,000-Watt Inverter Generator provides clean energy, free of voltage spikes and drops for safe use with laptops, phones, and other sensitive electronics. Our 212cc 4-stroke OHV engine produces up to 4000 surge watts and 3500 rated watts of power. 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 sensitive electronics. Our ultra-efficient 1.85-gallon tank provides over 7 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 one 120V RV-ready TT-30R receptacle. 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 two 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 its a WEN product, your open frame inverter generator comes backed by a two-year warranty, a nationwide network of skilled service technicians, and a friendly customer help line, all to make sure you remember WEN.

abunda_amazon_reviews It’s heavy but starts easy and packs the power we need. Very quiet too! Will run 2 freezers and 2 refrigerators and doesn’t even grunt. Living in California it gives us peace of mind considering we now have blackouts due to fire control. I usually don’t do reviews but I did a lot of searching to find this and thought it might help someone else. 👍;;Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Powerful and Quiet;;Gordy;;;Well, I have to say I like wen. I have the 2000w model and it works flawlessly, however it cannot run the ac, so I have upgraded to the 3800w model. You get some tools and an excellent funnel to make filling oil easy. You have to undo engine securing bolts before running it, and the paper that told you that was tucked in with the rest of the documentation and I can see someone missing it and trying to start the genny with the bolts still on. So, the issue that I did have. Filled with gas, filled with oil, put in the magnetic oil top that i had from my 2000w, turned to on and pushed button. Its cranking!!! But, no cigar. No matter what i did it would not start. I went through all the troubleshooting and the decided to check spark plug. Guess what, it was completely off, popped it back on and it started on the first pull!!! Yay!!! Now I just need to recharge the battery and we are good to go. The generator is quiet, and I am gona be a happy camper! It is pretty heavy, however the wheels and the handle make it very convenient to wheel around. Issue - the genny would not stay running. The spark plug top was disintegrated and it would fall off from vibration. Not sure who to contact.;;Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2019;;1.0 out of 5 stars;;Would not buy again.;;Swarmy;;;I have a Honda EU2000i for comparison. I also used a decibel meter to measure the levels. Advertised at 57db, but measured 64db at 23ft, even with a cover over the top. Still a great unit. The electric start works exceptionally well. Attached mine to an external tank for convenience.;;Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2020;;4.0 out of 5 stars;;Not quite as quiet as advertised.;;Lord Nelson;;;first impressions great buy Its super quiet the WEN 56380i Super Quiet 3800-Watt Portable Inverter Generator with Fuel Shut-Off and Electric Start closed frame It is replacing an old Honda EM600 (from the 1960s) that is just too small for the new trailer & all the goodies in the new trailer the Wen runs the microwave the air conditioner refrigerator charge the batteries easily nearly as quiet as the EM600 Honda someone complained about the engine securing bolts page they will be happy to know the book has complete info on how to remove them + the extra page ******* REMOVING THE MOUNTING PLATES Your generator is shipped with four mounting plates that secure the engine to the generator housing in order to prevent machine damage during shipping. Make sure to remove the four mounting plates before operating your generator. To remove the mounting plates: 1. With the help of another person, place generator on an elevated platform such as table or workbench. Make sure the generator is stable. Do not to tilt the generator as there may be remaining fuel inside the crankcase from testing. 2. Remove the four nuts (Fig. 1 - 3) and mounting plates (Fig. 1 - 2) from the generator's baseplate (Fig. 1 - 1). 3. Follow the instructions in the following pages to prepare your generator for starting ******** 1 read the instructions the book gives all necessary steps to prep & start the generator properly peeped it started it ran it for an couple hours Ran;;Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;this is quieter than my old Honda EM600;;Handy Andy;;;I love this generator so far! It is a little heavy but it has wheels and a very large handle to wheel on the ground. Makes it very easy. All the gauges and electric start work flawlessly and it is very very nice to see how much of a load it is running when you have your stuff plugged in. Even in the higher revs it is pretty quite. My 2000 watt Honda generator is louder than this generator when it kicks up the RPM. Over all very happy with this generator. Also, it is a good idea too change out the oil after breaking in the motor. I didnt see anything about having to break in the motor but being a motor head, I made sure I ran it for 15 minutes, shut it off, rand it again for 15 minutes and shut it off again and let it cool. Then drain the oil and add fresh oil. It's important to get all the metal flakes out when you break it in as soon as possible. Do this and you will have a awesome generator! Very pleased!;;Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Awesome Generator;;Tyler Gentry;;;This is a great generator! Ran the AC (13,500 BTU) all night (8 hours) on eco mode and only went through half a tank. Off eco mode it went through most of the tank only running the AC all night (8 hours). It is heavy and bulky;;Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2019;;4.0 out of 5 stars;;Great generator;;Charlie
