Description

Remember when you had clean and quiet portable power? The WEN 2800-Watt Inverter Generator provides clean energy, free of voltage spikes and drops, without all the noise of a regular generator. Produce up to 2800 surge watts and 2250 rated watts of power on gasoline, or connect a propane tank for up to 2800 surge watts and 2000 rated watts of power on LPG. 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 98cc engine operates at a quiet 60 decibels at no load. This limits its invasiveness while camping, hunting, tailgating, and restoring backup power. The WEN 2800W 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 45-pound design makes for easy portability while the ultra-efficient 1.58-gallon tank provides up to 9 hours of half-load run time (or 13.9 hours half-load run time on a 20-pound LPG tank). The fully-packed panel comes equipped with two three-prong 120V NEMA 5-20R receptacles, one 12V DC 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 fuel. 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.

Nice purchase for a decent price!
Size: 2800W Dual Fuel + CO Alarm
I'm happy with my purchase. It's provides pretty quiet power when I need it. It's easy to start. Lasts a long time on a tank of fuel (depending on power draw) it's a nice, small size. Not too heavy. Breaking In is pretty easy. Love the fuel shut off to run the fuel out of the carb and the dual fuel feature. So far (knock on wood), I haven't ran into any of the issues brought up by other reviewers. Haven't had any problems with the spark arrestor or the O2 sensor, not even so far. The jet. It appears to come from the factory for the lowest elevation while I live at an elevation of almost 5000 feet and Ive ran it at over 6000 ft while it's only supposed to be good for up to 3 or 4000 ft with the jet that comes in it. I did order the 5 to 6000 ft jet but getting to the carb is a problem so let's just hope it works ok at almost 9000 ft in a few weeks. ... show more

Interesting purchase
Size: 2800W Dual Fuel + CO Alarm
So I purchased 2800w dual fuel in Nov 2025. Arrived quickly and in good condition. Box was clearly labeled dual fuel as well as the generator itself. Had a manual, oil, and a propane hose and regulator. There is a fuel selector knob on the side, as well as a selector switch on the panel for gas or propane. First problem was I noted that the selector switch on the side had no position label. Couldn’t tell if it was on, off, choke etc. Then I discovered there was no place to hook up the propane, and no selector switch on the panel. This was a brand new unit labeled and boxed as a dual fuel with dual fuel accessories, but apparently a gas only unit. I contacted Amazon for replacement but they said I had to go thru the seller to get it replaced. I contacted Wen, and they were very responsive. They said I had to contact the actual 3rd party seller. In researching who this was, the 3rd party seller was “Amazon warehouse”. So had to call Amazon back and explain everything again, and they finally sent me a new replacement unit and picked up the original. Amazon very responsive. The guy from Wen who I called originally was very interesting. I mentioned that this was probably a mixup at the factory, but he said probably not. He said whenever Wen gets a return for an item like this, they never attempt to repair or modify it, no matter how minor the issue. It goes straight to a 3rd party vendor who sorts thru them and repairs or repackages them and resells them as refurbished. He said sometimes unscrupulous vendors will take these kinds of products that have minor issues or missing parts, repackages them and sells back to Amazon as new units. His message was in some cases, new from Amazon may be refurbished. In any case, the generator itself is great. Starts easy, both on gas and propane, relatively quiet, and performs as advertised. You may have to pull a few extra pulls in propane mode until the propane gets thru the system, but no problem after that. And as mentioned both Amazon and Wen have great customer service. ... show more

Reliable, Quiet, and Well-Built Portable Generator
Size: 2800W Dual Fuel + CO Alarm
’ve been very pleased with this generator so far. The overall build quality is impressive, and it feels solid and well-made right out of the box. I’ve only run it on gasoline at this point, so I can’t comment on propane performance yet, but gasoline operation has been excellent. Starting has been consistently easy, and the generator has fired up reliably every time I’ve needed it. It also provides steady, consistent power without any noticeable fluctuations, which is exactly what you want from an inverter generator. Noise levels are reasonable as well. It’s not silent, of course, but it’s relatively quiet for a generator in this class and much less intrusive than many conventional generators I’ve used in the past. The portable design makes it easy to move around, and features like the fuel shutoff and CO Watchdog provide additional peace of mind. Overall, this has been a dependable, well-built generator that starts reliably, runs quietly, and delivers consistent power. Based on my experience so far, I would definitely recommend it. ... show more

DO NOT BUY!!!!!
Size: 2800W Dual Fuel + CO Alarm
Shipping was very fast. Being off grid and having our generator fail, it was nice to receive this one quickly and being in operation in no time. Then the problems started. During the first run a bolt was laying by it. The second run it was running rough already. I had to add engine oil on the third run. Then it started leaking fuel. After removing the side cover to see where fuel was coming from, another bolt and spring layed in the bottom. Not being able to ship it back for replacement or warranty, I solved the carburetor fuel problem. Next is was running poorly again. A new spark plug solved that. Next the fuel begain to leak again. Now it will not start. All this in less then 2 weeks. ... show more

Great little generator
Size: 2800W Dual Fuel + CO Alarm
My first generator. I’m currently on the 25hr break in period portion. It is easy to start, works well for my needs. I can carry it with one hand by myself when it is full of fuel. The one thing It can use improving is the work area when changing the spark plug. I have small hands and it barely fit. Update: The manual appears to be wrong. It says get a ngk CR6HSA. But the WEN 2800 boot requires a cap. The stock torch has a cap so getting the HSA will not fit. You need thr CR6HSB. ... show more

Very good on propane
Size: 2800W Dual Fuel + CO Alarm
Set it up for propane ,it started on 4th pull with 5 prime pushes! Ran a lamp and small fan for twenty minutes before shutting it down. Sound was about the same as my 80 cc inverter generator running gas, not very loud at all! Its a keeper!

Very efficient . . .
Size: 2800W Dual Fuel + CO Alarm
THE GOOD: The WEN generator is better than I expected. It started on the third pull. When using propane in Eco-Mode it is very frugal. I was concerned about the carbon monoxide but that is not a problem. When running the unit outdoors my First Alert could not detect any carbon monoxide when held a few inches from the exhaust port. Your experience may be different. It performs as advertised. THE BAD: I arrived home to find the generator package upside down. I could clearly read "FRAGILE - THIS SIDE UP" from a distance, even though the package was upside down. Amazon needs to educate it's delivery people. Opening the package the generator was covered in oil because the unit had been flipped upside down. I cleaned the outside and removed the side panel and soak up what oil that was reachable on the inside. Connecting the propane tank, I had the fire extinguisher on standby for a trial run. White smoke bellowed out of the exhaust port for 10 minutes. That was the oil be burned off. Once the oil burned off the engine settled down and began to run smoothly. CONCLUSION: It is an excellent product. Amazon could exercise more care during the delivery. You will want to purchase the optional magnetic dipstick.

Runs awesome, super quiet
Size: 2800W Dual Fuel + CO Alarm
I've had a 4800W Wen dual fuel for well over 10 years with the plan being hooking it up to run the whole house, but since installing a very expensive new furnace with sensitive controls I decided to just run it solo for the fridges and a couple lights. For that I wouldn't need such a big genny, and when a Prime deal popped up for this one I jumped on it. This thing's light enough to run around with, and the size is great! Did a test run and it started up after like 2 pulls. (NOTE: if yours won't start right away, give it a couple minutes rest- that propane needs to make its way through the line and replace the air, this is perfectly normal) The genny runs beautifully- and quiet! So glad I grabbed it during the sale. ... while I was at it, I decided to try the old one just for the heck of it... after over a decade sitting in the shed it too started on the second pull! (The battery was long dead, but didn't even need the electric start!) GREAT job, Wen! ... show more
