We RV full-time and need a generator with enough power to run both of our air conditioners simultaneously plus a few other things, about 3600 watts. This generator does that perfectly! I ran it with under a 50% load for the 8 hour break-in period, changed the oil (which was gray and thick by then), and have tested it to ensure that it provides our needed load. It does so and with significantly less noise than I expected, even for an inverter generator. Starting it is very easy and only takes 1-2 pulls. Also, it has run 12 hours, most of that with about an 1,800 watt load, on only 3.5 gallons of gasoline. To ensure continued successful operation, I will only use ethanol-free gasoline in it to which I will be adding 1 ounce of Seafoam per gallon of gasoline, and I will always run the carburetor empty of gasoline to shut it off.

Super quiet and works great. The handle makes it easy to roll around and the connections and directions are easy to understand. I use it for my camper but I live in FL so I also will be prepared for any storms that happen to come along. It starts on the first or second pull every time. Use ethanol free gas, use the fuel cutoff when you are not going to use it for more than a couple of days, do the break in and oil changes, and don't leave fuel sitting in it for a long time and it should last a long time. It's the perfect size to fit in the back of my truck with the tonneau cover on so it's hidden and it's not too heavy to lift or move around. This generator provided more than enough power for my 30amp camper and I used the AC, the microwave, lights, and who knows what else we had plugged in and there was hardly a noticeable power draw.

I was unfamiliar with the Wen brand so was sceptical but the price was very good so I decided to purchase. I've been extremely satisfied with the purchase. I've got a couple hundred hours on the generator with zero issues. It's very quiet, especially for it's size. The plastic body is good quality. I had to put a high altitude kit on it which was easy to get from Wen directly and it was shipped promptly. The weight is manageable with the long telescoping handle and wheels. It's starts with a few pulls every time. The two things that kept me from a 5 star rating are the fuel level indicator which reads wrong sometimes. Also, the switch could be improved. The setting between choke and run is very "soft" and does not have a positive "click" when going from choke to run. Overall, I would purchase again and recommend.

We just lost power for 9 days during the Palisades fire and this generator shipped the day after I ordered and came in literally 20-ish minutes before our power went out. I had a neighbor help set it up and looked very easy to do. I was able to easily start it by myself and run multiple extension cords to power essentials. We plugged wifi, tv, phone chargers, refrigerator, deep freezer, cappuccino machine, and air fryer. When using the kitchen appliances we would unplug the deep freezer or refrigerator to make sure we didn’t exceed wattage. Very easy to just unplug and plug what was needed in. This saved us! The only thing I wish we could have done was plugged our water heater in and some better lighting. We are now looking at the higher wattage as we are already looking at another power shutoff Monday. I have recommended this one to so many people already! 9 straight days of use from the moment we took it out of the box. I recommend getting 50+ feet for the cords and power strips to plug in multiple things via extension cords. It ran all night long without going off from gas usage. We got 3 2gallon gas cans and a 5 gallon and used a siphoning device for that to transfer gas. It would last 8 hours easy on a tank. Easy peasy! I started it multiple times no husband needed. A child could operate easily. Very user friendly. Highly recommend. Great price and it’s very lovely looking and quiet. The guys that helped set me up asked me for the link bc they couldn’t believe how well it worked and how quiet it was. Thanks for saving our lives this last week +! Sorry for the jumbled review but wanted to make sure to get all the information out there.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I bought this generator for my camper and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. It starts up effortlessly, even better than my Honda generator at work. The operation is impressively quiet, and it easily powers up my AC, lights, fridge, and microwave without any problems. I also got the high altitude kit and magnetic oil dip stick, which further enhance its performance. The fact that my boss was so impressed that he got one for himself speaks volumes about its quality and reliability. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a reliable power source for outdoor adventures!
