This arrived quickly and initial set up was easy. My Amazon delivery driver was very friendly. I cycled this for 8 hours, on and off eco mode, first no, then minimal load, to break it in. Afterwards, I took it into my kitchen (please don't tell my wife) and I changed the oil. The next day, I tested it out on my camper and used the air conditioning (13K BTU). The generator accepted the load with no issues. The generator is very easy to start, even when cold. I like the gauges and I find it to be pretty quiet. The size is great, because if I choose to, I can store it in my camper, under my lower bunk storage. Even when doing this - I noticed no gasoline smell after driving home. I'm curious to monitor the fuel consumption. On a hot day of testing with the A/C on constantly, I only got around 4 hours on a tank. But again, the generator was barely broken in, and it was a very hot day. All in all I do not foresee any issues with this generator. I think it will serve my needs well. It seems very well built and is easy to use. I like having the power option when I need it. I do recommend this generator for camper use and otherwise. Read more
Used this little inverter on my house for 120v appliances. Works great and is decently quiet for the price. powers my fridge, boiler, lights and a tv while power is out. Pretty light weight for a generator and can be carried around easily. Comes with a floating nuetral out of the box so you dont double bond your house. Read more
Excellent light generator. Not quite as quiet as my Honda 3000IS but a fraction of the weight. However, that being said it is not loud either. Just a get decibels more as the Honda is the gold standard at 4 times the cost. I am past break in and only use propane, it is relatively easy to start, runs clean. I use synthetic oil. One surprise is you drain the oil out the oil fill by tilting it. Another user noted the RV outlet was coming loose in use…I have not had any issues with that. I also use a magnetic dip stick so no fines will be circulating and wearing out bearings. It is strong enough to power the trailer A/C with no issues. I have not had enough run time to fully evaluate fuel consumption. Read more
I bought this to use with my Arctic Fox camper after my built-in four year old Onan LP generator failed twice, the second time the part needed to repair it was no longer being made. The Wen is a reasonable weight, it starts easily and is a strait up bargain for a 3600 dual fuel inverter generator. It is not super quiet, but it is quieter than the Onan. I rated it four stars for a couple of reasons that mainly have to do with my intended usage. First, the 30 amp plug is located in a funky place. The attached pic shows it is impossible to seat the rv plug in the outlet because the panel below the plug sticks out. If left as it is the plug will eventually back out due to vibration. I am going to shave down the rv cable to make it work. My second issue is I was hoping to use my campers propane supply to run the generator. I have a regulated outlet on the rear of the rig to power a grill, propane firepit, etc. I was going to build a strait hose without a regulator to make this happen. Unfortunately, the pic supplied by Wen does not show the huge additional regulator on the LP hose. I assume this is to control the gas flow when in Eco mode. I am going to confirm this with Wen later. Until then, I will be toting a third propane tank around. I definitely recommend this generator. It will run my 10800 but AC if needed. Can get a propane refill, buy some gas. It is safe for today's electronics. Also, I emailed Wen questions before buying it and they generally responded in a couple of days. Update: The generator continues to start without issue….even if the temps are below 40 degrees. I have it hooked to a Flame King 20 pound propane tank with a float valve fuel level gauge, which takes the guesswork out of propane levels. I have seen some pretty eye opening claims about the Wen’s runtime on a 20p/5 gal tank..Wen claims 14 hours! I am seeing about six hours per tank after break in using a mix of eco and regular settings, mostly just charging my camper batteries and my Jackery generator. On the upside, some items that use propane get finicky when the gas levels get low. The Wen starts right up with 1/4 full tank. Read more
