Remember when your backup plan had a backup plan? Whether we’re providing your home electricity during a crisis or charging your family’s cellphones at the campgrounds, WEN has been reliably lighting up lives since 1951. Now, with the WEN 14500-Watt Tri Fuel Electric Start Generator, you’ll be able to pull power from three different sources. Simply select your preferred method – gasoline, propane, or natural gas – and power on. With 14500 surge and 11500 running watts on gasoline, 12500 surge and 10300 running watts on LPG, and 10500 surge and 8750 running watts on NG, it’s durable enough for the job site and reliable enough for home emergency backup. Electric start lets you power up your generator with the turn of a key, and includes a recoil starter as backup. Our packed panel features four three-prong 120V NEMA 5-20R outlets, a 120V/240V 30A NEMA L14-30R outlet, a 120V/240V 50A NEMA 14-50R outlet, and a standard 12V DC automotive outlet. The onboard data meter digitally displays voltage, frequency, total runtime, and session runtime to help keep tabs on maintenance intervals. Run your lights, TV, refrigerator, sump pump, power tools, or other essentials with ease. The wheel and handle kit makes transportation easier than ever, while the included six-foot LPG hose allows for immediate connection to propane tanks. Thanks to its 240V capability, powerful 500cc engine, and included NG quick-connect adapter, this generator is the perfect portable alternative to hefty and expensive standby units (NOTE: NG hose not included / sold separately, part no.

Nice unit at a reasonable price
Finally unpacked, assembled, and tested this today. I live in Fl and have used a Kubota 6500w diesel generator for the last 21 years. It got me through a lot outages. It quit working and I haven’t been able to find parts to repair it and with freezers full of food and hurricane season approaching, I choose this unit for my power needs..
This Wen DF-1100 was delivered by ABF trucking. They communicated well about schedule/time, the machine was in it’s factory box and strapped securely to a pallet in an enclosed semi trailer. Not a dent/tear/mark on the box so hats off to ABF trucking-great job. Finally got the box out of my van today and assembled the unit which consisted of attaching the wheels, handles, pads, adding oil, connecting positive cable to battery, removing the 2 shipping bars, connecting the propane regulator line and the propane tank. Very easy setup. The battery seemed fully charged and within a few spins the engine was purring nicely. I ran it for about 5 minutes and then connected my pool pump to it and let it run about 20 minutes. Everything checked out fine and the meter/monitor functions as it should. The unit is fairly loud but not dramatically louder than any other I’ve heard. It seemed to me it was actually a bit quieter than expected. I’ll be building a dedicated enclosure for this unit near my power pole and that will make a huge difference on the noise level.
I haven’t put gasoline in the tank yet and have only run it once on propane. The dual fuel aspect of this genny is great. I have a 1000 gal in ground propane tank and I’m considering running a permanent line to it once I have an enclosure built. It is more expensive to run it on propane but for longevity, the propane burns much cleaner and the engine will have an extended life versus gasoline. I plan to
get a magnetic oil dipstick for it to help keep the oil clean as there is no oil filter. Oil changes look like an easy affair and at 1 quart, I plan to change it frequently. I will add an inline fuel filter before I try it in gas mode. I like that it has an on/off gas petcock as I always run the carb dry when shutting down. This is key and here’s an example of why. I have a gas powered pressure washer with a small Honda engine. I always add fuel stabilizers to the gas on all my small engine stuff, mowers, p washers, generators etc. as sometimes a good deal of time goes by between usages. The last time I used the washer was almost 2 years ago. I turned off gas petcock at last use and it ran until all the gas was burned. I just used it and it started on the 2nd pull after 2 years. No gunked up carb because all the gas was burned out of it and the gas in the tank was still fine.
So far, this genny seems like great value but only time will tell regarding longevity. The owners manual is pretty good. There is an exploded view of the engine and the generator with a complete list of ALL parts with part numbers. There is also a complete wiring diagram of the electrical components. I just spent an hour looking up parts on the Wen website. Every item I clicked on was readily available. I plan on assembling a good selection of replacement parts as I will have this unit for years and it seems everything can be repaired with current parts availability should the need arise. I think this is a good strategy for anyone purchasing a generator for the long haul. Based on my initial unpacking and test, I would not hesitate to recommend this unit. I will do some follow up reviews on this unit as time passes and usage goes up.

Powers ALMOST all of a 3k sqft home
TL:DR: Best price youâre going to find for this size and it has been reliable for the last 9 months.
I installed an inlet for a generator to my panel. The idea is to avoid running extension cords to the generator in an outage. Remember that you have to cut the main breaker before turning on the generator breaker, otherwise youâre powering the grid too. Anyway, I expected to turn off all the breakers and slowly turn on the needed breakers. BUTâ¦I felt like testing it so I just left them all on, flipped the main breaker off, and after the generator warmed up, I flipped the inlet breaker (to power everything on my panel). The generator hiccuped for a second and then hummed. Iâm talking everything that you have in a 3k sqft home, this thing powered (2 fridges, internet, furnace, lights, microwave, oven, tvs, etc.). Beautiful.
That was winter, though, and the furnace pulls nowhere near what the AC units pull. I tried this same trick in the summer and it killed the generator. So that just means that when power is out, youâll need to cycle between house power and AC power (you can cool your house and maintain fridge temps this way. I tested it. Best cycle is 1 hour on/off).
As far as the generator itself, this is a UNIT. You canât beat it even at Harbor Freight (Predator). I tried. When you compare the two (same size), theyâre the same price, but the WEN comes with the wheel kit and the battery. Thatâs about $50 each for a total of $100. So you save $100 going with the WEN. I have other WEN tools and theyâve been great (bench grinder, biscuit joiner, and more). It has instructions all over the place so itâs easy to find the choke and other important parts. I start it once a month and it has yet to show any weakness. Nothing on it feels cheap. LOUD. VERY VERY LOUD. But loud is better than freezing so neighbors are going to have to deal with it in an outage. Might build an insulated box. Weâll see.
Buy it.

Good Generator!!!
I read the reviews on this generator and some people said that they didn’t recommend this unit. But most people said they liked the unit. After running my generator for 6 days straight, I have to say it has held up well. You just have to maintain the generator with proper oil changes. If you follow the instructions of the manual you should be ok. I would highly recommend this unit for the price point and performance. I ran 2 refrigerators, 5 fans, 3 tv’s, 6 lamps and my run time was about 8 hours between each tank of fuel. The fuel tank is 6.6 gallons. Noise level is about average to most portable generators and very easy to start with turn key & pull coil. If you are looking for an affordable option for a generator this is it.

Excellent Quality. I highly recommend.
We bought this home generator after reading the excellent reviews.
As luck is often not on our side, we were hit with a hurricane two weeks after we purchased this model.
Itâs already assembled and ready to use, just add fuel and oil . The design was very well done and it was easy to use. The noise level was minimal compared to other devices. It literally saved us. We were without power for only three days.
It barely used fuel. We were able to keep our refrigerator running and a few lights and a fan. The durability was a shock of gratitude for our family. The versatility of being able to move its location from our shed for my husbandâs wood crafting workshop to our home use was something that we all needed and were very grateful for.

generator seems to work fine altho haven’t had a chance to reallytry it yet. Started easily. Problem I have is that I have ordered a couple of dipsticks, supposed to be for this model. Not ! I can’t get info to see which one has the proper threading. The ones recommended do not work. So this is a frustrating issue.
