    Great RELIABLE Generator!!
    I purchased this originally for hurricane season. It got here on May 9th. May 10th had two tornadoes strike the house. This generator saved my life for the entire 5 days that I was buried underneath all the trees and debris. Very easy to use excellent quality manufacturing wise. Tough sturdy little generator not that loud, excellent value for the money. Highly recommend if you value your life. Ran the refrigerator, freezer, TV, power banks and two fans no problem. Carries a good load on very little gas. Not that heavy.

    Very dependable. Strong fairly priced unit. Have never had ANY problems wit it.
    We use this gen on our construction sites. Very dependable. Powerful. Love the electric start. Will replace it with same if needed.

    reliable, easy repeatable start, good design and nice features
    The electric start works every time. The gas tank has a gas level indicator, so no guessing when it needs gas. An hour clock keeps track of hours used, as well as frequency and current. Also nice. Location of oil plug is easily reachable and pan can fit directly under it to collect old oil. It is about 100 lbs in weight. But very maneuverable with the retractable leverage arms. It is very economical in gas consumption. It has drainage features for gas when put into long term storage. Thoughtful design. The only draw back is that the voltage frequency is not as stable as inverter generators. So it isn’t a good choice for powering electronics. My dust collector 2 HP motor had difficulty starting up on this generator, even though it only consumed about 15A. Could be increased start up current. Don’t have the equipment to check this theory. In short well designed, well built, and easy to use. Noise level is not as bad as my pressure washer.

    So far *chef”s kiss*
    Arrived over a day early (thank you so much) and my 23 yo daughter and myself (51 yo woman) just turned one of the window ac units to fan FROM ac. Got chilly…only about 4 hours after delivery, set up and a run to buy gas and go to Home Depot where all of the multi outlet cords were gone :/
    In Houston without power since Monday. MONDAY.
    I should’ve bought one sooner but was intimidated.
    Shouldn’t have been.
    Seems very loud but it’s my first one. May check out adding a propane one in case gas is hard to come by again…like earlier this week.
    Will come back if I have to whine or ask any questions okay?
    Previous commenters helped me go with this one.
    After a very hot 5.5 days, this costing around $400 feels like a steal.
    Currently running 2 window ac units and a power strip with 2 monitors, a gaming pc, and we’re charging our devices off of it.
    Plan on adding a dorm size fridge when a capable cord comes in. Fingers crossed.
    We’ll be ready with confident generator usage this hurricane season. AS LONG AS I CAN GET GAS!
    Picture is something the manual didn’t mention in the starting instructions. A neighbor I asked to crank it up told me.
    This lever needs to be in this position to start. GOT IT? Good, very good.
    Edit: one tank lasted 14 hours running both window units and the power strip (plus internet).
    Checked the oil, all good. It was an easy gas refill, the auto start didn’t work but pulled the handle once and it fired right up (like when the neighbor did it).
    So pleased, life isn’t miserable now!

    IMO good value for the $.
    Unit came in a box, 110 lbs., and the drivers just unloaded it on the front porch even though i left instructions not to do so, take it to garage. Assembly not too bad, read instructions first. Started, unit died in 5-8 seconds, again same thing with CO light blinking (no way, open area). Again and this time CO light was yellow-service issue. Called Wen, told story, they said bad CO module and sent me a new one–but no instructions on how to install. I’m a former tech, no problem for me to figure out how to do it but others would have a lot of trouble. Ran fine afterward. Love wheels, electric start, ease of gas/oil fill. Average noise, yuk. Still, a good deal for the bucks.

  6. I highly recommend!! I hit a jersey barrier going about 65mph, and got drug about 100ft, these shoes prevented me from loosing my foot!!! They were still so snug after the wreck the paramedic had to cut the shoe off

    Great generator
    “I bought this generator a few months ago when it was on sale, and last week, during a hurricane that knocked out power for six days, it really proved its worth. It kept the house cool, the food fresh, and the lights on. I ran it for 36 hours straight without a single issue. It barely used any fuel and was extremely quiet! I highly recommend this generator.”

    Works well
    It was soon heavy. You will need help moving and setting wheels up. One of the tunes that hold the feet was dented, but we managed to beat the leg on. Instructions could be clearer. Was glad to have it for after the hurricane. Im making payments thru Amazon, so no interest and affordable. Its a must have in Florida.

    Disappointing Performance
    It frequently struggles to start and often shuts down unexpectedly during use. The fuel efficiency is poor, leading to constant refueling. Additionally, it’s louder than expected, making it unsuitable for quiet environments.
