I have now used this generator for a few weeks, to power an air compressor and fan in my garage at home, and mainly to charge my travel trailer's lithium battery several times during a cold snap when solar panels were covered with snow and not generating amperage (until I could get up on the TT roof to remove the snow). This generator works really well. I ran it on both propane and on gasoline. The pull cord starts the generator easily, as shown on many YouTubes available to look at on line. It only weighs roughly 50 pounds with fuel in it so it's easy to move around and in my case put it into my pickup truck after use. I am planning to take this generator with us on our month of camping and touring in May of this year. I'll provide more detail after that. One more thing, the Wen website is really easy to navigate and answer questions. It's chock full of information. I also called their customer support about technical questions and they quickly and easily helped me.

Last night around 6:30 the power went out as hurricane Francine was approaching us. Waited half an hour and it looked like it wasnt coming back on so I went outside and got out my brand new Wen 3600 Watt generator that I bought in June. Still had to put the oil in it it was so new. So I put oil in it, gassed it up and fired it up. Second pull it started and smoked its tail off. And then it died and wouldnt restart. Tried the fuel cap and it had a suction sound to it so figured that was it, cap wasnt venting. Restarted it and it still smoked and ran rough. Died a few times and couldnt get it to run long enough to hook up any load to it. By this time I am in a T shirt, joggers with flip flops and soaked to the bone. Its getting dark and weather is getting worse so figured I would look at it in the morning after the storm and went in and dried off.Had some battery camping lights and a radio so I was set for the night and it was cool. Low 70's so me and Jasper my cat chilled while listening to the storm pass us on by. The eye of the storm went right over my house.This morning went out and started the generator up again. It cranked right up and still smoking its tail off. Plugged up the load from my solar system with the chest freezer, fridge and the gen idled way up and took the load. Almost died a couple times but it kept running while still smoking its tail off. Figured ok, lets see what else this smoking pig will take and plugged up the line that had the lights, computer, all the kitchen and living room appliances and it took that load fine. Still smoking but not nearly as bad as it was. So i plugged up a 5000 btu window AC and turned that on high. Damn lil generator took the load just fine. I estimated 2000 watt load on it now. Ok, time to get greedy and got out the coffee maker. That takes about 1000 watts and is a big load on top of everything else but I wanted to see how strong this generator really is. Not even a hick up. Damn thing took the load fine and I opened the door and the smoking stopped. It was sitting there running nice and quietly.At first I thought the generator was going to be pure junk that is way past its return date but I lucked out and its a keeper. It ran for about 4 hours before the power came back on and burned maybe half a gallon of gas. Not bad. Then my girlfriend came and grabbed the little generator to take to a friend that lived next door to her. She had a freezer full of food she didnt want to lose and I had power restored so sure. Girlfriend told me last night she watched her go out around 7 am and gas up my generator, cranked it up and went to work. Around 5 yesterday afternoon the wife said she heard it die so she went over, filled the gas up and cranked it up again. Thing ran 10 hours keeping a freezer and fridge running. Not bad at all on a gallon and a half of gas. At the time of writing this review the generator has around 50 hours run time and runs perfectly. No smoking at all and provides plenty of power.I was able to run a fridge and freezer (500 watts combined) desktop computer and monitor (300 watts) lights and small appliances like router and modems (200 watts) and a 5K btu window air conditioner ( 600 watts) for around 1600 watts combined and then use a coffee maker for another 1K watts which is about 2600 watts total and the generator took the load with no complaints Ran great. Highly recommend!!!

If it’s on sale it’s worth it. It’s a sweet little generator but it’s a little noisy when it’s not in eco mode compared to some other inverters, still worth it. Break in period takes a while and your neighbors will hate you but it’s a necessary evil. This thing is solid, heavy, and well made. Easy access to the inside of it. I would recommend grabbing the magnetic oil drain plug as well. End of the day it works great and it was worth every penny.

I'm really impressed by this generator. I strictly run it off LP. It is very quiet and starts up easily. I got it as a backup from my whole house generator system to run a fridge or two and also to have on the go in my truck. I've also heard the engine is the same as the Champion that are both made in Vietnam.

Great to have the dual fuel option, have only tried it with propane thus far, didn't want to deal with putting in gas and storing if I didn't use all the gas. Easy enough to disconnect the propane. Haven't run it with full load, it was able to keep my refrigerator/freezer running and power electronics in my whole house tankless gas water to take hot showers. Pretty much all I wanted it for.

I love it. Very happy. Great product great price.

The media could not be loaded. This was researched a lot before I made the purchase. I’ve known many that buy a generator when it’s a must, then a year later the gas is bad and it won’t start when you need it again. I wanted propane or dual fuel….and I will only use gas if propane is unavailable or ……no I’ll still probably use propane if it’s outlawed…. This starts right up and runs super quiet. There is an eco switch that, when turned on, makes the rpm’s of the generator run with the power demand instead of at idle(demo in video). This makes it much quieter when powering smaller things and saves fuel. This is light enough to take anywhere and has a sleek outer case that won’t get snagged on things when carrying it around. The side panel comes off easily. There is a spark plug access cover on top for “easier” access to the plug.
