WENDF451i Super Quiet 4500-Watt Electric Start Dual Fuel RV-Ready Portable Inverter Generator with Fuel Shut-Off

Great generator. very quiet. About the same as my older EU 2000 , Honda generator.Easy to use. Excellent manual. easy to maintain.Like the fact that you don't have to tip it on its side to change the oil. runs my AC on our RV, no problem. It is heavy, but is has good wheels and a nice fold down handle for moving it. weights about twice as much as my old Honda, but twice as powerful. takes my wife and myself to load it in our vehicle, but we are not as young as we once was. (100) lbs. electric Start works well. all plug ins and controls are easy to understand. price was fair and warrantee, seems like it will be good. So far very happy with it. did as the manual says. ran it for approximately 8 hours, drained out the oil, (break in oil) and installed new oils per the manual. I used 10-30 synethic oil, as it's good for all temperatures. Does have nice lifting handles for loading. Also ordered the madnectic Oil plug for the unit right away. Glad I Did, as most new small motor engines seem to have slight slight metallic particles stuck on the plug, when changing the break in oil. For small units like this, there is no oil filtering device so recommend, the magnetic oil plug. seems to be a great unit and am extremely happy.

We live on a boat and bought this generator about a year ago. We use it almost every day to supplement our solar and wind generators. It is the easiest generator we’ve ever had to start. You basically turn a knob and it fires right up. The fuel tank is huge. Feed it at 10 p.m. and it runs until almost 9 a.m. at low. Plus, when shutting it down, you can just turn the “knob” to off and it works until it runs out of fuel, so you aren’t fouling the carburetor with old fuel if it sits for a while. Really great feature if it’s only used occasionally.Ours recently had an issue with the spark plug housing causing a voltage fault and inoperability. Like I said, we use ours pretty much daily. My husband did research and says this seems to be somewhat common and parts are available but hard to find. Thus my recommendation for the protection plan. We contacted Wen and found that the warrantee was for 3 years OR 500 hours. So, ours was now beyond the Wen warrantee. Yay, Asurion Protection Plan! We contacted Asurion and they declared it was a loss. So, we re-bought the exact same generator and are anxiously awaiting its arrival. So, yes, this is a great generator. Depending on your use, you might have issues. Love it enough that we bought it again.Just as an aside, since we live in a harbor with noise regulation, the decibel ratings were very important to us. There have been countless times one of us has pulled up to our boat in our dinghy and had to check to see if the generator was running. It’s that quiet. Believe it or not, the Honda 2200 we’ve rented while waiting on the new generator to arrive is MUCH louder. We can hear the rental generator while in bed with fans and air conditioning running (it’s the Florida Keys, y’all. Blistering hot even in October). The Wen, we have to get up and go check to see if it’s still running. Pretty impressive for a much more robust machine.Yes, it’s heavy but it’s a great generator. Absolutely get one! Just make sure to get the protection plan, especially if you plan to use it a lot.

Very quiet, easy to start, runs great; perfect for the RV, work projects on our property, and when power goes out at home.

I have the very large though mobile Generac units to run well pumps at the farm, etc.For the barn, I’d like something whisper quiet so I can play a stereo connected to Bose outdoor speakers.When I first got it, I thought what a tiny little cube.It is a tiny little cube comparatively but is it ever a reliable little workhorse.Ergonomically the fold down handle is wonderful. It’s not one of the split wheelbarrow type handles and it folds fully back into the cube. And the wheels on the back make it easy enough for a person of any size to pull it up on a trailer bed or even across hay covered barn floor.Every single time I’ve pulled that cord, it starts on the first pull. Rotate the primer knob to Start position, pull and Whoala!It runs and runs and runs for hours. No 93 octane required.I had to laugh when my Chinese unit was needed to jump start my Genera’s dead battery, started in the first pull, did its job and the well pump worked.The only thing I’d tweak in engineering is the whisper. It’s whisper is kinda like a 6 year old grand daughter in a movie theater that everyone behind you and in front of you hear.Don’t get me wrong. It’s quieter than a larger generator but it is no floor fan. 55db is questionable with one Nakakixhi amp plugged in yet wuiet enough that you can sit with a small glass of bourbon in a rocking chair overlooking your orchard and not have to turn the steep up to 75db.This product gets 5 stars. Price wise. Operationally. Reliability. Ergonomically. A great little unit.
