WEN 2800-Watt Dual Fuel Inverter Generator, Quiet, Portable, and Lightweight with Fuel Shut Off and CO Watchdog (DF280iX)

I have about 10 hrs on this generator and for the price am very happy with it. Works as it should, starts right up and is easy on LP fuel.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased the Wen 2800 watt dual fuel based strictly on specs as I wasn't able to find a single review here or anywhere else online about this particular model. I've now completed the 8-hour break-in period using propane only and so far it's been flawless. Starts up around the 3rd pull, runs smooth, all outlets and features work as expected, etc. Haven't yet exceeded a 50% load as required during the break-in, but no problems with output so far. Pleased with the noise level as well, it runs quieter than I had expected. So far so good! The only negative or drawback is that it's a bit bigger/bulkier and heavier than I imagined it'd be. 45 lbs isn't a lot for a gen, but living with a lower back injury a set of wheels and handle would've been appreciated to help move it around easier. Still for just over $400 it seems like a good deal for 2800 starting/2000 running watts on propane, which is a higher power output than most in its class. Overall happy with this purchase so far.

They pretty much use a shoestring for the pull cord that broke after about 20 poles and it's a bitch to get tIt changed

Heavier than I thought it would be. Weighs about the same as a 5 gallon jug of water. Seems well made and fired right up following the quick start instructions for propane. Haven’t tried gasoline yet. Features are well marked. Recoil cord pulls fairly easy. Pretty quiet but not noiseless. Much quieter than a full size gas generator. I ran it off a 20lb propane cylinder with the included regulator. After running about 45 minutes the cylinder seemed not to have lost much weight. Propane supplier says it can be attached to our 100lb tank with a gas grill set up for about $400.

For the first time I lost power at my home due to hurricane Milton. No power for several days. A whole house generator was out of my budget, so after a little research the need for a low wattage generator to run some of the basic items (refridgerator, fan, power for cell phones) this generator fit the bill. Although I purchased after the storm it'll come in handy when the need arises. The reasonable price, fast shipping was a plus. Hope to never have to use it, but good to know I have it.

After doing some research, I settled on this generator because it has everything that I wanted (runs on gasoline or propane, inverter/quiet, USB and 12 volt charging plugs, etc.) and because of the price. It did not come with an hour meter but I was able to add one for $10. I'm in the process of breaking in the generator now and will update my review with any issues if they come up. Very happy with my purchase.

Have about 60 hours on it. Not 1 problem. So far so good.

I received the generator with a lot of oil all over the outside of it (not quite as bad as the other reviewer had received). I tried to clean it up a bit and then tried using it for a while. The engine sputters a lot and never evens out. I’m going to return it and get a Honda like I should’ve done in the first place.
