Description

Remember when you had clean and quiet portable power? The WEN 2,350-Watt Inverter Generator provides clean energy, free of voltage spikes and drops, without all the noise of a regular generator. Produce up to 2350 surge watts and 1900 rated watts of power. Our 79cc 4-stroke OHV engine operates at an extremely quiet 51 decibels at quarter load, quieter than a window air conditioner or the average conversation. This limits its invasiveness while camping, hunting, tailgating, and restoring backup power. The WEN 2350W Inverter Generator is also equipped with fuel shutoff. This feature turns off the flow of fuel, allowing for the generator to use up the remaining fuel from the carburetor before automatically shutting down. This helps fight the build- up and blockages caused by stagnant fuel inside of the carburetor, minimizing maintenance while prolonging the unit’s lifespan. Designed to mirror a pure sine wave, this generator limits total harmonic distortion to under 0.3 percent at no load and under 1.2 percent at full load, making it safe to run laptops, cellphones, monitors, tablets and other sensitive electronics. The lightweight 39-pound design makes for easy portability while the ultra- efficient one-gallon tank provides over 5.7 hours of half-load run time. The fully-packed panel comes equipped with two three-prong 120V 14A NEMA 5-20R receptacles, one 12V 8.3A DC receptacle and two 5V USB ports. Maximize fuel economy by engaging the eco-mode switch. This allows the generator's engine to automatically adjust its fuel consumption as items are plugged into and unplugged from the panel, preventing the unnecessary usage of gasoline. Need more energy? Easily link up any two WEN inverter generators using a WEN Parallel Connection Kit (sold separately) in order to share wattage amongst multiple units. Low-oil and low-fuel automatic shutdown combine with the built-in overload protection and indicator lights to safeguard both your generator and your electronics from damage. Backed by a two-year warranty.

    • Good generator for the money
Style: 2350W Inverter
As a Florida resident and new home owner, I wanted to make sure that I had a generator that would be able to keep me going after a bad storm and while I was the proud owner of an old, loud open frame generator (we all know the kind) I was not a fan of the aircraft level of noise it made or the drag car level of fuel it drank just to run a few appliances. Thus the search began for a generator capable of running the few things that you actually need after a major storm and doing so with a level of efficiency that negates the need to keep 50 gallons of volatile gasoline laying around the house and while it's no Honda, it seems to work just as well. First off, this thing is quiet. It's not totally silent don't get me wrong, but I could easily mistake it for a idling push mower when it is running on eco mode and no louder than a small lawnmower when it is running full tilt. I have my generator hookup installed on the back porch and when running at full throttle, it is no more than a faint background noise when the doors are closed which is a HUGE improvement over the construction site level of noise the old generator produced when running. Power output is right around what it is rated for with one caveat to be mentioned. I noticed reviews were a bit mixed on this and I don't know if it's due to fluctuations in build quality or something as simple as altitude (I am at sea level) but after doing some testing recently I was able to get it to sustain around ~1850w of power output (tested with a watt meter) before the overload light would come on. That said, this little guy was working pretty hard to keep that up and I think this is where the only down side of this generator over the Honda really shows. While they are rated similar, the Honda has a much bigger engine inside it for the same power output ratings and one thing I observed with this generator is that it struggles with starting power for some appliances and devices that should be within the range of rated starting watts for this generator. I would be aware of that if you are going to use this to run multiple devices with high starting demands like a refrigerator, freezer, or air conditioner. It will do it, but I have to start the big devices first to ensure that they have enough starting power to get going. Gas consumption is something that I haven't really gotten a good grasp on even though I have about 15 hours on the generator as I use it for electric lawn equipment mainly and I have never filled it all the way up with gasoline. It seems to be pretty efficient but I will update this when I have the misfortune of needing to use it in a storm as I can get a good read on how long it will run on a gallon of gas when it is powering the house for an extended period of time. Build quality seems pretty good. No blemishes or issues that I have found. I did install an hour meter which was easy to do (and pretty cheap) so as to better track when maintenance needs to be done. Honestly, I wish it came with an hour meter built in but for the price vs the Honda it's not a big deal. Overall the generator has been reliable. Always starts on the first or second pull and I only had one issue with it suddenly not running but that was due to the low oil shutdown as I had it on the gentlest of slopes in the yard and I guess that was enough to shut it down so do keep that in mind. Needs to be perfectly level. My use case for this generator in a storm is to feed my main panel so I can run lights, fans, ONE inverter window AC unit (8000 btu), one full size refrigerator and one chest freezer. It seems to do this without issue. I originally was running a regular window ac unit but the compressor kicking on was a little too much if the refrigerator and freezer were both running. I did end up putting a NGK spark plug in as another commenter suggested. I didn't notice a difference but I'm 100% sure it's better than the cheap Chinese plug that comes preinstalled. I also installed the magnetic dipstick which I would consider necessary in a tiny little engine like this. There is so little oil in there you really want to make sure that the metal debris doesn't keep circulating back around and causing more damage. So if you are in the market for a small inverter generator that doesn't cost an arm and a leg this might be worth the buy. I would definitely recommend testing it hard and thoroughly after getting it to ensure that you got a good unit during the return window. Final word from someone with experience, DO NOT leave gas in the tank (especially regular ethanol blend) or the carb for any extended period. If you are going to use it every other week like me than fill it up with ethanol free gas and run the carb dry when you are done with it. If you are running it after a storm for days at a time, regular gas is fine just be sure when you are done you run it dry before storing it again. It only takes one round with old gas to ruin the carbs in these little motors leaving you with no generator when you need it most. ... show more

    • super quiet; struggled under large load
Style: 2500W + Dual Fuel
pros: This thing saved us when the Eco Flow battery got sucked up by the portable induction cooktops and the solar panels sucked when it was cloudy. The good news is that this thing, which I ran off propane only to not leave any gas in the tank, is super super quiet. I think it is rated at 52 decibels. I dont think it was that quiet right next to it…my watch read like 56 or something. But only like a stones throw…50 feet away from camp and it is almost not even noticeable. I hate it when people run generators in camp and this thing with the exhaust pointed away from camp was so quiet you almost couldn't hear it so it was easy to be ok with running it when needed to recharge batteries. The sound really drops off even 10 feet away. Kind of impressive! It started easily and every time so far. It did struggle when hooked up to a Delta 2 by EcoFlow that was trying to pull max loads out of it: It was fine hooked up to the battery and recharged it in the same time it would take a home AC outlet: about an hour. When the Eco flow was hooked up to recharge while being used…the generator would struggle and I think the ecoflow cut power. I unplugged the induction stovetops and plugged those directly into generator and they worked fine. The eco flow itself worked fine. But the eco flow hooked into the generator while being used to power the induction burners was an issue. In case that helps someone. An easy buy though. Works as well as the Honda Im sure and is as quiet if not quieter. Love that it uses propane so I dont have to worry about gas going bad in it. ... show more

    • Simplicity in a crisis
Style: 2350W Inverter
I live in a hurricane zone, in an old neighborhood where live oaks grow like weeds, which creates far too many opportunities for power outages. A generator is a necessity. I wanted one with enough power to run my refrigerator and my microwave (though not at the same time). I didn't want to pay for bells and whistles like a battery starter. And I definitely didn't want electronics nor Bluetooth connections. To me, those are just one more thing to go wrong during a crisis when you can't afford to have anything else go wrong. In a crisis, you want simplicity. I wanted an old-fashioned, pull-start, medium-powered generator, with as few glitzy features as possible. But I did want inverter technology to protect my electronics. This little generator fits the bill perfectly. It started right out of the box. It runs smoothly and is amazingly quiet, even when running with a full load. I ran it every day for one hour to break it in. After 8 hours, I changed the oil and tested it with an appliance that pulls 1800 volts. Not a problem. I ran it in eco-mode while pulling smaller loads with smaller appliances. It responded nicely. I used its USB ports to charge my cell phone, laptop, and tablet. I am truly grateful to Wen for creating an uncomplicated, easy to operate, reliable generator to make life during a crisis as simple as it can be. ... show more
