Description

Remember when you had clean and quiet portable power? The WEN 3,800 Watt Inverter Generator produces clean energy free of voltage spikes and drops without making all of the noise of a regular generator. Generate up to 3800 surge watts and 3400 rated watts of power. Our 212cc 4-stroke air-cooled OHV engine operates at an extremely quiet 57 decibels at quarter load, about as quiet as a window air conditioner or the average conversation. This limits its invasiveness while hunting, camping, tailgating and restoring back-up power. The WEN 3800W Inverter Generator is also equipped with fuel shutoff. This feature turns off the flow of fuel, allowing 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 enough to run laptops, cellphones, monitors, tablets and other vulnerable electronics. The lightweight design along with the built-in wheels and folding handle make for easy portability while the ultra-efficient 2.2-gallon tank provides over 8.5 hours of half-load run time. Our fully- packed panel comes equipped with two 3-prong 120V standard household receptacles, one AC 120V 30A NEMA TT-30R receptacle, one 12V DC receptacle, two 5V USB ports and an easy-to-read digital fuel and load display. Maximize fuel economy by engaging the Eco-Mode switch. This feature allows the generator's engine to automatically adjust its fuel consumption as items are plugged into and unplugged from the panel, preventing the usage of unnecessary gasoline. The oil access cover makes for easy oil changes. Need more energy? Easily link up two WEN inverter generators using a WEN GNA50i 50-Amp 6000-Watt Parallel Connection Kit (sold separately) in order to share wattage between multiple units. Low-oil and low-fuel automatic shutdown, indication lights, and overload protection safeguard both your generator and your electronics from damage. The included spark arrestor allows for legal use in national parks and campgrounds. And because this is a WEN Product, your inverter generator comes backed by a 2-year warranty, a nationwide network of skilled service technicians and a friendly customer helpline. Remember when your generator powered your electronics safely and quietly? Remember WEN.

    • Great little unit
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. ... show more

    • Reliable beast during the Texas winter storm. Highly recommend!
Ok, so to preface this, I bought this generator last for Hurricane Season here in Houston, TX. Up until now I had not had a need for it but this week during the unusual winter storm in Texas that left us all without power, we were the lucky ones because of this generator. A few notes I'd like to share: 1. I had my fridge, gas furnace and blower, a couple TVs, internet, lights, etc. hooked up and even with the heat blowing the capacity never broke the 20% mark. Plenty of power for all of your needs during a winter event. I do not believe there is enough power in the 3800 Watt unit to power an AC system, but that was of no concern during this event. 2. It ran without issue for 30 hours straight and used just over 2 gallons of gas. With the low demand of my uses I kept it in eco mode the whole time. 3. It was barely audible on my back patio. Very quiet unit. 4. I left it outside before actually needing it for two days in 10-20 degree weather and it started right up. Needed to pull it because the battery was weak from the cold, but having both options is great. A couple thing to note: When it first arrived it would not start at all. The service and parts people were outstanding AND they were Americans who knew their stuff. He had my solution and emailed me repair procedures at my request because I have basic tool skills and was willing to make a quick fix. The spark plug cap broke during shipping, which is apparently more common than it should be, but they sent a replacement out right away and it arrived in just a few days. To be on the safe side I was able to buy one for $4 at a shop and put it on myself, which was easy. SO, if yours doesn't start out of the box, take off the side and check that. Easy fix. My conclusion: started, worked perfectly for a couple days, sips gas, is quiet, and customer service is outstanding. What's not to love? I'm going to be adding their bigger model as well to run my A/C during Houston heat outages, but I'll be sticking with WEN. One other note: I highly recommend, if you're using this for your home, buying a generator transfer switch for your house so you can just plug it in directly to the box and run pre-selected parts of your home. Have a licensed professional do the work. ... show more

    • Get the Protection Plan, but awesome generator!
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. ... show more
