Selected User Reviews For WEN 56380i Super Quiet 3800-Watt Portable Inverter Generator with Fuel Shut-Off and Electric Start

Your generator should be run every 21 to 25 days, and you should keep it inside of It is important to take care of such a small battery during cold weather
5/5

To recharge the internal battery, let the device run for 30 to 45 minutes. In the event that you do not want to run the generator, you could buy a trickle charger for a small motorcycle battery. make creative use of your shop vac or air compressor while hooked up to your generator. You can even use your shop vac to clean the interior while you have the generator running!.

I am extremely satisfied with the service, it exceeded my expectations
5/5

If you are looking for the bottom line, here it is In terms of this generator, I am extremely pleased. Despite having to go for days without power, it is powerful enough to keep my family of 6, with 4 tech-dependent children, relatively calm and comfortable. Besides, living in a residential area with neighbors very close by makes running through the night a reasonable option in terms of noise level. An air conditioner is not something I would attempt to power. There are four power outputs 5. 0 out of 5 stars for noise 5. 0 out of 5 stars for portability The ease of use is four out of five Easy to maintain and take care of 5/5 The overall look is a 5/5 I give this a 5/5. There are only 2 cons I can think of Please note - The heavy pack weighs a lot It is easy for me to lift and load into my SUV, but it is not easy to carry for very long distances. While it does have wheels and a handle to make it easier to roll around, it does not have any handles. Please note - After approximately a day and a half of use, a VERY small amount of oil began leaking from the tube that drains oil. If you check the dipstick, there is no noticeable amount. - Detailed review with details is essential to making a good purchase decision (like I did). This is what you need to know. A little background The 17th). Living in a townhouse in a stereotypical neighborhood for upper middle class families is quite annoying. We have four children who are very tech-savvy and internet-dependent they mostly use streaming services, social networks, and gaming apps. In the aftermath of a bad thunderstorm with lots of downed trees (and wires) in the area, I was without power for five days and was forced to purchase this generator. My uncle kindly let me borrow his 3400 watt portable generator for the last few days as I didn't have one at the time. An open-cage generator of the type found in camping areas was cheap, typical, and in common use. Many neighbors looked at me with mean looks and made nasty comments while I was playing loud music. We were also not able to use it for electronics since it produced "dirty" power. So we were only able to use it for the freezers and fridges. A notable lack of information was also evident, such as power consumption, fuel level, etc. Afterwards, I did a bunch of research and found this Wen generator to be the best for me. A storm knocked out power for three days in July 2020, the first full time I was able to use it when I bought it in mid May 2020. Not a lot of use for the generator This has been going on without issue for three days. In a nutshell In addition, this produces power that is "clean" and suitable for a number of purposes, from powering electronics to simply running the house. Even after using this generator for a while, I never used more than 50% of its Most of the time I use less than 25%, depending on whether or not the freezer or fridge compressors are on. As a result, I was able to power (at least) the following I have two deep chest freezers, a refrigerator and freezer combination, sump pump, dehumidifier, cable modem, three routers, several laptops, a 24" monitor, eight large fans, six lamps, and as many as ten phones and tablets. In addition to that, I was also able to run a 65" television without issue, but left that off for reasons of prudence. Despite its size, this computer packs a lot of punch. Noise This is a big one that is alarming to everyone. To be honest, I was surprised and pleased at how quietly this works. To clarify, this is not a silent operation! Generators are used in this project. You're kidding yourself if you think there will be no noise, or something similar to a small fan. I do, however, find that in general, it produces slightly less noise than a typical outdoor central air unit when I walk around my neighborhood in the evenings (which I do regularly, power or no power). Having a conversation directly next to it will not cause you to yell. Despite standing 15+ feet away, it is a background noise and is not annoying in any way. I was standing about 10 feet away, and I could hear my neighbor's generator (about 100 feet away) over the noise of mine. On one occasion, I thought it had shut off for some reason when returning from a walk since I couldn't hear it until I was quite close to the area. As long as this lasted all night, I did not have any reservations with regards to noise level. The fuel consumed by a car is as follows Although I did not expect it to be so small when I bought it, it is quite small. It has turned out not to be a problem. During my first week, I refuelled every 12 hours without ever running out of fuel. According to my expectations, it should last about 14 minutes (with the load I outlined above) A full tank of gas will last approximately 15 hours. The 5 gallon gas can will serve as a good filler for two vehicle fillings (plus some

Look and Feel A generator like this looks gorgeous (in the grand scheme of things). It has a very clean, modern look, especially in comparison to its I have had no problems with it thus far and I am satisfied with its build and design. The piece feels very solid, sturdy, and solidly constructed. In addition, it has an LED bar display showing both fuel level and power consumption at intervals of 25%. The display does not display exact values, but is helpful nonetheless as it provides more than many other displays. This sentence starts As this generator contains a battery, it will start electronically by simply turning the dial after the first start (once there is power in the battery). The pull cord starts the machine very easily on its first pull, requiring very little effort or energy to use. Unlike starting a lawnmower or weed wacker that requires a powerful pull, starting an air compressor is a much slower, gentler process.

Care and Maintenance I was quite pleasantly surprised in this area. There's no doubt that this generator was designed to be easy to maintain. Compared to other generators I have interacted with, I found this one to be exceptional. To ensure a generator's optimal performance, it is advisable to drain the gasoline from it when you are finished using it, and when it is time to store it longer term. In order to demonstrate how easy this process is, I've taken screenshots of me doing it. Two screws must be removed in order to remove the side panel. Make sure you pull the pre-flight Attached the tube to the side and directed it towards the One screw must be loosened and the drain allowed to run. Once the drain is completely filled, turn the dial back to "run". I believe that's all there is to I have not seen anything special about the oil dipstick, but it is no different than the rest that I have used. It is also important to note that there is an easy drainage tube for the oil, should it become necessary to change the oil. It is also easy to change a spark plug. Also worth noting is that I purchased an RV cord (pictured) that converts into a 3-metre version 3 way standard plug with 3 prongs. The other thing I did was to purchase several long 12 gauge three-way extension cords to plug into that RV cord. That is how I connected everything together. Overall, I strongly recommend this generator to anyone, including my own family (which is what I did already). Personally, if I had to buy another one because of some circumstance, I would definitely do it. Thank you for reading. I hope you find this information useful.

The power is quiet and quiet
4/5

Despite its size, it is easy to start and has plenty of power. Quite a bit of silence as well! It can run two freezers and two refrigerators and doesn't even grunt at all. As residents of California, we have peace of mind since we have blackouts every once in a while due to fires. Reviewing is not my typical endeavor, but I did a lot of research to find this and thought someone else may benefit from it.

It's the best deal you'll find anywhere for an I live in a rural area of Pennyslvania Due to the fact that a generator is now a good thing to have in the event of an emergency, a generator is now a must-have
3/5

Having been on the lookout for a 4000-volt for quite a while, In search of a peak watt generator, I came across this fantastic deal right away and purchased it. ABOUT GENERATOR NOOS Here's one tip for wannabes Be sure to read the manual and follow the proper startup, maintenance, In the future, you will have issues if you do not. You will find starting and shutting down to be a breeze once you understand these tips. thing I particularly like is that it comes with a spark plug socket, a wrench, a funnel, and a high-elevation carb kit. Their products are used properly to get maximum value from them, so it is easy to tell that they spent time ensuring people did that. My experience with it is limited to a couple of things, but I think it would work in an actual power outage. All of a sudden, I hooked up a chest freezer, a window air conditioner, and our gas furnace. A total lack of bog down was observed. In a pinch, I think this will work just fine. In order to distribute the amps being pulled from the RV adapter, I recommend getting one with a split so you have more plugs available. A lot of them add up very Having this on your shoulders is a heavy load. The frame is light and portable, so it can be carried by hand for short distances. The compact size makes it easy for hand trucks as well. There are a couple issues with it it is heavy enough that my wife would not be able to carry it, and if it's hot you probably wouldn't want to move it for a while.

Cons As advertised, I didn't find this to be quite as quiet. Using the Eco mode makes it a bit quieter, but with a high amount of power running it is nearly the same as a conventional Also, I wish the fuel tank were a little larger in order to be able to go 10 hours on a single tank. Though, I've seen people get more than 7 hours, so it'll be interesting to see how it goes. It does make it lighter, however, since the tank is smaller. The conclusion is It is not as nice as a Honda generator, which would cost in the neighborhood of four times what this one does. Honda is the way to go, if that is what you expect. If you know what you want, you will get it. The car does seem to be well built, and it seem it will take good care of you if you take care of it. I think it's one of the best values for an inverter generator I've ever seen! You shouldn't hesitate to buy it and if you hate it, you can empty your savings account on a Honda so you can show it off to your buddies.
