WEN Super Quiet 2350-Watt Portable Inverter Generator with Fuel Shut Off, Ultra Lightweight (56235i)

very quiet compared to the predator. awesome generator, would recommend.

Starts easy, runs great, a little noisier than I thought

I was pleased with the look and workmanship. I filled with oil and used the magnetic oil dip stick and ran for 15 min. Put a load on it, and drained oil, put new oil back in crankcase, was a little metal filings hardly any also before I done all of the prestart I removed the spark plug and put luboil in cylinder and rotated engine to cover cylinder wall, and pulling on starter rope to coat cylinder wall. Put sparkplug back in and started engine. Smoked on startup to burn luboil out of cylinder, then run smooth and quiet.

After prepping the generator with oil and gas, I followed the starting instructions and it cranked right up on the second pull. Motor runs smoothly and doesn't smoke. I spent about an hour testing it. My meter showed that it was producing a consisting 121-122 volts AC. I ran it on normal and econ mode. Econ mode is much quieter and can be used all the time unless you have loads over 1000 watts. I tested various tools, the refrigerator, a chest freezer, and the microwave (not all at the same time). All ran fine. So far, I'm very pleased with this generator.

Received my 2350 watt inverter generator in 3 days. Filled with oil and gasoline, followed the recommended startup procedures and it started on the second pull. Ran it for a couple of hours without any load for the recommended break-in process. After that, I changed the oil and filled it with synthetics. Tried to see how it runs under load so I ran a variety of equipment. A 120v hand drill ran fine in ECO mode. I tried my 1000/1800 watt heat gun and it ran fine in ECO mode on the low setting. On the high setting it ran for a few seconds in ECO mode then, the RPM picked up automatically at the 1800 watt load. It maintained that load for quite a while until my test was over. Very satisfied with the purchase. After the test I took off the side panel and used the installed drain tube to drain all fuels from the fuel tank and from the carburetor. Really nice feature as leaving fuel in the system will cause issues with time. The only thing I would improve is the fastening of the side panel. It is very easy to cross thread the 4 fastening screws so, doing it slow and carefully is the key. There is also a control switch position, when selected will shut the fuel flow off until the machine runs out of fuel. That is nice as it leaves the carburetor gasoline-free but, the tank would still have fuel in it. With my last generator it was the tank rubber seal gasket that fell apart due to leaving fuel there for extended periods of time. So, unless the generator is frequently used, best practice is to drain the fuel from the tank and the carburetor.

This is the first generator I have ever owned. I bought it for our RV. It is very quiet on eco mode. And still pretty quiet when under a full load. It usually starts with just 2 pulls and runs very smoothly. The " gas off" feature is great for clearing the carburetor after use. If it has a long span of service, which if well cared for I imagine it will, then I highly recommend this product!!

Great product, it does what It supposed to, I been using it for my camper trailer is a 27 ft with a 13,500 btu a/c unit and it runs it with no problems, I am no expert on electronics but this generator can do the job for all those appliances in your camper for sure.

Great product for the price! I've been running it 24/7 for a week now it's awesome! Read the instructions! I overfilled the oil so it smoked and didn't open the gas air valve in the cap so it killed every few minutes. Once I realized it was user error / laziness on my part for not reading the instructions I fixed my mess ups and it's running like a champ! Best deal on a generator out there! It's quiet but does get a little loud under a heavy load. I keep it on eco so it does fluctuate. It burns a little more gas than the Honda but it's $1,000 cheaper. I would recommend this generator to my friends.

Only tested and haven't thoroughly used. Added oil as required, added gas, and it started on first pull. Was able to run my camper's 13,500 BTU AC as needed. I did need to turn ECO mode off for it to run the AC due to the surge at power on, but it had no issue. Even worked while having the fridge running as well. Very pleased. Light, quiet, and easy to operate for a good price.

I haven't needed to use the generator for its intended purpose yet (emergency power during outages) but for its price point it's just what I wanted.... an economical solution (small gasoline displacement and variable engine speed due to it being an inverter based generator) that is small and light and quiet. I don't like how often it needs its oil changed (every 20-25 hours run time) and I wish it had a built-in hour meter (but after market hour meters are cheap and easy to install) and I wish that it was easier to drain the fuel and oil between use. But... it runs, it provides almost 16 amps (enough to run a small window a/c and my refrigerator) and it's cheap.
