The quality of this generator... also shocking. For the price of it, compared to other brands, I was expecting loose bolts, cheesy brackets, etc etc. It is actually very well built. It's heavy, strong, it doesn't rattle at all. Very tight. I'm confident this unit will last a long time. My favorite part, because I'm a mechanic, is the easy access to the engine parts that will need regular service. Everything was placed in the perfect spot to be worked on without foul language and throwing tools involved.
I had my wife and children start it up and get it ready as if a power outage occurred. Using it is a breeze. Everything is labelled clearly, easily accessible, and it all works as it should.
The only things you need to assemble is the wheels and handles. Super simple to do. Very clear instructions. The Generator is heavy, without wheels, you better drink some milk if you're gonna move it. Once the wheels and handles are on it, it so easy to roll around, you forget how heavy it really is. My 90lb daughter has no problem moving it around on it's wheels.
I'm very pleased with this generator. I highly recommend this model and brand. You're getting a great product without a huge price tag.
UPDATE. It's now 5/18/2022. Had to use the generator to power my house due to a power outage for a few days. It hadn't been started in about 2-3 months. Bumped the key, started right up. I've had it running on gas and it's used an average of 1 tank per 10-11 hours. Hasn't burned any oil. Level perfect every time. Doesn't overheat, runs real smooth. I shut it off every other time I added gas. Starts right back up and goes to work. I use only Non-Ethanol gas to protect the carb. Regular gas will gum up and clog jets when it sits. I also use Synthetic oil, (Royal Purple) in the engine. I purchased the WEN cover for it and the Generator looks brand new, even after sitting outside for over a year.
And yet another update 11/21/2022
So the generator has been running for 300+hrs straight, powering my house. Day 12, Battery died. Generator shut down because without battery power, the solenoid in the carb closes when it loses 12v power from the battery. Not a big deal, jump started it off my lawn tractor, started right up and gave me time to go get a new battery. I plugged a charger into the generator to keep the battery charged while I went and bought a new battery.
It flashes code P50 when you need to change the oil. Do that, don't ignore it. (takes about 3 min)
It flashes P100 when you need to do a more extensive service. Do that also, don't ignore it. (takes 10 min)
This Generator is screaming 23/7 days a week now. It's a beast. It's doing it's job very well in my opinion. Still solid, no rattles, nothing coming loose, and producing power like it has since day one.
Fuel consumption - About 10-11hrs on a tank.
I changed to an NGK BPR7ES plug and run 89 octane gas, Royal Purple Full Synthetic Oil, and It's a solid 12-14hrs per tank of gas.
I hope all this actually helps someone.
I was able to run a sawzaw, grinder, skilsaw and15,000BTU AC unit all at the same time with no bogging of the motor, could have easily handled more load.
Assembly was relatively straightforward and the instructions were clear.
This thing is pretty heavy but once you get the wheels installed, it is relatively easy to move around.
As with any generator, it is loud, but not as loud as other generators I have used.
For the price, this thing can't be beat.
This Wen DF-1100 was delivered by ABF trucking. They communicated well about schedule/time, the machine was in it's factory box and strapped securely to a pallet in an enclosed semi trailer. Not a dent/tear/mark on the box so hats off to ABF trucking-great job. Finally got the box out of my van today and assembled the unit which consisted of attaching the wheels, handles, pads, adding oil, connecting positive cable to battery, removing the 2 shipping bars, connecting the propane regulator line and the propane tank. Very easy setup. The battery seemed fully charged and within a few spins the engine was purring nicely. I ran it for about 5 minutes and then connected my pool pump to it and let it run about 20 minutes. Everything checked out fine and the meter/monitor functions as it should. The unit is fairly loud but not dramatically louder than any other I've heard. It seemed to me it was actually a bit quieter than expected. I'll be building a dedicated enclosure for this unit near my power pole and that will make a huge difference on the noise level.
I haven't put gasoline in the tank yet and have only run it once on propane. The dual fuel aspect of this genny is great. I have a 1000 gal in ground propane tank and I'm considering running a permanent line to it once I have an enclosure built. It is more expensive to run it on propane but for longevity, the propane burns much cleaner and the engine will have an extended life versus gasoline. I plan to
get a magnetic oil dipstick for it to help keep the oil clean as there is no oil filter. Oil changes look like an easy affair and at 1 quart, I plan to change it frequently. I will add an inline fuel filter before I try it in gas mode. I like that it has an on/off gas petcock as I always run the carb dry when shutting down. This is key and here's an example of why. I have a gas powered pressure washer with a small Honda engine. I always add fuel stabilizers to the gas on all my small engine stuff, mowers, p washers, generators etc. as sometimes a good deal of time goes by between usages. The last time I used the washer was almost 2 years ago. I turned off gas petcock at last use and it ran until all the gas was burned. I just used it and it started on the 2nd pull after 2 years. No gunked up carb because all the gas was burned out of it and the gas in the tank was still fine.
So far, this genny seems like great value but only time will tell regarding longevity. The owners manual is pretty good. There is an exploded view of the engine and the generator with a complete list of ALL parts with part numbers. There is also a complete wiring diagram of the electrical components. I just spent an hour looking up parts on the Wen website. Every item I clicked on was readily available. I plan on assembling a good selection of replacement parts as I will have this unit for years and it seems everything can be repaired with current parts availability should the need arise. I think this is a good strategy for anyone purchasing a generator for the long haul. Based on my initial unpacking and test, I would not hesitate to recommend this unit. I will do some follow up reviews on this unit as time passes and usage goes up.
