WEN Gen on sale

doesn't seem like alot of interest, but i made a video anyway

Clicky

Generator arrived.

Very Impressed more so then i thought i would be, very high quality, ran everything i threw at it(air compressor, 2HP abrasive saw,1500 watt heater and shockingly all on eco mode), sinewave is pretty much perfect even at max load, and frequency and voltage are dead on. i did not have my db meter with me though, i will have it in a couple days if anyone actually wants the numbers

impressive overload, probably a good 5 seconds in overload before it kicked the power off(nice compared to my big generator which just goes to 50 hz and 100 volts when overloaded)

already gave it a oil change at 2 hours and it was quite shiny in the oil

only con, you need to remove 3 normal philips screws to check the oil, annoying will prolly replace with wingnuts, and none of the outlets have any form of dust covers or water shields

moved from technology

When reading about this generator, it says its quiet, 51 db which is great if true, the honda 1000 states 59db. So who has one and is it that quiet???? have you had any problems with it?

I'm guessing the Honda measurement is no load, eco switch off. The WEN measured no load, eco switch on.... or they measured from a different distance, or just lied about the number.

Appears to be using a Yamaha motor, which is a bit quieter than the Honda.

one reviewer is claiming 61db, i have a meter i can check it out, but if its even close to the honda, its fine for me

i have no trouble sleeping through my 7k predator generator, so this is miles above that
