WEN 3100 watt inverter generator

I did have a Wen soldering gun. Heathkit radios and a home-made fuzz tone.

honda listed at 49 to 58 where the 58 is probably going full tilt.

I guess i should delete everything and bail out of here haha... My Honda 2KW EU2000i I purchased in 2008 from a company called MAYBERRY is still working just fine...

Me sorry guys...

57db.. no, that doesn't mean a thing out of context. From how many feet? 100?

I agree Mr 2oldman... As usual these companies don't like to list their total specs and that usually means they are going to be louder haha...

Pretty good price however and I think it is worth checking out... Got my attention at least...

Thinking back over the many long years ago the only WEN product I can remember having was an Electric Soldering Gun haha... Now that should take you back to the 50s...

As usual it was hard to find a noise spec...

This is what I ended up finding.... Maybe I have the wrong WEN Generator here...

If that generator is the "same" as a Honda 3000, well, I'll be a monkey's uncle. Let's check youtube...nope, nothing.

The few reviews that I have found are on Amazon and mixed in with reviews of the Wen 2000 watt gen. It seems like the reviews for the 3100 only go back to late fall 2016, so it is relatively new. A search on RV.net only shows references to the Wen 2000. It looks like the company is based in Illinois and has been around since 1951. Four places within 10 miles of me perform warranty service on them. I may have to try one and do a detailed review!
