I currently have the WEN 56380i and have been on the lookout for a deal on a 2000 series WEN generator and this popped up. Ordered it yesterday and It just shipped out today
Great price as others are selling it for way more: Amazon & Walmart $492, HD $524
Has the fuel shut off feature which is great.
Specs:
- EPA III and CARB-Compliant 79.7cc 4-Stroke OHV engine produces 2250 surge watts and 1800 rated watts
- Extremely quiet 53 dB operation comparable to the sound of a normal conversation according to the US Department of Health and Human Services
- Fuel shutoff maximizes the generator's lifespan by using up the remaining fuel in the carburetor before shutting down
- Produces clean power to safely operate sensitive electronics such as smartphones, tablets, televisions and computers
- Includes two three-prong 15A 120V receptacles, two 5V USB ports, an oil access panel, and a two-year warranty
Free shipping and no tax for me. $385 out the door.
Not sure how long this deal will last.

Right from the CDC:
Never run your car or truck inside a garage that is attached to a house even with the garage door open. Always open the door to a detached garage to let in fresh air when you run a car or truck inside.
Never use a generator inside your home, basement, or garage or less than 20 feet from any window, door, or vent.

Listen here you little…
Probably will, I purchased a TackLife 2000 watt inverter generator for my Teardrop 5k btu Air conditioner. Anything smaller won't be ideal.
Will this generator that produces up to 2250 surge watts and 1800 rated watts of power can power this fridge? I don't know how to evaluate.

W = 115 x 5.2
W = 600 watts
So only 600 watts to power it but I'm not familiar with refrigerators and how large their surges are.

I already received this one [amazon.com].
Have this one ordered [amazon.com].
And I'm considering this one [amazon.com] over the one this thread is about.
I really only need to power fridge/freezer, some lights and fans. Yea central AC and all that would be nice, but I live in town, and I don't think that first one is going to be quiet enough to run all night.
Having to refill a small one constantly would be super annoying too.
Ultimately I want something to
- run a few basic things
- not damage my stuff (computers will be on UPS)
- not be super loud
- not need to be filled up in the middle of the night
- not cost more than $600 max
I still don't even know if all the WEN have automatic shutoff, or if the full size (5000w), non-inverter models just run at full bore all the time? All this stuff is extremely unclear.First time I started this one up it did sputter and was revving up and down for the first 5 minutes. Then it settled down and was fairly smooth.
