WEN I believe is Taiwan, the real traditional Chinese. Not commie xi.
These are tested and have done well in hurricane areas. A friend of mine ran a 2250 watt version of this generator for his fridge and freezer. Ran like a charm.

Saw this earlier from their email and was going to post it, but you beat me to it.

Excellent price for a excellent inverter generator. I got mine for $580 about a year ago and I thought that was a steal.

Would kill for a 240v capable version. Those are usually much more. This can run basically a whole house for the 120v side though, great deal.

The igen4500 or igen4500c could return briefly at a similar price. It has a 224 cc engine vs Wen's 212.cc. 18 hour run time on 3.4 gal 25% load (0.19 gph) vs Wen's 2.2 gal tank. Remote wireless control. 3700 watts running 4500 w surge claimed per specs.24.5L x 17.5W x 20H in.. 104 lbs. I would love to do a side by side comparison.

Every application is different but I have found that 240V only needs to be available long enough to heat water and pump it from the well.

A 2200 running watt inverter takes care of standby for electronics, refrigeration, furnace fan and the rest while saving quite a bit of fuel.

A good 6k running watt conventional like Briggs and Straton will have a 389 cc engine which doesn't bog down when starting compressors and motors and the output is clean enough for electronics. Economy 240V conventionals like Westinghouse 5300 274 cc have significantly smaller engines and wide voltage fluctuation which won't harm a water heater but will shorten the life of tools and compressors if used long enough. The smaller engine does give better fuel economy though, 0.42 gph 50% loaded, 0.32 gph 25% loaded per punlished specs.

2000 isn't enough juice. You have to get two of them wired in parallel. Some people go that route because lifting two of those is easier than one of the 3500 units.

Neither. The igen2500 is often cited on RV forums as an economy generator that can start 15k btu roof air units. It was $400 earlier this year. The Honda Handi is my first choice for excellent build quality and reliability but its price rose from $1500 to $2500 in the past year. Many like to parallel two of the 1800 watt economy inverters. Fuel consumption rate is often a consideration. For continuous operation in high ambient temperature or at elevation your load should not exceed 50% of the generator's rated running watt capacity.

Japanese Honda is not in your affordability. Unfortunately.
