No CO2 sensor. Good and bad.
Built in runtime meter is nice!
There is a fuel gauge on top. I'm not sure what kind of gauge it is. It might just be visual.
The fuel cutoff and then manual off switch is great. You don't need to empty the tank and run it dry.
Wish it had a real DC port instead of built-in USB. I don't know why they do this. It's cheaper for them and you get many options including boring USB if you want it. Adapters are cheap.
No quick remove panel for oil changes is a bummer.
I googled. This is not for sale anywhere else. This is either a new model or something specific.
It's low-end but good for the price and I like the Wen brand overall.
This thing is only 37.5 pounds. For example, the Westinghouse iGen 2200c is 47.4 pounds. The WEN 56225i is 49 pounds. The Honda 2200 is 48 pounds. Similar models are similar weights. The missing weight almost certainly comes from the heavy parts. Maybe they just learned to be more efficient with a new design, but the missing 10 pounds is notable.
The manual is good. Read it for details.
Good buy if you don't already have a generator.
If I didn't already own one like this, I would buy it. I got in on that $205 Amazon Westinghouse iGen2200c deal last year.

The fuel gauge on these is great. Being able to turn the fuel line off and let it run dry is huge. I can't recommend this brand enough.

Edit: surprisingly loud at 65DB at quarter load. That's as loud as some open frame units that push 8000 watts.
