WEN 56203i Super Quiet 2000-Watt Portable Inverter Generator w/Fuel Shut Off, CARB Compliant, Ultra Lightweight, Black/Orange

Prende pero no genera energía,el vendedor me da indicaciones de manejo pero aún así no funciona

I bought this to power a remote woods camp/office 3 hours from pavement. Needed clean power for computer, phone, satellite internet, tool battery chargers, small microwave, etc. I was hesitant to buy the least expensive unit on Amazon, but it was that or nothing. Turned out to be an excellent product . . . even better considering the price. I ran this out about 75' on a heavy gauge extension cord and got 120-121V at the cabin, can't hear it at all during the winter and barely in the summer with all the windows open. I have about 200 hours or so on it, changed the oil 3 times so far. It starts right up, even after sitting empty in the barn for a couple of weeks at a time during winter. Runs smooth, never sputtered or quit except for a couple of times when I forgot to open the vent on the gas cap. With normal power draw, this thing runs for 14-16 hours on a gallon of gas and I normally keep it going for days at a time uncovered in rain/snow/wind/sleet. I'm switching over to a small solar setup but will continue to use this to charge batteries when the sun isn't out and for additional power needs. Big plus is the switch to be able to run the carb dry for storage. Relatively light weight, and has all the outlets/connections you need for a unit like this. Haven't used some additional features but appreciate they're there, like the ability to run 2 units in parallel and connect a ground rod. 5 stars. Update: I thought I had this unit long enough for a complete review, then it hit -11degF. Between that and maybe a few degrees above zero, it still starts fine (a few extra pulls maybe) but I think the carb ices up after it has run for a few minutes. Especially on Eco mode. I built a small enclosure out of some spare 2" rigid foam insulation and that solved the problem. There's probably a slicker way to route intake air over the engine but that will have to wait until it's a little more comfy outside. Maybe worth knocking of a quarter of a star, but without that option I'll stick with 5 stars.

We love how quiet and how easy this generator is to operate

I opened the box and followed the directions. I did use the supplied oil for the initial fill. I was not going hunting for ethanol-free gas (10% is standard in my area). I did add fuel additives to the mix to counteract the ethanol. Pulled the start a few times and it fired right up and I turned off the choke after a couple of seconds. It was running and quiet. A little bit of blue smoke on start-up but that is normal. Ran great w/no load. I let it idle a few minutes and inspected for leaks. It looks good. I found a heat gun that put it under load (1400 watts) and plugged it in and turned it on. The generator ramped up its effort (can hear the load change). I let it work with that and continued to monitor. I let it run for about 45-60 minutes with the 1400 watt load. I turned off the load (1400 watt heat gun) and the generator on ECO mode idled down. I let it run for another 5 minutes before I shut it off. I did not use the fuel cut-off, just straight to off. I drained and inspected the oil.... nothing abnormal. I replaced the oil with high-quality full synthetic with the proper viscosity. I can tell you that you should be on a flat surface and have a piece of cardboard under it and some paper towels handy as it can get messy. I also had some brake parts cleaner available for any mess I might make during the oil change. Oil change completed. I fired it back up (started on the first pull). I then did the same thing I did on the first go-around. No leaks, no funny sounds, works great. This time I shut it down with the fuel cut-off (takes a couple of minutes before it dies). I cleaned up my mess, topped off the fuel, and stashed the generator away in my garage knowing it would be ready if I needed it. The whole process took a couple of hrs including cleaning up my mess. This was back in April 2020. On Feb 6 2021 we had a storm roll through with 70mph gusts and the power went out about 1:30 pm. Normally the power does not stay out for long but I'm thinking there are not too many line workers that are going to be able to get much done during the storm. I pulled out the generator and set it up under my patio roof. I retrieved some extension cords from the Christmas lights storage bin and proceeded to see what I could get working. I plugged the TV and cable modem w/cable box into the generator and turned them on.... low and behold, wifi and cable tv work. I made sure to charge all of the electronics (i-pads, phones, rechargeable flashlights, etc.) I was really just checking to see what I could get working because I figured the power would come on shortly. At this point, I really had a minimal load (TV, Cable, Wi-fi, charging some devices), and fortunately, our house has a gas fireplace, gas, stove, and gas water heater. The power did not come back on and it was getting late. I disconnected all consumers (wi-fi, tv, cable box, etc) and plugged the generator into the refrigerator at about 8:30 and it fired right up. You could hear the load on the generator. Plugged TV/Cable/WiFi back in... all worked. The power returned at about 10:30. The little generator worked perfectly. No complaints here.

Tres bon produit, silencieux comme désiré. Livraison rapide et en bonne état. Très satisfait. Mode eco semble bien, a essayer.
