User questions & answers

Question:	What is the decibal rating
Answer:	Mine was very loud because the control panel had a wire connector come out. Someone put a Zip Tie in the wrong place and caused it to yank out the wire at the manufacturer. If your generator is too loud (76 or more dB) and the Economy Switch doesn't do anything then you may have the same issue. From the intake side (side that is away from the exhaust) you'll see six screws covering the inlet. Pull those screws out and the inlet comes off. Then the control board (silver box) has two 10mm bolts at the bottom. Unscrew the bolts. The control board still has one screw on the side, leave that in place. You can swing the control board out and look at the back now. If one of the wire connectors has pulled out of the control board you should see it now. Put the connector back in and put everything else back. None of these steps are difficult, if it is difficult make sure you are on the intake side (the side away from the exhaust). It took me about 20 minutes to fix. Before I did this, 76dB at 15 feet. After I did this the economy mode switch works and in economy mode it's 58dB at 15 feet.
Question:	Can i get a rain tent cover for this
Answer:	Yes very good idea you would protect the generator from sun and rain.
Question:	Firman w03083 3300/3000 watt remote start is engine manufactured and built in the u.s.a ? or who builds it
Answer:	I'm not sure, but it's quite runs great, I am 100% happy!
Question:	Is this generator powerful enough to run my rv a/c along with a few other circuits
Answer:	Yeah, but pray you dont get a defective unit like I did. Firman customer service sucks

User questions & answers

Question:	Parallel is there a way to parallel these and use them to the full potential? Or get 240v
Answer:	No. I went through this the hard expensive way. You would need to wire these in series, not parallel. It is confusing for us non-electrical engineers. It would be a good idea to make a series kit because in my estimation most people who can afford a 50Amp RV aren't going to screw around with two generators when they can buy a Honda EU7000is. There are no consumer grade (affordable) 240v propane inverter generators available. Just loud dirty power.
Question:	The fuel is gasolinera or LPG or propane gas
Answer:	The iGen4500 runs solely on gasoline. We also offer the iGen4500DF, which runs on both gasoline and propane.
Question:	What is the Dual Fuel option
Answer:	Gas (liquid) or lpg propane tank. Really nice to have
Question:	cual es el costo de envio Puerto Rico
Answer:	I paid 995 for the machine. I don’t know how much shipping is to PR. But I do recommend the machine. It works great

Product description

Remember when you had clean and quiet portable power? The WEN 2,000-Watt Inverter Generator provides clean energy, free of voltage spikes and drops, without all the noise of a regular generator. Produce up to 2000 surge watts and 1700 rated watts of power. Our 79cc 4-stroke OHV engine operates at an extremely quiet 51 decibels at quarter load, quieter than a window air conditioner or the average conversation. This limits its invasiveness while camping, hunting, tailgating, and restoring backup power. The WEN 2000W Inverter Generator is also equipped with fuel shutoff. This feature turns off the flow of fuel, allowing for the generator to use up the remaining fuel from the carburetor before automatically shutting down. This helps fight the build-up and blockages caused by stagnant fuel inside of the carburetor, minimizing maintenance while prolonging the unit’s lifespan. Designed to mirror a pure sine wave, this generator limits total harmonic distortion to under 0.3 percent at no load and under 1.2 percent at full load, making it safe to run laptops, cellphones, monitors, tablets and other sensitive electronics. The lightweight 39-pound design makes for easy portability while the ultra-efficient one-gallon tank provides over 7 hours of half-load run time. The fully-packed panel comes equipped with two three-prong 120V 14A NEMA 5-20R receptacles, one 12V 8.3A DC receptacle and two 5V USB ports. Maximize fuel economy by engaging the eco-mode switch. This allows the generator's engine to automatically adjust its fuel consumption as items are plugged into and unplugged from the panel, preventing the unnecessary usage of gasoline. Need more energy? Easily link up any two WEN inverter generators using a WEN Parallel Connection Kit (sold separately) in order to share wattage amongst multiple units. Low-oil and low-fuel automatic shutdown combine with the built-in overload protection and indicator lights to safeguard both your generator and your electronics from damage. Backed by a two-year warranty.

• Ultralight body weighs in at a mere 39 pounds for easy transport and storage
• Extremely quiet operation comparable to the sound of a normal conversation according to the US Department of Health and Human Services
• Produces 2000 surge watts and 1700 rated watts of clean power for safe charging of sensitive electronics (phones, tablets, televisions, computers, etc.)
• Fuel shutoff maximizes the generator’s lifespan by using up the remaining fuel in the carburetor before shutting down
• Includes two three-prong 120V receptacles, one 12V DC receptacle, two 5V USB ports, and a two-year warranty

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there any generators comparable in price and amenities (quiet, light) that runs on propane
Answer:	One commenter wrote “I then converted it to tri-fuel (gasoline/propane/natural gas) using a kit from US Carburetion (kit MSK3202).” Using the MSK3202 to switch from gas to propane could result in a large THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) since “One can typically expect to get around 10 – 15 % less power from a propane generator compared an equivalent gas generator.” chainsawjournal Or using the MSK3202 to switch from gas to propane could result in an unknown THD plus 10 – 15 % less power.
Question:	Will this run out of the box? Does it include oil
Answer:	No Oil! Comes with the funnel to fill the oil. Once oil and gasoline are added it fires right up.
Question:	What are the true differences between this model and the 56200i which is more money, but seems to offer less features?? thanks
Answer:	I have both, the 56200i is heaver and slightly larger, it also has a fuel gauge. The 56203i is noticeably quieter and puts out slightly more wattage. You won't be disappointed with either of them.
Question:	Who makes the Engine
Answer:	Its made in China, its a copy of the Yamaha 79cc engine. Very reliable if you take care to service it properly.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use the pull start because it looks like the metal panel is in the way according to the picture
Answer:	The design is not optimal. The panel is in the way to pull the cord straight out. You pull it at a 90 degree angle, outward toward the handles. Mine starts pretty easily, usually one pull and it's not a hard pull. The cord housing is rounded, so the cord won't fray when pulled at 90 degrees.
Question:	What is the noise level
Answer:	To me, the noise seems low/reasonable. It has a large automotive style muffler (not a small lawn mower type). The generator mechanism itself also makes some noise, but not too loud. Actually, i thought this cheaper generator would be louder so I'm very pleased with the noise level. In fact, everything about this generator works well and seems to be high quality especially for the low price. I've not needed it for an actual outage yet, but I've run several tests through my transfer panel with various load levels for 15-20 mins at a time with perfect operation.
Question:	What type of gas should be used? Or does it even matter
Answer:	Alcohol free if possible. If not add a little Ethynol remover to the gas. Also if this has a fuel shutoff valve you should close the valve and let the engine use all the gas in the carburetor so it won't get all gummed up from the alcohol in the gas. I have a 6500 watt I have been using regularly since 2005 and keep it running great this way.
Question:	Can someone confirm if this (gas only) unit has an automatic choke? I'm seeing no reference to a choke lever/switch on pics or video
Answer:	Yes it’s a choke lever it’s hard to see , but it has sticker pointing it out , This generator is a beast had mine for 5 yrs just used it for first time 8/11/20 had gas in it & everything started up & ran like a champ , had 2 full size fridges , sump pump , injection pump & 65 gallon fish plugged up didn’t budge 👍🏾

User questions & answers

Question:	start a 13500 btu AC
Answer:	We have a 13,500 BTU A/C in out 2004 Mountaineer and this generator starts and runs it with no problems. We leave the generator in "economy" mode all the time and it naturally revs up when the A/C starts up, but has never failed to do its job. Also, we run it only on propane... it's never had a drop of gasoline in it.
Question:	Looks like it would weigh more with the battery and starter. Not much heavier than the 75531i
Answer:	Rope start backup.
Question:	How to connect to 500 gal tank
Answer:	mine is connected to our 500 gal tank but it took some work going back & forth between the tech at champion (have to get the right one) and my propane company. i had propane company put a quick disconnect valve at the house, where the propane goes into the house on the low side of the step down valve, then i had them make me a 20' hose that connects to the diaphragm / hose that champion provides minus their regulator. There is a limit on how long the new hose can be as the pressure will drop with distance and you do need a minimum about of gas pressure for it to work. (see other answer from Champion here). Triple check w/ both Champion & your propane company. Also when you turn it on to run, the gen will have to pull out the air in the hose, takes several short cranks on the gen and if it's cold out you may end up having to pull the cord - takes some practice w/ the choke. Once the propane is flowing it's easier to restart if you don't disconnect the hose from either end. I used it this way for 22 hrs recently and it worked like a charm. Don't forget to check the oil regularly. The diaphragm must be exposed to ambient air pressure but also must stay dry.
Question:	Does this come with the lp hose? And what connection is it
Answer:	Yes it does. The hose connection is std. 3/8 propane connection like a barbeque uses.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I run my AC
Answer:	Air conditioners require a certain amount of power (watts, which equals voltage [120 for plug-in, 240 for most central units] multiplied times current draw in amperes ["amps"]. and that's the running power it needs. But when it starts up, for a brief time is pulls more power to start, and for air conditioners the starting power required is more than for a lighter, easier spinning load like a window fan, so you need to identify the starting power draw. Generator ratings show a running power level and a starting power, compare to ensure you get a sufficiently powerful generator, and include all other loads that will connect to it (lighting, refrigerator, etc.), even though they will be less than most air conditioners, it all adds up.
Question:	is this rating "this inverter operates at 64 dBA from 23 feet" at peak draw, or idle
Answer:	The industry standard for measuring inverter output is 25% load.
Question:	I know the product dimensions are listed but they don't specify which is height, length and width. Can anyone please help me with that? Thanks
Answer:	I went out to measure and my approximate measurements are quite different than what's listed. I measured roughly 18inW x 20.5inL x 17.5inHWide I measured across top, front to backLength I measured across front from side to sideHeight I measured from ground to top, including height of gas cap. Hope this helps.
Question:	What makes this a hybrid generator? Is it an inverter generator, or something else
Answer:	We are using the term hybrid in the sense that we have taken a traditionally fully enclosed inverter style generator and put it on an open frame like a traditionally non-inverter style generator. This allows us to use a larger engine and increase output power while decreasing cost. The trade off is that this machine will be slightly louder than fully enclosed style inverters.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there aftermarket propane/ natural gas conversion kit for the 56380i generator? This generator exceeded all my expectations
Answer:	You will need the engine manufacturers model number to search for the kit on line.
Question:	Will this generator auto charge up a battery when it starts to get low
Answer:	No you should run your generator every 21 to 25 days and store it inside a garage. Cold weather can effect such a small battery. Let it run for 30 to 45 mins to recharge the internal battery. You could also buy a trickle charger for a small motorcycle battery size if you dont want to run your generator. Just be creative hook up your shop vac or air compressor to fill up tires on your vehicles or shop vacuum the interior while hooked up to your generator!
Question:	How long of an extension cord can I use with this generator
Answer:	I use a 100’ 10 gauge ext cord with no problems
Question:	Will the WEN 5380i run effeciently at 7800' elevation
Answer:	You have to buy a high altitude carb air jet. They are only $20 shipped with tax but are a little annoying to install.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the dB rating on this unit
Answer:	50 dB at 1/2”. That is what the manufacturer is saying. Without a standard it is worthless information. I can claim mine is 47 dB but that measurement is at 30’ from the quietest side another claims 57dB but that is at 10’ Reporting the max reading from any side. Guess which one is quieter? Every generator is 0dB if you stand far enough away.
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	Most of Generac’s products—like the XC Series portable generators—are built right here in Wisconsin. However, the iQ3500 is manufactured to our specifications by a partner overseas.
Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	Same as my DuroMax XP2000iS. These are all Yamaha clones. I paid $450 for mine. Same exact generator, just blue instead of orange. Also, the Pulsar PG2300iS at $429.
Question:	Generac 30 A for RV
Answer:	I have a Rockwood 233s travel trailer with a 15k air conditioning unit. This runs the whole unit, lights, fridge, water pump fans and AC no problem.

User questions & answers

Question:	If ran through either a 120v plug or a 30 amp adapter plug to 1 outlet in the house, is there a limit on how much you can power from one outlet
Answer:	definately restricted by the particular wiring in your home to that outlet 15 or 20 amp MAX. Unless your an electircian and know what, when , how, and why, you should not even be thinking about doing this ,and if your were, you would already know what your limits are and if you can do it. SO NO, dont do it!!!
Question:	How much oil shoud I put in it. I received the unit but no documentations on the first time oil fill up. Thanks to any and everyone
Answer:	20oz. This is in the supplied manual. Recommended oil is 10W30 for most climates.
Question:	What is the decibel level of this generator? I can't find it listed. Thanks
Answer:	69-decibels. generatorfactoryoutlet-dot-com. About like your typical lawn mower.When you have no commercial electricity, it will be the sweetest sound ever.
Question:	Is this big enough to power a small house in an outage of several days to a week (I know nothing about electricity and generators). Thanks
Answer:	It cannot run your entire house. We typically run a full-size freezer, refrigerator, several lights, and our internet router. I have run this generator for up to 48 hours, but most of our outages are in the 8-12 hour duration. I run this unit 2-3 times per year. I run drop cords from the unit to my critical stuff. It starts easily, and runs 8+ hours on a tank of gas under our load. When the power goes out, it takes me about 10 minutes to roll it out, start it, and get everything plugged in. It has never let me down, would definitely purchase again.

User questions & answers

Question:	How long will a tank last when only using the 12 volt plug
Answer:	Yes it can be. You will need a 50 amp breaker for a generator this size and make sure the power supply cord is rated for 50 amps also. I purchased the Conntech bundle package which includes a 15ft power cord along with the plug-in box for $169 here on Amazon along with the 50amp double pole breaker for about $20.

Question:	Is this quiet enough to keep me from getting kicked out of a campground that prohibits generators (due to noise
Answer:	Everything is made in China. Even my underpants

User questions & answers

Question:	What type of fuel do you put in
Answer:	Fuel must meet these requirements. Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). Gasoline with no more than 10% ethanol is acceptable. Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as E85. Do not mix oil in gasoline or modify the engine to run on alternate fuels. This will damage the engine components and void the warranty, To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel stabilizer into the fuel. Please refer to your owners manual for further instructions.
Question:	Has anyone converted theirs to propane
Answer:	I don't know of anyone converting, but would be interested in any response from someone who has. My home standby generator, Generac, is propane and I love it.
Question:	Does it have an electric start
Answer:	no, it has a pull start but it pulls very easy. Never had to pull more than twice. Electric starter is just one more thing to go wrong on a generator
Question:	Why won't it ship to California
Answer:	The Westinghouse product I am interested in will not ship to CA. What makes this odd is this exact unit is sold online and in stores here in CA. If it were in stock I would gladly buy locally. Maybe these situations will slowly bring Amazon to its long overdue knees.

User questions & answers

Question:	How long can i keep the generator running continuously? (westinghouse wgen
Answer:	If you are referring to "continuous duty cycle" which means runs 24/7? No, this is not rated for that, Continuous duty generators cost $15K and up, run on diesel fuel or natural gas, engine operates at 1800 RPM, (4 pole generator). basically out of most peoples price range, and unless you have natural gas to the residence?
Question:	Why oh why can't this be shipped to alaska? we're the ones that need generators
Answer:	You're too close to Russia. We don't want them falling into the wrong hands. 😂
Question:	Is the 50 amp 120/240V 14–50r transfer switch capable or can you only use the 30r? It says 50 amp transfer switch ready on the brochure
Answer:	The 240 volt outlet plug on the generator is a 30 amp style; not 50 amp. Most economical and safe whole home installation is a sliding plate on distribution panel, 30 amp “back feed” breaker, outdoor 30 amp plung-in box, 10 gauge wire (in conduit if exposed and susceptible to damage), 25 ft 240 volt generator connector cable, all for about $200 for DIY’s. DO NOT DEPEND ON ALWAYS REMEMBERING TO TURN OFF THE MAIN BREAKER!!!!!

Answer:	Hello Rob; I have used it on my Tv but not my computer. No particular reason.

Somebody at Best Buy for example that is a member of their Geek Squad. Personally, if it were me ,I would do it because I have a 60.00 Powerstrip.
