About WEN DF1100T 11,000-Watt 120V/240V Dual Fuel Portable Generator
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
96% were satisfied with the quiet operation
The noise level of the generator is very tolerable. I had to stop and listen for it running when I was 150 yards away. My neighbors who were also 150 yards away didn't even notice it.
The generator is really quiet. I can't hear it running from my bedroom window. I compared it with another generator.
92% found maintenance straightforward, but 8% faced complications
I drain the gasoline between storms if I don't use propane and keep a battery maintainer hooked up to keep the battery at the ready.
Having propane means I don't need to drain gas out of the system during monthly maintenance runs.
Since I installed it, the generator has been burning oil excessively and has engine noise.
95% found it easy to start up
Setting up the generator is easy by removing the metal shipping brackets and reviewing safety and other instructions.
93% appreciated the long runtime
When the HVAC compressor kicked on, the generator lagged down but recovered back to normal within about 3 seconds.
I am running a 4 ton A/C, a 1.5 ton minisplit and the water well all at the same time with no problems.
90% appreciated the high power output
I was able to operate a 1500w room heater and bedroom lamp without any issues using the generator.
92% found it easy to transport
I can hook up the generator to an outdoor propane tank for semi-permanent installation, but it also has a tank for ethanol and wheels and handles for being more mobile.
I found that the generator has quality handles for lifting, thick tires for easy moving and takes up little room in the garage, making it portable.
95% liked the fuel efficiency
Running the generator on propane is more expensive but it burns cleaner and extends the engine life compared to gasoline.
The generator works on both propane and gasoline, but gas is more efficient.
90% liked the sturdy construction
I was impressed with the build quality of this generator. I was expecting loose bolts and cheesy brackets, but I was surprised to see that it is actually very well built. It is heavy, strong, and doesn't rattle at all. I am confident that this unit will last a long time.
