About WEN DF451i Super Quiet 4500-Watt Electric Start Dual Fuel RV-Ready Portable Inverter Generator
Overall Feedback:
77% positive
95% liked the sturdy construction, but 5% found it flimsy
I find the design of the housing and handles on the unit lacking, despite the price difference.
The generator is heavy and difficult to carry around, which can be problematic for those who need to move it frequently, especially if they have a muscle condition.
98% liked the fuel efficiency
The generator is fuel efficient and only burns about 2/3s of a tank of gas.
98% found maintenance straightforward, but 2% faced complications
I found a loose wire connection and fixed it, which solved the problem with the fuel gauge and power output gauge.
I highly recommend the oil change, which took less than 5 minutes.
The generator can run for a while without needing fuel attention.
If the master power switch is left on for more than 3 days without starting the generator, the battery will be dead.

98% were satisfied with the quiet operation
An inverter sets the engine speed to match the load, not the output voltage/frequency. This results in less engine noise at partial loads than non-inverter types.
I keep my generator 30 feet away and point the exhaust towards the shrubs so that it is not loud even in a campground where everyone is 10 feet away.
I found the unit to be quiet and it only burned about 2/3s of a tank of gas.
97% found it easy to transport, but 3% found it bulky
I am dissatisfied with the handle design of the generator. It is impractical when the generator has wheels and an extended handle would be much more useful.
95% appreciated the high power output, but 5% found it insufficient
I traced the problem with the fuel gauge and power output gauge not working to a bad connection.
I am dissatisfied with the marketing of my generator as 3500 watts when it is actually only temporary for surges, unlike the advertised 4500 watts.
97% appreciated the long runtime
I used the generator during a 3 day trip across the country and it performed flawlessly. It was able to power my small travel trailer, microwave, TV, and CPAP machine. Additionally, it was quiet and only burned about 2/3s of a tank of gas.
97% found it easy to start up, but 3% experienced difficulties
The push button start makes it easy to use without the need to pull start.
The first start-up was rough.
