Can't be beat for the price!
This generator is supposed to supply power and start quickly. It does that without fail. So, why pay more for a more popular "name brand" generator when you can buy this one for such a great price?? Thus, my five star rating. You will be happy with this purchase, especially when you compare power and price with the other brands out there.

    good little generator
    Perfect for small generator application, that is when you need 1500w loading. Am rehabbing properties and it comes in as a excellent choice, will run a circular saw or a miter saw, not at the same time though, plus some lighting without much complaint. Best part is that it runs all day on what my bigger unit would suck up in gas in a hour or two. Starts easy, sometimes not of the first pull but by the third it is on line. Yes you could buy a Honda that starts on first pull, but come on guys it is a screaming 2 hp motor so even my 60 year old wife has no problems starting it. On the other hand I can buy 3 WEN's for the same price, and from experience they have about the same lifespan.

    Not quiet at all
    The literature on the generator says it's under 65 decibels, which is certainly quite understated! This thing is at least as loud as a vacuum cleaner (±80 dB) and not as pleasant a noise as a vacuum, not that a vacuum is pleasant to listen to. In fact this generator is louder than the 2 stroke model it replaced. It can't be used where I needed to use it and so I will just be out a couple hundred dollars as I can't return it now either. So, if noise is an issue, DON'T get this generator! Also, it's extremely hard to start when the outside temperature is below 55 degrees, which is when I most need to use it. Otherwise, it seems to be okay; it generates the proper amount of power, but I haven't had an opportunity to run it long enough to see if it gets the stated fuel economy; I would be surprised if it did, as I couldn't tell any real difference between the RPMs at half load and full load. It seems to be running wide open even when there is nothing connected to it.

    Wen Generator
    Brought generator home and set up to test run with fuel, oil, ground wire and stake. Machine started after three pulls on starter cord. After relieving choke it ran smoothly. Tested power AC outlets and were working fine. I purchased generator to provide power for my travel trailer basic needs when battery was depleted. My wife's hearing condition sensitivities to noise caused me to comply with her wish that I not run it. Her tinnitus in ear causes extreme pain that the motor aggravated. I personnally was not bothered. While I returned machine for a refund, it was acceptable noise level when running for non-impaired people. Machine weighed 52 lb. and was easy to move and compact enough for storage.

    Generator works as described
    The generator started right up. I have been using it for 4 hours now powering a 4 1/2 hand grinder cutting sheet metal. It works as I expected.

    Good job
    Recent hurricane matthew. Ordered this as a backup to my 5500watt generator for small electrics. Started right up, pretty quiet. Did a good job running my smaller appliances while my larger one did the large ones. Lightweight, easy to move. Ran my well pump at my barn, but would only run it for about 20 minutes before needing reset. A little under powered for that. Paid extra for 2 day shipping and it arrived on time. No complaints there. Overall a good product that I am happy with. The only issue is you need a funnel with a flexible tube to put oil in it. Very happy with the price as the same item at big box stores were $30-$40 higher.

    Perfect Solution
    I recently bought this generator to pump out water from around firewalls in the oil field where electric is not available. It does the job perfectly. I filled the crankcase with oil and filled up the gas, 2 pulls on the rope and it started. It is light weight and can be handled easily. No complaints. The price was just right as well.

    Wen 1800 Watt Generator
    What a great generator for a great price. Took it camping and it started on the very first try! It even ran my 5,000 BTU air conditioner in the pop up trailer. I was surprised at how quiet it was. I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

    Perfect for my application
    The price was right for this small generator, so I purchased it to use with my travel trailer for running the microwave and recharging batteries. It seems to be well-made, and it fire-up with no problems. As a test, I plugged in a large miter saw, and while the saw started just a little slowly, it ran fine and cut without bogging. This generator is light-weight, easy to lift and move around. I recommend it for low-power requirements.
