Buyer Reviews
I bought this generator since I wanted a modest generator that would present both 120 and 240 volts. You have to read the generator descriptions really meticulously simply because they are usually written by somebody who has small electrical expertise or they are written by the enterprise and are sometimes misleading. For instance, this generator would be rated at the surge capacity of 3500 watts by various manufacturers as an alternative of the 3000 watts that Amazon lists. The generator started at the 1st pull and I bought an RV plug to connect to the circular twistlock plug that comes with the generator. This plug costs about twenty dollars but is included with the generator. I wanted to be able to get the complete output at 120 volts so I put in a contact to the telephone quantity painted on the generator and discovered the men and women manning the phones didn't know what they had been talking about. I put in an inquiry at Wen's web-site and got a call the next day from an individual who was rather beneficial. So here is the deal: When the 120/240 switch is set at 120, the complete 25 amps is available at either of the 120 receptacles. When the switch is set at 240, 120 volts is readily available at the twistlock and so is 240 volts. But, because the two outputs of the generator are now in series, you can only pull decreased amperage of about 13 amps from either the 120 or 240 volts, but not both. This is a quite really good design and so far the generator has never failed to commence on the initially pull. I am particularly pleased with it. I have an associate degree in electronics and have a very good deal of knowledge in this are.
I purchased this generator at Menards in December '08. We often have power outages and the sump pit fills up swift. I wanted one thing compact to take care of this, so I went into Menards and threw down $299 and took it household. It has been a fantastic generator. 3500 watt surge, 3000 watt cont. It got us through a key storm in Could of '09 when we had been with out power for about 5 days. I could not be happier with it. My only regret is not receiving the 5500 watt unit. You Must take care of it. Continually use stabil fuel stabilizer in it. Commence it once a month and run for about 15 minutes on half load. Often shut it down by turning off fuel provide and let it run out of gas. Use only synthetic oil and transform and check Regularly. Recall, this is a chinese knockoff of a honda engine and you Have to take care of it or you won't have it as extended as you should certainly.
Also, DO NOT BACKFEED YOUR BREAKER BOX. This can and WILL KILL A LINE WORKER. You will then be held liable and spend a very long time in jail. If you do not know what backfeeding is, do a search. They make a device named a transfer switch, that is what I got and installed and it operates good. It is about as substantially as the generator but well worth the expense. I bought a relliance unit. Item suggested.
