What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this generator for exceptional value, ease of use, and reliable performance. Many highlight the electric start feature, simple assembly, and consistent power output during outages, noting it powers essential appliances like refrigerators and sump pumps without issue. Several users report 24-hour continuous operation during storms and appreciate the quiet, steady performance. However, a notable group encounters serious mechanical failures including engines seizing after minimal use and cracked motor mounts. Some also struggle with difficult shipping bracket removal and unclear wiring diagrams. Despite these drawbacks, most customers consider it a worthwhile investment.

Perfect For Any Outage
Would RecommendAfter several power outages including one that left us in the dark for 12 days, we finally got this. It's definitely worth every penny. Powers virtually everything and run time is perfect. Easy set up and quick simple start up. Portable and comes with every outlet for every situation. Highly recommend to anyone in need of a good generator at an amazing price.

Junk
Would Not RecommendWill not run, starts right up while choke is engaged, then immediately shuts off when moved to run position. Followed all instructions and full tank of non-ethanol gas.
Junk-so far
Would Not RecommendSo far it’s a 100 pound boat anchor, filled with oil, fresh gas, removed all shipping supports and will not run. Fires right up in “choke” mode and shuts down in “run” mode. Will update if customer support is helpful.

Be home when they deliver !
Would RecommendProduct is fine. Delivery person unloaded it in front of my carport where rain could have gotten on it or possibly stolen. It was only 6 more feet to be out of the weather under my carport.

Non starter
Would Not RecommendSeveral problems with the WEN 5600 / 4500 -Watt Gasoline Single-Fuel Portable Generator. First of all, it would not start, neither with a pull nor with the battery. In fact, the battery arrived dead. Several yanks on the starter proved useless. Then we noticed the gas was leaking from the valve attached to the gas tank. That ended our attempts at starting it. Thankfully Lowes accepted the return, but the gas had to be removed from the leaking tank. I haven't siphoned gas since the Carter Admini...
