WEN 11,000-Watt 120V/240V Dual Fuel Portable Generator with Wheel Kit and Electric Start (DF1100T)

Bought this to replace an AI Power SAU12000 watt generator. The AI Power is a nice machine and served us well during power outages, but wanted more power and couldn't beat the price of this WEN. BTW, I plan on keeping the AI Power gennie too. I have several WEN products and LOVE THEM. The first WEN product I purchased was about 20 years go and still going strong. Delivery was easy, they brought it into the garage, I followed the set-up directions, brought it outside to its spot and it fired up effortlessly! Ran it for about a half hour, then shut it down. In the Spring, I'll put down a 4x4 concrete slab and get one of those steel enclosures. I highly recommend all WEN products. Great value. Some of these other generator manufacturers are insane with their pricing, and if you read some reviews, their customer service after the sale is non-existent. It was an easy decision. Good luck!

Assembled generator and was very easy to put together. The generator comes with all the tools that you need, even comes with a funnel and hose to fill with motor oil, (Awesome). Connected the propane to generator and started up. Running Great, with a 50% load. The generator is very easy to wheel around. Would definitely recommend this WEN generator. BTW, excellent price for this generator.

This product works very well. I have used it multiple times without any issue. Big enough to power most of household items. Very satisfied. Great price for a good product. Was fairly simple to out together.

I’m comparing this with my Wen 6800 generator. I could have gotten a different brand but the Wen 6800 works perfect I just needed more power to run my dryer. The Wen 6800 has enough to start up the dryer it didn’t have the continuous running power which I needed 5600 watts. Well this big daddy here is 14,500 watts start up but it drops around 10’000 something using propane and that’s enough for my dryer. This 120/240V Tri-Fuel is all it claims to be. I use only propane for my generator’s keeping it cleaner running. I learned from my smaller propane tanks it better to use the 40 or the 100-lb tank with this generator so they won’t frost up on you. I do recommend this generator. I live in town and I do have neighbors it’s not as quiet as my 6800 . It quickly dry the clothes and I use it once a week.other than Being some what louder than the other, perfect.

I think pretty much all of these portable generators are made in a couple of places in China. This particular one seems pretty good build quality. The parts seem pretty well made - not American but pretty good for the China man. A couple of things to know. The directions are good and the manual has excellent descriptors for a Chinese product. It goes together in about 20 minutes if you’re slow. HOWEVER, read the directions! MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE THE RED PACKIng ENGINE MOUNTS AS PER THE DIRECTIONS. DO THIS AS YOU ARE PUTTING ON THE RUBBER FEET BRACKET. DO NOT MISS THIS STEP. ONCE YOU PUT OIL IN IT YOUR GOING TO HAVE A TOUGH TIME GETTING THOSE BRACKETS OFF WITHOUT TURNING THE GENERATOR OVER. That is why the directions tell you this step first. Don’t ask me how I know that. The carburetor on this was stuck when I got it so the generator would only run on propane. If you’ll look at the picture you see an arrow pointing at the carburetor drain screw. Remove that screw ( DONT DROP IT AND MAKE SURE THAT LITTLE GASKET STAYS ON THE SCREW.) Again, don’t ask me how I know that. Spray some carburetor cleaner in that hole. Give it a real good spray. Then get the handle of your pocket knife and tap on the carburetor. That should unstick that float needle and allow gas to glow freely. Crank it up after you’ve read the directions again! Check on line to see if you can get ethanol free fuel. Its worth a drive to get the good stuff and stay away from the corn fuel. I also opted for the magnetic aluminum oil dipstick it’s well worth the money. I’ll check back in over the years to leave updates. But the China man did all right. I wish Americans would produce products again - I would sure buy ‘em. 1-24-24. (MAKE SURE YOU RUN IT EVERY MONTH WITH A LOAD ON IT AND USE ETHANOL FREE GAS IF YOU CAN)I haven’t had to use it in an emergency yet, however, I do run it EVERY 6 weeks or so. BUT I RUN IT WITH A LOAD ON IT!! I hook up a1500 watt space heater and run it for 30 minutes. Runs good on both propane and gas. I had a 50 amp electrical service put in on the side of my home. If I have to use the gen I take it from my shed, roll it over to the hook up, plug in the 50 amp Rv electrical cord, use the electrical block out plate on the panel and we’re back in business. I can run everything in the house including the central HVAC. So far - so good. So I guess we’re ready for gen z’s zombie apocalypse. 3/2025. I run it every six weeks on both ethanol free gas and propane! Never has failed. I decided to try the pull start the other day. Just for grins. I wanted to see if it was hard to start with the pull handle. It was about 80 degrees and I opened the lever to start the flow of fuel from the gas tank to the carburetor. I waited about two minutes before I tried even once. The generator turned over very easily and started on the first pole. I’m surprised at this generator. It is very big and heavy and loud, but it looks like it will take care of our place. Should we need it in the future. I don’t think you can go wrong getting one and this one this big will run my entire house. So far so good - it’s been a good buy 8-8 -25. Car accident took out some power poles in our N Texas county. 105degress heat index. Pulled the Ginny out. Hooked it up and it ran flawlessly. My whole house 3 ton ac too. I did turn off my water heater. I installed a “soft start” on the ac too. It was great! Unless you have electrical experience, leave the connections up to the pros. I’m still running the generator every 6 weeks with a load on and ABSOLUTELY NO ethanol gas!!!!

I was VERY impressed with the quick responses I received from NYRS. They handled a problem I was having with delivery, quickly and completely to my satisfaction. Thank you NYRS.

Great unit, performs exactly as stated, Thank you

generator seems to work fine altho haven't had a chance to reallytry it yet. Started easily. Problem I have is that I have ordered a couple of dipsticks, supposed to be for this model. Not ! I can't get info to see which one has the proper threading. The ones recommended do not work. So this is a frustrating issue.
