6800-Watt Dual Fuel RV-Ready Electric Start Portable Inverter Generator with Fuel Shut Off and CO Watchdog for Electric Vehicle Backup (DF680iX)

We were in need of a more powerful generator for our newly purchased off grid cabin. We were of course told to go with Honda for quiet operations and efficiencies, but after purchasing the cabin, we only had a limited amount of funds available. Needed to make our investment really pay off. Boy did it ever! After some research, we began to understand that WEN is a very reputable company in this space. After frankly, after seeing a YouTube video showing how this generator can be used for whole house backup, we were sold! So first things first, since we were using this for off grid power through a fully code compliant panel, you will want to UNBOND this generator, placing it into floating neutral. A very easy process and something we learned along the way. We also love the idea of dual fuel options. We will eventually be installing larger, more powerful solar solutions, but for now, needed a way to keep cabin alive. We do have a gas caddy and adequate supply, but that does add up in terms of cost over the weekends. However, using a 40lb propane tank at around $15.00 filled for two (2) full weekends, that was outstanding. Very efficient, and we are capable of running in Eco Mode during the evening and early morning hours. Speaking of Eco Mode, this genny is very quiet. Yes, you do hear it throughout the cabin but move about 100 yards away and the sound fades almost all away. Great for hunting and general game watching activities. Also has no issues running our water pump, which was the main reason we needed to more powerful device when the weather is colder and does not run as efficiently in terms of power production. Yes, this item is heavy. Our use is essentially in a stationary position only moving in and out of the crawl space below the cabin. However, you can easily use this for portable operations with stronger individuals and certainly an able-bodied couple. All in all, extremely satisfied with this product and glad we took the risk of purchasing this brand. Just goes to show, do your research and don't be afraid to make decisions based upon your needs. Be wary of influencers or paid shives who don't give you the facts. This is an awesome device, and I would certainly not only recommend it, but also purchase it again! BTW, the only reason we keep pushing solar is not only "free" energy, but also the peace and quiet. But when working and living off grid, you have to do what you have to do given different situations.

I recently purchased the WEN 6800-Watt Dual Fuel RV-Ready Electric Start Portable Inverter Generator (DF680iX), and it has exceeded my expectations. The dual fuel capability is a huge advantage—I’ve been able to switch between gasoline and propane easily depending on availability, which gives great flexibility. The electric start works flawlessly, making it very convenient to use, and the generator runs surprisingly quiet for its power level. I also appreciate the CO Watchdog feature, which adds an extra layer of safety, especially when using it around the house or during emergencies. Power output has been strong and consistent. It handles multiple appliances smoothly, making it perfect for home backup or RV use. The build quality feels solid, and overall it gives a sense of reliability. Highly recommend this generator to anyone looking for a dependable, versatile, and user-friendly power solution.

Very nice inverter. I was looking for a generator to power my fifth wheel. Wanted an inverter. Wanted to run both AC's. bought the WEN 6800-Watt Dual Fuel RV-Ready Electric Start Portable Inverter Generator with Fuel Shut Off . Nephew recommended WEN and I have been very pleased. I have around 30 hours on it, all running on propane. I don't think I will put gas in it. electric start, not remote, works great. I have lifted it in my bed of my truck but its not for the weak. It is short enough that it does not interfer with the fifth wheel. Dual fuel. Quiet. Love it.

Great generator, good power for size. Two negative--- no 1. oil dip stick needs a magnet tip. Bought a replacement magnetic dip stick. But for the price it should come standard. No. 2 -- again for price--- the generator should have battery discount switch on front panel, instead of have to open the side panel up to plug / unplug battery after use. Several other makes in the same power rating have battery switch on front panel. Take care of the two items, and the generator would be a solid " 5 Star". Set up was eary, oil adding was good, over all quality was good. First start up went well. Run time on propane is a plus. Be sure to add a fuel stabilizer if going to run gas -- if gas is left in tank. ( Use propane ) But that why we bought this one --- dual fuel. The handle makes moving the generator easier because of the weight--- nice plus. It seems to be a little loader than expected, but that may be because of how it was setting on the ground when we first ran it. Over all performance is good. We added a extra motor guage for rpm, time, service time. Original guage is limited to volts, freq, and time ( 2 ). Would rate it higher than 4 stars, maybe a 4 1/2 stars is better. But there is room for improvement. Easy fix to get it to a solid 5 Star. Working off the breaking period, so far it fits our needs well. The pluses out weight the negatives by a lot!!!! Would highly recommend it.

This is the 2nd Wen I've purchased and will say that I'll never buy another Honda again. I do excavation for a living and we constantly have issues with our Honda 2000's and my when has sucked up a 5gal bucket of sand at the dunes, sat for 2 years and fired right back up when needed. As for the Honda's, they run on premium non-eth gas and always have issues.... Just got the bigger Wen for our camp trailer and it fired up first pull after adding oil and gas! Ran everything in the camp trailer all at the same time and didn't phase it one bit!!! Telling everyone I know to buy this if they're looking for a great generator. (6800 watt dual fuel)

Fairly sure we got about 3 hours out of it. Will run okay on propane but not on gasoline. Did everything by the book. Watched all the youtube videos, tried everything. My guess is it's a faulty fuel solenoid or something starving it for fuel. I don't want to waste time on it. Compared to my westinghouse which has ran flawlessly for two years, countless hours, this thing was a complete waste of time and money. Even filling out the form on their website for support will take you a half hour. Then it was weeks before I got back some canned response asking for questions I already answered. If you're a smart amazon buyer and you read the 1-star reviews first, here's the review you were looking for. There's no free lunch. Just suck it up and buy a honda like you've already read across amazon, reddit and youtube.

This is absolutely fantastic. I run it on propane and it works perfect. The price was good and the shipping was fast.

Had a few issues with set up and battery was not strong enough to start the unit by push button. About an hour of fiddling (petcock needle stuck and dumped gas - easy fix). Started right up and everything ran perfect and quiet. Looking forward to running it on LP. Hooked up a window AC unit and an upright deep freeze. Ran great and even kicked down a bit in eco mode. Happy and hoping it lasts for years to come.
