The WEN 4800-Watt Inverter Generator provides clean energy, free of voltage spikes and drops, without all the noise of a regular generator. Produce up to 5000 surge watts and 4220 rated watts of power on gasoline, or connect a propane tank using the tool-free quick-connector for up to 5000 surge watts and 3800 rated watts of power on LPG. The keyless electric start lets you turn on your generator at the press of a button, and includes a recoil starter as backup. The bonded-neutral 240V configuration provides low-power Level 2 battery EV charging for peace of mind when your electric vehicle is off the grid. The WEN Watchdog CO Shutdown Sensor helps protect both you and your family by automatically turning off the generator if dangerous levels of carbon monoxide are detected. Our 224cc engine operates at a modest 58 decibels at no load and 64 decibels at half load. This limits its invasiveness while camping, hunting, tailgating, and restoring backup power. The WEN 5000W Inverter Generator is also equipped with fuel shutoff. This feature turns off the flow of fuel, allowing for the generator to use up the remaining fuel from the carburetor before automatically shutting down. This helps fight the build-up and blockages caused by stagnant fuel inside of the carburetor, minimizing maintenance while prolonging the unit’s lifespan. Designed to mirror a pure sine wave, this generator limits total harmonic distortion to under 0.3 percent at no load and under 1.2 percent at full load, making it safe to run laptops, cellphones, monitors, tablets and other sensitive electronics. The built-in wheels and telescoping handle make for easy portability while the ultra-efficient 2.9-gallon tank provides up to 9 hours of half-load run time (or 7.1 hours half-load run time on a 20-pound LPG tank). The fully-packed panel comes equipped with one 120V\/240V NEMA transfer-switch or electric-vehicle-ready L14-30R receptacle, two three-prong 120V NEMA 5-20R receptacles, one 12V DC receptacle, one 120V TT-30R RV receptacle, a voltage selector switch, and two 5V USB ports. Maximize fuel economy by engaging the eco-mode switch. This allows the generator's engine to automatically adjust its fuel consumption as items are plugged into and unplugged from the panel, preventing the unnecessary usage of gasoline. Need more energy? Easily link up any two WEN inverter generators using a WEN Parallel Connection Kit (sold separately) in order to share wattage amongst multiple units. Low-oil and low-fuel automatic shutdown combine with the built-in overload protection and indicator lights to safeguard both your generator and your electronics from damage. And because this is a WEN Product, your inverter generator comes backed by a 3-year limited warranty, a nationwide network of skilled service technicians, and a friendly customer helpline. Remember when your generator powered your electronics safely and quietly? Remember WEN. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #444444;\"\u003e224cc dual-fuel engine runs on both gasoline (5000 surge watts, 4220 rated watts) and propane (5000 surge watts, 3800 rated watts)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #444444;\"\u003eBonded-neutral 240V configuration provides low-power Level 2 charging for battery and hybrid electric vehicles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #444444;\"\u003eThe WEN Watchdog CO Shutdown Sensor helps protect both you and your family by automatically turning off the generator if dangerous levels of carbon monoxide are detected\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #444444;\"\u003eExtremely quiet operation comparable to the sound of a normal conversation according to the US Department of Health and Human Services\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #444444;\"\u003eIncludes fuel shut-off to help limit maintenance, onboard wheels, a telescoping pull handle, one L14-30R 120V\/240V receptacle, two three-prong 120V receptacles, one TT-30R RV receptacle, one 12V DC receptacle, two 5V USB ports, a voltage selector switch, a tool-free LPG quick-connector, and a three-year warranty\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat our Experts Think\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"27\" data-end=\"244\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"29\" data-end=\"244\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"29\" data-end=\"175\"\u003eWEN DF500iX 5000-Watt Dual Fuel 120V\/240V RV and EV-Ready Electric Start Portable Inverter Generator delivers versatile, reliable backup power\u003c\/strong\u003e for RV travel, EV charging support, home emergencies, and job sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"246\" data-end=\"375\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"248\" data-end=\"375\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"248\" data-end=\"294\"\u003eDual fuel capability (Gasoline or Propane)\u003c\/strong\u003e provides flexibility, longer runtime options, and added security during outages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"377\" data-end=\"518\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"379\" data-end=\"518\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"379\" data-end=\"419\"\u003e5000 peak watts \/ 4000 running watts\u003c\/strong\u003e easily power RV air conditioners, refrigerators, sump pumps, tools, and essential home appliances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"520\" data-end=\"638\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"522\" data-end=\"638\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"522\" data-end=\"546\"\u003eRV \u0026amp;
