Powering 3 Refrigerators & 2 Freezers on a Wen Propane Generator

[@bennyrosalez6648]

Hello, I just pruchased the Wen 4750W today, Dec 2024 and it wasnt hard to put together. I did see the shipping " Red Brackets" need to come off. Also, I read on another video that if you are running this on propane, that you do not need to choke it, only with gas. Seems well built, my first time using this brand. It seems to be a very good generator and the price was great. Its also very quiet for a generator.. Easy to start and I am very happy with this unit. I will be buying a Gentent to protect it from rain and snow. Thank you for doing a nice video !!!!!!

[@rvr2]

I guess it's not necessary to remove the red brackets, but I did per the instructions. Never tried to start it without the choke using propane.. I may try that sometime. Glad you liked the video.

[@bennyrosalez6648]

@@rvr2 Hello, it is important to remove them. Removing the red moving brackets is very important it allows the rubber vibration mounts to work, without, could cause issue with a broken mounts. Also, I stand corrected, when trying to start my generator on propane, I did need to use the choke. because without was much harder to start. Thank you

[@floridadave224]

Mine was delivered yesterday...this video was VERY helpful. 1) I wouldn't have thought to set the generator up on the dolly to work on it. 2) wouldn't have thought to use the 30 amp adapter.... EXCELLENT!!

[@rvr2]

Glad it helped! Yeah less strain on my back and this plug adapter for the 30amp gives you more plugs for more appliances.

[@joec.1906]

I am sure it can handle all 3 Refrigerators & 2 Freezers with NO surge starting watts applied. Using propane on this model you only get 4350 surge and 3500 running watts, then then if using gas. Looks like you have older appliances and their starting watts would be higher then modern appliances. If all the compressors started at the same time your starting watts would likely exceed the 4350 surge starting watts or be close. Even though it is unlikely they will all do this at the same time it is not a good idea to max out any generator, however I appreciate the demonstration video.

[@1963twinkle]

I'm about to purchase one the 5600 watts.

[@dalehammond1749]

Thanks for doing a video that actually gives us some pertinent information. So many done by other people tell us nothing about a product's potential and overall quality under actual usage. Very well done! I ordered this generator and hope it will run our 1/2 HP well pump. Best to you and we will subscribe.

[@rvr2]

Glad this was helpful! It's worked out well so far. Thanks again!

[@joshuagrasty7034]

I was looking at getting this same generator for that very same reason. Did you get it and is it working to run your well pump?

[@supercraig2009]

Nice Demo. Appears the WEN generator is up to par with others in this class: Champion, Westinghouse

[@n.b.p.davenport7066]

That's a lot of extension cords

[@joshlasceski]

This can help with voltage drop. When I connected my laser printer to the same circuit as the computer, the voltage to my computer dropped to 98 volts, but no issues when I plug it into a different leg.

[@40953rdst]

Nicely done. Thank you!

[@rvr2]

Glad you liked it!

[@bobbyjones7000]

I thought the 120/240 switch meant it wouldn't let you use both at the same time but it appeasers you are.

[@edlangford5097]

Thank you for the video. Nicely done

[@Kingrager]

You would need to leave the doors open for the compressors to kick on to check if it would take load

[@cartycartyamplifiersalesrepair]

Great video Sir really appreciate it keep up the good work nuff respect 👍🏽👍🏽🙏🏽

[@wavythedon1766]

I purchased the 8000 watts wen generator dual fuel

[@Malosoviejo]

Wow nice generator. Love the propane option!

[@rvr2]

Thanks! Got it for my parents. The propane option is the main reason I bought this.

[@thesmashtvnetwork]

@@rvr2 you ever consider solar I have it on some land I got for 800$ I do not live on it cost me 40k I make about 400$ a month from the power company so in 12 years 7.600 profit and after that it 4,800 a year pretty good numbers and if your smart put a charge on the street and charge money to charge tesla :)

[@rvr2]

Our city zoning department has restrictions on solar panels inside the city limits (because it takes money from them) and charging stations are not allowed for profit here.

[@thesmashtvnetwork]

oh i never ask i just did it did not even know that was a thing

[@thesmashtvnetwork]

@Hunt or Die for the panel 25 years with warranty the bat depends on what state heat will tka elife span of bat down low end i say 10 years for bat with good cooling

[@gregg2903]

Question Please, Does the pull start work for both gas and propane? Or electric start for propane only?Thanks for the video very much appreciated.

[@rvr2]

Yes the pull start works on both fuel options, though it's much easier with the electric start.

[@jossa942]

Just got mine thank you for great video

[@rvr2]

Glad I could help!

[@timhorrigan2404]

are any of the compressors running on those???

[@jefferyb304]

I have a WEN generator. If I use the built-in 120-volt outlets, half of my adaptor gets turned off. No big deal. I just plug low-current draw items into an outlet strip.

[@donitmyself8935]

Now that you have them all pugged in and pre cooled. Open the doors on all of them and see witch one(s) don't get power.

[@Imageon44]

How do you use the 110 outlets when you've selected the 220 outlet? You are using all three I see.

[@rvr2]

There's a switch for 110 only or 220 which allows you to operate the 110 & 220 receptacles.

[@KHtally]

Hey great video and thank you for showing that. Been looking for the same info for awhile.

[@rvr2]

Thanks! Glad it helped!

[@redneckcherokee9283]

how long will it run on that size propane tank?

[@rvr2]

Don't know exactly but I ran it for 8 hours and still had a good bit of propane still in the tank

[@Tbird761]

The manual states 7 hours on a 20 pound tank at 50% load. Longer with less load, shorter with higher load.

[@robletto841]

Great generator!! A+ nice video

[@rvr2]

Thank you very much!

[@americanpancakelive]

Hi is that self grounded (to the frame) and if not do you have to do an earth ground?

[@rvr2]

Yes it is grounded to the frame

[@americanpancakelive]

@@rvr2 awesome, that makes things easier.

[@samueltaft8670]

Owners manual says it's an earth ground using the "ground nut" next to main breaker.

[@TKO-NY]

How do you buy a damaged one, or damaged Amazon items in general? How much of a break did you get on that?

[@rvr2]

Amazon warehouse. a couple hundred dollars

[@TKO-NY]

@@rvr2 it just seems to show me new items

[@TKO-NY]

@@rvr2 I guess it says used, but only shows a dozen or so generators. Guess its a hit or miss.

[@rvr2]

@@TKO-NY if they are damaged in any way they cannot be sold as new. I've bought 3 different generators from the Amazon warehouse and all had cosmetic issues but worked just fine.

[@TKO-NY]

@@rvr2 I'd sure like to find one

[@brindabassett1639]

Where did you get that plug in adapter?

[@rvr2]

Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B091PZPKHH

[@681419]

This adapter been out of stock for awhile… What specs do I look for??

[@j887276]

Nice video. How load is it? I'm assuming like a lawn mower or pressure washer? How long and what gauge extension cords? Any idea the wattage of the fridges and the chest freezer?

[@rvr2]

Thanks! Yeah similar decibel levels but it's not too bad. Used 50' & 100' cables, not sure the guage but I bought them at Lowes & Home Depot so standard extension cords. Not sure of the wattage but the generator provided enough for all my fridges and freezers with no issues.

[@aarongarcia4383]

What are the dimensions from outside wheel to outside wheel?

[@rvr2]

I have no idea.. I bought this for my parents and no longer have this generator. Maybe the Amazon product page has these dimensions..

[@earthenergyhex]

can you put an auto start on it for a Solar battery bank?

[@rvr2]

I have no idea.

[@masmoney5731]

It says loud like that ?

[@rvr2]

It's a generator.. They're all loud.

[@jonathanhosier7847]

1st off wait til all them compressors kick in at same time 2nd of course it will run when everything is cold not needing a compressor to kick in 3rd I’d want more meat in them fridges and freezers 💯

[@timhorrigan2404]

its probably just the lights
