Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Hurricane Irma - bought as a prep for the storm and things are working out great - constant usage for the last 4 days all through the day and night. Running full sized fridge and deep freezer, 7500 BTU window unit, TV and a floor fan. Also various chargers, etc... all at the same time. It does require some planning to get all of the larger appliances up and running so that the surge wattage does not hit all at once. Tripped the overload a few times getting it all figured out but this generator is running a heck of a lot more simultaneously than I thought it would when I bought it. Very happy so far. Have to disconnect the window unit to hook up the coffee maker, but that's a small price to pay for keeping the wife happy. I also want to comment on the fuel efficiency of this generator. Buddies of mine are running around struggling to fill their tanks with almost non-existent gas after the storm, and I'm just beginning to think of restocking my cans. We burn a gallon every 6-8 hours or so with all of the aforementioned load hooked up, but when out and about during the day, we have just the fridge and the deep freeze going and a gallon lasts almost 12 hours with just those two things going. I was nervous about how much gas we had on hand before the storm (12.5 gallons), but at this time, four days in, I just filled up the generator and we still have five gallons left in the cans. I am really happy with this generator as it suits this purpose. We still have all of our food, not struggling to find gas or ice, and we're sleeping cool and have hot coffee and the DirecTV is getting us news. I can't speak to the long term reliability of the unit and some of the negative reviews had me nervous, but four days of constant use have me writing this positive review. Very pleased. Hate Irma, love the Wen.
